"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

yabber yabber yabber
it is half two and i cannot sleep
i'm going to make this my 'i shall come on here when i cannot sleep' thread.
It is very annoying.
I shall now go and try and sleep again.

Welcome Aboard Brit Gal - I'm off to zzzzzzzzzzzzzz now. Hope you get some good dreams! Working on mine


nitey nite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Izzie, had a feeling somthing was afoot, read in between the lines and my intuition was right as usual. Sincerely hope all works out well and you at long last will be able to enjoy what your heart tells you and you've been yearning for. Thank you for letting us all know, we're here to hold your hand and give support when required.

I note the effervescent P/Q called in but promptly went back to sleep. Welcome aboard P/Q, call again when you're wide awake and leave us some of your eloquent comments I read somewhere else.

Thanku BEAgle

Ha, I'm wide awake <she says trying to open her eyes> and off to do the school run. May have to go back to sleep for a bit when I get back in

Yep, you probably had realised a? - if I stop talking it's usually to do with G - hoping this time it's going to be for the right reason and all will be ticketyboo from here on out. The family are not going to be "quiet" with the ear bashing. Fully expecting to be hung, drawn and quartered for sheer stupidity, so they will say. hey ho.

The weekend with FQ and Bro was pretty full on - we took a trip into deepest darkest Cornwall, had daughterA and S-boy, sailing, and general running around causing heap big tired. Sunday was a bit of a blur and Monday I had to work late and get so many sorted at home. Usually I can talk at the same time - but Monday.... well...... I got here in the end. x

oh.........gotta go....... school bus will be waiting........ arghhhhhhhhh x

Hey you,what I said on the dog and bone yesterday still stands,but let G know that if he looses his new-found backbone,he does NOT want Bazza knocking at his front door!
((((((((((Izzie))))))))))

Oh.......... yep Bazza - he's being really strong at the moment - but I know too well that could change in a heartbeat. Ha - when we were out on Saturday nite at the concert - his daughter left two messages telling him "don't be home late" and "behave"... he really needs to let her know who the adult is ...... and finally, he is..... he's realised he's the adult and the manipulation has got to stop!!!!!!!!!! Result. He's acting like he's 46 now and being a grown up. 'Bout time I reckon!

He's actually being stronger than me right now. I keep waiting for him to say "oh no, I can't do this" and run away again - when his daughter starts stamping her feet - she's quite extreme - lives with him (as you know) and rules his life - usually, a tantrum happens every few days about something or nothing - and that's before she knew I existed - but his kids are gonna have to get used to the fact that their father has a life.... or will do.... if he keeps his spine intact. They are nearly 19 and 23 for goodness sake. Ha - I love him despite... so! Being as positive as I can. Have yet to tell my family (parents, brother............... we already don't have "communication" because they think I'm stupid for loving a weak person. I'm not. Stupid. But, that's too bad really for them. I never asked for their approval. I don't need it. <how confident did I sound??????> Not gonna make a big deal of it - might not even tell them - then I will keep my ears from being bashed. Not sure how BigBoy is going to react. S-boy is .... errrrr..... a little worried.

"G" knows he has to be strong. But heck - he met FQ and Bro for the first time - and only had a couple hours notice on that - talk about out of the pan and into the fire. He remained very cool.... tho, Bro is a bit scary when he "puffs up"! Bro shook his hand and said "man up"!!!!!!! - fortunately, only FQ heard - not me or G thankfully. I think FQ then kicked Bro.

Now that I've actually said this out loud - G knows that he can't get this so wrong again - he couldn't do that to me again. Well, of course, he could, but I dunno - he's doing pretty well with talking the talk and walking the walk. I don't need weak. I need strong. No more let downs.

So................ <----------- smile, big one. See what happens. Thanku - know how much you care Baz and glad I spoke to you yesterday. I am happy.

Thanks dutchy!
I managed to go back to sleep! Hurrah. The only way I can do it sometimes is by imagining loads of objects the wrong colour. Like a blue carrot, and a pink sheep. Isn't that weird?
love xxxxx

Izzie, I've been hoping this is what you've been hinting at. Don't know the backstory but just wanted to give you a hug and a giggle.

Best wishes to all crew (esp. Verbivore. Much happiness).

Good for you PQ - glad you got some sleep eventually.

had to chuckle about imagining blue and pink before sleeping!!!!!!!!!! Ha! That would certainly keep me wide awake! Blue carrots, pink sheep, perfect. Laughing here now

<we have a wonderfully coloured Yabber Liner - a paler shade of mauve I think we could call it >

good to see ya gal - insomniacs are us on this side of the world! How's life in London Town? Next time I visit - will give you a shout - Bazza and I didn't get to go to Greenwich market - ran out of time. Next time maybe.

oh........... thanku Spike...... yep, Joe Nations thread was a very real thread for me too when I was posting there....... when a heart hurts, sheesh, it hurts, no matter what the circumstances. He's a darling friend our Joe. Funny, how threads cross. I've just not been brave enough to post my journey about G. It always hurt way too much and the problems with my eldest and health were actually easier to talk about.

Hoping this will work out - just going to see what happens now - and what his big girl and my big boy do. Both children have similar problems. Mental health and special needs are very unpredictable. Don't think it's gonna be easy - but G is strong now - come what may, what will be, will be.

If he falls down - well, I got two good-ish feet to keep walking forward now if I need to.

Thanku ((((((((Spike)))))))) - thanku for the hug. Smiling big.


edit: strange this is..... I wouldn't be here on A2K if none of these things had happened - or found a family and friends here - there's a reason everything happens - just sometimes, you can't explain why - yet, it all works out how it's meant to be. Strange.

Please do give me a shout! I live near Greenwich. Yes life is good for me thx, although a bit stressful atm, how about you?
After my last exam on thursday I am free for 4 and a half months. Hurrah! x

Hey PQ - will do, next time I'm up that way!

Things are shaping up for me in Devon - all is good today.

So... you must be just finishing up at Uni then - 4.5months - what are you gonna do with yourself over the summer?



Hey hey crew........ well, been one of those days of doing......... not much... and doing that so well! Tried to have a zzzzzzz at lunchtime, but no success there - oof. Need to get an early nite in so I can survive work tomorrow Gonna see if I can get some pics of London up here thisevening. Little fella is needing some time right now so.......... maybe in a bit.

Hope all are doing k and wherever, whatever are safe and well. x

Morning crew, there must have been hamsters at work, been unable to get into a2k for quite some time.

Izzie good to see you had a great day in Devon, sun shining brightly eh.

P/Q go and enjoy yourself, you deserve it after months of hard work.

Read something terribly interesting overnight and like to share it with you.

A date with a strong man. That definitely rates a smile.

Oh christ, cannot sleep again, but this time it actually matters as I have an exam at 9 2moz. f**&^^%$%Y**&&%&

I have a feeling you're suffering from pre-exam jitters PQ. Tell yourself that you going to give it your best shot and go to sleep. Good luck I'm sure you'll do just fine!

Izziee.. i had mixed emotions when i read abt you & Bazza..mi glad that he finally is getting ready for reality..his children are old and wouldnt ""behave"" when he is in need!!! So better they keep their noses out of their Dad's happiness!! I wish I could talk some sense into their heads! This poem came to my mind as I read ....or rather it reminded me of u..i dunno..it is sweet!!!


A certain lady " By Dorothy Parker

Oh, I can smile for you, and tilt my head, And drink your rushing words with eager lips, And paint my mouth for you a fragrant red, And trace your brows with tutored finger-tips. When you rehearse your list of loves to me, Oh, I can laugh and marvel, rapturous-eyed. And you laugh back, nor can you ever see The thousand little deaths my heart has died. And you believe, so well I know my part, That I am gay as morning, light as snow, And all the straining things within my heart You'll never know. Oh, I can laugh and listen, when we meet, And you bring tales of fresh adventurings, -- Of ladies delicately indiscreet, Of lingering hands, and gently whispered things. And you are pleased with me, and strive anew To sing me sagas of your late delights. Thus do you want me -- marveling, gay, and true, Nor do you see my staring eyes of nights. And when, in search of novelty, you stray, Oh, I can kiss you blithely as you go .... And what goes on, my love, while you're away, You'll never know.

Oh Vegemite........... poor Bazza the Harbour Master is probably sending out an SOS to all the ships in the area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vegemite - I got together with "G" - remember "G" from a long long time back. Thanku Little One for your sweet words. Love you girlie. x

Ha - Bazza - you will be having a little chuckle now I reckon.... come back come back - it's OK - you didn't end up with me
