Getting back to Bridges dilemma with friend......aversion therapy is not be under rated. am experiencing the very sad results of chronic alcoholism in my day to day work. It is creating havoc and such dreadful misery with the folk who live at this supported accomodation. Three days a week I get the horrid images imprinted on my soul of where this problem leads so many people and I thank god I am not one of the poor buggers. Grateful to have found my way out

Well, have a great day everyone.

Hi Missy.... Oh, I'm so sorry. What with boots for Techie and two Teddies plus my ski boots, there's hardly room for me!! I won't be meeting with Sarge as we don't really know each other..... and I'm too undisciplined for him... he'd chew my head off. But if he reads this and wants to meet, that would be great. Problem is I'm only in NY 3 days.

No bloody way Tawn, I hate those ridiculous whiter than white choppers gack gack gack. Work is challenging and my craft is being perfected by the minute. I am thinking a bit long term here, but I might introduce some of the residents to MWO.....will take my time with that though. Lucy is phoning twice daily and talking down the phone...too cute for words, so glad I brought her home

Build up the static hold for 2 mins each sit. Follow by stretches to thighs, bum etc.

Hi Sapph,


TWO WHOLE MINUTES!!!!!
Used to do that.
3 knee ops has taken its toll. But, yes, I'll be starting them in a few days, but a lot more gently than I used to, and maybe hold 30 seconds. When I've dropped a bit more weight it should be easier too.

Geeez Rags - you've been boasting about it for years ... taunting us, making us all jealous ... :upset:

Bridge,
How awful this situation must be for you.
But thank God you are a good enough friend to care enough to have the chat.

How's that cake coming along Fick?


And now, how a letter can ruin your whole day.... Collected the mail from yesterday, and there was one for me. From Breast Screen. Bugger, They want to send me to a hospital for additional tests.. "but please do not take this letter as necessarily indicating that you have a problem..." So they've booked me in for 11th Jan for a battery of tests. Rang my girlfriend in Coffs, and she offered to fly down and go to the hospital with me. Wasn't that a wonderful gesture. But I said I'll be fine, and no worries. But it has dampened my weekend a bit.

And now, how a little thing can brighten your day.... all the lovely Undies, and a pm from another Sheldon fan!!

Rags - I had the 'Recall' letter from Breast Screen a couple/few years ago. Needless to say, I was shitting bricks waiting for the core biopsy day to arrive. And then I shat Besser blocks waiting for the results. All turned out fine.

Take me along as your P/T..I promise I wont talk too much and I have my own toothbrush

Now there's a thought, ansd like Tawny says, I can give you a toothbrush... and a few samples of Colgate toothpaste. (That's why the ads can confidently say more dentists use Colgate than any other brand)

I'm working on the assumption I will also be OK. Or is that denial.
How long was it between tests and getting results?

[tawnyfrog]

Underoos and Friends Jan 2011

No - not denial but why start fretting until you've got something to fret about?

From memory - mine was only a couple of days at the most. I remember the guy who did the biopsy actually phoned me to give me the good news. That was a moment when I freely and without hesitation distributed large scale hugs.

9 out of ten are nothing to worry about Raggsy (cysts, thickened areas), but nothing really stops you worrying until you get the allclear....and if it is more sinister.....you got it early and are proactive about it.

Thanks Bridge, thanks Tawn.

I shall continue on my optimistic road... getting fit.... . I'd better or Sapphy will be on my back, and fixing the veggie garden... but I won't plant out like I did last year. I'll let it lie fallow till I get back from Canada. It's only 3 1/2 weks, but that's long enough for veggies to do weird things. It was a complete mess when I got back from Africa. AND a bloody caterpillar (which no doubt will turn into a beutiful butterfly) ate EVERY leaf off a new Grevillia moonlight I just planted. I now have a stick. And a pissed off caterpillar I flicked off the stem.
