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

Do you enjoy Christmas with your family @TAB?
What about you @Former-Member? I guess you enjoy Christmas, having 3 boys, you wouldn't get a choice.
I'd love a white Christmas, too hot here. I absolutely loved Christmas when young and lived overseas. Feels more like Christmas when it's snowing.

I'm totally "over" seeing a psychologist @Former-Member, thanks for caring though. xoxo
I feel so relieved that I'm not going back to her. Have had heaps of counselling in the past, was very helpful. But no success with psychologists. Can't be bothered seeing another one, to go over the same things again. I'm used to working on myself, have read alot of self-help books, health books etc.............. Have done some counselling courses as well, so I'll keep plodding along.
