Apathy

I like the honesty of this highhat

Thanks Insert ;)

Brilliant; i know that feeling all to well.
Keep up the good work
;)

Thanks a lot for the empathy darkenwolf ;) just so fine. You are certainly spurring me on to greater things ha ha ;D

mush! mush! giddyup!

Don't give her a bad conscience ;) Today may be a better day for her. Maybe it was an off day? Age takes its toll on everyone ;/

I got the comments mixed up but leave this one standing ;)

maybe i'm pusing you too hard; is the strain starting to tell? ;D

Yes my right arm hurts ;) This is turning into a regular chat session ;D

i noticed; its all your fault though - thats my story and i'm sticking to it.
;}

My fault- you wrote the story and got the blasted cherries. I didn't!;)

well it isn't like i stole them - they were given after all ;}

Aw I saw you at the editor's desk looking in the fruitbowl- come on admit it- my nails need cleaning- bye bye and every time I hit "track" it counts for reads on my own story- not sooo good !

shhhh!!! don't tell everyone! They'll start a lynch mob - you wouldn't do that to me would you?
Is that the secret then? ;D

That is the secret- my secret of course. we will have to blow the whistle when we are about to hit the 10 most read mark though- ha ha ;) your stories as well- equality here ;D maybe I should give a new piece a chance ?

Plump the figures first, if anyone asks we'll say we didn't realise,err that it wasn't us it was all our relatives using our computer. No honestly i come from a big family. Do you think they'll believe about five thousand?
;}
Write your piece though, looking forward to it.

My family is huge if you include all the dogs and cats and guinea pigs and I think there is a farmer somewhere. . . err ;) I will now write. . .
a piece
chocolate is a vegetables as well !

a piece of what? Chocolate? that would be something to see. I think there's a few horses in my family. They certainly look like horses anyway.
And while we're at it what's a vegetable?
;}

A vegetable has it's root in Mother Nature. That is it regenerates during the winter- ie the roots grow. But chocolates come from the cocao bush and it has roots in the earth ergo chocolate is a vegatable. there is also milk in chocolate- milk provides you with calcium ergo chocolate is very healthy.
a few cows in my family- maybe even a bull- I think they call him Fred.
;)

Not entirely sure but i think your logic is a bit shaky on the chocolate issue. No bulls in my family but there are a couple of goats...
;}

my logic is very very shaky when it comes to chocolate
;D
I milked a goat-have you tried that?- we drank the milk while it was warm and it tasted so awful we put freshly picked rasberries in it and tried to make a goat milkshake- so I guess there are a few goats in my family as well- I think I'll open a zoo and let my sister take the entrance fee ;0
Oh I forgot my uncle was a kangaroo- bet you don't have kangaroos in your family and snakes?

A goat milkshake? i have this picture of you shaking the goat up and down to get it frothy. Never milked anything in my life; the closest i've come is opening a bottle. definitely no kangaroos but there are a couple of particularly venomous snakes; we don't have much to do with them though - they lower the tone...:D
My family's a veritable menagerie.
Isn't everybody's logic shaky when it comes to chocolate...? And vodka of course.
;}

had as much fun reading the comments! goat milk is ok with loads suger in :/ ii know chocolate is cocoa'bean' except what makes cat or dog choccies? hmmm... anyway sorry, was a very good story, I know the feeling and it sounds close to giving up, incase this is real life, she needs a ray of hope shocking enough to get through despair & knitting can be depressive when you get like that, it like saying ok am old now. K

I think this is a bit of an age thing as well Kahdai- just a bad day I think. Happy to tell you that every day is not like this for her.
Thank you for your comment
pia ;)

good! every1s allowed bad days ;)

It really helped her putting it down in words! Life usually treats her very fairly. The sun is a sort of miracle cure. The rain on end gets anybody down ;)

Am always too cold yet am sure, if ii moved somwhere hot, ii would miss all the rain! I think to put sad times in words helps a lot, sortof explains myself & then Ii understand.

exactly and then you move on . . .

yep :)

Hi Pia,
Just finished reading your piece, I am so amused by
your twoing and froing back and fourth with Darkenwolf. Just had to say, I completely know what
you mean about apathy, it can take a hold so easily.
It's a real battle everyday, but I find just
getting on with it, is the best idea.
Jenny.

The battle IS an age thing- that much I have experienced- at least for me- but I usually get on with it too- just have some off days now and again. Too bad- you learn to get through those days and for a while now it has been up times, luckily. That's why I have joy bugs. In answer to you comment - yes I am from Denmark- Pia is actually a very Nordic name even though it origianlly stems from Italy I think. Yes darkenwolf and I had a fun ping pong there- try and see the blog Louise and I have opened now if you go to the poem "Candle Wax"- you can come along as well- would be great fun if you felt like joining ;D
love, peace and happiness to you
pia;)
