i encourage you all to join me for some casual drinking, social lubrication and light laughter right here in the beer garden.
Oh and before anyone gets up in arms about alcohol and its dangers the main beer on tap is VB or virtual beer
beer is the third most commonly consumed drink in the world behind water and tea
why not share the worlds joy with friends

Thanks @Former-Member
I am tense today - I don't now about anxious - rather edgy - l have back pain which can get severe and I have had people - including my doctor - think I have anxiety but pain can make it look as if I am anxious I guess because I will sit on the edge of my chair wiggling and wriggling and sometimes have an irrational idea that if I keep walking the pain will fall off my back - and I know it won't
But today I am irritable with those small planes ands yes - one thing I could do is finish up with the books and make a salad sammidge and a bowl of fruit and put a movie on - and I keep going back to those books and sorting them into piles in the front room and I have been doing this between posts
I rang my gd and asked when her Dad's birthday is - she is always helpful to talk to - an amazing young woman - really wonderful and sensitive - just chatted for a few moments about clothes and what to wear to funerals - they are not going btw - I would not expect them to
I think the way I am feeling is normal - but soon I will take a break - thanks for your support - it is well receivedf

Thanks @Former-Member
I will be okay - just edgy and irritable
I think it's time for lunch and a movie - darn those planes - it's the flying school - we had bad weather last weekend and yesterday and I suppose they are catching up with time missed getting their flying hours
This is the truth - they fly over here a lot and I honestly don't hear them until I am talking to someone - either out in the garden or on the phone - I can watch a movie that puts up the dialogue for the hard of hearing if I miss anything. It is weird that I don't hear them much when they are here all the time
Anyway - if that is my main complaint and it seems to be - I am okay - really - just edgy
But thanks
Dec
