Penguin reply to Lambyr

I am not quite sure how to reply to you because illegal drugs are something I know a lot about from my time working with HIV and also from personal use and I have to be careful not to break MSE rules because I could say too much. But we do have similar thinking and it is known that cannabis can relieve pain and nausea and it is often used by some people to ease symptoms of certain conditions. I self-medicated for a long time with illegal drugs before I had a diagnosis and therefore didn't have a prescription and it did help at a time when I felt I had nowhere else to turn. Obviously I do not recommend using illegal drugs in any way in place of legal medication but I have done and met quite a few people who have done it too when they felt that there was no alternative. But no one take illegal drugs! Drugs are bad! *Shuts up*:rotfl:

Awww, thank you for the Happy Anniversary messages! That really touched me. I told WaSp and he put his head in his hands and said a life sentence isn't that long. Thanks WaSp :rotfl:

I think as you say Pyxis, we do compliment each other because although our interests are very similar (we are both nerds!), our needs tend to be opposite so we can support each other and be strong for each other in different areas. Together we make up a whole and rounded person. We also trust each other totally and despite my occasional BDP panics really we are in no doubt that we will be together until one of us dies, neither of us ever really questions that. Really we are still best friends as we always were. We were saying we might choose a day this month and actually celebrate it even if only we get a takeaway. After all 25 years is no mean feat!

I do hope this doesn't come over as rubbing salt in the wound for people with relationship problems right now, it's the last thing I want and I would never want to do that. It hasn't been all hearts and flowers by any stretch, WaSp has had to cope with me being very unwell for 10 years and I have had to cope with BIL and the annoying and sometimes legal problems with that but really, I think it was our friendship that got us through. Before anything else, we have always been such good and trusting friends and I really hope everyone here has that or finds it. I would say before anything be the best friend you can be to your partner, things tend to fall into place as long as you share that. Also look on it this way, if someone like me can find a partner for life everyone else certainly can! :rotfl:

Just wanted to say that my nerves were well and truly wracked by the cycling last night, especially the drama in the last race!

Re. the cycling, after the drama of the first enquiry, I couldn't watch any more, as MY nerves couldn't take it.

So when I woke early this morning, I had a lovely surprise! Just as well I hadn't continued to watch it, given that there was a second enquiry! :eek:

I must admit, I really don't understand the Kierin. I don't see the point of it, and it makes me all on edge.


Does anyone else have this thing that, if they are watching something live, where they really want , say, the British contestant to win, that they are afraid to watch it in case, by watching it, they jinx the result?

I'm a bit like that!
I counteract it by having the TV on, but I start doing a crossword and I don't actually watch the screen. Then I watch the replay once it's over!

I wouldn't mind, but I'm really not superstitious, except for touching wood if someone asks me if my recurrent illness thing is ok at the moment. But then I like trees, and their energy and strength!

I did see the finals of the pole vault which was incredible! I was very disturbed by the Brazilian crowd booing the French guy who was the record holder, just because he was up against the Brazilian.
Then on the medals Podium, the crowd booed the French guy again, when he stood up to get his silver.
There were tears pouring down his face, poor guy. I just wanted to hug him. What a horrid unsporting crowd. Quite ghastly.


I haven't been feeling too good today. Dunno why.

My favouritest crossword puzzle came in a monthly mag this morning, so I spent the whole day doing that. (It's quite a hard one, but very enjoyable, as it incorporates two other puzzles within the normal cryptic crossword).
Now I've got to wait another month before the next one comes. Will have to do ordinary cryptic ones 'til then, or the Futoshiki puzzles that I also like. The latter are solved by pure logic, no knowledge or numerical prowess involved, but with the harder ones, it's easy to make a mistake.

Happy anniversary guys xx

Waves_and_Smiles

Hahahaha! Aw, thank you tea! WaSp just looked up what the official gift is for 25 years and apparently it's silver. He said he would wrap me up a sandwich in tin foil. Why am I with him again? :rotfl:

Yes! I always get the "can't look!" feeling if I really want a competitor to win.

Waves_and_Smiles

Hope you feel better soon, Pyxis! I haven't watched any of the Olympics, I cannot watch anything competitive. Why, you ask? Because people lose and it upsets me dreadfully that they might be upset. I am hopeless...

If there's one place you'd never ever find WaS and WaSp, kissing or no, it's up a tree! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Waves_and_Smiles

Hahahaha! If either of us went up a tree we would need the fire brigade to get us down again. Active, we are not! :rotfl:
