I sincerely hope personalities are the focus of this election, because Labour has a genuine good guy and the Conservatives have such a terrible one.

I will email you and send you my number, hopefully we can speak very soon. Going back to the old AOL boards, I smile at the memory of the friends we made and the laughs we had. As a single mum and a loner in so many ways, I was grateful for the company of those who were similarly addicted. I used to spend untold hours chatting to my old lifelong pal, Big Lynn, on the phone, and when she passed, there was a huge void. I no longer had anyone to confide in, now it has turned into a blog, lol. When you write, you always have someone to talk to. <br /><br />I shouldn't worry about the email thing, I have always laughed off the 'danger' or 'threat' of trolls. But do you know what, as controversial, and oft hated, as I have been online, I have never received anything I would consider frightening or disgusting. I am hoping it is because I come across as a 'ladeeee', and they can find a million other ways to insult me, ha ha. I was once told off by the head of the Secretarial college, I had been reported for being mean to one of her students. My plea that most of them towered over me and I only asked them to read a newspaper, was rebuffed with the claim that I was a 'formidable woman' who frightened the bejesus out of them. Ok, she didn't say bejesus, but she definitely said 'formidable woman'. I actually came away feeling elated! I finally reached the goal I aspired to - I was Margaret Rutherford! ha ha.<br /><br />I jest of course Jo, though the stories are quite true. I'd be Margaret Rutherford, if she had a platinum beehive and killer false eyelashes! To be fair, I am heading more in the direction of Barbara Cartland, though I don't have the luxury of a chaise longue, a secretary and a half naked male masseur feeding me grapes. Actually, I made up the last bit, but the former is correct - that secretary was a good friend of mine. <br /><br />So lovely to hear from you Jo, but such sorrow you are going through. Do know that I am your friend always, and your grief is my grief. My kindest wishes to you, and I will now write down your email - seeing through my false eyelashes is somewhat of an impediment, ha ha, but I will speak to you anon. Much love to you and yours too Jo xxxRosalinda Huttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01497239700092619580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834822786084044829.post-37295858173971140072019-12-01T19:15:03.878+00:002019-12-01T19:15:03.878+00:00Hi Jo, yes of course I remember you, and the many ...Hi Jo, yes of course I remember you, and the many hours, days, weeks, years lol, that we all spent on the AOL boards. First the Europe Board then Pennystocks if I remember rightly. I am not sure I look back on it as a huge waste of time. For me, and I am sure all of us, it was a huge learning curve, it certainly opened my eyes up to the darker side of human nature. <br /><br />I think of it as a strange, surreal time, a sort of group addiction, as bad as the rows got, we just couldn't resist them. Tis true I got a buzz from it and I also got a kick out of enlightening those on the far right. But putting the nasty weird behaviour of some aside for one moment, there were multiple times I found myself laughing out loud at some of the great 'wits' on there. The young mum with twin boys is one who comes to mind, and of course Sherrybabe (?).<br /><br />There was also a huge sense of friendship, in that you could log onto the board at any time day or night and there would be someone to chat to, or argue with. And of course occasions where each side would lay down their 'arms' and differences to mourn or come together for our terrific, masked balls. They were an absolute hoot, I am a great fan of bitchy humour, and on those nights, we all released our inner bitches ha ha. We had a few men too as I remember, but they were usually trampled underfoot on our 'ball' nights, as we fought over our cyber topless waiters! On the regrets front, I tend to look on anything that amused me or kept me occupied, as a good thing. I once told a psychiatrist about my addiction to the chat rooms, but he literally laughed and said that is a good thing. In the deepest depressions we have no interest in anything. He also told me to think of it as being this century's equivalent of chatting over the garden fence - we are human, it's what we do. <br /><br />I hear you Jo, who on earth is voting for this greedy, self serving, privileged elite, and why? Maybe Sallysons, lol. I helped with the campaigning at the last election, but it was soul destroying. Handing out Labour leaflets, the number of ordinary people and even disabled people, cussing Jeremy Corbyn was frightening. Basically, those being tormented by ATOS will vote for more of the same because JC is 'anti-Semitic. Goebbels would be proud that this massive lie has spread so far and wide. The tories, with the aid of the BBC have smeared the working class saviour as a danger to their futures and an anti-Semite. How do they get away with these lies? They just keep repeating them. <br /><br />Rosalinda Huttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01497239700092619580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834822786084044829.post-74673171243509091582019-12-01T13:43:28.655+00:002019-12-01T13:43:28.655+00:00Hello Ros!

I look back now, and think, how the hell could I have been so STUPID as to waste so many days, weeks, months etc., allowing myself to be abused and bullied - what an idiot lol!<br />I love reading your posts, and I agree with everything you say! How ANYONE with any compassion or caring for their fellow man, can vote for that despicable party is beyond me!<br />I do hope all is well with you?<br />It has been a bugga of a year for me. My son died suddenly on 9th January, he was 41 years old, what a shock that was!<br />It would be lovely to hear from you and catch up on all your news!<br />My email is jv.lancaster@ntlworld.com<br />Maybe I shouldn't post that here, but if I get unwanted emails, I'll just delete them, it would be so good to hear from you!<br />Much love to you and yours xxxxJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10158093742938387708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834822786084044829.post-85267410593317571512019-12-01T11:36:01.955+00:002019-12-01T11:36:01.955+00:00Thank you for putting me right, lol.
Yes I know...Thank you for putting me right, lol. <br /><br />Yes I know we vote for a party, but this particular GE, like it or not, is very much about the character and personalities of the parties' leaders. Jeremy Corbyn who has always been on the right side of history, and Boris Johnson with a history of racism, lies and duplicity. It's the thriller in Manila, the rumble in the jungle, two heavyweights facing each other in the ring.<br /><br />There are many good Labour politicians who support the ending of austerity and mass investment in our infrastructure and public services, but there remain a few snakes (Blairites) who have moved from the middle to the right. Politicians like Jess Philips, who would happily stab Jeremy Corbyn in the front and pal up with Jacob Rees-Mogg.<br /><br />But that criticism was especially pedantic and doesn't address any of the issues I raised. Are you against Jeremy Corbyn's New Deal or for it? I couldn't tell.Rosalinda Huttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01497239700092619580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834822786084044829.post-70133095450530335682019-12-01T11:04:23.111+00:002019-12-01T11:04:23.111+00:00"JEREMY CORBYN'S NEW DEAL"
