Re: March 2019 Army Thread

Yo troops

Sorry, just reading back. [MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION] like Rosie's new cut. Tres cute.

And a belated St P's day to all you mischievous oirish peeps

And can only share my sadness re the NZ tragedy. What I found quite surprising was waiting in the queue on Friday morning and hearing a guy who goes to the gym, he's about 60, saying how what had happened was shocking but that the problem was letting different people from different countries and cultures into the country.... then continued to berate how the Poles, other European countries and countries from where people have fled due to war and how all these people had inundated many towns in the UK, and that it wasn't;t right cos they are different from us... yada yada...

And he comes across as a nice enough guy.
And he just has these opinions which are different from mine...

But I couldn't help wonder how far his line of thinking had to be to be equatable to that of those who perpetrated extremist views, even though he admonished the attacker who carried out this atrocity.

Sorry, that went a bit deep there.

Hey there Tabbers - as the Doc Satz says, you gonna stick around? Please? Am the only boy on the block - though nice to see Mr G pop his pecs in :haha:

Busy here - school show - so am co-leading on that. And as for the B word... like, WTF?! I can't get my wee heid around it... but quietly hoping actually all this prevaricating and fudging is a long-winded way to give up trying to extricate us!

Quick query - if someone were to visit Belfast, what would you recommend they (me!) go see/do? Thinking of a wee summer visit...

Re: March 2019 Army Thread

Evening,
[MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION]..if you've got a hound as a pet......get them neutered........none of this weeping and wailing about it being expensive. Dogs are expensive. If you can't afford a dog get a goldfish or a stick insect.

Quick query - if someone were to visit Belfast, what would you recommend they (me!) go see/do? Thinking of a wee summer visit...

Loads to do.........I met the lovely Mario there nearly a decade ago. Do the bus tour saw things quickly then go back and have a proper look at the bits that pique your interest.

As for yer man there. My best friend at school was Jewish.......her grandparents fled the Holocaust........the bullying she received was unbelievable. Something I could never understand as my Dad was in WW2 and still don't to this day. I thought that was what they were fighting for.......freedom for the whole world. Never mind creed nor colour.

Latest on wanting to strangle doctors..........FIL does not after all have this degenerative thing in his legs. He's got some long-winded name that I can't remember but being helped with medication.
Anyway, he asked the doctor if he was okay to drive now...........the reply.........'I don't see why not'. The family have shrieked a resounding NO!!!!!
The fact he's nearly 90 has nothing to do with it........he's always been a terrible driver and he's still not that mobile and very forgetful. MIL is beside herself with worry.

Re: March 2019 Army Thread

Happy belated Paddy's Day. I didn't even know. How's that for disconnecting from the culture? Eh?
Ok so I am to purchase a room, a sofa and I am to lossack in it. Done, done and done.
I hope poor Rosie isn't too sore but so worth it. I hated that day then spent the next week trying to keep the buggar 'quiet'. It flattened her for all of 2 hours. I paid for extra lots of pain relief which made her go cross-eyed for a bit, which was amusing.
KTAB man, how are yer? How's ya Spring garden then?

Getting right into Cardinal. I've done Seasons 1 and 2 and started on 3, because no life. I also started right into the Marie Kondo drill again last night and took 5 bags of off casts down to the charity bin at 10pm last night in the driving rain. That's commitment folks. Said rain also came into the front of the house like a waterfall too so booked a roof gutterish cleany man to come ASAP - because height scared.
Might have gotten rid of the brother again. Claws crossed. If so am off to the door folk tomorrow to change all external doors and locks-they need it anyway.

Knocking it over now peeps.

Re: March 2019 Army Thread

Hello all. Happy belated Paddys day to all who celebrate.

I hope Rosie is feeling better. They bounce back so much better than people it always astounds me.

How did you get rid of the brother Bridge? Or would you rather not say :haha:

I am having a really horrible arthritis flare up. Been in pain for a couple of weeks and every step hurts. Position my foot badly and the pain shoots right through me. Horrible. I am going back to the docs on Friday to see if they will inject the hip. Been taking CBD oil but not helping yet.

Good to see you tabs hope you pop in again soon.

Off to work for my Thursday today lucky lucky me. Still not quite got the hang of using my free time to the best advantage eg getting my housework done on thursday so I can enjoy the weekend without it hanging over me. Oh poor me and my third world problems :haha:

Have a good one folks

Re: March 2019 Army Thread

Morning folks, I am fine thanks for asking. I am still taking time for myself with long dog walks in the woods and beaches, still doing my yoga and still spending time wrestling the lovely wilderness a.k.a the garden. With regard to the question raised ‘am I stickin around’, the answer is yes, I never really went away. I do read the forums but not daily, I seldom post as I don’t really have a lot to say that I haven’t already said. This disease is often called cunning and baffling and as anyone who has been around mwo for as long as I have can tell you, ain’t that the truth. Do take care, remember, you are worth it.

Ah good morning Tabs and everyone else. So lovely to see you and don’t worry about having much to say, we just like having you about. Would recommend the Titanic RC and the Black taxi tour. Make sure to book ahead, Titanic used to get very busy, might have settled down by now though.

Poor Rosie but it is worth it. Our rescue had a large scar and as it is normal practice to neuter if carrying out caesarean the vet adopted a wait and see approach rather than put her through an unnecessary operation. One month later she was in season, not pretty as she was everywhere could not cope with that. Have another day off so heading west with daughter and doggies. If I don’t have WiFi catch you all when I get back.

Re: March 2019 Army Thread

Morning All,
That sounds lovely Rustop. Especially the day off bit. I have one myself today. Enforced because I woke up to another roof leak and a broken hot water system. What's that sound? Is it money running through my fingers like sand?
So good to see you KTAB and yes it is a cunning little shite of a disease. Just when you start to feel confident that you've got it put down, the cravings start. I know it does get much better over time though.

Nice problem to have Starty. Enjoy settling into that new routine. Have a real life for a change, not just working, sleeping, eating, working.

How's Rosie now Satz?

Re: March 2019 Army Thread

Starty, how about magnesium oil for the arthritis? Have you tried it?

Hola Jonesy and troopers.

Is raw organic turmeric any good Starty? Meant to be an anti-infi....inflem....inflammatory.

Regards to Rosie!

Good to see you Ktab.

Re: March 2019 Army Thread

Rosie update.
She's home & all done.
In typical fashion - she's out of the NEW V. EXPENSIVE doggie bed ( guilty purchase today) �� & up on the couch with MrS as is usual at this time of night. I syringed just a little water into her gob but she blankly refused water or , milk or a treat. So I'll leave her till morning ...


Good news on YS. Each relapse is getting shorter. LAst one only lasted 2 days ...... & he was back on the sober wagon. I count this a progress.....

Praying for your and him Satzy. And I don't pray.

Just leave Rosey for a bit. If she doesn't take any water by tomorrow morning (when she will no longer have the shits) call the vet. I know you have good vets over there because I've seen Super Vet. He is probs a bit of a prick to live with but he loves dogs, so I love him.
