KarG's bio
I'm an Irish Nana, loving the UK after living in Spain for 14 years. 'Why on earth did you leave there', I hear you ask. The sunshine my two grandchildren bring to my life, far surpasses the rays from the sky. Wherever they are, their Nana will be too! -

Is it realistic to expect over 70s to remain in their homes for 4 months?I think everyone will be confined to their homes for months,within the next few days.ViewDate:

Is a 'stiff-upper-lip' mentality partially to blame for today's mental health problems?Jeanmark, on reading through replies on here, I have to say, you have the most compassionate, well rounded view of the whole mental health issue. Like the physical pain threshold, one person's ability to withstand mental anguish, is different from another and having to mask it by whatever means, can be detrimental in the long run. Yes, social media is to blame in that young people are less inclined to talk to each other and open up. However, it is a great help in that, when they realise they are not alone, when they see a celebrity open up about similar issues, they are experiencing, it gives them confidence to discuss it. Rather than criticise people, of all ages, for the inability to cope, being compassionate is so important. The arrogance of considering other people's problems and how they affect them, trivial, no matter at what age, is as incompassionate as it is cruel. Nobody knows what's going on in someone else's mind and what might seem like a overreaction to a simple problem could just be the straw that broke the camel's back for a person hiding high anxiety.ViewDate:

A MillionaireWhat a beautifully written and related poem. This old man has got it in a nutshell and I like to think that is the way I view and live my life. Thank you for sharing. xViewDate:

We are Family!Carole, I love that quote from your Dad, lol. I'm the same, still wear blue eyeshadow like I did in those days. Reconnecting with my teenage bestie has been a great trip down memory lane. I'll post another story I've written about those years soon xViewDate:

Is there an upper age limit for wearing animal print?I absolutely love animal print, always have. I think I got my love of it from seeing my mother, who was always very glamorous and classy, wearing it. Like anything, it depends how it's worn. If there ever is an upper age limit for wearing animal print, I for one will be ignoring it.ViewDate:
