Isn't it just. Good night Sweetpeasue.

Sweetpeasue Fri 23-Sept-22 22:39:14

Not been able to say that all mylife

Sweetpeasue Fri 23-Sept-22 22:38:47

I'm finally able to say what I think

DaisyAnne Fri 23-Sept-22 22:38:28

But what does BD stand for? I've never heard of it or them or whatever.

Enlighten you intelligent people. Especially you Daisy. It stands for Black Dog. Depression. MH issues. I wouldn't have expected you to read it

Sweetpeasue Fri 23-Sept-22 22:36:23

OMG DAISY! They're what's known as kind sensitive people on BD

DaisyAnne Fri 23-Sept-22 22:33:57

What is BD Forum Sweetpeasue. You've lost me.

I came on GN and it was first time I've been on a social media forum
Some of you should have the kindness of those on BD and many other forums. People who darent come on here. Perhaps you might get wider debate about things. Nothing is Black and White.

The N & P section is sometimes tough but the other forums are usually OK. People on N & P have strong views, often expressed forcefully - because they do care. But the same people on other forums are often kind and gentle.

My posts will probs be deleted. Rang Crisis tonight but please carry on!

Sweetpeasue Fri 23-Sept-22 22:20:47

GSM if you're out there please help me

Sweetpeasue Fri 23-Sept-22 22:19:34

Thank you Rivetwalk. But probs not intelligent enough

DaisyAnne Fri 23-Sept-22 22:18:39

Back to the budget. The news is certainly interesting tonight. It still sounds as if they are treading very softly around the government.

Sweetpeasue Fri 23-Sept-22 22:18:37

Oh Growstuff so true!

So you can afford The Gaurdian.! Good luck to you. I used to have to read it too for A level at college. Very interesting articles. I'm a Labour person. Can't afford to read that though.

Just to say that you can read The Guardian online free of charge

Just 1 more thing. Once heard it mentioned (not sure the poster) that there was a question of' uneducated'
people having the vote. Was def on a political thread. Well the so called educated who goven our country have done a great job haven't they? Ha

Being educated is not the same as having decent, humane values or empathy with others.

Sweetpeasue Fri 23-Sept-22 22:04:09

If I hadn't just been a housewife who had MH issues I too might have had an education and could hold my own on this thread. But second thoughts. I'm too kind to hurt others!

Sweetpeasue Fri 23-Sept-22 22:02:02

Wonder if all the suffragettes had an 'Education!

Sweetpeasue Fri 23-Sept-22 22:01:18

Joe Bloggs might not be as stupid or uninformed as that poster might think

Taken medication. I will calm down.

Sweetpeasue Fri 23-Sept-22 21:55:43

Andade an utter fool of myself

Sweetpeasue Fri 23-Sept-22 21:55:11

I haven't a clue what I'm writing here. Not drunk just obviously very fraught and stupid

So sorry I tried to quote Daisy Anne.
I shouldn't be on here tonight. I'm all over the place. Why do I care about what people think of me so much! I'm a wreck.

Please don’t worry about it Sweetpeasue, it’s not personal, and don’t be put off Gransnet because your post was misinterpreted. We don’t all agree with each other, but some of the replies were harsher than necessary.
