Thankfully I don't have that problem,I rarely eat sweet things. I really have to be in the mood which isnt very often otherwise I pull a face like a kid biting into a lemon or for anyone who knows it...the after soy face. Love that ad!!
Sorry Bella, I don't know of any but glad to hear you are getting positive results so far. It would be nice to see something come up that isn't as cruel as the disease they are fighting. All the best to you and your mum and indeed all your family.
I am departing Sydney next Monday on the P&O Pacific Pearl and heading for the Loyalty Islands in the South Pacific. New Caledonia islands - Noumea, Isle of Pines, Mare and Lifou. It is a 9 night cruise.
I am currently sitting at work bored and getting antsy that I could be doing constructive to get ready to leave but I am stuck here!!
haha, yes, I hadnt read everyone elses posts yet after yours.
Sorry Micky, but with all your health problems, you need to focus on you. You have done your time as a parent having to raise children, maybe they should be a little grateful and help YOU out a bit at this tough time.
I am a fair but firm mummy. Tough when I need to be.
My mum and her partner are complete opposites so they need some time out I think they would kill each other if they spent all their time together. Even when they are together, you can see when it is time to go home.
Wow, me too, Sunday off, then off to Sydney on Thursday. Hang with a friend until Monday and then cruising until the 17th. May get back just in time for the State of Origin decider.
This week seems to be dragging out though and I dont seem to be getting as much accomplished as I should.
I love music in the car but I do prefer heavier type music which I find makes me be a bit of a leadfoot without noticing. The more aggressive the music, the more aggresive my driving is. Not really ideal.
Today, I had a bit of a sleep in, then had a friend over who wanted to catch up before I leave on my cruise. Then I fluffed around shopping with no.3 son to grab a few things he needs to go away. Came home, did some housework, chopped some firewood and changed some downlight globes then got ready to come to work, here until midnight
Got the day off tomorrow so will be packing bags and more shopping for last minute items, cleaning house etc.
I am not apologising for who I am nor do I expect others to either. I love that we are all unique and different and what some people lack, others pick up the slack and I think that is how we get by in life. I have always been a rock for a lot of people and being emotionally 'hard' is, I suppose, a coping mechanism because if I had to take on board everyone else's stuff, I would fall to bits. I am quite empathetic myself, but I fail miserably at being sympathetic. I am good at being plain old pathetic sometimes too.
So bored..., so I got out the calculator to come up with some useless bits of information based on the last 20 threads of this forum.
Maths is not my strong point and of course these stats are only valid until another person looks at anything. Some of them I didn't even need a calculator for
The last 20 threads were started by 16 women and 4 men but at last view, we ended by 10 men and 10 women.
There have been a total of 1247 posts in those threads and a staggering 23475 views. That means that for every 18.83 people who viewed them, 1 person posted a response.
Most Viewed thread goes to Serene with her 'Random Thoughts' thread and she also takes out the prize for most posts.
Rob got the least Post per Views with his thread 'Got Wet' with only 1 in 44.07 people posting instead of looking.
Curly got the most people posting rather than looking at her thread about the 'Surprise Divorce'
I am sure none of you are any more entertained than you were before you wasted your time reading this, but it killed some time for me. Have a nice night
After reading a few posts and knowing people are upset, it made me stop and think what sort of an emotional response I give and frankly, I am a bit of a cold fish. I find I don't respond well to people when they are emotional and I am not the type who gets all emotional either. I find it very confronting when people cry and I have to be a comforter. I am terrible company if all anybody needs is a good hug and a friendly ear. I am fine if people come to me for advice in a rational state but as soon as there is any sign of a quivering lip or a tear, I want to run and get away. I don't of course, but I really feel uncomfortable. It is completely opposite of everything else in my life. I am quite an accomplisher in everything else, I can do anything I want and do it well but I can't seem to deal with the human side of people.
So now you all know that I am a complete weirdo, what is your emotional style?
Go Maroons but good luck to the Blues, they need a win. They thoroughly deserved the win in the first game, hopefully that inspires them for the third.
RE: Well I'm sitting here
Hey Mickey, get well soon, sounds like a rough trot
