Re: Living with parents
I still live with my mum at age 45. People often find this hilarious or pathetic or creepy (or a combination of the above).
I'm moving more into a carer's role - mum is needing more support and...

Re: "Ageism" rant
I get fed up reading some of these articles. I think they're written by people trying to be funny or superior (or both) - they have to sneer at someone and there aren't a lot of acceptable targets...

The fact that I can't stop my iphone going off twice for every text that comes in. Waiting for the second ringtone is like a kind of water torture.

Re: What does "Good Sense Of Humour" mean?

I didn't go either - partly because of anxiety and partly because my mum (my only family) didn't want to go either.
