Is society full of wimps?

It says that heavy snow is forecast. These decisions aren't taken lightly, and schools have a safeguarding duty.

But I suspect this is just an attempt to spark a conversation about 'woke' and as such will have no interest in reality 

I can't be bothered with this place any longer.

Pegg, I sincerely hope that you don't leave.

There are occasions when I feel irked by some of the things I read on the forums. I know that I especially don't like it when discussions get heated, and neither side is willing to back down. That's usually when I feel the need to take some time away from the forums, otherwise it just drags my mood down.

For what it's worth, I'm not so sure that it had been Robert124's intention to spark a conversation about 'woke', or at least that's not how I had interpreted his post.

That's not how I interpreted it. When Pegg mentioned leaving this place, I took it to mean NAS.

That's kind of you to say ISperg.

I can't make any promises, but I'll try to keep doing what I do as and when I feel able to.

I thought she meant leaving the Country altogether.

I've always thought you post with your head screwed on right. Please keep doing what you do. 

Stay strong, both of you.

Number, I don't consider myself to be a 'genius contributor' with 'sage advice', but I'm touched if that is what you think. If I feel I can contribute to these forums in some way, then I just cross my fingers and hope I can express myself in a way that doesn't result in ruffling feathers.

I hope a spell of hibernation will greatly help to lift your mood. I also hope that when you return, the atmosphere of this place will have drastically improved.

Debbie's departure has been a "thing" for me also. Her presence on the forums is greatly missed.

Sparkly, you are always a genius contributor, who often helps me with timely sage advice.

I will bid all a warm farewell of a while......my mood and productivity has diminished GREATLY in recent days.....and I think that is, in no small part......to the morass I see developing here.....and the loss of Debbie has been a "thing" for me.

As a wise, wise lady once said (I believe it became a Vine, or a meme) "Ain't nobody got time for 'dat sheet"

I'll be back, but I need a recharge and to re-centre myself in my real world of real people and real things and the real calm that I maintain fastidiously, for my own sense of well being and usefulness.

See y'all on the flip side.
