romance scam series on Netflix love rats

I watched this show with compassion and empathy as much as I could.

I’ve been in love before and the feelings I felt were VERY intense and felt the other person loved me. It was a really enjoyable time of my life. It lasted for almost three years, so it was significant.

But no matter how much I love someone (family or significant other), I would never give anyone thousands of pounds.

The most I’ve ever given anyone was $550 and this person was a friend, not a lover. But today I would not give money to other people.

Feelings are not facts.

My feelings can be stirred as much by imagined as by real causes. Feelings are an emotional reaction to a thought, belief, or perception of a factual situation. By definition they are not facts. (Grow-Mental Health 12 step program).

This is the part of the TV program that really upset me. These people (men and women) were going by their feelings only. They really had no objectiveness about what they were doing.

When it comes to romance behaviors, I have always been very suspicious of romance behaviors. A lot of the time the person doing the romancing, are doing it to try and control another person or to get something from that person.

If someone does something kind towards another without any strings attached, I am more than happy for that to happen. My ex would buy me a bag of chocolate honeycombe. This was a caring and welcome act.

The only thing I felt controlled by, was the sex. The sex was really good, and this had strong effect on me. So, I really lost my objectivity around the sexual part of our relationship.

I’ve been scammed before. YouTube ads worked on me, and I bought things that didn’t work, or they weren’t what they were saying. I felt stupid when it happened.

The people on the TV show hand over a lot of money to these romance scammers. They all said: “well, I love you, so I must trust you”. I understood what they were saying but it didn’t add up. 2 plus 2 is not 22.

For me my feelings can be very intense, but these feelings they are never facts. The feelings will pass eventually.

Feelings are like the weather. They are, in fact, a sort of internal weather. I just have to go on living through its changes as I do with the weather outside – and the bad weather can’t last. (Grow-Mental Health 12 step program).

it’s official…I now have chronic wrist pain.

When I was 16, I had a motorbike accident. Right shoulder, both wrists and both knees were affected.

In my mid to late 20s I started getting shoulder pain and wrist pain when working out. At the time I was also a ballroom dance teacher so had even more pressure on my right wrist, so the pain got worse.

Going to the gym was always a problem for me as the wrist would cop a lot of pressure from weightlifting. Anyway, I over the years the pain has come and gone but now it is here to stay!

Living with chronic pain wears me down emotionally, even though it’s early days with the pain being there all the time.

At the moment I’m working on using my left arm as much as possible. This helps so much.

My Aunt has been living with pain most of her adult life and I’ve learnt a lot from her.

SEVERANCE

If you haven’t seen Severance yet, please do so immediately.

I saw it on DVD.

It’s a bit slow in that it’s difficult to know what’s going on, but it’s worth it by the last episode of season 1.

I also have a copy of the Severance – The Lexington Letter for you for free.

Brilliant writing and filming of this amazing show. Can’t wait for season 2.

please bring back the bush (or trimmed)

I know the history of why this happened…porn is watched by billions of people and in porn movies the women have no pubic hair. This trend then caught on and women around the world started to shave/wax down there.

I used to have a friend (in his 70’s) who would say: “no feathers, no fu#k!” and I must agree with him. Not that I’m sexually active, but I really want women to have a natural bush. One that is healthy and ordinary.

What do you think?
