You're welcome 😊 I always enjoy your writing

This is the second time I'm seeing something on this idea of women over 50 becoming invisible. I can understand it to a point, especially as it's the time of life where we go through so many changes, both

I totally agree with your take on this. I don't think women over 50 become invisible at all, but they do reach a point where they can interact with others without that worry that they are interested in

The thresholds for the levels has gone up quite a bit! When I turned dolphin it was just above the 5000 HP mark. I know it doesn't go on HP but shares of sorts, so does that mean the HP goalposts will

Over time mum has mentioned things to me that I've often wondered if she was testing my reactions on. Things that many would be judgemental about. When mum was having her more major episode when I was
