    • Relax.
    Because it's tradition! So bl...y what? I am married to a Pinay for 30+ years and she has not failed one year! And...?? When still living abroad, our greengrocer was aware and made a large basket with as many different round fruits for us as he could find (some years over 20!). He was happy, and (more importantly) she was happy. Strange? Maybe, but no more strange than slaughtering a whole bunch of turkeys for a particular day because that's allegedly tradition...

    Paddy's is my haven. Ha. Will check city mall out. I hate going out there too much traffic. But if it's worth the travel to the other side of the city, might as well try.

    Bet you my @ss they're going to have a second lockdown here too seeing the massive influx of humans in Dumaguete these days. Wearing thin cloth masks and face shields they immediately remove once inside an establishment (like Lee Plaza) and not implementing social distancing. Does anyone know if there's a nearer grocery store in Bacong that sells basic necessities and imported products so I don't have to drive and deal with the crowd?

    I heard that the UK is now on strict lockdown due to the newly Covid train found there. Is it true? I wish it's not. If the lockdown gives you stress, Try this article that I recently found. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/managing-stress-anxiety.html I hope it helps, Keep safe! :smile:

    Geeeze I hope I dont give birth........... :arghh:

    Actually been busy thinking of the future or more so planning for it. Been selling off a lot of stuff ready for when we can get on a plane safe.

    Just sold a property that the ex and I owned finishing of that episode in my life. Also my Harley just went, first time since I was 19 years old that I haven't owned a Harley.

    Im sure a fair few of you have gone through that process, its rather cleansing getting rid of everything.

    Someone, or some, may disagree with me, but is it not a good thing to project (or 'skip') into the future - by which I mean to imagine being one those trips at some future time. This is not the same as 'missing' something now but is accepting (a useful concept) that it is available in time.

    As an example, my niece was scared of delivering her baby - I suggested she stopped focusing on the birth but instead projected her thinking into the future and imagined the times she will be with the child, playing on swings, going for walks, swimming (anything that could be a fun future activity). It seemed to help her - she said!

    If you start thinking of being in some exotic place and are giving birth then I have confused you! :smile:

    I don't think there's a rating emoji for that, but here's one that might sum up your comment. Not intended as a negative, as your thing is your thing. :taunting:

    No. Working out, learning new skills and finding stuff to do with minimal contact with others has me feeling better than I ever have. I think that last one has been the biggest positive for me; I now have an excuse to look disgusted at handshakes and at expats invading my personal space to share their boring stories/personal drama and ask me the same questions that I've already heard/been asked a thousand times.
