Do you ever thing that you are loosing your marbles....................

[Ginsing]

you do well join the club. So are we all a little bonkers or just plain mad? In my case I find it is the others who are strange so it probably means I am the one who is getting pottier!

I no longer get out into the real world much so have to make my own here at home. (That implies it is deffinately the others). You see my rules apply. LOL I live down a long drive so I cannot be a nosy neighbour, never get to know the gossip- who is going out with? Oh no really! It is all total rubbish to me..From this rant you will think I want to know what is going on well I admit it would be nice to know when my neighborliness is required. Any one could drive up and steal the contents of the house over the road I would not have a clue! I am not saying that happened but it could.(0)

So is the madness Fibro related or am I just that strange old lady (of course I am neither strange - I do not consider just having turned 58 old- merely entering my second childhood.

I do find the joys of playing with my grand childrens toys absolutely marvelous - bring on the next stage dolls houses and mecano just let me be able to get on and off the floor with comparative ease. (Chuckles madley) I find the lessons learnt at drama school coming back to me and I play the eccentric old bat rather well. hehe

Love to you all xBaty Gins

At 33 i definatly feel like i'm losing it. but i always stay positive when out and about and when i meet people, but i'm lucky i have a 9 year old daughter so i see people all the time plus i manage to walk the dog at times and i go to watch her in her swimming squad and thankfully get to chat to people, but she only started this month before that, i would feel so lonely even tho i have a wonderful man and family, i missed the simple interaction with people as i always work in a job where i interacted with people.

Besides i'd rather be a batty than bitter oh i'm going to be a mischevious old lady when my time comes ( in a nice way).

Shame you don't live near me, could play together lol

It can be very beautiful and I love living here but I am surprisingly remote . I do like seeing the mountains. xgins

[Extremelygrumpy]

Nope I lost mine years ago...... My family accept now mum is the mad woman in the bathroom ... We don't have an attic.... But it's ok I can do what I like cos no one expects me to be normal... Sits on toilet cackling hysterically

VGx

[Ginsing]

I ind he toilet is a brillant zone for cackling to oneself hahahah x gins

[Hidden]

'normal' is really terribly boring don't you think? It is so much more interesting to be considered eccentric and I am very definitely that. The long conversations that I have with my dog every day bear testament to it. Jane x

[Ginsing in reply to Hidden]

Join the club it is better to be a little or a lot eccentric. It mean people have to play by our rules. I talk to my dogs too and myself lol

[Jezobelle]

I prefer to say that my marbles are stored in a safe place...and one day I will remember exactly where that is

[Hidden in reply to Jezobelle]

Love it, same here xx

[Ginsing in reply to Jezobelle]

Do not waste to much time looking for them,,, they usually come when called so if you have tried that borrow some one elses! xgin Happy hunting

[Flips]

Marbles? Are we meant to have marbles??

Oh don't tell me im not meant to talk to plants and animals, are we?

You know sad thing is tho? I went away for the weekend to the coast where I used to live for a friends hen night. It was lovely (but exhausting) but I missed my dogs so much, the kids? NOPE just the dogs lol. They calm me, my kids stress me out most of the time lol. SO I know im going to be one of those eccentric old ladies shouting at humans and having a managery of animals in a vegetable patch with a shed in the middle haha

I know I'm not mad. I got tested lol. They said if you think you are, it's a sure sign you're not. So I think I must be a quirky hermit. My house is my cave. I only know one of my neighbours cos I moved here with this condition, so there's no one who knew me as 'normal'. I find the isolation the very worst part of this condition. In some ways though, if society is anything like Jeremy Kyle, I'm best out of that drama and chaos. Outside my home I can access a community through church parishes etc....if I want to. I have an ME group locally and a 12 step group. I have my family. Beyond that there's FB and these forums. Not exactly what I imagined my 50's would be but quirky hermit ain't so bad
