Two truths and a lie

Roxade profile image
14 Replies

Up until now, the only thing that got me nervous was when my little girls went out for the night, and of naturally, right before I say Worcestershire sauce. But everything's changed.

Been diagnosed with COPD (truth), had to quit smoking (truth), telling everyone around me "I'm fine, it's all good, got it under control" (lie).

So here I am. Where I can be myself for just a little while...

Thank you :)

It won't be a lie for long, not now you've found 'us lot' - you'll soon be having a chuckle and feeling better for it. And there's an added bonus, you can get all manner of information about COPD, as well as having a bit of a moan, or even a rant whenever you feel like it. Oh yes - and Jennifer does wonderful birthday cakes for everyone's birthdays. Welcome!

They're virtual birthday cakes but we still drool over them - and argue a bit over who's being greedy. Jennifer 'posts' them every Tuesday - take a look, you'll see why we drool.😛😊.

Welcome Roxade I was lucky enough to visit your beautiful country a few years back.

It's a beautiful country yes. It's just extremely dangerous.

That I think is the only reason I couldnt live there. Such beautiful houses and yet all hidden behind 12 foot fences. We visited Cape Town, Durban, Drakensburg Mountains and Kruger Park not forgetting Jo burg.

Apologies - that should read Roxade, not '"to fade" - hate autocorrect.
