Hi, everyone this week we are looking at fear of abandonment and borderline personality disorder.
We all must deal with the death of a loved one or the end of a relationship as loss is a natural part of life. However, people with BPD live in fear of such loses.

They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.
Lest we forget ..read more

So, after going through some stuff, I found this book called Australians Under Fire 1942 and have decoded to use it for my Wednesday posts. We will start with the introduction that is in the book because the start of the book is the best place to start if you don’t want to be all over the damn place, which I do not. As the title says this book is focused mostly on the year 1942.
It seems like the year 1942 was a dark, uncertain, and crucial one for Australia, with several events taking place such as the bombing of Darwin, the battle of the Coral Sea, Milne Bay, Kokoda and El Ala ..read more

They run on their back legs with their body upright and arm by its side. They have been clocked at 8km/h on water and 11km/h on land.
The reason it’s so good on water is its feet, it has big feet with fla ..read more

Well, here we are at another Friday so here is a bit more about Parkinson’s Disease, this week we are looking a bit more at walking with Parkinson’s.
There are a number of very specific and somewhat strange symptoms that can affect one’s walking. The most common would be what is called start hesitancy, this is when someone with Parkinson’s goes to take a step and can’t, this is because the automatic movement of lifting one foot off the ground doesn’t happen. The reason for this seems to be that the disease makes it difficult to induce the reflex reaction to shift the centr ..read more

In local council elections, voters elect representatives to councils across NSW. Each  ..read more
