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 Thankyou for your reply. I have been wondering how you are. I'd love to be your big (older) sister. Hehe! I'm a shorty, so I can't be your big sister. 
I understand that, what your sisters said was very hurtful and would have hurt your confidence alot. I hope that in time your soul will heal.
You have alot of hobbies. I know what it's like to not have motivation. Hard to do the things that we once enjoyed. I have been low for so long, that I don't know what I enjoy anymore. My daughter keeps me going regardless. Like you, I do enjoy walking in the rainforest or at the beach, but only in winter/autumn, as the other seasons are too hot for me. I would like to travel when I feel well enough.
It's good to see you on here. I'm glad that you feel comfortable chatting to us all.
I'm feeling quite flat today/tonight and don't really know what to say, but I just wanted to let you know that I read your message, thanks.
Hi @Kurra 
Thankyou for call out this morning. Not the best today, feel slightly better this evening. I hope that you had a lovely lunch and that work goes well for you tonight.
Hi @Shaz51 Did you work today?
Hi @Former-Member Are you happy with your hair colour/cut?
Hi @TAB 
Did you enjoy your afternoon at the pub? I think that's where you said that you were going. Hard to keep up on here sometimes.
Hi @Faith-and-Hope I hope that your travels are going well.
Hi to anyone else who is about tonight. I better go and see if our dinner is ready.

Mood pretty crappy all the time lately, lol @TAB. Have increased exercise a little, just recently. I'm sure that will help in the long run.
Hugs to you @Former-Member Any idea what has made you feel vulnerable today/lately?
Just another day for me. I'm a bit of a bore, lol. Wasn't going to say anything on here today/tonight.

Lol. That's what alot of people used to call me "shorty" @TAB. Not much anymore. Now it doesn't bother me, but when I was younger, I hated being short.
