I have a close lady-friend who is a strong Christian, but I don't try to change her views on religion. She is very high strung, scatterbrained, and very disordered with manic-depression. She has a long checklist of requirements, even though her clock is near expiry. She is a very sad, tragic ...

I have left Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and went to Parler and Gab. But now the Democrats are trying to silence anything they don't like.

Jolanta replies on Jan 11, 2021:

@Thomas67 Nonsense. The problem is big business, they dictate what is going on. The way it works is that advertising is what the media make money on. Big business will say to the editor, we will not advertise with you if you keep on telling the truth. We want you to make the good guy look bad. That is how it works.

@Flowerwall Hi there, there is a difference between guaranteed rights and values. How come you are not answering my question?

@Flowerwall interesting you talking about American values. What exactly are American values considering everyone in the US comes from somewhere else unless of course they are native Indians.

Ohferpetessake,you prefer more BS like Tuesday? Fomenting violence, inciting to riot, encouraging sedition, etc have been actual Crimes for just about forever,in every country, including this one, for Obviously good reason!

@Flowerwall Careful there you are starting to sound like a broken record.

It is not against free speech when it is inciting violence. You can't yell fire in a crowded theater when there is no fire as it could cause people to get hurt. Educate yourself on the Constitution.

Jolanta replies on Jan 9, 2021:

@Flowerwall wow you do need help. Seems like you are part of the problem.

Hey, everybody! I thought I'd try something new here.

Jolanta comments on Jan 1, 2021:

Hi there. I am a qualified mediator too but am not working in the field or doing any volunteering there either. I volunteer for the Salvation Army in one of their shops. I have found that it goes a long way when people get together and can talk about what hurt they had to endure in relationships ...

Jolanta replies on Jan 1, 2021:

@resserts My meditation education is completely seperate from the Salvation Army. I do other things for them. People need to be heard and when they are not they get angry, so it is good to have someone impartial who can be there to make sure they all get their turn. Good luck with getting a job in the field.

Jolanta comments on Dec 31, 2020:

Interesting all this. I sometimes ponder about if one is racist if one notices that certain countries citizens do or don't do something or other? For instance, black people are great dancers while a lot of white people have two left feet. If one notices this or thinks so is that being a racist? ...

Jolanta replies on Jan 1, 2021:

@Krish55 I do. There have been very small instances over the years when suddenly I just got it but they have been very fleeting. Probably have to keep on doing it.

You live in Australia? Did you back off when they saw you?

Jolanta replies on Jan 1, 2021:

@Krish55 They do sometimes, but these ones are rather tame, living in the city. I would not approach one somewhere in the country.

I've got a eucalyptus tree in the garden behind my house but I've never heard it bark.

Jolanta replies on Dec 31, 2020:

Yes, I do live in Australia, in Canberra, the Capital, which is called the bush city. We have a lot of green areas where kangaroos roam. I did not back off. They are used to people and just hop off.

Are you posting these from a PC or your phone. You need to rotate your pics. They're all sideways.

Jolanta replies on Dec 29, 2020:

I do rotate them to the right way but when I post they sometimes seem to come up the wrong way. No matter that I have rotated them.

@resserts I get alerts if I am being tagged. I can tell you from experience that there is a quite a bit tagging going around.

I have decided to do another day at the Salvation Army shop.

BudFrank comments on Dec 28, 2020:

Great! I hope you’re taking good precautions. But then, in Australia life is much more back to normal isn’t it?

Jolanta replies on Dec 28, 2020:

Yes it is. I live in Canberra, the Capital and we have only one active covid case and they are in quarantine, so nothing to worry about there. Just about everything is normal, except we have travel restrictions both overseas and in the country as some states have active covid in the community but not so it overwhelms us. You take care.

Yes, sometimes or a lot of times I can only shake my head and wonder if I shall call an ambulance with some nice men who will bring some nice white jackets that do up in the back to take them away.
