'but I know how fast you drink'
sorry Lazy but I felt like highlighting this particular comment. Perhaps a subtitle for the Chatterbox. "The GGB Chatterbox - 'but I know how fast you drink'"
Back to the Future is moribund. Now Top Gun. A very manly film that I loved as a young tween. Motorbikes, jet planes, what is not to love?

In a weird way (sorry to open up on all this) I kind of feel that - even though my mum died last year and her funeral was in November, it still isn't through.
Usually you have a funeral, and a wake, and the funeral's bad and you have this wake where ... it's sort of a release, almost, and after that there's - well - you go on to deal with things but a significant part of it all is behind you.
We didn't have a wake for my mum because of the Covid-19 restrictions. So there's going to be a 'memorial' event, some time this year, and we also have to ... bury her ashes. It feels like, in a way it's all stretched out over a year. And because the memorial isn't a wake, coming after the funeral, it's just going to be like having a funeral all over again, almost ...
But three funerals are better than one I suppose. If they weren't great people wouldn't have them.

Sounds terrible. I feel like I made my weekend of beers and sun sound too perfect. But in fact I did have quite a stressful saturday. My ex-partner found out that I'm seeing someone else now in an unplanned way. She had come round to pick up a painting of hers and saw some clothes of new person that I hadnt realised were there in my bedroom, started questioning me about it and I felt compelled to be honest. We've been separated for 7 months now so I dont feel that bad about it but she was upset and it was really awkward and horrible. ....And then to de-stress on sunday I sat in the sun all day drinking pints and having a nice time. I have a tan and everything.
This is a bad business.
I remember meeting up with one ex-girlfriend after a couple of years. We had some drinks and it was ok really, until she found out I was still with the person I had ... exited the relationship for in the first place.
It went downhill ...

I can't stand my sister, she's a truly awful person. I have to 'bite my lip' when we meet up for family reasons.

[/quote] How did their clothes end up in your bedroom of all places? Did they step in a puddle but had fortunately brought a change of clothes in case of wet weather, then forgot to take the wet clothes home with them? |

Yeah its really not that great a situation, also...the person in question is a colleague who I have known for a while. And there were always comments about how she and I got on so well and a bit of unfounded suspicion that there was a 'vibe' between us. Which makes things super awkward now that there actually is something going on and a definite vibe between us. My concience is clear but the ex is making connections that arent there and trying to begin another retrospective debate with me now that she has this information. Ive told her that its private, started a few months ago and Im not engaging with her any further about it. She is the mother of my son though so I have to try to maintain that relationship. But shes angry and upset about it. Ive got myself into quite a pickle, but no regrets.

I can't stand my sister, she's a truly awful person. I have to 'bite my lip' when we meet up for family reasons. I have a visualisation exercise. I visualise my sister standing, as if for trial, on the planet of Krypton. The judgement is passed and she looks up, shielding her eyes at the white light. Then she's trapped in a pane of glass floating into space ... It makes me feel better. I don't think I really want it to happen. I've never looked into the exact ramifications. I mean if it was that bad I'd ask for the judgement to be lifted. |

I have 1 half sister and 3 step sisters since a young age and not close to any of them in a meaningful way. I dont know much about whats happening in their lives. I have a good relationship with both mum and dad, though they have been separated since I was 7.
If any of my sisters tried to give me any grief I wouldnt hesitate to tell them to fuck off though. Siblings dont get to tell other siblings what to do or make arsey comments, thats how I always thought it worked....?

sandybahookie, your ex probably thought she still had a hook in you for a possible future kindling of the relationship, only to find out you have moved on and the hook was only imagined by her.

Yeah I do really wish she was feeling happy and looking forward but shes always had a tendency to get stuck on things from the past and go over and over them. |

I was with my parents until I was 18 months old, then passed around the family like pass the parcel.
Then at 3 years old I was placed in Dr. Barnados, this arrival was my first memory.
My parents though divorced by then still had contact with me amicably.
I had no biological siblings only the children I grew up with.
I moved from Dr. B at 12 and ended up in another kids home until I was 15, then I had my own Room in a house opposite.
I knew my mum and dad until they passed and I knew my aunt and cousins for a breif time up to 15.
1 cousin went to the Falklands and then emigrated to Australia.
The other was a serving Police Officer until they also emigrated to Australia.
No idea what happened to my Aunt. (or care in truth).
sorry for the life history chat.

Cheese on toast. One slice with Red Leicester. The other with mature cheddar. The Red Leicester was nicer.

Women do have an amazing ability to remember the slightest detail from minor events from years back. My companion/friend does this to a T. |
