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 again @Former-Member 
No need to apologize @Former-Member but thank you anyway. Keep doing what you are doing. I probably wont be online much this week, I have to finish off my assignments for the volunteer program, two specialists appointments and my best friends anniversary this week(two years since she passed away).
And also trying to spend as much time with another best friend who has terminal cancer and also putting in paperwork for university for next year. I'm just a bit unsure what I want to do. I just have to do what makes me happy because life is too short to be doing anything that does not make you happy or is not align with your own values and what is important to you.
Just enjoy what what you have @Former-Member and grab life with both hands- you can do this!!!

Hi @BlueBells Thanks for your message and concern. I'm glad to hear that you realized that you didn't deserve to be abused. Sounds like you have made the right decision.
Thankfully I'm not being abused.
How has your weekend been? I've been out shopping again, seem to be doing that alot lately. Didn't get to do a food shop unfortunately. Had a big lunch out though, still full.

Hi @Lostboy How has your weekend been?
You asked me a couple of things. One was, do I suffer from depression? Yes, I do, plus I struggle with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), anxiety and chronic fatigue etc..... I don't mind you asking. May I ask what you struggle with?
You also asked, where would I like to travel? Umm! Everywhere, hehe! There are so many countries I'd love to visit. I guess Scandinavia, I'd love to see Europe, New Zealand, US, Canada, lots of places. I have travelled overseas before. The last trip we did overseas was a cruise to the Pacific Islands. Haven't been anywhere much for quite a while, a 3 night trip to the Gold Coast was the last trip, 2 years ago. Definitely time to go somewhere.
Have you travelled much or would you like to? It's not on everyone's list and that's ok.
How is everyone this evening? @Kurra I guess you must be heading off to work soon?
@Former-Member How have you been?
@Bec How are you?
@Former-Member Are you Ok? Has your weekend gone well?
@Former-Member How was the wedding?
Mr @TAB Is it tomorrow you head off again?
How's @Decadian?

Hi @Former-Member

I bought this amazing exercise machine this week. It's called Lifeback 2, Cardiotech. Good for circulation, detoxing, metabolism, bones, muscles etc...... overall health. Only need to spend 10 minutes a day on it, more if you like. Anyway, seems to be really good.

You're sounding very lol ly this evening @TAB Yes, Scandi novia sounds good. Nice and cold and love snow skiing. Yes, money helps, lol. That's why house swapping would be a good idea. And getting on top of PTSD etc helps as well. I am determined to be well.
I find it quite exciting talking about travelling. Have you been snow skiing? I love ice skating as well.
I guess I should start with a NZ trip, so close, not too expensive. Was hoping to feel well enough to get there in the winter that just finished, but was not good at all. This year has been really crappy to be honest. New Year, good things.
Time for me to get a cuppa.
