1. What a absolutely lovely bunch of people you are. Your antics, fur babies and positive, spiritual, technical, medical, kind advice, love and support here - (which you give freely and unselfishly to all) has literally saved my sanity, soul and self. So a very big thank you to you all(other sites can be cruel, mean and patronising - must be all their pharma sponsors and ulterior motives ) you should all be very proud of yourselves Very
2. Secondly, I had to rehome my house cat and was heartbroken...I’m sure contributing to my depression.. so I took all of your advices and adapted and accepted
This took the form of making a few garden snails into pets.
I expected to keep them for a few days, but then I discovered just how fun and relaxing they were to watch; with their own unique personalities and characters.
A lovely lady recommended (hidden?) that I distract my self with creative endeavour, so I have spent the last few days setting up a YouTube channel for them; and feel a lot better for doing so.
The analogy is not lost on me - snails are considered pests and revolt most people.(it’s how I feel about myself and my useless body most of the time) But I have found such comfort in them and their funny ways - slow, leggless and pointless - they have nevertheless delighted and surprised me at every turn
To my utmost delight; I found that they had laid eggs (I was at my lowest point at the time). I also asked you guys for some advice, and a rubbish day became a bearable one because you were all so kind, supportive and understanding to me.
So I wanted to give you and them my utmost thanks, love and respect; and not hide said love any more (for you guys and the snails).
Unfortunately I could not open the video, but I am so pleased that you have found comfort in something. Thank you so much for sharing. Can you post a picture of your snails? Have you named them? Blessings Jimeka 🤗 🐌
(but in my haste to defend myself, I cut and pasted it wrongly..( .Having the shakes, poor eyesight etc doesn’t doesn’t help…)
Thank you for your kind comments!
I think that there’s copyright issues on the ole u tube and I’m not very tech savvy, and I feel they love the music... (even though snails are allegedly deaf lol I think they still pick up the vibrations?!)
Music is the food of love and my panacea; well it certainly seem so, judging by the amount of eggs they have laid! (And the fact I’m still alive lol)
I will try another, with less music!
Yes, I have posted this on three sites, because I read up and have been comforted by the people on MSAA (because I am secondary progressive MS) ataxia (because I also have cerebellum ataxia) and Multiple system atrophy (because I may have this)
All three have helped me very much.
Is this a problem and if so, why? As I understand it spam is “unsolicited junk email sent indiscriminately in bulk, often for commercial purpose”
This isn’t junk, it’s not been sent indiscriminately and there is no commercial purpose, but thanks for raining on my parade
i couldn't get it to open ...if this is something that gives you comfort and happiness ...no one is to judge you for it ...you can do what makes you happy ...take care ..be safe...love and happiness...
This is definitely the best group ever! I've greatly appreciated all the advice I've received from everyone here. Plus I get to vicariously enjoy everyone's pets in all their forms. Dogs, cats, horses, and now snails too.
