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

Hi @tonys

I think with Tyme's help I have now figured out how to quote so now I will give it a shot.

If you are any thing like me, when your partner

is there, its like two old slippers snuggled up.

My husband and I are indeed like two old slippers snuggled up! We can't manage one without the other. We have been together so long that we know what each other is thinking without the need to verbalise it. We also like to stay no further than a metre apart. I am going to get so lonely when he goes back to work but alas, we have bills to pay. I love him so much. I cannot bear the thought of being without him. God willing he lives a long time. Yours was a very apt description and it spoke to me.

I also loved it when you said this to Sophia1

toon town is built of stern stones with a dream coat render of hopes and dreams.

Arms around each other, we will always find safe refuge in this place.

I love that we have our arms around each other here and I truly hope that we will always find safe refuge in this place of dreams. Life can be so hard at times and we are all going through difficult times and challenges. We need to be so kind to each other. Sensitive souls gather here. We have a mighty responsibility!

Love to all of you @tonys @LeChuck @Sophia1

Home, home on the range, where the deer and the antelope play!

I have this idea about getting a herd of cows out on the range but I am having a bit of a problem. I don't want to brand my cows because I find the practice barbaric. I mean, would you like to be branded? Probably not, right? So why would cows want to be branded. So I think I will microchip my cows. But then how do you easily find your cows when it's time to herd them up. I think the answer is by putting pretty collars on them also. I was thinking leather with pretty white daisies painted on them. What do you fellas reckon?

We need a herd of cows to provide meat for the Saloon and as the lioness says she needs a decent amount of raw bones to be gnawing on.

I think we should also name the Saloon. I was thinking something like Two Bit Saloon, but we can put up suggestions and take a vote if you like.

How are the renovations coming along? I don't think Tonys has done much as he's always into some mischief or other.

I have been getting up to nothing much in the way of work lately. I have been slacking off and not cleaning up the glasses in a timely manner. This is because I have been enjoying Pete and his H Tonk Piano. I have been dancing along and making merry. I take sips out of Pete's glass on top of the piano when he's not looking and I am getting quite drunk. Tomorrow Little Foot is going to play his flute for us again. Big chief will be here to supervise him. No drinking for Little Foot.

@Oaktree do you really think we don't notice your lipstick on our whisky glasses. While your drinking, I'm going through your saddle bags.

Eeeeoouch.... ! ! bloody mouse traps in there. . .

Well a name for the saloon eh . Thats a good idea. remember that Tarantino masterpiece

the hate full 8. . . what was that joint called. Minnie's, I don't even know if toon town stuck. If it did, then some one else has to name the saloon. I have a few cows actually.

Milkers, and one big old bull .

They have little tags in there ears so I can put them through the community cattle dip.

Hands off megs. .. rustlings a hangin offence .!

I have eaten a few goats, but I mostly eat fish and roo's. They are always totally happy

until suddenly there . . . not. . sounds awful , sorry. but the big fellers got to eat.

OH and theres so many chooks running around here, occasionally one flies into the pot.

My pigs are sacred. No one eats my pigs. .

I like the collar idea. . you know , I'm going to give it some serious thought.

I dyed the goats and a couple of the chooks different colours for the last Christmas do

We had here.

Very carefully I ask. . . . how come littlefoot cant have a drink. . ? And I learnt something

No need to wash glasses, just detracts from the flavour.

I did poke my hand through the cage to feed @Sophia1 A chunk of some bible salesmen

and lost my hand in the prosses , Now its just a waiting game till my hand re appears

so I can reconnect it. Hope it comes out with the 5th ace still in it. I gotta bet riddin.

@LeChuck You haven't touched the sandwiches I left on the bar. I don't see the

blow flies complaining. Actually look at the cute eyes on that one. Sweet little blowies

Like the song says. . . they only have eyes for you. . . .

nite all tonys 2guns...
