COMMUNITY​


-the condition of sharing or having certain attitudes and interests in common- The Dictionary

View attachment 43801

-Having a place that one belongs to and somewhere one can feel included- My personal interpretation

This forum means a lot of different things to a lot of different people.
And we all have our reasons for logging on each day.

But no matter those reasons. One thing I hope everyone can agree on is that this is a community, of different individuals from different countries, walks of life, ages, believes, ideas and identities, but above all a place that is always welcoming to all

And we have everything you could possibly ask for

  • We have compassionate members
  • We have storytellers
  • We have those that make us laugh
  • Those that listen
  • Some that sing (check out the lonely thread )
  • We have the supporters
  • The carers
  • And let's not forget the wise
  • We have members with all of life's experiences
  • And members that are just starting out
  • And we have friends
  • Leaders
  • And those we are still getting to know

So I only have one task from everyone today.

Choose two people each, someone that means a lot to you helped you through a difficult time, made you laugh, feel important or just listened and leave them a hug or a message if you prefer.

And if you want a hug or a nice message and you have not got one yet. Just say hey and I'm sure one will be along soon enough

Secondly, send a hug to someone that maybe you haven't directly spoken to before but seen around. Could be a message instead up to you. Let them know they have been seen.

And I know some people are shy so I am giving a few ideas you can use for messages.

  • I love your posts around the forum
  • Thank you for always making me laugh
  • (insert name) I hope you are having a beautiful day today
  • You always make me smile
  • Or maybe just a how are you.

I hope that's not a stupid idea.

And one question for everyone.

You can make a dessert choosing only five ingredients what would those ingredients be.

To demonstrate I will go first

@Citizen Insane , thank you for always making me laugh

@Lux , I am obsessed with your stories, I still remember Gary, I often retell them to my sisters or anyone else who will listen.

Five ingredients for my ultimate dessert.

  1. Pancakes
  2. Cinnamon
  3. Marshmallows
  4. Bubblegum ice cream
  5. With licorice all sorts
Weird I know.

And thank you again for allowing me this opportunity to open the Cafe once again.

I sent my awkward thanks to two people on this forum, and an awkward sort of greeting to you. Well, I rarely write anything on anyone's profile.

Hugs are rare. Kisses, as well. Somehow, I feel uncomfortable seeing both on screen and in real life, probably because I cannot even remember the last time I've received any of both.

Five ingredients for Matcha Latte (one of my favorite dessert):
  • Matcha powder (grinded dry tea leaves)
  • Honey (or sugar)
  • Whole milk (or almond milk)
  • Vanilla extract (or vanilla paste, to be honest I've never touched a vanilla bean or fruit before)
  • Cream cheese (or heavy cream)

Tysm for the tags @Harrow & @Road to Nowhere :) Thanks for opening the cafe today Harrow and cool idea for a theme.

I am not comfortable singling any 1 or 2 members out because I know how painful it is to have almost never been one of the ones singled out myself. I don't want to cause anyone else that same kind of painful rejection feeling. But I will send a more general positive/supportive message to all the members of this forum by saying:

Thank you all for being so strong, inspiring and awesome in your own unique ways :)
- Those who've opened cafes and helped the members here be social and get to know more about each other through question answering
- Those who post threads of encouragement/support
- Those who reply in the "How are you feeling today?" thread to give comfort to those who are feeling upset about something
- So many other kind gestures of caring and compassion all over the forum.
So many wonderful members here (esp. the regulars) contribute in so many ways by doing what they can to spread positivity, support, comfort, understanding, compassion and so many other kind actions to others. You are all equally, infinitely worthy so please never doubt that to be true :)
I will take some inspiration from one of your suggestions (Harrow) too by saying I hope you are all having a wonderful day :) *hug*grouphug2

You can make a dessert choosing only five ingredients what would those ingredients be.
1. Ice cream
2. Chocolate
3. Peanut butter
4. Peanuts
5. Caramel
(Basically the recipe for the ice cream cakes we sometimes make, they are really yummy) :) ;)

Thank you for opening Cafe today @Harrow and tagging me @Road to Nowhere .

Members have offered a hug or kind word. Some I've gotten to know over the years and even had the privilege to meet IRL. The moderators and members are all terrific. I'd like to give a shout out to Jim, who started this all for us. He'd be pleased I'm sure to see how it brings us comradary and to me a daily check-in if possible. tenor (3).gif

As with others around here, I won't be tagging members as seclusion could lead to disillusion.

You can make a dessert choosing only five ingredients what would those ingredients be.

Far as I'm concerned, the 5 things needd for a banging dessert are :
1. Plate
2. Bowl
3.Assorted cutlery (gold plated an option)
4. Napkin
5. A shit hot Michelin rated pastry chef armed with a fully stocked and working kitchen.

Although as an alternative, the following desert would require only two ingredients:

1. Glass of fine cognac
2. Top quality cigar
