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 for acknowledging @Shaz51 There are so many people who get cancer these days.
Sometimes they are not in pain but other times its is excruciating.
@Former-Member I didnt think you were ignoring me at all. Thanks for pointing me to responses .. I just read your message from yesterday .. and about confrontations .. yes sometimes they are necessary .. especially when it is your daughter's well being at issue ... I am conversing with a churchy lady who means well but .. and next topic is to bring up the problem .. of "sorries" without adjusting behaviour .. Ie dont keep stepping on toes please.
and @Former-Member Glad you are posting and getting to know people.
I am finally getting the hang of how others perceive me .. my social situation has slowed down a lot in the last decade .. lol .. ie gone nowhere .. lol .. we need some theory of mind to be able to sense or pick it up .. I dont want to monopolise things .. but have gained a lot by being on this forum as it related to me in so many different ways.
Thank you all .. I feel seen. I will go and do some music and check computer later.
Hope you have a decent night.
