thanks for all the smiles today Danielle 😄really needed them. I'm on my way to dinner with my sis & brother-in-law... My mom decided to crash, so it'll be a double date with a 5th wheel. I'm hoping drama free, family.... at least the place is yummy. Hope you are having a great day.... you have to tell us about the evil Chihuahuas. My lovely husband calls dogs that size puntables 🏈 (he doesn't really kick them)

Love your husbands name for Chihuahuas. My ex called dogs that size drowned rats, mind you he was usually referring to Yorkshire terriers but considered all small dogs to be the same.

Funny that I just filled out the review on iTunes and said pretty much the same thing. Supportive people that become friends. Safe and supportive environment where we can share without shame or embarrass. Everyone is here for the same reason and people are compassionate and caring.

Thank you.

When I first joined I felt a little strange as I wasn't sure if I belonged. Now, after only a week I feel like part of the community. That says a lot about the people here.

Thank you everybody for creating a community where I feel I belong and safe , as well as a place that i enjoy coming to.

You know the most supportive people are the ones who need it themselves. And yes that's why we're here. It's nice to have a place to go where you can find people who understand you when everyone else around you has no idea what your going though. You can't even explain it to them. When you do they can't see it. They think there 4 or 5 little words should make it go away. Or they think we're crazy. They don't understand

in reply to Blabla4joy

You're right, it's amazing that everyone here understand what you're going through, talking to someone who gets it usually make me feel better

I tried to fix my car not sure if I have managed.

My dog just ate the magnolia plant in the back garden.

Later I might go buy a new kettle bell and have a swing.

No other plans yet.

Last weekend I was cleaning the inside of my car. I went to start the engine and the driver's window just opened on it's own. It wouldn't shut, then it started raining, heavy rain too. Luckily my Dad had a big plastic bag handy. It then took him and his friend an hour to work out how to get my window shut. After they worked out the switch was broken. :-D I was at my parents caravan with them at the time. On my way home I had to stop for an accident on the motorway. There was me sitting there at the front of the queue hoping that the police would just wave me through when it was safe to go and not come and talk to me, cause I knew I couldn't open my window. :-D

Dad found a replacement switch for me at a local scrap yard, so it is all good now. :-D

Never a dull moment round here. :-D

Great to see your post and that you are in a good place. i kind of don't want to talk about how anxiety sucks anymore, fed-up doing that. Would rather talk about something positive instead. :-D

I was playing football (or soccer as Americans call it) with a group of kids on Friday afternoon in the rain. :-D I don't do football so it was a laugh. Managed to save a couple of balls and got covered in mud. Had to go and sign on that the job centre afterwards and got some really strange looks from my work coach because or my wet hair and muddy exercise trousers. So glad she doesn't see me after usual volunteering on a Friday, I come home covered in glitter and felt tip pen marks from that.

What is it about kids that they seemed to get more pen on me and the table than the paper they are supposed to be drawing on? :-D

in reply to 20Voices

I've been seeing some positive posts specially yesterday, even the private messages are good. Lol football? Did u score anything?im glad you had a little fun hun

20Voices in reply to

No I was rubbish at the scoring. The boys remembered me from a couple of weeks ago and said they didn't want me on their team cause I was rubbish. :-D

One boy try to get the ball from me, so I put my foot on it. He kept kicking it and I just picked him up. He gave me a row and told me that was not in the rules. :-D

We all went home covered in mud, one of the men slipped and ended up with the back of his t-shirt and even the back of his head splattered with mud. That was with the field not being muddy either. :-D

in reply to 20Voices

😂😂😂 lol why you cheating, next time you'll get banned since you didn't score nothing, i would have recorded this if i was there lol

20Voices in reply to

I know, but I couldn't resist. Even managed to fool him into going to collect the ball when it was kicked over the other side of the field we were playing on. I pretended that I was watching to make sure he was not going to sneak past me and he ran past me anyway. When he realized I was not chasing him for the ball he was already at it. I was still where he had ran past me smiling at him. :-D It got him a bit of exercise so it was win win.

The boys were laughing at me when we headed back to the car park and I thanked them for my exercise. :-D

It was good to here them laugh and see them having fun.

in reply to 20Voices

Broken car windows and getting covered in mud, any other disasters you want to tell us about 😂

Not at the moment. Mind you I am just waiting on the postie or the door to door sale people falling as they take a shortcut over the half finished path that I am laying in my front garden. :-D

It will probably end up being me falling on my butt the next time I go out to the car. :-D

MelonBerry123, I have had the broken little toe a few time when I have stubbed it off a door or the sofa in the house :-D

I promise to give you all a laugh on the 3rd of September when I take part in the walk over the new bridge they built over the River Forth. The new bridge is called the Queensferry Crossing and as part of the opening celebrations for the bridge they had a ballot of the places available for walking the bridge. "That doesn't sound too bad" I hear you say, well I am scared of heights and sometimes feel sick just going up the ladder into the loft. :-D I also hated going over the old bridge (call the Forth Road Bridge) as a kid as I always ended up travel sick when we crossed the bridge on the way to visit my Gran.

In 2015 when I was feeling really bad and going through a phase on not wanting to be in the house and decided to walk the Forth Road Bridge. Took me 3 hours to walk over it and back, I am sure the people walking the bridge that day thought I was mad. I am surprised no one sent the bridge security team out to get me. When I got to the middle of the bridge I was muttering to myself, "just one more step" with every step I took. I could feel the bridge bounce a little with every lorry and bus that passed me. Felt really please when I made it across and then I realized I had forgotten to lift my purse so I had to walk back. :-D

Yes, I will admit it I am a crazy Scot. :-D I go up church towers even although I have a fear of heights. I was on holiday and I climbed up the spiral stone staircase in the church only to discover that the last 20 steps, yes I did count them, was a wrought iron staircase the type where there is no back board and the trend has circular holes drill into it. I have a fear of steps like that as well. So there I am going up these steps, with my fear of heights and fear if these steps couldn't go back down because of the people behind me and the stupid church bell chimes to mark the quarter hour well I screamed and clamped my hands to the railing. My sympathetic husband was laughing so much he got a stitch in his side. :-D Just as well the view was worth it. Needless to say 15 minutes later the bell chimed again and we heard someone else scream with fright. :-D

Now that I have you all rolling about laughing, I am off to amend my CV in the hopes that I can find a job now that I am well enough to start working again. :-D

I have lots of other stories to share when you are all needing a laugh to cheer you up again.

Take care all and have a great day. Mmm maybe I should change my username to CrazyScot. :-D

Yes I'm a bundle if joy really.

You won't be cracking anything of mine by the way 😜

No harm in thinking 😁

Just as well you don't think much then 😀
