"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

Yeah - but we aren't wandering around in that head of yours...what we see and what you know are two totally different things. ((Izzie))

I see your brave face.

The Bosun endorses mismi's wise words so take note Captain that all of us here see you differently to your own beliefs. You're the Joan Arc of the a2k threads and as strong as your Country's Cricketers who are about to give the Aussies the coup de grace today! We love you Izzie. (((Izzie)))

Ah, well, I thank y'all and am kinda now...

What you guys see is what you get with me - as much as i'm a hearts, roses and lalalalalalla gal (though I have more substance than some of A2K gives me credit for , but i do have a dark place in my being which has so many tangled threads of my uselessness and i do compartmentalise them else they'd strangle me - i'd say i had a happy free'ish spirit most up, but even that caused me a world of hurt earlier this year; i even amazed myself at my own stupidity and how someone could make me realise that i can't trust my own judgements again nor will i ever trust another bloke, ya know, iffn ya know what i mean! It's not important any longer but it still hurts - how stupid was I to trust someone Cut to shreds; strange how a little thing, a few words and nasty behaviour could tip me right over that edge and then all the other things that have lined up in a row in the past tumble out to covince me how rubbish i am. From confident and happy - to snivelling wreck - very, very clever. That's my weakness and it can be used until I find a way to stop it. Only way to stop that happening is...don't feel. Don't react. Don't respond.

Yep, i do climb back up - this recent kinda solitary confinement 24/7 (you know, like these few weeks) plays its part and I end up silent.. there are times where i don't want this anymore - there's so much goes on here that i don't/can't talk about any longer to anyone really... coz... well, it's just miserable and boring after a while for y'all - it doesn't go away tho for me... so that weakens me and i know my silences increase. I know the next month is going to be terribly hard - Christmas and New Year will be terribly lonely and a struggle - but it will pass and I don't do bah humbug too well!

So yep, i'm strong for the most part - but when i realise that someone has judged me and judged wrongly, and for no reason - it knocks me down and it hampers me for a long time.

So, having said all that - won't blah about it any further coz... it really is soooo boring and I'm not too good with compliments and i don't like fishing expeditions , but I do truly thank y'all from the bottom of my heart

I enjoy being here (A2K) and I enjoy all of you and your stories and the friendships that have developed and moved into RL and everything really - most of all tho, I know that you folk are here coz you choose to be, not out of some misguided or obligated 'duty' to be nice. On the internet, it's a choice to be here - not a duty to be anything other than yourself or pretending-nice, because all that's here (this thread) is friendship and i believe, honesty.

That's why y'all are the very BEST crew

i feel as tho i am doing better now and i know my strength and my strength fingertips will come back to carry me when i'm tired.

Onwards and upwards as we say... live laugh love a?

Smooches crew...

Morning Crew

Woke up to a winter wonderland - nope, no snow whatsoever, just frosty frosty - the mist was down - actually, it was freezing fog - and way too cold and icy to go outside until it had lifted a little. Took a very slow amble in my boots onto the crunchy grass at lunchtime... kinda weird being outside Good tho and so so so very quiet. Gorgeous.

It's defrosting now but the cold temps will be back again overnight - I love this weather, cold cold cold (thank goodness for central heating) - would love a little snow but I don't think we're going to get any


waves to Baz and Taggers - hope you both had a good weekend and Baz, you got to the airport meetup OK.

Laterz x

H-boys gt diarrhea! pls pray...hes drowsy since morning - refuses to hve ORS or porridge!!!! hes hardly hd one glass of soy milk fr th whole day! plllll pray

Hey MaMaVerby

Try not to worry. Don't give Hrehaan any more milk products for the next 24 hours - only water or redhydration salts like pedialyte...



or if you can, get some lemonade... or 7UP...lucozade, open it up and let it go flat (no fizzy) and give that to Hrehaan in a bottle

have you got a freezer? if so, he may like a frozen popsicle - anything just to get the fluids down him

that's all, keep him cool and leave all dairy products for at least a day

ok... come back on here or ping my msn to let me know you've picked this msg up

please do try not to worry... fluids fluids fluids, no food or milk for a little while, just fluids.

Greetings from the great white north. Got our first nasty winter weather yesterday and I was a fair wreck by the time I got home from work last night. The Mr. was all caught up on projects, so since he had no classes today he offered to play chauffeur and we got a lot of errands done. (And I got to t'ai chi for my quota of dog affection from my sensei's new pooch. Oh, and I managed some t'ai chi too. )

Got djjd's Christmas package mailed. A lump of coal is incredibly heavy to mail...

So glad to hear your foot is better Izzie. (Dutchy, I'm thinking that since this is the Yabber Liner, you should refer to the captain as Joan of Ark.)

This is nice. Flashmob Messiah. Take a look, listen.

Captain,airport meeting canceled.Here's the back story.Verb's cousin returned to India weeks ago for the birth so that the baby would be Indian.Due to the crap weather we've had in the UK,it was decided,for the baby's sake,that they would go straight home to Derby after arriving at Heathrow.Secret mission still in progress,just waiting on a phone call from Derby.
Great to see that FQ is going back to work (info from Facebook).
You be careful on that frost/ice.Don't wanna' see you slip sliding into the stream.

That brings back memories McT.I was a Flash Mobber in the early days.On one occasion we turned up at the London Eye carrying an umbrella and a banana and performed a worship ritual.Another was held in Soho Square where all we did was swop books.Flash Mobbing has come a long way since then.Much more organized with much more impact.Great fun!

Hi Tai Chi, this is what I posted yesterday when referring to Izzie, "You're the Joan Arc of the a2k threads and as strong as your Country's Cricketers who are about to give the Aussies the coup de grace today! We love you Izzie. (((Izzie)))"
Seems two great minds think alike on reading your latest post. With all your work and exercising Tai Chi you should be a bundle of fitness. You've got the winter, we've got the summer, pretty warm here presently.
