    Oops - I wasn't responding to the constipation conversation. That's no fun at all. It hits me as part of PMT - just what you want when you are already willing to rip the head off the next person who breathes

    I did actually read this as most of the dodgy goblins are on FB. I think I know a few..... :rotfl:

    Hurrah for dodgy goblins :D

    Stoodles, I am actually giggling that your response to hbs larping (which does look like tremendous fun) could be taken as a response to a post about constipation. Like you can't wait to be better so you can stop pooing for days :rotfl:

    I have some fibre caps somewhere which I'll take to help things along. Along with some coffee and some orange juice. WW - Mr monkey is obsessed with ice lollies and has about 5 a day!!

    Funny story - Me and DH were in the park and one of the things we do is to stand far away from each other qnd get DA dog to run between us for exercise. Anyway DA dog had stopped cooperating so I was running to get him to chase me and my jeans started falling down but because I was running down a hill I couldn't just stop so I was kind of waddling and trying to hoik up my jeans at the same time. I must have looked like a weeble.

    Just taken a massive step backwards. Wagon disappearing over the horizon without me. Just ate loads of chipsticks and a massive bar of chocolate in lieu of proper food and took laxatives. Admittedly the laxatives are an attempt to blow through this constipation which nothing is shifting and is starting to feel like a bag of bag of shopping in my belly instead of a purgung thing and I only took the correct dose but it still feels a bit like a failure.

  • Hugs, code. It isn't a failure, you took the prescribed dose for a medical need. I really admire you for that. I would love to be able to take laxatives because my IBS means I am always constipated (like now) or suffering with the diawoowoo but I cannot trust myself to stop once I start. I honestly do admire you for being able to take the right dose and no more. Honestly, it isn't a failure at all, all you did was take medication that you needed.

    My reptile egg takes 5 days to hatch and then 3 days to grow! It's a slow one! There is now a full little head poking out of the shell, it's so cute and I am beyond excited!

    Slight paranoia moment-just to let the new members know I tend to get excited about things like i am much younger than my age. Hope it doesn't come over too weird! A lot of it is because I never played as a child and had to learn how to do so as an adult and the joy has never left me. Also, my MPD means I have children with me and sometimes they get over excited and then so do I. I can be quite mature when I need to be! End of paranoia moment.

    Ha ha ha - it is sooo charming, WaS. I'm sure no-one thinks poorly of you for being able to express your inner child *waves to Lucee* :D

    We need pix of the baby reptile, as well as the holiday pix, I think! :) xxx

  • Now I have a very happy Lucee in fits of giggles shyly waving back to you, JM! Thank you, I do get slightly over-enthusiastic at times and then think Oh God, do I sound like a total weirdo? I can't help it though, many little things make me happy and bounce around the room!

    I have actually been taking pics of the reptile hatching, that's how excited I am. Once my new power supply arrives for my main laptop (I am on a tiny netbook right now) there will be holiday and reptile pics! Lots and lots of pics...

    I'm in a clique! It's a clique of one! It's a unique clique!
    I love :eek:



  • Hahahaha! I have never managed 'normal' and never will. I remember my therapist telling me there was nothing wrong with being eccentric and I was only 15 then!

    Reptile update-It's little head is all the way out and the egg is cracking down by its chest. I think a leg is coming through! Time for another photo!
