Morning all,

I like Gargoyle too.
Are your dreams scary Bridge?
Hi Missy!
I would be dissappointed Tawny, and frustrated at that convo with that woman. Here you are just making some initial enquiries, and you end up dealing with umming and aahhing. I hope you continue the search, as there is bound to be a useful match out there.

Checking out a Marshall amp today. You know, those big, brutal, all valve jobs. he he. Me mouth's watering!

22C and sunny forecast today, but overcast at the minute. ave a beaut day.

Tis Good Morning from me,

I failed miserably in my promise to be in bed by midnight but I absolutely must be in bed by 10.30pm tonight because the gym opens tomorrow and I've got to get my routine embedded before work starts again in a week! I must say NO to boardgames after 9pm.

Sorry to hear about the shrinkage disappointment Tawny. If I could say anything encouraging I would... well the only thing I can say on a positive note in that department is that over time I have proven to myself how much saner and more self-aware I can be than most practitioners of that sort. I've come to accept that life is strange and the more I look the stranger I discover it to be but it no longer alarms me.

Bridget, I found baclofen gave me really crappy sleep, especially if any al was involved. Even without al, at lower dosage I don't sleep but just relax so reading at bedtime really helps and I sleep better. At higher dosages I had the twitchy side effects and wierd dreams with frequent waking so it was annoying. At times I tried taking more bac when I woke, say midnight or 2am but then I was just more whacked out in the morning. What I do now is try to take my last dose of bac no later than around 7pm, enough to get me past the witching hour, and just go to bed and read. Dunno if that helps.

Gious, I imagine you all drooly with your Marshall Amp as I march off into this lovely cool overcast day for my morning walk, then lots of weeding now the rain has softened the ground.

Hello to Miss B, Rags and Eggy, anyone unmentioned by me and all others to come!

Stay well peeps

Tawny, just another thought, have you ever heard of the library angel?

When I was young I would go into the library with a belief that if I chose six books at random they would all connect in some way and the stories would teach me something in combination that I needed to know. It was a wierd private conviction known only to myself until I mentioned it to a friend some years later. She said, 'oh of course, that is the library angel' as if I was an eejit. I was gobsmacked.

I have noticed in life that if I have that attitude generally, if I am looking out for clues, it is the chance things that people say to me and the things I happen to read that come together to give me the greatest insights into things.

Just a thought, it might tide you over as you search.

Last time I got into KTAB's FB page he said that he had to unfriend 1,000 people to make room for the new International applicants. He said "too bad so sad, off yis go".

Fickle, have you ever read "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" by Betty Smith??? I read it when I was about 10 (it is an adults book) but about a girl (in NY) whose ambition was to read every book in the library. We lived 2 doors away from the library and I tried to follow her ambition :H We had a pretty small suburban library so I did pretty well :H:H And yes, serendipity meant that all sorts of thoughts and wonderings came together!

Hello Undies,

I'm back for a four day weekend after a very hectic, eventful, stressful, exciting, exhilerating, exhausting, amazing five days in my new job. Just catching up at home at the moment as the boys have been off at a the Falls Music Festival and I havent seen much of them for ten days. The bloody grass has shown knee high while I have been away, the house looks like its been inhabitated by tramps and theres no food in the fridge. Be back later to catch up. Loves yas all Saffxx

anyone there? I'm really grumpy and need to vent!!!

Morning Undies and visitors. Humid 35 today, which I don't mind. I've almost finished digging out the front garden for the wall and the artificial turf goes down next week.
Bridge, I get the dream thingy too. Vivid colour and some a bit scary. I also get the twitching awake, but I figure that no matter what, it's all so much better than I was feeling when I was drinking.
Missy, I'm so glad you're back and that you've had an awesome break. I've been wondering how you've been doing.
Saph, the new job sounds wonderful.
G, hope you find the perfect amp.
Tawny, I so envy you your chooks. I miss mine heaps. They have amazing personalities and provide hours of entertainment.
Have a great day everyone.

Yup - I'm here ... vent away

What's up Missy?

Underoos and Friends Jan 2011

I will vent anyway!

Mr B is a complete treasure, but sometimes he can be a complete arse. As part of the chuckage, we are putting all CDs onto computer and hard copies into storage. I have an audio book of Anna Kerenina which I have never been able to download in a form that plays the chapters in sequence. So Mr B tried to do that today and put a copy onto my desktop. But when I tried to play it in i-tunes it still doesn't do it in sequence and I suggested to him that it hadn't worked. He suggested that I had "fiddled with it" and it was my technological incompetence that was to blame. I suggested that I didn't really appreciate being talked to in that tone of voice (condescending). He suggested I was pre-menstrual. I suggested he fusk off. He went to the gym.

Do I hope that he comes home with an apology or should I continue to make dinner?? :H

Continue to make dinner (or you'll go hungry) and when he comes back tell him he's a total dickhead, bon appetit, and suggest that if he keeps this up he'll become pre-castratal.

Thanks TF ...... the smell of the cooking spanakopita is making my taste buds go wild! And I have salad to eat as well (he doesn't eat salad, so he can suffer big time! :H:H)

"pre-castratal" .... hmmmmmm - must look that up in the OED!!!
