Memorygirls - The Matrix Reloaded

crickett1234

Christmassy hamper MUST have a copy of the Muppets Christmas Carol. Absolute must, under all and any circumstances. And Miracle on 34th Street (1947 one) makes me sob every time. Oh, and a nut cracker, and a cd of the music from the ballet. And a cheesy CD of Christmas songs.

Okay, going to make lunch for my grumpy husband, and the back to work.

A lot of you have probably read it, if you haven't be prepared for a long read, and aching sides from the laughter.
Totally brilliant.

This thread is a complete legend - anyone having a pants day should have a mosey on over. Guaranteed to have you spraying tea everywhere.

I have just had a strange experience or a kick up the proverbial from the Universe!:eek:

Went to visit the elderly neighbour of the old lady who died on Monday. Was dreading it as she's very sad, loney and quite frail herself. She tells me to make myself a drink whilst she finishes talking to her daughter AS SHE NEEDS TO TALK TO ME:eek:

The jist of the conversation:
Her: You have been unhappy and unwell.
Me: Yes but am slowly getting over it.
Her: You're looking at this the wrong way
Me: Errr.......
Her: That job wasn't quite right for you ( How did she know about job?)
ME: Errrrr......
Her: Go home and read that book again and digest it - the answers there. I'm now putting out to THE UNIVERSE that it be kind to you.
Just listen properly.

By which time I'm totally freaked but in a nice sort of way. I'm not sure what it means(yet) but it's certainly given me food for thought.

That is *amazing*. I've had one experience like that - it felt like the consciousness of my guardian angel had entered this man I happened to meet on a train. Truly weird.

Robsmum, let us know what happens/what jumps out when you read the book again.

Oh, MG you naughty girl :rotfl:

Loving the recipes - well most of them - memories of boiled white cabbage:eek:

Can you send me a few Matrix positive vibes please - about to go to a meeting with two people at work I haven't met before but have given me a bit of a hard time by phone/ email. Bit scared!
