    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
  • Morning all,

    Just surfacing from the Halloween party last night. We got very drunk and played "Have you ever...?" (Not very different from in here, reading back. :D ) I give up at about 11 and went to bed as I was freezing. Even with a nylon cape and witches hat, wearing a corset and skirt wasn't a good idea in that weather. Yes, pics will be posted as soon as I can find out who took them. :D

    I'm just waiting for Bookie to answer Buffy's post last night about Halloween. I'm sure I misinterpreted that 'commercialisation of evil' comment from last night. Bookie's always struck me as an intelligent woman and certainly not the type to think that Pagans are evil. I'm sure I just read the post wrong, that's all.

  • I certainly didn't mean that pagans are evil!
    I just think that the commercial industry has latched on to another money making opportunity which unfortunately focuses on the dark side. I'm all for a laugh and dressing up etc, I just think it's all gone too far.
    Hallowe'en is actually all hallow's eve. The day before All Saint's Day but dressing up as a saint would not have the same money making appeal I expect. :rotfl::rotfl:
    Sorry if I offended anyone.

    Nowt like a good old snog with a random bloke to lift your spirits.........not that I would have a clue about that like:A
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    You didn't offend me, I was just a little worried there. You seemed too smart for that sort of thing, that's all. And you've got a point on it not making as much money, though someone did show up as a priest to our Halloween party last night. All the other people were dressed as witches, I think he missed the memo. :rotfl:

    I believe in the right of the individual to make their own decisions. When we talk about Halloween to the Brownies I always mention that it can be fun but to be careful and respectful of people's privacy etc. I also tell them about Nov 1st so thay get a balance.
    Well done to the vicar guy. :rotfl: Maybe he did get the memo. Sort of thing I would do actualy although I do have a witch hat somewhere.

    Anyway - enough for one year.

    My legs still won't work properly and I have a backache again. Going to go see my pumpkin for a bit.

    Bookie, I want your pumpkin.

    News on the Pint front: yesterday he stayed in with me in the evening and we watched The Incredible Hulk (new film) And then he tried to help me shower..... ;)
    Today, since we've got up we've been cleaning! I did the lounge and part of the kitchen and bedroom, he's done the bathroom and downstairs loo and is going to do the rest of the floors. Thnik I may have got through to him......

    And yes, it is horrible weather here, but the Abu Dhabi GP is on and I have work to do, so we'll both be occupied...apart from the necessity of shopping later.

    I do it all because I'm scared.
