    @Sister  Hubby got bitten by a large centipede in the never never regions.  Oh my god did he howl.  Very painful.

    If you'd asked me when I started this thread what the off topic tangent would be, never in a million years would I have guessed centipedes! Love it! Keep it up you guys! :D<3

    See @kmakm - you're laughing.  Self-care 101.

    That is exactly why I will not watch news on TV unless it's about an important cyclone message, then I have to. All the killing, drugs, violence, politics. No thanks!

    I get that @Brenda5

    While I'm not totally without empathy, I've reached the point that being constantly bombarded by bad news and stories that suggest humanity is doomed does my head in. I look at the news online so I have a broad idea of what is going on, but I don't need to know all the gruesome details. If it doesn't affect me directly, I really don't want to know.
    I used to get really wound up about politics and people doing shitty things and maybe I might reinvolve myself at some point in the future. For now, Im sticking my head in the sand. Mxx

    It's possibly a good idea even if you do get wound up in politics! I normally get pretty involved in the doings of the world but lately the degree of the inexplicably bizarre or unspeakably bad is getting too great.

    Agree!
    I love to catch up on daily events however sometimes I feel that a headline story, that the media decides we all need to know over and over, dominates.  Other stories are missed by me and possibly the media, as all the time is spent constantly repeating the headline story of the day.  
    Media don't seem to follow up on some stories and just move to the next headline and bang it at us again!

    It does my head in!

    Oh dear - have just discovered this thread as have been distracted by my own domestic turmoil.Wished I’d found it earlier- being 65 with twin 18 year old boys (yep menopause twins) has been hard this past year and  my friends  tend to be well past this stage into grand parenthood .It has been so helpful to know it’s not just me.
