Re: International Army July 2020

Morning................ a cheery way to start the weekend...... Opt-out organ donation: Max and Keira's Bill passed into law - GOV.UK
Its only in England at the moment. It became law 20th May 2020. Dunno what they're doing in Scotland, Wales or NI.
I've carried a card forever..............always reckoned when I got my harp. wings and fluffy cloud I wouldn't need them.
There are exceptions.
Its mad that when I got my last liver test and it was perfect.....and I thought at least that won't be chucked in the bin.

Todays the first day in ages I've woken up and wanted to get out of bed.

[MENTION=9170]byebyebridgetjones[/MENTION]..............I :heartbeat: note books. Our Jenny loves notebooks. I have accepted my DIL fully into the family for her love of notebooks. I have a plethera of note books and pens of many hues.

Re: International Army July 2020

A mood board is it Bridge ?

Yes I think so. And I think we should all do one.

I think it might be a good exercise for those of us not good at planning because we never really know what we want. Anyone can pick out an image that they love without completely knowing why yet. Then it might strike you why you picked it. Like reverse engineered planning.


Has anyone seen MotherFatherSon? It's on ABC so hopefully good. A LOT of smoking so far.

Yep it was donating to science JC. They can have what they want from me but it will be seconds alright.

That sounds a bit serious JC?

Re: International Army July 2020

Another quick hello from me.

Basically I just wanted to apologize for a post I made yesterday in reply to Tawnywitch. I said that most of the Army members are in the UK. Bad me. That's like lumping the US and Canada together as one country. Sorry ladies and gent of the Emerald Isle. I should have said UK and Ireland or rather Ireland and UK since there are more Irish members here. I hope I didn't offend anyone. Just wasn't thinking as I rattled off a quick answer.

Lists are great. I never complete them but love writing them. So are notebooks and file folders and all those things to keep your papers in order. I have tons of them - both at home and at work. The dossiers that we file our customers' invoices in have a different colour for every year. This year I chose purple. It's young Alverto's favourite colour!! :heart:

Jackie - love the word plethora. Funny enough, it's the same word in Greek, only with an "i" instead of an "e". I will start to use it in my daily conversations....

Hope you are all enjoying your day. Back to the phones.....

Re: International Army July 2020

Evening everyone. No offence taken Stirly, did not read your comment but would take it in spirit it was made. All the same here anyways, group of ex alkies regardless of where we come from. At my SIL in the Wild West, weather not great but himself getting some fishing in and just back from a long walk on the beach. Love making lists and get great satisfaction crossing things off.

Re: International Army July 2020

Good evening from the Costa del Mersey. We are still celebrating the Liverpool footy result. Thank you for the video stuff JC.

Mr A recovering very slowly very sensitive to the antibiotic treatment so keeps collapsing but that is improving.

My injuries are healing but I am in good spirits (no pun intended) Keep thinking about having a drink but I think I know where that urge is coming from! I can resist but need to silence that voice.

Have a great Friday evening.

Re: International Army July 2020

Be careful my friend! You are being put through the ringer AND you can't run...this has to be a testing time
You KNOW it solves nothing but the 'f$#k it' thoughts could be perilously close...stay close here when or if you feel vulnerable and feel that strong gutsy Whiz coming through...xxxxx

Re: International Army July 2020

[MENTION=22839]brit[/MENTION]...........Newcastle fans are still celebrating The Fairs Cup we won in 1969............. we've won nothing since but we try.

[MENTION=11158]stirly-girly[/MENTION]..........does that mean I can speak Greek

We finally have a temperature above 20C tomorrow..........fair enough its going to hissing down but it'll be warm rain and we've got a huge parasol....... Mr. Jc's finally taking a couple of days off and the forecast is sun for two whole days. I'm going to hide his phone.


Nighty night lovelies........:biglove:

Re: International Army July 2020

Been awake early and pleased I did not cave in. I resurrected Marios thoughts and great ideas about combatting and silencing that seductive voice.

Ankle feels better this morning and I am able to weight bear on it.

Mr A much the same I am just hoping that this last brutal treatment has worked!

Thanks Molly for your post.

Re: International Army July 2020

Morning MsA
Your strength is amazing & has got you through.
I do hope MrA's treatment has worked for his sake and yours.

Mario is still helping people from the other side. :heart:

Can you direct us to MArio's post - it may be just the thing someone needs today.

Re: International Army July 2020

Morning all the rest of yiz !!!
Oh Joy !! I get to go to work today :hyper:

I know I'm a pain in the arse - In Work - Out of Work - but being off work proved to me I have to be doing SOMETHING.
I feel being at home - all day every day = shopping, cooking and , trimming rose bushes FFS!! & cleaning for the sake of it is such a waste of a life. That is just me. I NEED something to get up & dressed properly for ....
I think this stems from my father who was dead within weeks of a forced retirement. And my mother who worked all her life. She was still in a Charity shop @ 85.

Retired folk all around me - Jesus - I saw the guy up the road out with a pair of scissors clipping tiny stray bits of a hedge after he had played golf all day. The garden is manicured to within an inch of its life.
Surely we were born to be more than that ?

I know I say I don't like people ( actually that may be just family, boss & in-laws ) but I love the interaction with all the different personalities, colours & creeds in the Nursing Home.
I think it's funny that I ended up dealing with the public - maybe that gives me an 'out' when it comes to minging socially.

Just some musings of a Saturday morning .............. Thanks for listening.

:haha: What kind of list would that be now Rusty you vixen.
I totally misread that first time as Love-Making Lists. :egad:

DD headed West too yesterday - hit Galway & it's pissing rain. They found a pub.
I'm deffo going to Greece. Safer there too.

Re: International Army July 2020

Wow -- lots to wake up to -- lets see-- Whizzy - I'm so glad the world seems a bit brighter and the foot feels a lot better -- you are a wonder woman - don't ever forget that - and yeah you get through those 'drinking thoughts' at night - next morning it's business as usual -- it passes and you are proof of it -- JUST. TAKE. CARE,

-- well personally I don't think I'm going to anywhere outside of Ireland - it's not the safety of the countries as they are pre. opening up -- it's the muppets the countries are letting in... jesus are they REALLY that desperate for business that they open up to all and sundry? VERY happy to stay in Ireland at the moment -- but then -- we have the advantage of the bike -- that IS our hobby -- so when your hobby becomes your holiday - it's a double win-win really... few poxy bob spent on flights can go down the toilet at the moment as far as I'm concerned... -- but --- THAT'S JUST ME!

Working v not Working.... yeah -- I'm inclined to agree with you -- think it depends on your personality maybe -- I was glad to stay at home during the depths of the pandemic - but now -- delighted to be out and about - and to be considered 'a person' in society -- the few years I spent at home rearing children (and ffs that was the hardest job I ever did!!) I felt like a non-person... I've worked part-time for a month or so - (forced) and don't like it either -- don't get me wrong - as a temporary little arrangement it was grand -- stuffing my face on the couch and gardening -- being able to go swimming whenever it suited me -- but -- nah - love the routine --- love the 'treat' that the weekend is.. when I do retire - it'll have to be with a mission in mind -- at the moment we'll probably move house so that should take up a good year -- and lots of holidays -- as long as the money lasts -- but then......?? dunno -- I s'pose it's a case of 'be careful what you wish for' --

And now -- I have the ENTIRE mob coming -- 12 of them for lunch -- so off to supermarket for grub and then cooking...

Re: International Army July 2020

I married my house so therefore I'm a housewife but one that does good deeds..........will polish my halo later. :angel:
Will work for cash in hand as YAY there's only two years left on the rest of that debt paying thing so don't tell anyone.

My library doesn't open 'til back end of August but I really want to get back to drug and alcohol.......not literally you understand..........but they're up in the air.
I'll be 71 when Mr. JC retires so we'll prolly have 10 minutes together to do fun stuff before one of us shuttles off.

Anyway the sun is shining, the sky is proper blue so we're off to the shops.

Re: International Army July 2020

Just had a boiled egg with soldiers! yummy.
Staying Ireland sounds sensible Molly but everyone I speak to has a different opinion. My daughter in Norway says the same it is almost covid free but people can bring the virus in from overseas or over borders.

Hopefully the sun is shining in Newcastle JC and you can get out today.

Hiya Rusty,Mary,Bridget,and Stirly--Waving to everyone else.

Satz the posts I found helpful were in the TOOL BOX. Worth revisiting.
