SAT AF 27 SEPTEMBER

[treetops]

Greetings folks. Hope you are enjoying the weekend. I was for 3 hours this morning until my partner got out of bed and proceeded to inflict his brand of sunshine on me. Its over a joint credit-card ? one card is lost and so both have to be cancelled and replaced . That makes sense to most people but he was insistent that I was lying about this process ? even after I had spoken twice to the bank people on the phone - seemed to think his card didn't need to be cancelled. What?s more irritating is that he hardly ever used it ? I am the one who puts most of the money in it and also uses it for shopping etc (mainly to get the airpoints as we don?t actually run up debt thank goodness) - or I use it for internet shopping, travel etc. Finally I got back on to the phone banking people and asked them to explain this to him. You might ask why he didn?t just call the bank? Because he doesn't do internet or phone banking. This then developed into an argument where he tried to prolong the tension and drag up things I had said years ago. I reacted my going out with my daughter and doing the shopping (sans credit card), and have decided to stay in my room tonight and avoid him as much as possible. He can cook his own meal too. If he wants my company he can treat me better.

Daughter is away on a sleep over so I will get up early tomorrow and go for a long walk. If she had not had any plans I would have gone away for the weekend with her to a nice hotel somewhere ? as its school holidays. But she needs her friends? company.

Long rant, but hey ? you won?t get one from me all week. Its to make you appreciate Mick?s jokes even more!
And as PPQP said ? if I needed an excuse to drink, I had one today. But drinking was not on my radar. Hope your weekend is calmer PPQP.

Thanks Mick for doing a round-up of us all to make sure we are OK during the week. Will you be OK ? reckon you will.

Like Pie and a few others I won?t be using FB as a MWO substitute ? as I have too many work/professional contacts on it ? and it could get complicated.
How?s the wee dog Pie? You just keep taking the AB during the week and you will be fine.

Hope you are all ready for Fall Lav and enjoy the weekend with the grandson.

Sorry you don?t like Fall Pauly.

SL ? yes, I find this site hard to navigate too. I love the lack of spam, and not loosing posts but I find it hard to easily read other people?s threads. Our thread is easy to find but I liked dropping into others as well and sometimes lending a hand. You get some rest this weekend.

DogLvr ? well done on keeping AF. Make sure you stick at it over the coming week too.

Hi there Det and Sam ? are you both being good?

Take care folks over the weekend and don?t loose your credit card!

morning all
getting myself together to got do the market thing.

Morning TT, sounds like you got a legit bitch... interesting when people don't have to deal with stuff what happens when they do. My ex wife did all the books and when we got divorced I had a real eye opener. Learned quickly though, pay up or phones start ringing! Hang in there, be thinking of you.

Not much going on other than work, some music and today lack of sleep.
be well all

I have calmed down now - thanks Sam. I tend to let things blow over fairly quickly. Don't seem to usually be able to harbor things for too long. Life is too short as we all know. Hope you have a great day at the market. I meant to go our Farmers Market today but had too many supermarket-type things to get.

Glad you are feeling strong. Stay away from sharp things next week too, OK?

MAE ALL....

TT....thanks for kicking us off. Why can't some people just accept you know what you're talking about. Especially after talking to the bank twice. Hope the rest of your weekend is good too.

Sam...hope you have a successful market day. Giving up the books when I got divorced was icing on the cake. The ex had no idea what was involved.

Mick...love the garden and will post wheat weaving pics when I get them. Had a lovely visit with Dad and now it's trying to rain. Baby back ribs in the oven smell great. I can't believe you won't pop on tomorrow but if not stay safe next week, I'll be thinking of you.

Lav...glad the busy weekend is on your shoulders and not mine. Sounds like you'll have great weather and be able to be outside.

Pauly...hope work is going good in spite of the lack of sleep. It does take awhile to reset your body clock, I'm always up around 5am.

Thought of work once when I drove past it and quickly told myself to stop it. Looking forward to watching some of the season premiers I've taped. Have a Super AF Saturday all and will check in tomorrow to sign off for the week......PPQP

Started the Sunday thread. Just to let you know in case it gets lost in the Doldrums.

SAT AF 27 SEPTEMBER

Hi all - hope all is settling TT, and dare I even hope, maybe an apology! Tales like this make me grateful to be single:H
Sam - enjoy market - I have run out of time last few weekends to get to farmers market - all I can do to get to supermarket.
Hi PPQ - your visits with your dad seem to be going so well recently.
Good Saturday Pauly and Lav - and Hi to Det when you arrive.
Did my run training - they step it up a bit, fell in the warm up , made a fool of myself - but managed the running bit - ankle giving me gip now though. Went on and did my walk after - so a good 7 plus miles.
Third load of laundry on, Oct calendar filed in - dishwasher ran and put away - what is next on the list??
Going to an Olive Oil festival tomorrow - just a small one with local olive oil folks - should be fun
See you later

SAT AF 27 SEPTEMBER

MAE all, I went ahead and signed up on the temporary forum that Nursie created. Having a place to check in and at least post my Newbies Nest Roll Call days has become important to me. Here's the link

TT - You sure did calm down quickly after your morning upset. I think that's healthy to have a rant, and then let it go. The dog, I call him Dog, is eight pounds of wonderful! I've been supplementing his kibble with a high-calorie raw hamburger concoction that includes eggs, wheat germ, flax oil, oatmeal, molasses, and a few other things. It'll put weight on him and make his black coat shiny.

Sam - Are you lacking sleep because of harvest time?

Mick - Your strategy of being the biggest PITA there is without getting into a conversation, sounds well, strategic. Works well for you, does it? I do plan on returning here to the Abbers threads after the site comes back up. There's a lot I quite like about you all.

Porquoi - As I'm late to the party, what do you initials stand for? The PPQP, I mean. I do volunteer regularly in dog rescue and adoption, but this is my first foster/rehab in 3 years. Sometimes a situation is so compelling, I have to raise my hand to help.

SL - How's your ankle doing? Hope it doesn't keep you from the olive oil fest!

Det - Hidy ho and hello to you too!

Lav - Weather here today was very similar to yours.

Pauly - See you over on Nursies thread.

Night, everybody.
