Finished work on Friday, don't go back until Jan13th
do you smoke?
I smoked for about 40 years and admitted to smoking 20 a day. Then the doc read the riot act to me. He diagnosed emphysema and told me it is irreversible but carrying on smoking could only mke it worse. I read Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking and stopped and started again. Then i went to one of his organisations half-day clinics. All I will say is
IT WORKED
and I'll recommend it to anybody who really wants to stop.
Do you find elderly relatives can be a pain at Christmas time?
No, I don't have any in NZ, so they are never a bother.
What did Santa leave you this year?
A necklace, a book, a photo frame, an old scarf that make me look like an oldie, a cheap silly perfume, a useless handmade tablecloth.......
And a lot of chocolates.
And 2 shirts that I bought myself with my mother's money.
Nothing that I really wanted or needed :mad: :(
Did you enjoy this Christmas?
My idiot next door neighbours made that impossible. They started playing their stereo loud enough for the whole country to hear at 4pm Christmas eve and despite being warned by the police about excessive noise, they were still going at 6:30 am Christmas morning. They then apparently went to sleep until 11am, then started again. I ended up going to visit them with my favourite old golf club to persuade them to shut the ^%$# up.
What sort of rubbish did you watch on the tele on Christmas day?
Either I didn't watch anything at all or I don't remember....:confused:
Have you ever kissed somebody under the mistletoe on Christmas day?
Yes. Mostly family members sadly. No one exciting.
I haven't been around for a couple of weeks. Are you happy to see me back? (Careful)
Oh, Stevie......The forum without you is like a wedding without fiddlers.
Welcome back. :kiss: :laugh:
What did you do on new year's eve?
Went round a family members and had a nice meal, plenty of chat and saw in the new year together.
Are you religious?
Well, I'm christian orthodox but I don't pray (anymore), don't make confessions and I go to the church only for weddings, christenings amd funerals. I don't question the existance of God ( neither mine nor the God(s) of any other religion ) because I simply feel there's something beyond our senses and knowledge. My religious life is resumed to follow the traditions ( many of them of pagan origin ) like celebrating saints ( meaning lots of parties :laugh:), don't wash laundry on holy days, taking willow branches on Flowers Sunday, etc. Might sound weird but these things can bring me a peace of mind and you know I need it. For ex today we celebrate the christening of Jesus in Jordan river and I'll go to the church and fight ( literally) for a bottle of "holy water". I'll drink every morning this water before eating and although I know it's plain water touched with a silver cross and some basil I feel I do the right thing and feel better. I'm very comfortable with my religion as it's not tough, it's not intruding my life and has mercy for sinners like me. :p Fair to say I also used to be the mystical type and interested in occult issues.
Do you think people lost interest in this forum?
