RE: can you use alcohol as a type of crutch in life like smoking

Just to say thank you to the people for the nice comments to me. I appreciate them. All the staff are Angels I'm staying positive and will accept everything that's offered to me. A long journey but I've got lots of support from my family and friends and of course the Dr's and Nurses.

This is the song I've requested for the nurses to play for me on my last day of treatment when I'm lay on that bloody bed with a clamped in head and shoulder mask on for radiotherapy. They always put music on for me I'm seeing life from a totally different perspective now. Hopefully for the best
I've also requested "Ring my Bell" for when I ring the bell 3 times in the Hospital at the end of my treatment

I put my armour on, meaning my head/shoulder mask

Are you in the "buff" under that shark suit?

RE: Dating an alcoholic

Hi SA
I can totally understand where you're coming from as my daughters ex was/is an alcoholic and was always drunk and abusive with it. From what I've learned though, there are so called "practicing" alcoholics and drug users "If I've got the word "practicing" right"
Many just have a couple of drinks per day every day so they can still go to work, the same as drug users, they still can function and do a days work. They don't get drunk or blow their mind on drugs. Many professional people do this but so do many other people but they are still classed as alcoholics or drug addicts I think it's a very grey area....

RE: can you use alcohol as a type of crutch in life like smoking

I only gave up smoking on the 7th March this year, the day before I had my throat biopsy. No one has said that it was caused by smoking because they know that I'd had a bad intubation from having an op in early 2000's and had to have sutures in my throat. Id had this tickle for over 10 years but just put up with it and sucked Victory V's when I started to choke, that was the only thing that would work to stop the tickle "Long live Victory V's" I've just started intense chemo and radiotherapy for the next 6 weeks, Monday to Friday. It's not very pleasant. I wasn't aware of all the rigmarole you had to go through before treatment starts and this has been going on since January with all the scans etc then having to have a special mask made which they have to clamp in tight over your face and shoulders. I'd hate to be strangled. Chemo is a 4 hours session once per week then your radiotherapy after. I couldn't carry on smoking and expect to be treated by the NHS. I'm vaping but the disposable ones with no nicotine and in different flavours. The Specialist's are ok with that. That's my shortened story.....

RE: R.I.P. Gordon Lightfoot

I don't like a lot of musicians music either but I still have respect for them and it's nice of you to show respect

RE: we owe our parents $ 50'000 cash for rearin us

Pity that I can't pay them back as they've been dead for years

RE: You can't lie to the lord, the lord sees everything.

Can you explain what you mean by saying that you can't lie to the Lord please? A fair question don't you think?

RE: we owe our parents $ 50'000 cash for rearin us

I don't think "Bill" came into it

RE: R.I.P. Gordon Lightfoot

R.I.P. Mr Lightfoot. A great singer and artist. I've still got this song on my pc singing a duet with a friend from America on a karaoke site.

RE: are the thumbs-down people positive ?

I totally agree. This is a Social Media Site. Who cares anyway? If these people that make these multiple threads up day by day, spend some time doing something constructive, like keeping away from CS for a day then they may feel better As I'm a Northener, here is Paul/Lily may he/she R.I.P. aged 67. I don't think he spent much time on CS

I would love to live in America after my experiences of living In New Jersey, many times. Altlantic City just a short drive away

RE: Long hair on men in the 1980s style wise

Things change. They seem to go full circle and come back into "fashion" Long hair and high up pony tails but with shaved "sides" see to be all the rage again now.

These were my "era"

RE: Long hair on men in the 1980s style wise

Not quite long hair but they still looked and sounded good

RE: Long hair on men in the 1980s style wise

My 5yr old grandson has long hair and he doesn't want it cut. He has it tied back for school. His Dad, my son had the most gorgeous long wavy hair when he was in his early teens and played drums in a Heavy Metal Band. My other grandson who's now 14 has quite long hair. I'd prefer long hair to being bald anyday but that's just my personal opinion.

RE: If you lived your life all over again, what you change?

Why would she have to be "British" ?

RE: If you lived your life all over again, what you change?

I'll be losing my hair shortly and I'm absolutely dreading it I'll lose my hair as long as you still keep going naked I'll keep on smiling

RE: If you lived your life all over again, what you change?

Sue the NHS for their "incompetence" Other than that. Bolton won the "Papa John Cup" down at Wembley Stadium in London today

Never cross a "Northener" Well done us Wanderers

RE: How does suffering make you a better person?

Thank you . I'll get there, I'm a Brit

RE: Does pain make us stronger?

Pedro. You need to realise that everything isn't all about you. All the many threads that you make. It doesn't make you a stronger person All these people that are suffering along with you plus myself. We can't change the world.

RE: Does pain make us stronger?

Now this reminds me of my beautiful family. Reunited after donkies years

RE: Does pain make us stronger?

RE: Does pain make us stronger?

What "pain" are you talking about? What "tears" are you talking about? I'm very grateful for each and every day that I'm living. I know that I'm never gonna be able to go to America in the near future to see my bestest friend Used to go there 3 times a year.

No one knows what pain makes you feel or how many tears you will shed unless it happens to you/ them. I don't need anything to make me feel "brave" I AM brave

RE: How does suffering make you a better person?

Maybe you should tell us? As you seem to know the answers? It really is a shame that this site has gone down the hill. Luckily some of us have made friends outside of this site and so I really don't care what I say in here because you will always get the dickheads that think they're funny I was diagnosed with throat cancer last week when I saw the ENT specialist having had the Biopsy on 8th March. I think that I'm one of the lucky one's,still being here. Looking at many people that didn't have that chance. Hence Rik Mayall, and most recently Paul O'Grady amongst many others. I myself feel very angry, wondering why I've got throat cancer. I suffered from Basal Cell Cancer on both of my legs in 2021. You are not "alone" I won't say anything else as it could be used on this site

RE: How does suffering make you a better person?

It doesn't make you a better person Pedro. I would never wish upon anyone what I'm going to have to go through in the next few months but millions of people go through the "treatment" every day.

This is a social media site and people "take" what you have said in the past.

RE: why do british singers sound american during their songs?

Nah! you just like to be "noticed"

RE: Champagne has an average alcohol content of 12.5°,

It means that you're probably drinking too much alcohol. You can buy wine which has a 4 percent alcohol volume but I'm guessing that you already know this. Google is great add's a wink
