    No disharmony! xx (((georgie)))

    Funny isn't it.... in my head online conversations and discussions are similar to a random chat over a cup of tea or a beer. You can all disagree, chip in with random musings, think out loud, the subject meanders all over the place and there's different viewpoints etc..... but everyone is great friends. Sometimes I struggle with getting across what I'm thinking on here without it coming across wrong... or downright @rsey lol!

    Sorry Georgiegirl.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    Exactly tea! That's how I see it too, and I wouldn't say anything on here that I wouldn't say to a friend in real life. Although I guess sometimes I should try and reign it in abit, as things can come across differently than irl.

    It's like having a crack and a debate with your mates!

    Your last sentence I can relate to, that's probably why I use a lot of exclamation marks and smilies :D

    Depends on the thread as well. I very much do see everyone on here as friends, so I'd say things I wouldn't say elsewhere. Which might be TMI about constipation :rotfl:, or might be something that could be seen as an insult to a stranger (telling someone to get their bum in gear or similar).

    It's fine, it's all cool. :)

    Like tea says, in your head, online conversations on this thread are similar to a random chat you'd have with your mates, and we all chip in and agree or disagree, which is great, but I do have the tendency to just say something if something irks me, just as I would irl.

    Lovely thought, but I'm still staying firmly in my tactile defensive corner!

    I have a question that WaS (or anyone) might know the answer to about auditory hallucinations. Can they be place specific, so you might get them at home but not when you move somewhere else? Arose out of a conversation I was having today.

    I have traipsed along my street knocking on doors. Most people wouldn't answer - only 6.30 when I started, so not late and the ones that did answer didn't speak good enough English for me to explain properly. This is going to be harder work than I thought.

    I am now wondering whether to recuperate by scoffing the rest of my home made apple crumble. :)
