Re: July Army Manoeuvres

Oooh I'll be over to write on your cast, Molls. Seriously though take care of yourself. :hug:

I'll live........put on nigh on 6kgs..........so perfect weight for my height........tell that to my saggy jowls. I'll win this year's British Bulldog saggy jowl's contest hands down.

Got mightily pissed off at my SIL........and its still rankling. Couple of snide little comments...being one that's banging round my head at the moment.....'Mr JC has done this all himself........I'll give him a hand and clear the table its the least I can do'........pointed look at me. Its not the first time........I've got in the ear from her highness.

Now the question is.......do I just let this go? or I get her in a corner and say listen Miss Prissy pants..that pulled pork sarnie your eating was put in the oven at 3am by me and that side of coleslaw was made by me at 7am.........or do I just wait until I get another bout of C-diff and shit in her hand bag.....I know which way I'd like to go.

Don't hold back, Jackie - do both!!!!!!!!! Is this Mr. JC's sister we're talking about? If so, she's probably jealous that he helps you out with things. And my bet is that her hubby does sweet p-all around the house. Seriously tho' - just let it go. It's so not worth it. You know what you've done to get ready for the BBQ. Who cares what she thinks. If you do say something tho' - say it with a huge smile and make her feel a fool for commenting!

Re: July Army Manoeuvres

so much for the snooze - wide awake as soon as I swung the legs up!! yes it did hurt Stirls but I'm a bit (very) hospital phobic - so codded myself and Joe until my foot swelled up last night like a balloon - had to promise him I'd go - then it was the wrist which was sore but not as sore as the shagging foot!!!
I'd have dealt with it at the time Jacks - I speak my mind as you know - I'd have roared laughing at her and told her about the pulled pork at 3am and no WAY would I have let her away with it - however to bring it up again now? mmm - not sure - could be WW111?? Shit in her handbag by ALL means:thumbsup:

Must admit I am enjoying reading the thread on a 2-hourly basis as a break from writing!

Glad you be ok Molls, enjoy these few days off work

I don't tweet, but i get tweets. Here's one from Mr D. Lama, that dude from Tibet:

Inner transformation is not a matter of faith or prayer. It involves reason and the use of human intelligence. A calm and healthy mind has a very positive effect on our physical health and well-being.

I think too often when we have problems (such as addictions), we defer to faith, hope and prayer to sort it out. Or blame a circumstance beyond our control. But actually we all have it within us to reason what we need to do. And usually, we can do it. If we choose. I'm thinking of myself here. But also of young Satz.

If we allow life to grind us down, erode us from the inside out, it will. (My hand goes up, yep, I allow it to do that.)

Look at [MENTION=7261]Guitarista[/MENTION] - despite his ups and downs, his Sadana (think it's called that?) practice is a dead simple daily routine to develop a calm and healthy mind that supports well being. So I think for those who still struggle with temptation or still imbibing, or with sobriety that feels at times fragile, it is good to have space/time each day to nurture a calm mind.

Back to the dissertation folks...

I LOVE that RC. Thank you for posting. I do that too. I really must start meditation again. Doing little mindfulness exercises each day is helpful too. The what do I see, feel and smell stuff

Re: July Army Manoeuvres

Got home from the Vets and got a shagging parking ticket. This is why I do not socialise. Apparently spent too long in a 2 hour limit space :haha:

Re: July Army Manoeuvres

We went to hospital to see mother at 1pm.
Home at 4.30pm and that fecker was home & on the bed passed out.
Don't know if he actually even went to work or came home early - but he drove.
Mr S could not get any sense out of him .... ...... JAZUS !!

Here we go again......

On a lighter note - look at this absolute shite being sold.....:haha:

Re: July Army Manoeuvres

Sorry Molls - missed the foot / arm injury.
Sit back and enjoy your time off - eat yummy stuff & read your brains out. Hopefully the sun will return for you :heart:
I'm only working one day this week :hyper: - so we can keep the chat going !

[starty]

Re: July Army Manoeuvres

And people will buy that shite too! It did make me chuckle though

I am off tomorrow then back in Weds (boooooo) Tomorrow taking the dogger to the vets for a little op so hoping all goes well there.

Sorry to hear about young S again. I bet your guts lurch everytime that happens

Satzy - what I'm going to say is said with much love and respect. Who's car is he driving? Take the fecking keys away so he can't drive, even if it's his own car. Let him find another way to and from work - bicycle for example. You won't kick him out to protect him from being on the street, yet he drives, possibly while drinking, and could badly injure or kill himself or others. Our nephew got drunk at a party in 2004 - he was at the home of his future in-laws. There were about 25 people present - all over 25 years old. He only drank a few times a year but when he did, he got tanked and that night was no exception. He insisted on driving home and they let him. His friends went after him to try and stop him but of course he was driving like a maniac. They witnessed the accident. He spun out of control and crashed into a parked truck trailer. He died instantly. He was an only child. Luckily there was no one else injured. No one had the guts to take his keys away and lock him in a room til he sobered up. If they had, he would be alive today....

What's wrong with your doggie? Hope all goes well. I was always in a panic when my Freddie had to be operated on. Hated it!

Re: July Army Manoeuvres

Evening all. Sorry about the arm Molly, parking ticket Starty and young Satz. Life is full of challenges isn’t it. I vote for shit in the bag too. That gave me a laugh as did Satz’s photo. Only one more day of work and then off until next week, can’t wait, tired as getting up early every morning to walk the doggies before I go and then had all the visitors too. Feet up now for the evening.

Re: July Army Manoeuvres

don't think anyone in the world has a busier life than you Rustytops!! Dealing with more family strife here - with 4 sprogs it really does seem to be endless - in this case it's not a self inflicted problem by any of them but doesn't help really... anyway - so be it - onwards and upwards to the next crisis!!!
Joe was going to 'treat' me to a couple of days down in Kerry - wasn't that keen anyway tbh with the hand - wouldn't be able to swim or anything - but now I reckon we shouldn't go cos of above mentioned problem... just feel I should be here - bit supportive - you know? Reckon he's going to sulk any moment now.... FFS - some men NEVER grow up!
How is your mum Benjy?

Re: July Army Manoeuvres

Evening all,

Stirly that is a shocking story about your nephew I am so sorry.

Rusty, you will so appreciate the down time after all that!!

Molls, sorry to hear you have more challenges too. I cannot imagine what constant kid worries must be like its bad enough when grown ups get issues but at least they are big enough and ugly enough to sort themselves out

Dogger has a problem with his eyes, he has a little warty growth which is going to be removed. He keeps getting infections in his eyes which may or may not be caused by that. So that is the first thing to get sorted then we will see where we go next. I hate them having surgery too. I worry but luckily I am home tomorrow from work so can nurse him when he comes home
