Haha @Palustris I torture myself over this dilemma all of the time. I've cut back massively on meat but diary is the thing that gets me. I try to always get free range and organic but that's probably as far as I'll go....I'm too weak!
@Dovefromabove Enjoy!! It's definitely coming up to the season to start having roast dinners again.
I still haven't found an article about compulsive starting of a ridiculously large amount of threads on an internet forum. Not worth my time or effort to do so. 15 threads in August alone.
@jamessayersbrown I like you, but somehow you've managed to weedle your way into the clique and be accepted. Congratulations! I'm 30 years too young for that. I suspect probably you are too but you've managed it with your skills! Nice one!
Although actually I don't want to be accepted by any fogeys. I am just here because I like gardening and I like plants. Gardening does wonders for mental health. People do not.
Am i in? @Treeface I'm not quite sure of the meaning of your question.
As i've said on another thread,i dip in and out of this forum.
I've been on many forums where bullying and cliques have had devastating effects on peoples mental health.I come on here to pick up gardening tips/advice and not necessarily join in group discussions,though i will and do add the odd comment here and there.
I love B and her threads. She brings wonderful questions, openness and humour to the forum. It would be drier without her.
Accusations of cliqueyness do get thrown around from time to time. I remember @Dovefromabove being called 'The Crow From Below" which still makes me chortle years later. There is a wide assortment of people who are into all sorts of things, all sorts of politics, all sorts of gardening. They seem to rub along pretty well together. The insights of the forum are incredible resource - free and knowledgable. I have built my gardens largely from the help given here. I admit to getting wildly over-enthusistic at times. I have friends I have made here over the years. It seems like a good place to be - offering a gentle fellowship.
Thank you @Fire. I was wondering if I was becoming a bit of a bore. When I do mindless tasks like weeding, I wonder about life and stuff and everything... I ask and get the answers. I know I could trawl the internet, but I prefer the connection that we get in this forum.
