The very first "fictional" rant, written by Rantings of a Mad Woman

Those that can't do... RANT!

Warning; this rant does contain some colourful language. If you're easily offended by expletives, perhaps you want to think twice before clicking on the link above.

**** A very special THANKS to “Teesher” for providing the basis and creative inspiration for this seasonal “rant.” Without that “spark of brilliance,” this rant, could not have been written. ****

Brilliant! Is there to be a sequel telling how she got on?

in reply to Pat9442

Ohhhh, THANK YOU! Pat9442! We'll see.. I'll wait to hear the general consensus as it's my first try at "fiction" and God knows it might be real shite! 🤣 ... but Teesher's idea was so brilliant, I could not let it just sit!

Very clever. Poor old guy. But would Santa swear? ( I know I was warned)

in reply to bunnymom

Yes bunnymom, *laughing* in my world, everyone swears! It's mandatory!

Thank you for being brave and reading... I appreciate it! Now go wash your ears out with soap! xxx

I never used to swear , I was known for my lack of bad language until this illness hit.

So , I think possibly Santa would too.

Maybe , like my family and friends , when he finally did swear , all the elves looked as shocked as they could be , and virtually did a back somersault like the kids do in the ' Peanuts and Snoopy ' cartoons.

in reply to Blearyeyed

Yeah... I think working with children for all those centuries, may have allowed Santa to let loose and drop a few "F" Bombs... I know I would!

I want Santa’s GP. He EXPLAINED things to him in detail .😍

Can’t wait for Santa’s visit to the Rheumy....🤔

Not sure about Sugar Plum, she sounds a bit too good to be true!😉

Love it!

in reply to peace_lover

I know right.. his GP Rocks!

Love this Xmas rant and to find that pmr can stretch even Santa's patience. So funny to hear him swear and that expression on Santa's face perfectly sums up pmr on a bad day. LOL.

in reply to teesher

That is the funniest , sweetest and most poignant story I have read in years , not just on the subjects of PMR and Christmas but as a whole.

You really are an incredible and entertaining writer and maybe the silver lining to PMRGCA isn't just that Sugar Plum Mary got the chance to deliver Christmas but that it inspired you to unleash your talents and entertain us all.

It is wonderful to read , especially when I get to see that their other people out there as bonkers as I am ( with or without the pain and Pred) .

Thank you so much for making my , and many others, sick , dark days so much more bearable. You really don't know how much difference you make to our quality of life .

Hugs . BEE aka VENOM xx

in reply to Blearyeyed

Awe, thank you, you are so kind!!!!!!! I am definitely as "bonkers as you, " if not more.... but misery loves company so thank you for joining me! Thank you also for reading and for your support! xxx

Brilliant! Fantastic! I'll probably be dreaming about it tonight. Hahaha. I love the humour and the swearing. When I suddenly started to swear - usually F-Bombs (occasionally) after diagnosis, my friends and family thought and still think it's hilarious.

I also love Santas GP. Why can't all GPS be like that?

You're so talented.

You may say it's your over-active imagination but that's exactly what goes towards making a great writer.

I can't believe it's your first venture into fiction writing - please keep going. I can't wait for your first novel!

Thank Fu..... goodness Christmas is still going to happen 🌲☃️❄️🍷🎉

in reply to Footfairy-1

Hahahahahahaha! Thank you Footfairy-1, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for reading and for your support and encouragement. Cheers

Lol that was truly brilliant. Only you could think up Mrs Claus having a crafty fag in the corner it’s surprising she didn’t sneak a bit of cannabis in the cookie jars. For a few minutes of reading I forget everything as I was so engrossed and roared at swearing - you are an amazing story teller.

in reply to Suffolklady

Ohhhhhh thank you Suffolklady!!! I did originally have Mrs Claus smoking a joint... but thought I may have crossed a line! 🤣 . I am happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for your encouragement and support!
