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

Great @LeChuck

My turn to be a mother duck. Glad you are ok. Hope @Sophia1 comes back when she is ready and that isn’t too long away. She will be missed in this town of ours.

@LeChuck @Sophia1 @tonys

Going to stop worrying because there is nothing more I can do realistically.

Going back to playing.

Now Meggle’s Meals and Cafe seems to be cooking every day for noone in particular. Noone has put in an order. May I ask that after you consume your meal that you put in a critique or suggestion? Also if there is something you would like to see on the menu please let me know in advance and I will see if I can source the ingredients for it and put it on the menu. I have about 12 dishes in mind to use for the future but would love help devising new meals.

Thanks guys and bon appetite!

Re: Introduction

Hey there @Sophia1 Mate , I slept nearly the whole day.. must be run down. Have to do a poem tomorrow, I was only going to post something from outside the thread because I want it to go to folks

that I know are not into the black humour and free expression on this thread, and posting from the town

may leave a false impression of invitation here.

After my previous experience on land sea motion. coupled with advice from you, I have learned to

be careful. Our town is not very many folks cup of tea. We, and particularly me, push the boundaries here, at times to the edge of the thin ice. Its medicinal for me and I know you guys like to let your hair down here, without fear of judgement... I didn't want to say anything but I new long ago,

this was not something greenpea would like, but wasnt sure what to say...

So for me to send "softer stuff to my town folk friends, as well as the "civilized" , world Its best to do it

from outside the the town.. so its not misconstrued as an invite to "our little town"

We know we are broadminded and tolerant, History shows that... but there are lots that are not

and on Sane that wouldn't like , and then couple that with M H conditions, . . I'm actually surprised

Sane has let me have so much rope...

Lets just say... its been good and I want It to continue. . . Now.... I'm not as good at putting things across as you are able @Sophia1 . and I'm a bit crook, s So I really hoped that came across in the nice way I hoped for.. Wew... well thats done

So just woke and reading. Hope you stayed on your horse @LeChuck and @Oaktree

how was you day, Not all cooking and dishes I hope. Look forward to having a chuckle and a

catch up. Back soon T 2gns

Re: Introduction

Hey @Oaktree I'm always hungry so for me its just a standing order. You've must have seen the big spoon I keep around my neck tied to a leather strap.. ready to go i am.. If someones on my seat

at your establishment, I'll eat them first. . . then your tucker.. and maybe the plate it comes on too.

You know , We have a music day on Tuesday, maybe we should have a day when we swap a recipe or two... Mind you I heat things up till they stop moving, but I still got a trick or two up my sleeve. Feed back required. . .?

@LeChuck Do you cook ? @Sophia1 I don't have to ask. I know you can definatley cook.

O k .. I'm going through posts backwards.. t 2gns..

Re: Introduction

@Sophia1 @Oaktree @LeChuck @tyme WoooowwW there horse.. I said WoooowW Back

3 spaces... !

OY.. . . @Sophia1 .. were are you going...? Tonys will never learn ... . Start from the morning

posts and work forward . . .

I woke up sent a post this morn.. Then set my rod up on the river... n yabby net.

and slept nearly the whole day. . . "bit run down and crook i guess" So woke up for diner.

And My worms gone , my rods gone... My bait buckets gone. . even the wooden spoons gone.

WHAT HAPPENED.... ! O K I'll keep reading.. But may I say something I think I've said a

few times. . . We are mates. . . I dont think we expect perfection from each other or we wouldn't

be here. If our skins can be as thick as our friendship, then we wont have to endure what so many

places do. walking a constant tightrope..

Anyway. I have never seen abuse, belittling , point scoring, etc amongst us 4, so for me its

paradise here with the 4 of us.. I'm popping a cork n setting and up 4 glasses. Just

know its a free country and we come n go as we please. but here. . . .

the drinks are always, on the house... tonys 2gns

Re: Introduction

@Sophia1 O K T 2gns is a bit slow, but Im thinking you didn't realize i was going to post my

silly poem to you, from @Oaktree s patch, No biggy, any way I take my pen for a much needed walk and then I'll send my scrawl to the . . . . . . you know what... I forgot what the paper

is called... I'm An old timer. I have 3 braincells left and 2 arn't talking too each other.

Please dont expect too much from my memory.. old friend. We all luv you heaps @Sophia1

we know you have some dark shadows dancin in your light. matters not to any of us.

We all except each other as we are...

Re: Introduction

@tonys

The paper is called The Greystone Tribune.


I don’t think @Sophia1 dropped the wooden spoon yet.

I hope this helps.

Re: Introduction

Re: Introduction

Yesssss I would love to do a recipe session! I'm super interested in what you guys cook. @Oaktree I reckon you'll have some rippers and @tonys I suspect you know a lot about cooking simple ingredients perfectly. I do cook, I've only got a few interesting recipes though 🙂

Re: Introduction

Let’s do recipe Friday’s. That gives us time to come up with something suitable and it’s not too close to tunes Tuesday.

What do you think?
