Introduction

Hi guys I am new here but just skipped over introducing myself and threw myself straight into the forums so let's rewind a minute.

I was diagnosed with Bipolar Affective Disorder in 1990. It changed my life and not in a good way. My mother said "now you will never do anything with your life" and my Aunt said "we should put her in an institution". It was right then that I decided that I would live the best life I possibly could with this illness. I since met and married my husband and we had 3 gorgeous children who have all now reached adulthood. I have been in and out of hospital a lot since around 2008 and somewhere along the way had BPD added to my diagnosis. I enjoy art and crafts, playing computer games and watching tv. I was working with a psychologist and we were going to work on childhood trauma as I grew up in an abusive household but I kept getting sick so we are currently on a break. Not sure if I want to go back to therapy at this point in time. Not sure what else to add so I will just leave it here. Feel free to ask questions x

Glad you liked. @Glisten . Bless ya mate. Been on Sane a couple of years and always thought it needed just a few more smiles.

So . . Been watching you. Boots up on the table, stabbing one eyed stairs round the saloon from the rim of a low slung slouch hat, and polishing that hand cannon till it @Glisten s. I aint quite got ya pegged. Black smith , carpenter, bounty hunter..?

All 3 I'll bet. You make the pine boxes, make the guns, n then use em to fill the boxes...

Damn girl, Thats just plain cold.

well 5 card draw, aces high, who's dealin..

Hey @Oaktree Don't worry about the flow of the story. Hell, I don't even understand the BS, I write. Can even change story at a moments notice if you wish.

Same as playing cards. Nothing, sad n serious, unless it fiction.. Crises free zone .. You said you like to write.

whenever you want to spin a fanciful tale, mate, no judgements, just press the go button on your pencil n hang on for the ride.

OH Late word from our sponsors. No animals, or children were killed in the production of all these posts. . . Happy trails hombres..

Introduction to Six Neds in Search of an Author

Narrator: What TG @tonys couldn’t see was @LeChuck cleverly disguised wearing a false room.

@tonys : @LeChuck I didn’t recognise you in that false room!

@LeChuck : Well I was only wearing it to keep the rain off. I wouldn’t wear it out of doors, of course.

@tonysIntroduction: Of course. Let me help you off with it.

@LeChuck : Thank you. Good heavens! We’re outside and it’s raining in the direction of down!

@tonys : We’d better put your room on in the direction of on!

@LeChuck : That’s better. It’s much warmer with this direction on. Now TwoGuns, pull up a chair and sit down.

@tonys : I’d rather stand, if you don’t mind.

@LeChuck : Pull up a floor then

@tonys @Glisten @LeChuck @Sophia1 @Shaz51

So the cut throat gang aka @tonys smelly relatives finished licking the bbq beans off their fingers. They used Meggles’ curtains as napkins afterwards. Then they got up to go looking for Tonys two guns. Little did they know that Tonys two guns and his cronies had taken a little ride in a room that was actually a time machine.
Next thing ya know a mysterious square turns up in the middle of the street. The room was back and out stumbled Tonys two guns, the Sheriff, Meggle, Sophia and Shaz. They looked dazzled by the sunshine. Where had they been? It wasn’t clear but they all looked a little confused! The cut throat gang approached Tony’s two guns…

@tonys, an intermission in the Broadcast.
My father’s preferred education for me was a radio show, called The Goon Show.

“Would you like to sit? Pull up chair.
“I’d rather stand if you don’t mind.”

”Well, pull up a floor.”

@LeChuck Le what are your Diplomas? Where did you get them?

In response to: Re: Introduction

Re: Introduction

Ahhh, Well thats clever @Oaktree I do remember the goons but never had the time to delve. I did notice the change in format.. Like a script. Well It doesn't matter where you get your toys.

So long as your playing. I think play helps turn back the aging clock in us.

The things I do to the English language, are nothing short of war crimes. Can't find a word. . .

I just make one up. Thats why no one in rehab will play scrabble with me anymore.

I like your, have a go style mate.

OH 6ft 5 n a couple of feet round I guess. . . . Well just in case your measuring me up for a pine box. Less of course you put me through the mincer,,

Sleep well my fun friend. pistols at dusk. Oh if you get a chance can you pick up @Oaktree s, curtains from the laundry please. Ran out of news paper in the dunny..

Hey there lovely buddies!

I've only skimmed the posts but, 1. Loving it, and 2, glad you're all still well and a bit nuts, me too!

@tonys good to know there's no blood feud, I'm revived better and more powerful than ever, as a cyborg and you were just being your ragamuffin self if a little darker than sometimes. Now that I've got some perspective I'm kinda loving the dark side. Honestly I reckon it's pretty impressive that you've lived in my china store for so long without smashing a plate. Don't worry though this plate went into the wormhole and came out as good as new. Tell you what you'd better check yourself before you go in for an arm wrestle though. 100% steel cable in this arm. @Oaktree SO intrigued by this square. I mean, we are just getting wild in the wild west. I'm half robot and now we're flaunting the space time continuum. Obsessed. And @Glisten landscape design and horticulture. Probs an anonymity risk down the track there because I intend to be Australia's most famous, celebrated, and openly bipolar designer some day, but let's worry about that in 10 years once I achieve it hey? For now I'd much rather share achievements with friends and be a lil proud of myself!

Still having issues, but I'm getting done what I need to get done and I'm working on myself and what else can you try and do?

Love to you all xx lechuck
