I really don't have many "feelings". Probably got a bit jaded and 'heard it all before' at my age.

I don't like hearing about kids & animals having a bad time, but most other things tend to pass me by. Unless somebody is 'out of order', then I may show signs of 'feelings', but most of the time I go with the flow and little bothers me.

Oh gawd, its not just me then.

Ronnie gets terribly exited about everything she sees wrong with the world and gets quite upset when I tell her that whilst I agree in principle, I really don't care that much any more. Caring deeply about injustice etc is for the young or those that can do something about it. I did all that and now want to try and relax and enjoy whats left - which sadly, is not that much.

You get to the age where you really have seen it all before and there is nothing about humans and their squabbles about bugger all important that surprises.

Sad maybe but true. Just leave me alone to play.

I'm with Ronnie on this one. Injustice burns and the burn never goes away. Propaganda goes like: 'its time to move on'. WTF are they on about with 'its time to move on' - Someone is missing a hand, an arm, a career, their children, their reputation. You don't move on from injustice. But it gets worse - think of all these "senseless" mass shootings we see. They are not senseless at all - they have wrong sense but they are not senseless. Here is a thought: For every Dunblane there must be a thousand cases that came within an inch of that.

i can't argue with the sentiment but really, once you get to my age, you have seen so much stupidity, violence, intolerance, warmongering and more, much more stupidity, that you just want to try and cocoon yourself in a little sanity. That means trying hard to ignore all the shit out there. I know trying to create your own little world is bound to fail ultimately but it has a great attraction.

Local government facilities management, altogether too boring to bring up in polite conversation really

These days, mostly rental income from property investment, together with what my art and picture framing business generates, which I’ve cut back on now, due to semi-retirement - and of course Del earns quite good money as a college lecturer

Anyway, I thought that sex gods were on mega-bucks!
