ParticipantYou poor thing. Insect bites are the worst. Do you have lots of bugs where you are? I will bring calamine lotion and anti itch things. I’ve heard peppermint and clove and lavender and tea tree oil help with itching.
You are clever. Roll with this wonderful feeling of it! I reckon the more you hear it the easier it’ll be to accept it. And all other good things in life that your natural reaction to is to reject.
Your shoulder has been playing up for a long while now. Since the play date with the cool lawnmower? I don’t know whether to say it sucks getting old or go at a doctor. I always go with it sucks getting old. It’s cheaper and saves me the doctor’s politically correct and expensive version of that.
This is going to sound dum but I’m loving having a day off. I need a break. I might try to take a week off soon if the work frontier calms down a bit. Thank you for putting it into perspective with chicken soup hair 😂 😂 😂

ParticipantImmediate loss of guilt to avoid chicken soup hair and the effort it would take to have to go wash it. Thank you for this clever proposal 😂
How are you doing?

ParticipantDearest Anita
That’s an excellent poem. I love it.
I’m not dreadfully sick, just miserably sick. I have always gone to work regardless of health so I’m trying not to fall into a puddle of guilt. There are mixed feelings in my employment places: one fearing sickness, the other thinking you’re weak to take time off when sick. On top of my own guilt, this isn’t helpful.
I spent 15 years in a job where my offspring in hospital on death’s door wasn’t a good enough reason to be allowed time off. It doesn’t help to have had that donation in one’s work life.
I’m going to try to relax! To believe that sick leave is there for a reason, and I wouldn’t make a sick person go to work, so I should care for me with the same consideration. Hmmm.
You have a heart of gold. I love chicken soup! I too would bring you something, although it might be cheesy pizza, as I don’t cook as much as I used to. Truth be, since there are no progenies (yes, great English 😂) I don’t feel like I have a reason to. I work a lot too so my time is precious and often I choose fun over cooking. I cooked last night though, while I had enough energy to. I hope it helps that I ate well. I found honey mustard chicken drum sticks in the freezer from a past effort, so not too much cooking, only the veggies.

ParticipantI am sick. Jeez.
At least I have a cleanish oven to warm food up in. Not that I’m all that keen on food.
Happy cheery SadSoul 😣
NotSoSadSoul
ParticipantI’ve decided to put distance between me and the oven now. I’m taking a page out of your book! I can’t budge the bit on the bottom and I don’t have a chisel 😂
NotSoSadSoul
ParticipantI’m so glad you posted this and that I read it. I forgot about the oven and it’s sprayed with caustic oven cleaner. Not sure it would have survived being left much longer.
I have cobwebs in its door. How on earth do spiders get inside an oven door??
NotSoSadSoul
ParticipantI wonder if that’s part of why I was genuinely worried he might make it a thing. I used to do this too, but I fairly much only have conversations with co workers these days, and there’s nothing I could ever say that would come close to the shizz they talk about 😂 I have to tell them enough 😂
I knew some deeply Christian people that I accidentally said f*ck in front of. The horror I caused. It made me feel so bad. I prefer to go with the idea that people who swear are more honest 😂 😂
I just sprayed my stupid oven for the third time it’s so dirty. The progeny stayed for a few months way back and I only looked at it recently. Not that my oven is every spotless but this is a whole other thing. I need a chisel!
NotSoSadSoul
ParticipantA bit of both. At the time of the mentioned thing the fellow did a double take which made sense when he said the other. I am a bit anxious there could be repercussions but also thought it was funny.
NotSoSadSoul
ParticipantThat’s so amazing you sang. I’m too chicken to buy I love music.

Participant<p style=”text-align: left;”>The good laugh wasn’t with the electrician, it was after he left 😂</p>
NotSoSadSoul
ParticipantThank you. Now I’ll give you something to laugh at – warning mentions merrry jju @nna
I got the oven fixed today and the dude was very chatty. I mentioned, back in the teenage days of one of my offspring that they nicked my coffee grinder and they denied it, but I knew as they used it to grind their stuff up. 20 minutes later the electrician told me he was a police man for 20 years.
Honestly don’t think I could put my foot in it any deeper than that. Utterly gobsmacked. Slightly worried 😂 but also had a good laugh.

ParticipantThrowing all caution to the wind, personal life post: one of my floofbreads ripped a toenail off about six weeks ago. The animal hospital said to bathe, antibiotics, and pain relief. It still hasn’t grown back so we’re going for another visit. I hope it’s alright. It’s a lovely animal hospital. They like it if you take all the floofs so the sick one has its friends. Pray for us plz?

ParticipantChanging something in just one person’s life, a kind word or action or understanding, it creates a ripple that spreads out beyond the small deed of kindness. If each ripple touches just one person, there are more ripples created. You’re doing it, Anita. But I get the desire for the whole world to be love, not the mess so much of it is.
I’m glad you got to feel the opposite to your stupid mother’s criticism. She’s just dum.
That’s a lovely sounding verse.
I’m one of those reading. Thank you for sharing.
NotSoSadSoul
ParticipantCorrecting the misunderstanding: (1) I never thought that you were nutty, I think that you are a delightfully funny, witty, unique soul underneath, (or above) the sad. (2) I never thought, not for a moment, that you are an oversharing person.
That made me feel special. Thank you.
I feel uncomfortable with such an open-ended invitation
I am sorry. It’s kinda hard to get things right when I can’t see a person’s face and it’s all public and yeah.
Can you tell me what topics you feel safe sharing about, and what topics you feel unsafe sharing about, here in the forums?
I don’t know. I’m really boring and only work and do my sport. I don’t have interesting things to talk about. As I write that, I find myself thinking again that I need to do something about that, only I’m too scared of stepping out side of the steps I take each day.
I’m in a bit of a funk just now. Ha. Something I seem to be perfectly comfortable talking about on this forum. I’ll go and give it all some thought.
NotSoSadSoul
ParticipantTrue that! I thought you thought I was nutty being so shy of sharing. Also I thought I was the over sharing person who didn’t show interest in you. I thought I should turn that around because I am interested!
