Dr. Gottman created an exercise titled "Who am I?" to guide couples through self-exploration and to help them share this exploration with each other.

Questions include:

What has happened in your life that you are particularly proud of?
How was affection expressed in your family?
What would you most like to change about yourself?

There's always more to know about each other. Sharing your inner self with your partner is an ongoing process.

In fact, it's a lifelong process.

Dream result AB-Lions?

Michael from Pinehaven

Had a one-off dream several years ago when the Lions were touring Australia. I dreamt that the final score of the Lions V Force would be (from memory) 69-17 in favour of the touring Lions (or whatever the score actually was). So I won some money through the TAB.

Had a one-off dream several years ago when the Lions were touring Australia. I dreamt that the final score of the Lions V Force would be (from memory) 69-17 in favour of the touring Lions (or whatever the score actually was). So I won some money through the TAB.
So last evening whilst looking at a sports channel on tv I closed my eyes and thought of the ABs-Lions first test and the score of 14-33 lit up.

Is that going to be tonight's result? It wasn't a dream - just something that became visual in my mind with my eyes closed.

I can't say who was the winner. I hope like hell it's the ABs. But here is the thing - the first score was 14 and being a home game for the ABs, their score comes up first (from left to right)?????????

Chieko from Stokes Valley

One of the threads is coming off on one side and it looks a bit knackerd but as a single matress it's still usable. Not a great condition.

Just wandering, if there are any people in the area capable of preserving? Making jams? Or anything Using
Plums, apples, pears, feijoa's, Nashi Pears,?
I've just seen a Facebook post in the Marton page,
a person gave her crab apples to a group called 'creative courtyard' they in turn made crab apple jelly (the crossed out part in this picture is her name)
Gave her two jars and shared the rest.
The fruit mentioned above I have these trees in my back yard, i use what I can but don't always make the most of the generous fruit the garden provides.
Would be fantastic if there was a similar set up here, I would freely give off my trees with the hope of having a few jars as payment.
Something to consider.🤔
