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

Pretty good thanks @LeChuck

I joined a social group for women and made a post yesterday (it’s on Facebook) I got so many responses from local women wanting to catch up for coffee. Met up with one this morning. I am going to go to the canasta group at our local library on Saturday mornings after Easter so I am currently sitting at the dining table trying to teach myself to riffle shuffle. Once I get the first part (if I do) I will try to also do the bridge. I looked up a tutorial on YouTube.

Come to think of it shuffling might come in handy at the saloon.

What are you doing?

Hi @Shaz51

I see you are frequenting our establishment. How are you this fine day?

Take a weight off! @LeChuck please dust off a barstool for our friend. Just pay your 500 pesos to @tonys Shaz. That will pay for your first drink and a pine box should you need one. Pretty rough town you have drifted into here.

Purple sparkly wrapping paper, well ALRIGHT. . . . my kinda drinking scenery.

WISKY. . . . Ah Ah just leave the bottle. .!

No need to dust my stool. Just finished a big plate of chilly beans across the st , Bout 30 minutes, trust me . . . It'll get dusted. No need for renovations. One good bar fight ill

bring the whole joint down.

Now I have a complaint. . . I came for breakfast here and forgot my spectacles.

You leave the spittoon on the bar, and your coffee cups are the same size,

Actually I withdraw my complaint. Now I think about It, It did taste better than the

coffee . . . . Just do an old timer a favour and take the cigar buts out next time.

So now you Know why I only come out late at night. You meat a better class of villain in the dark.

Now . . . don't say you weren't warned about the clientele in this establishment.

@Oaktree @LeChuck Hope this tread lasts till high noon tomorrow. . .
