[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to moreless]

Driving me to distraction.

Gary

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to gman1961]

The people that you're closest to, have a habit of doing that, but when push comes to shove, you still love them

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to moreless]

It's like through the keyhole wondering who's here.

Gary

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to gman1961]

Ha ha I remember that well although recently I've had a 34 yr old toddler 😉 Hang on in there so many happy milestones to come x

[kittykat1603 7lbs in reply to Cat33]

Funnily enough Cat, I’ve been chatting to my friend tonight and she works for a 40 year old toddler, by all accounts they get worse with age 😂 as for the 2 year old, she is angelic 95% of the time x

Gosh there is a lot behind those few words Gary.

Hope the steam has settled.

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to Ceals]

Steam coming out of the iron as well.

Listening to some music always helps.

Last night after work, daughter's dinner and putting clothes in the dresser I put on a t shirt, plaid pajamas and my work compression socks.....my mil said, "you really sex it up at night for your husband!!!"

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to Hidden]

It's like open house here,

And it's all free.

Gary

[Hidden]

You said it!!

[Hidden]

sorry Gary - I am laughing, cos what comes to mind is "you can choose your friends but not your family"

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to Hidden]

No wonder my blood pressure is up .

That's so true.

Lol.

Gary

[Hidden]

We can also change that to spouses!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kiwikyd-nz]

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to kiwikyd-nz]

Good job I'm concentrating on the ironing ,or else my holiday clothes would be scorched.

Gary

[kiwikyd-nz in reply to gman1961]

Want to come and do mine?

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to kiwikyd-nz]

Gary

[kiwikyd-nz in reply to gman1961]

lol. I should have said the ironing sorry.

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to kiwikyd-nz]

So should I ,

Well chilled now nearly done don't you like ironing ?

Gary

[kiwikyd-nz in reply to gman1961]

Not particularly. Spring/Summer here now so hubby wears polo shirts. No ironing

[Hidden in reply to gman1961]

Hi gman1961 . My daughter is 30 and been back home for 1.5 years and lives like a teenager. 'Does sweet quirky things for me but nothing practical. Hubby has MS so everything is down to me. The situation drives me to distraction so I feel your pain. Sorry just joined in your rant.😝😝 I love her to bits but OMG it's hard sometimes. Hope things have settled and you have a great holiday.😎🌞

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Kazzi56,you have your hands full.

At times it seems that I go from one drama to another .

Take care.

Gary

[Hidden in reply to gman1961]

You seem to have your coping techniques in place. Hope the drama settles for you. Take care too.

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to Hidden]

It varies ,think I was meant to be sent these things to try me .

You take care as well .

Thanks for your reply .

Gary

[gman1961 Restart April 2024]

Not bad then.

Shirt and tie in day so got to iron everyday .

Cold here at the moment.

Gary

[Cat33 Restart Dec 2023]

Whenever you post you get us all talking Gary and we all identify with your words

[Active_43]

😂

[Needtodosomething]

I hear you Gary!!

And well done for the shortest rant known to man! 😂

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to Needtodosomething]

It wasn't short when I was going on about it lol.

Only when I posted .

Thanks

Gary

[Hidden]

Oh dear! Families are the pits sometimes! As an only child I had great fantasies about having lots of brothers and sisters and how lovely it would be! I now have one brother in law - who is lovely but in very small doses! Take deep breaths, put yourself first and try to enjoy your break!

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you Russet,

Can't wait to get away,just hope there is no drama or phone calls.

Gary

[DRS54]

You teaser! Families are great, especially at this time of year. Or are they threatening to cook the wrong Xmas dinner or having too many parties you are invited to? Good luck with your defence tactics.

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to DRS54]

Thanks DRS64,

They have a total lack of understanding ,and respect.

Rant over .

Gary

[DRS54 in reply to gman1961]

Sorry to hear that, Gary. Seems like time with friends is needed - good luck.

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to DRS54]

Thanks

Gary

[MrNiceGuy]

I hear you, gman1961.

While friends can be chosen, for the large part, you’re very much stuck with family.

[gman1961 Restart April 2024 in reply to MrNiceGuy]

Very true

Gary
