    What's on the menu?

    Probably pasta. That's what he usually does. Or maybe pizza if he finds one in the freezer. I don't much mind as long as I don't have to exert any effort in the matter. :)

    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    Definitely supersonic flight closely followed by the power to kill a yak from 200 yards away with mind bullets.

    I have to ask; why, particularly, a yak?! :cool:

    Staying positive but retaining the right to be grumpy.

    Really well done - I guess the fact that the treatment, albeit really intensive, will be over soon does help.

    I find using live chat online where ever it is available is by far the best way to deal with things like this.

    I've always assumed that was just a gimmick - very interested to hear that it works well for you.

    I would like a matter transporter. So I can get places on time. And just get to places.

    Ditto to that.

    Have a dodgy hug in return :grouphug:

    The thing I dislike about mine is that I think they are an inherent part of me, just that perhaps some/ many have been reinforced. Thus whilst I am painfully aware of them I have no idea how to (or even if I can) get past them.

    It's so hard when it's been part of you for so long that the reinforcement is now part of the status quo. It becomes easier to accept that that's the way things are.

    Don't quote, will delete:

    There are risks in going for it, and some in not going for it. Very hard.

    Glad you are getting support through this, Yorkie. Do keep us posted as to how you are coping.

    Didn't see that result coming...

    I'm guessing that the Mexican goalie won't be a free agent for long.

    It would be so handy to pop in and meet/ see NP. On invitation I could see LJ's new house, help Pastures with her move, catch up with LiR, meet Viva,Doozer, Lydia etc.

    There is just a faint chance I may be better at keeping in touch in RL as it would not use up so much energy and effort.

    I'm having my head turned re; superpowers. Invisible time flight's the very thing and I think it willl tick all Spirit's boxes as well.

    Or the ability to turn young people's ingratitude or incompetence into money. Actually that would probably suit all of us. :D

    Maybe it was the groin thrusting that made somebody try to enter your back passage :)


    Fabulous and inspired. I am still smiling!

    At the risk of making myself look like an utter loon that has joined a cult, I know this feeling really well. This man has really helped me uderstand what is identity and what is baggage - what he refers to as our 'script'. If you can find a video link on here that describes what the script is, it's really worth watching. The recharge days aren't all that far away from you (or most of us really) if you fancy a listen and a nice buffet lunch. http://www.theministryofinspiration.com
