Good Morning!

[HenryX]

Hello @StuF 

Thank you for your comment and greeting. I've still been around and connecting with people. However, some of the people, with whom I used to correspond fairly frequently, have left, taken, or are taking "leave". I have noticed less activity in areas where I was most often accustomed to posting and responding. This may simply be part of the cycle of activity on the forum.

I hope that I have not contributed to the wish of others to be absent. However, that might just be a statement showing my own insecurity. In the forum and, in line with its function and purpose, I endeavour to be as open, honest and true, in my statements of thoughts and feelings, as I can, to other members and to myself.

Sometimes, I am concerned that other members may find my posts to be too long and detailed for their liking. But, then I think, that if the content, length, presentation and detail of my posts, is not to other members', or another member's liking, they can simply move on, and seek that which appeals to them more.

What I have just written is a statement of my thoughts and feelings at various times, quite independent of your comments, @StuF . I have just "pinched the opportunity" to state them in response to the inclusion in your comments, of the reference to "large (and useful!) posts!". I assure you that I appreciate your reference to "useful" and consider the reference to “large”, to hopefully refer also, to being as complete as possible. I hope that my posts and comments are so, for you and others at various times. Often, what I write is also helpful to me, in a cathartic sense and in making clear and ordered statements, on various issues, that may be of interest to and, or concern for others and me as well.

With Much Appreciation for Your Comment and Greeting, @StuF 

and

My Very Best Wishes

@HenryX 

Keep doing you!

I'll admit that sometimes I need a long run up (as in fast bowler) to approach your posts, but they're always worth it 🙂

@StuF😊👍

Yeah @StuF
Got my coffee. Got a cookie too. Lime and macadamia.
Feel really average and sad. Depressed.
Just eating lunch and watching 8 out of 10 cats does countdown.
I'm really hurting at the moment. I must say.
I know many are.

Hi @MDT 

Biscuit sounds good! How do you take your coffee? (I'm a cappucino person meself). Not that it matters, just curious 🙂

8 out 10 cats (and countdown) is awesome. So sad about Sean Lock. I only came to know him in the last year or so, but damn he was funny. Big loss 😞

Thank heavens for YouTube

There Is a lot of hurt going on, but that doesn't lessen your pain, I'm sure. What works for you? Or at least, what Has worked for you?

You've been having troubles with work and study- any closer to resolutions?

I'm not so great on suggestions, especially when I don't know you well.

One thing I read recently- if you feel like screaming, then do it. As loud as you can...

...disclaimer: I have Not done this myself, but I can see it being useful. Seriously.

@Former-Member  I have silver streaks too. I dont mind the lines I have worked hard for them 😄 Oh god son2 is raving again. I better go....... talk soon.

[MDT]

Indeed @StuF
Its a great show. Very clever and lots of wit. Yeah he was 58 I think. There are a lot of YouTube tributes to him. Seriously funny man haha.
I have flat white extra hot. I always have extra hot so I don't need to consume it as fast. Or else it's too cold to drink. Yuck.

I have gone into hyperdrive this arvo. Just lots of bad practice and convoluted processes involved in things which should be simple. Doing my sick leave for way back in June. Ridiculous. It's a merry go round.
Then there is what I am doing today. Task wise - I have limited information to use. I either don't get enough information from people or I get too much. There's no middle ground.
Absurd.

I got angry and hit my mattress. At least it's soft lol.
Didn't hurt my hand/arm

[StuF]

@MDT 

He had Sooooo many great lines! 🤣

Yep, cold coffee = bad (unless it's iced coffee of course!)

That all sounds Extremely frustrating!!! When do you escape?

Hey, what did your poor mattress ever do to you?? (jokes)

Good morning how is everyone doing today 😊❤️
