Happiness is a soap bubble

Aa, absolutely, that complete weakness from hysterical laughter

Happiness is a soap bubble

Back with coffee

Okay some comments were a bit off the wall in some cases I had a car accident today, not a big deal (although the car is feeling very sorry for itself) and I think my brain may have bounced a bit. I don't know how boxers keep it together, all that jarring.

Not my fault, by the way. But it does mean I can't settle to what I should be doing, which needs a clear head and careful thought. Challenging enough at normal times.

So, anyone still awake? Any whacky jokes?

Rough, I wasn't being facetious, by the way. Shutting away harmful vibes, the way that works is the way that works

Happiness is a soap bubble

Prof, it IS. No-one ever reads more than the first comment or two

Happiness is a soap bubble

Like a hamster bubble? I love hamster bubbles, used to have a hamster who wheeled around sneering at the cat and charged around the place and I thought what a great way that would be to move around a hostile world. Free to roam but safe.

Prof, our little secret, don't tell anyone - I'm hoping the blog reminds people of their bubbles, for once

Shhh,. Mum's the word!

Happiness is a soap bubble

Ms Witch, I hardly know myself what I'm on about

You'll be nicely puzzled by my comment on your blog, too - don't ask me. My brain is rattled

Prof - oh man wouldn't THAT be awesome? I'll add a truckload of dreams to that order.

GG, if you know each other's ages then yes, meet. Why not? It's society that wants people to be the 'right' age for each other.

Do you know the right age? Half the man's age, plus 7 years. Which is great when he's 20 and you're 17 but goes a little skewed later in life. Why, if you met a hunk of 60 right now, the 'right' age for him is 37.

So two fingers up to the 'right' age and go make a friend. If he's more, whoohoo. I've dated someone 19 years older than me (okay, a while ago - these days there aren't that many left alive ) and someone 15 years younger. Age wasn't the first criteria.

GG enjoy your TV. How's the hair? and did you meet that gent yet?

Oh right you're gone. Enjoy!

Happiness is a soap bubble

Well, Prof, if I ever get that pesky department to answer the phone again, I'll add that to the order


Almost as if they had caller ID and were ignoring me.

Happiness is a soap bubble

Hi lovely Titch and again congratulations on being the proud mum of a graduate! That must have been a fair flurry of happy bubbles

Yes, there are bubbles in every day, and they do make up for the slings and stones of outrageous fortune, if I got that quote right.

Happiness is a soap bubble

GG, pass on the flaky and baggage-laden, I've already turned down a few of those

But if you feel you have the patience, I'll send one of the taller darker ones over? Handsome is as handsome does, don't look a gift horse in the mouth

GG I'm struggling with that mail order department as it is.

Not to mention the whole truth in advertising thing. I mean - mail order department! So I said I'd like one in good health, please, quite tall, rich would be a bonus but good company would be the main thing -

they put the phone down on me.

Happiness is a soap bubble

I'd like to order a gross of happy bubbles, please.

Today needs a bit of a boost.

Quite glad it's quiet in here tonight, I can rabbit on quietly to myself

RE: Proud mum

Ish, wow, congratulations!

RE: AN OPEN LETTER TO MRS MAY

Has she replied yet?




I know in her place, with the poisoned chalice of Brexit (which she didn't want herself) dumped in my lap I would have done exactly the same - got a mandate from the country, which was shouting with at least 20 million hostile voices demanding 20 million different things, OR lost the election, either of which would have been a win. Trouble is, the best Labour could come up with is Muttonhead and despite a seductive manifesto which promised 20 million happy endings, STILL couldn't quite hack it.

Of course there was always the 3rd option which someone like you, being so politically astute, would have anticipated from the first. Hung bloody Parliament, argghhhh

But then you would have handled the whole thing, and those 20 million squawkers, so much better. Do tell us how.

Grabbing a coffee to go with my popcorn, this should be instructive. I do LOVE experts.

RE: Green circle on profile pics

Ha, literally from the valley, I'm from Kloof.

REALLY like that drawing you use on your profile, would you be able to say where you had it done?

RE: on my way home

Molly, since I'm arranging this marriage thing you and Johnny have been planning - does this mean you're taking the obey out of love, honour and obey? Or will you both be saying it?

BTW Johnny you may not have been aware that you two are getting married in Spain fairly soon. Molly's occasionally forgetful, or might even have felt a bit shy about mentioning it.

I wouldn't mention it myself except that I'm not sure which of you is paying the deposit.

RE: Green circle on profile pics

Yup, target - presenting yourself on line and ready for cupid's arrow.

Howzit, I'm from Durbs originally too

RE: Very big aging white pine tree.....

I like that she will finish her days in the wood stove, not just hauled away to end her life as toilet paper in a wood processing mill. Hard to tell what a tree would have wanted, but I think it is what she would have chosen.

Oh dear Red may be tearing up a little too.

RE: Roll Call...

Prof yes, that's true. We are all equally at fault. Or perhaps you are aiming that directly at me.

The best thing in that case would be to report me to the mods and I will go quietly.

RE: Roll Call...

Some of the people you list as missing left in disgust because of some of those permanently banned or in jail

At least one is here in one of her other personalities, and was blogging today.

Some will have fallen in love and gone - Peds is one, and from what you said, Ian is another? Cat, possibly, got his paws buttered. I hope so.

I was reading a 2 year old blog the other day and nearly every profile was whited out

However, some of the ones you mention have been on in the last couple of days, and commenting on blogs - Eks, Tru, Blue, BB

Our blogs aren't going to make anyone rush to log in, though. Hostility, accusations, orders, instructions, exclamation marks, and the end of the world. Haud me back.

RE: Ladies

And men do?

Unfortunately all of us, men and women, have to toe the line in social and work situations. Like it or lump it

In fact women - or ladies, if you prefer, although incredibly few women are 'ladylike' these days - actually need to take life on the chin a bit more. Equality is equality. We do NOT have the right to be more foul-mouthed, obnoxious, or abrasive than men. Neither can we at the same time demand to be more protected, which it seems we do. Good grief.

The whole idea of equality was that people can react as people without stopping to think whether their reaction is gender-appropriate. The community is the community and we all have a role to play. Good manners and occasionally accepting things may be said that we don't like is part of being adults.

Tru - but you're here anyway. Aw, that's the mark of a Tru Friend.

Taking people out of boxes

No you're not, you're still a baby.

And yes, sharing that bottle is on my to-do list one of these days And now along with the earworm I have a countdown going in my head to it being bitten off. 10 - 9 - 8

I really do hope not, but I feel like Charlie Brown running up to the ball Lucy is holding for me to kick.

Taking people out of boxes

Viking, that song has been rattling around my head since I typed this dratted blog and now you just hammered it into place

But thank you, and welcome, and hands up everyone else who now has an earworm?
