Sort of weird to think about I guess but I was thinking of all the things I've done in my life and the interesting memories. Then I started thinking about the things I haven't done. That I had on a bucket list I had compiled but...

pumpkinjam @celticeagle I like being in and around water. My husband wouldn't go on a cruise (well, I might persuade him to go on one of those river cruises somewhere not too warm! He's OK with water as long as he can see the bottom. He doesn't care how deep or shallow...

pumpkinjam I kind of have a bucket list. I have parachuted out of a plane. That kicked off my bucket list it's a very long list, which seems to get longer as I add more than I complete. I've never owned a home (amd probably never will). A cruise is on my...

My son (Midi) and I have had a lot of fun over the past few days. We travelled by train up to Liverpool on Sunday. We checked in to The Liner Hotel before meeting up with Midi's friend for lunch. We then had a walk through Everton...

pumpkinjam I'm glad you're inspired. As I was talking to someone today, they asked how I would fit in additional activities. I'm really not sure at times. I just so things and don't sleep

pumpkinjam @LindaOHio Were you ever on Bubblews? There was an old Bubblews group (Last Bastion) on FB that I was in and you may have been. I'm not sure if you know my real name. If you do, you're welcome to find me on FB if you'd like

pumpkinjam A new home is quite exciting. We had a little snow here. Thankfully, it had mostly cleared before we travelled and didn't affect any of our plans! I'm glad you liked the pictures. I mainly keep photos on Facebook. This week's album contains 504 pictures, I...

I get so annoyed with myself when I get my feelings hurt. So I just try to get over it as quickly as possible. It never does any good to dwell, and at least as an adult your feelings are less likely to be hurt (at least for me)....

pumpkinjam I got my feelings hurt quite recently. I won't go into detail but I did take a while, and rely on other people, to work out that it wasn't my fault. I don't normally dwell on things as I work things out or I don't care enough to think about it. In this case,...

When I was a little kid in California, a teenage girl dropped me, and my leg went through the wall, breaking it (my leg). When I was four, my collarbone was broken in a car accident. A few years later I broke a few toes, but those...

pumpkinjam I don't think I've broken any bones. I may have broken a bone in my toe but never did get it checked. I had an excellent bruise. Considering how clumsy/adventurous/oblivious to danger I am, I have no idea how I've got through life without breaking a bone or...

I’m not talking about people trying to pass off their regular pets off as actual therapy animals on planes. That’s a whole different topic, in my opinion. @NJChicaa mentioned she thought Charlie (I believe it Charlie) would be...

pumpkinjam I think therapy animals have their place where a person has chosen to be part of it. I don't agree with things like having them in public spaces with an assumption that everyone is OK with them. However friendly or trained an animal is, there are people who...

Plastic waste is frequently in the news these days, but when we think of plastic waste we most often think of the obvious things such as food packaging and shopping bags. There is a lot of that of course and some is not necessary...

pumpkinjam I know there are plastics/microplastics in all sorts of things. There are some plastics you'd expect to be recyclable but aren't. I recently drank from a cup that I believed was plastic. It said on it that it would self-destruct if it wasn't recycled. It said...

pumpkinjam I think it has been a few months since I've been here. I remember you telling us about your husband. How have you been? Is there a lot of work to be done? I do intend to stick around but my head is so full that sometimes some things just fall out of it.

pumpkinjam My experience with autism, both professionally and personally, is largely what drew me to the role. The charity was set up a couple of years ago by someone I'd known when our children were little. The charity was set up because of how little real support there...

pumpkinjam We have a bureau/desk that is a family heirloom from my husband's family. Personally, I find it bulky. It's one of those things that looks big and takes up space but isn't particularly practical because you can't fit as much in it as you'd expect. Other than...

There's no need to buy expensive ink; you can print whatever you want as long as you have the right type of printer paper. This is the black and white portable mini printer I'am using since last year, and yes, it prints black and...

pumpkinjam I saw this type of printer for sale and almost bought one for myself. I didn't as I don't need one and I do need to save money! It's a good idea, though. I don't think it would have helped me when I needed to print of a 255 page document. I did that at the...

pumpkinjam It is quite a long post. I do tend to waffle I began in youth theatre. I'd been out of it for a while (it's been a very long time since I was a youth) until I returned to the stage last year! It's only ever been amateur. I had missed it but...
