Something’s not right

Riding a wave

Riding a wave

Hi all,

@CherryBomb, @Former-Member or any other @Former-Member floating around Forum Land, will you ride a wave with me? I thought I would be fine doing something...but it turns out that the something has made my big feelings BIG and now I'm in a pickle...and there's nothing worse than a pickled turtle! I'm going to go and snuggle in my bed so I probably won't actually respond to you, but it will still super help me to know that I am not utterly alone on the wave. I don't want to tag anyone else because I don't want anyone to feel they need to respond. Thank you in advance for riding with me.

Seriously, I have to emphasise how really awesome I think it is that we both frequently appear to be in the same place at the same time doing similar things! So together but not @Phoenix_Rising 🙂

Re: Riding a wave

ok you 2 connected but not connected not-friends @CheerBear @Phoenix_Rising - as I am the odd one out here lol - I will follow whatever you two decide - seeing as I am still yet to begin reading ANY of the manual apart from the front cover (hahaha little Phoenix is still sitting on the unopened book looking at me ) I will follow your lead (as long as you do not lead me too far into the cave where I cannot find my way out again @Phoenix_Rising lol)

Re: Riding a wave

@CheerBear You are right - I AM sitting in DBT Adventure headquarters. I super super super love the fact that you are too!!!!

I think that probably is bits of my brain in your pocket.

Do you have WordPad on your computer? It definitely seems to be the program that is best friends with Forum Land.

I really can't process a lot at the moment, but just copying the bit from the manual verbatim has been calming. I will post it shortly.

Re: Riding a wave

@Zoe7 You are definitely not the odd one out! Odd, maybe, but not the odd one out - eek, I'm being disrespectful and offensive again.

I haven't read your post of last night yet due to the fact that most of my brain is currently at the bottom of @CheerBear's pocket, but I definitely will look at it later.

Re: Riding a wave

LOL - I love it when you are being - uh hum - disrespectful and offensive - especially when you are spot-on @Phoenix_Rising - me, odd - yep you got it

It may take you some time to retrieve the parts of your brain at the bottom of @CheerBear's pocket (and I presume she will need to weave it back together too) so definitely no need to get to posts until you are ready - I do understand that 'Turtle Time' runs on a different clock that forum or real life time

Re: Riding a wave

I'm looking forward to reading it @Phoenix_Rising 🙂

I do think it is important to nut this stuff out before racing in to the skills. I hope you find it helpful. There's a safe cave if it gets hard (and the SANE helpcentre on speed dial as you said haha).

I don't think I have WordPad on my laptop. I lost SO much of my tech stuff in the big bang, including all of my Office stuff and a heap of uni things. Even turning on my latptop and writing about a text book has been a huge step for me. Maybe the next step will be to look at Office (and into WordPad) again. I might need to pull out some DT skills worksheets to do that bit though 😉 (in saying that, it really has felt good to take these steps)

Re the brains, if I can make a pocket sized mermaid psychiatrist that does no harm, my crocheting ability is definitely at a turtle-brain-putting-back-where-it-belongs level if required 😄

Happy "What's the point Wednesday" Zoe 🙂 I'm going to head out on my "Wow I made it Wednesday" adventure very soon, so I'll catch you both later.

🙂
