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

Hi @Lostboy That is awful what your sisters said and please don't believe them. Beauty means nothing if the person inside isn't nice. You sound like a nice person from what I have read on here and that is what counts in the long run. I have met good looking people and their personality was ugly and it didn't take long for them to actually look ugly. Often siblings say awful things like that, but in reality they are not true.
Do you have any interests/hobbies? Or are you feeling too depressed to have an interest in anything? I know how that feels.
Please don't feel that you can't express how you feel on here, that's what we are here for, to listen and hopefully help you not feel so alone.
Hi @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member @TAB and anyone else who is on here today. 
It is super hot here today and I am finding it extremely difficult to be motivated to go out. I know I need to, but I am feeling so knocked out from yesterday, the upsetting phone call, a very uncomfortable incident with a controlling b#### of a teacher at school and then seeing all those people last night. I know I'll get over it, but it is so draining.
Anyone for a cuppa? I've had 3 coffees and 4 mini Cherry Ripes so far, hehe! So much for being healthy, I am usually more disciplined.

Hi @Appleblossom This one is after power and is very nasty to everyone. No one likes her at all. She is a bully. I hate seeing people like that get away with it. I have heard the way she speaks to the students, totally unecessary. Very intimidating, rude, nasty, a real bully. Funny thing is schools are anti bullying, yet she is bullying. I wish I felt well enough to report her, I am hoping that I will feel up to it some day.
Oh I am still bothered by her. I really need to not let people bother me, it's hard.
I hope that you enjoy your afternoon Appleblossom. I need to see what we have for lunch or motivate myself out for lunch.
