Here we can all be heard for a little while

System

Thank you for all the hugs and kind words.

Foodwise i only have crisps, but sod it right now that will do.

Please don;t feel rubbish code, im sure DH know you do want (cringeworthy phrase ahead) sexytimes, maybe he's just worried if you're in pain you're not in the mood and isn't sure how to approach it? It can't be easy feeling you're being rejected (i've been there) but maybe its more crossed wires than purposely rejecting you?

Happy autumn, folks!

Lovely gentle sunshine here today.

Hugs (((code))) I think MU's right, also I know for a fact that once you get out of a routine of regular "couples time", it's very hard to get back into.

Hope you don't mind me asking, but what is the pain you suffer from? I wasn't on the threads in the early days, so must have missed that.

The regular repost.....

The thread etiquette will be reposted every ten or so pages.
........:starmod:......................................................................:starmod:.....................
Here is the suggested THREAD ETIQUETTE. By following this etiquette, all posters, whether new or existing, will feel safe, unpressured and respected..


!!!But first...............please be assured..................................................................******It should be pointed out that if anyone is feeling very distressed or close to a crisis, they do not have to worry about what they are posting, or whether it is a penguin for someone else or not. (See below about penguins). In a crisis situation, just post! We wouldn't want anyone to feel that they couldn't ask for help in case it's a penguin! The penguin thing only applies to a general discussion situation.******


- This is a thread for support. We have discovered some good friends on here, but we promise always to welcome and include new people, and not to be cliquey.

- People may make suggestions to help each other, and might even ask if the suggestions were helpful or have been carried out, but we'll really try not to nag each other or put too much pressure on.

- The normal board rules about sexism, racism, homophobia etc. apply, but if we are careful we should be able to discuss almost anything without breaching board rules - so far we have discussed subjects ranging from child abuse to incontinence!

-If someone thinks that too much pressure is being applied, they can post the trigger word PENGUIN and flag up the fact that they believe there's a potential for someone feeling too nagged to do something. ANYONE could post PENGUIN if they felt there was a danger that suggestions were being enforced too much.

Similarly, if they want to discuss something that might be a trigger for some people, then posting PENGUIN would be a warning that what follows in the whiteout might be a trigger.


- So, if you think something might be a PENGUIN, please post something like the green bit which follows.

"Possible penguin about.........(type of trigger)" The trigger might be:- child abuse, marital abuse/violence, paranoia, stalkers, death, etc.

Then, when you post, repost the word PENGUIN above the discussion. Then post the penguiny bit in white! And the phrase END OF PENGUIN when you have finished.

It will look like this. You will be able to see the white text if you highlight it or if you quote it, (so please don't 'quote' a post containing a penguin onto the thread!)
(Harmless example follows here):-
PENGUIN

This is a penguin. A nasty, crotch biting penguin (CBP).
It isn't really! So you can look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozGTv0hxhpc[/url]


END OF PENGUIN

(NB on a tenth-page repost of the etiquette, you can see these penguiny words because they are white against the green 'quote' background. On a normal post, they will be white against white, and so won't be seen on the thread.)

IMPORTANT: It has been ascertained that some posters to this thread have found that there are certain subjects which act as triggers, precipitating a worsening of their condition.
To protect these posters, you are respectfully requested NOT to discuss these subjects on this thread:-

Religion. (Please note: it is recognised that everyone is entitled to their beliefs, and we respect those beliefs. It is only because of the fact that religion does act as a trigger for some posters, that we exclude it from discussion.)
N.B. Please don't even mention the name of the religion.

The afterlife. The reason for this is explained in this thread by one poster, and there will be others for whom this is a trigger.

We ask and thank you for your co-operation in this matter.


.........:starmod:.....................................................................:starmod:................

!!!So, to reiterate...............******It should be pointed out that if anyone is feeling very distressed or close to a crisis, they do not have to worry about what they are posting, or whether it is a penguin for someone else or not. In a crisis situation, just post! We wouldn't want anyone to feel that they couldn't ask for help in case it's a penguin! The penguin thing only applies to a general discussion situation.******

- More suggestions please.............We stress that we are suggesting that we AGREE some Thread Etiquette to HELP people who might feel anxious about posting, we are not trying to IMPOSE rules, just relating this to facilitating groups, so that people feel safe and able to participate as fully as they can.

Morning all! :wave:

Hope your tummy is feeling better WaS. The BRAT diet sounds grim; toast and rice I can manage, but bananas and applesauce, ewww! _pale_

Glad the wedding was OK Georgie, the dress is lovely. Vegas sounds like a great idea! I'd definitely suggest getting a scooter for your MIL. Even if you don't sort one before you go, just be prepared with details for where you can rent one from and suggest getting one for a day to see how she gets on... We go to Florida and there are sooooo many people on scooters nowadays because people don't want to miss out on Disney fun just because they can't walk far. My parents go to Florida every year but haven't done the parks for about 10 years as it's too much walking for them; I keep saying they should get a tandem scooter! :cool:

Oh and speaking of holidays I can now say I'm going on my holiday next month! :j Fair enough, we don't go until the 29th October but it's still next month!

Hope Escapee is on the way now Katy! I think s/he'll be here in the early hours tomorrow morning.

Big hugs to Code and MU.

I bring chunky chocolate chip cookies for the fort and hot chocolate to dunk them in!

Morning Team Was. Took my own advice last night and went to sleep.

I go on holiday next week. :j

Code, try not to worry about couples time. Georgie is right, and we are in a similar boat and have been for about 20 weeks now and will be for a while yet. It doesnt mean you are any less close to the person.

Early hours of the morning would be good Birdie! You nearly all got a message at 4am this morning asking you to save me some cake as I had some really strong contractions. They stopped again though So far have scrubbed the floors, hoovered and am about to take Little Sod out to try and start things off again. Failing that I shall be out chopping wood in the rain later!

I am jealous of all your lovely sounding holidays! Too anxious to go far from home for too long, and also Little Sod would have to come with us anywhere, he doesn't get many babysitting offers for some reason!!

I've been looking into possibly renting a scooter, I've found a place that will deliver to any hotel on the strip and it's quite reasonable too. So it's always something we could sort out over there if she feels the need to have one. I was actually quite surprised by how much he scooter usage had increased last time we were there from the time before. Infact I've been doing a lot of research in general as I enjoy planning a rough itinary of things to do! I hope this trip comes off, as I'm wanting to go again now!

Oooo you and code both off on your holidays soon! :j I need to get something booked soon! Where are you both off to?
