OS Daily Wednesday 26th March

Bargain_Rzl

To be fair catowen, there hasn't been a vast amount of chit-chat today - the main reasons for the lengthy thread are discussion about the purpose of the daily thread (which, as you say, is a subject which comes up every so often) along with posts reassuring people that they are all welcome here - and also quite a large number of posts about the "light a candle" site, in memory of Smoky's DH.

Yesterday's thread, totally another matter, but as you also said, as long as we don't make a habit of it nobody really seems to mind (and I think it's generally about once a month that the daily gets a bit silly of an evening )

I think to be fair there have been a lot of posters today. I have checked back and apart from the misunderstanding with Mumzy most people have been posting about what they have been doing today. And I dont think there has been any disrespect to smoky in fact quite the reverse.

Thanks Rzl, like i said, i havnt been able to read todays thread, there is just too much of it, which is incredibly unusual, and was worried after yesterdays, it had carried on!!!

I would hate this thread to be taken away from us, it is so important, as the thoughts and wishes for smoky are showing.

Im going to leave this thread, i just feel you all have your circle of friends and i have posted on occasions and no one replies to me. Sorry all

hi mumzy,im lyndsey and i just want to say probably the same as everyone else.Dont leave[probably too late as you sent this ages ago and your back:D ]Ive only been on this thread for about 2 months and just by reading peoples posts i feel i get to know what lives people live-weather it be all good or troubles and upsets.
I read everybodys posts and sometimes its the next day,so theres no point me responding.But when i have posted,yes i do myself, carry on reading everybodys posts after me, some people respond[especially if ive asked a question] or comments on my day,the fun ive had with the children and i wished id have been on here 2 weeks before i became a newbie to help me get over my miscarriages and ectopic pregnancys, as i find everyone a tower of strength in everyone who posts on here.

If i feel that i need to post a responce on here i do,but even if i dont see my name mentioned i look at the thanx i recieve then i know that people have read my posts,and that i have been thought about.

Please stay, if you need to chat im here like everyone else and if i dont answer straight away,its not that i dont care,im just doing something at that time,but i will get back to you.

Hope ive made sense and good evening to you and all x x x

Hello all.

I hadn't intended to post today, the main reason being that because my divorce papers came through the letterbox this morning, I'm very, very low. I'm having a hard time dealing with it and I just don't know which way to turn or what to do for the best. However, that's my concern and I don't want to force it on anyone else, it's something that I've got to sort out on my own and I haven't posted this for sympathy.

With regard to last night's DT, it lifted me in a way that I wouldn't have thought possible and I hope it made other people laugh as well. However, again, in the present "climate", I can see why people might be bothered/offended/disturbed by it. Although I'm a newcomer to these boards, I feel desperately sad for Smoky's loss and although what I'm going through just doesn't come compare to Smoky's situation, I am trying my damnedest to understand it.

I'm not sure if it's the right term for it but I might possibly be the "instigator" of whatever last night's thread turned into and whatever else I may or may not be, I am big enough to accept responsibility for my actions. If anyone is to blame for it, then blame me. In order to redress the upset that some people are feeling, and I fully understand that some may be, I will walk away now. I have felt part of something in the short time I've been here and I've learnt a lot but I'm not prepared to upset anyone by my actions.

I'm struggling to formulate any more cohesive sentences so I'll leave it at that, FWIW.

Thanks all.

Martyn.

Edit: As I said, I will walk away as I have no desire to cause any more upset. Bear in mind this is my decision and no-one has asked/told me to.

Hi

Just popped on to send a big hug to Smokybabe and her family. I've been thinking about you and will say another prayer tomorrow (if you don't mind).

The house is quiet as the girls are staying at my parent's tonight. DH and I have just finished painting our front room ceiling and walls in while emulsion. The walls were originally yellow and when they're dry we'll be painting them Ivory Lace which will be in about an hour. I am covered in white splatters of paint and I have so many dots of paint in my hair I look like I have really bad nits!:rotfl:

Not much os here apart from DIY and I think we'll end up with a chippy tea around 9pm!
Hope everyone is having a good day. I've not had time to read every post as there are so many. Take care!

hi all! I am sorry if I upset anyone when I joined in with last nights chatty thread, I dont usually post at night but I wanted to help cheer up Benthosboy who is having a rough time at the moment. I will try and stay on OS topics in future.

(((smoky))) - I am thinking of you and will be especially tomorrow xxxx

The site is a lovely idea and I lit a candle on behalf of Eric's family.


(((Martyn)))

Sorry to hear about the divorce papers and how they made you feel and I do not think anyone would begrudge you being cheered up a bit.

I took DD to the station and saw her off back to Oxford. Hope she can come back for a few days at the end of May as it is lovely to have all the family together again.

Two machine loads of washing have been hanging in the rain outside and another load of bedding is in the machne as I have stripped our bed.

Made chicken curry as a late lunch/early tea and everyone enjoyed it.

Need to go make up our bed before I forget as it is disorientating to go upstairs to bed then realise you forgot to put fresh bedding on!!!

I have just lit a candle for Smoky, what a beautiful site!
You are in our thoughts and prayers smoky (((hugs))))

Benthosboy - don't you dare go anywhere, I want to hear all about your knitting adventures and sc learning curves! I am so pleased that this thread has helped you, as it has others, I personally feel it helps to be able to help others out in a positive way as it helps to try to outbalance all the bad stuff in life IYSWIM this thread is absolute proof of that. (((hugs))) sorry you have had a bad day, it will get better I promise.

This afternoon I did a mystery shop and it wasn't that bad, just glad it is done. Very tired now so dinner will be a cheat - corned beef hash!

Off to spoil my puppy as I have bought her a so called indestructable puppy kong toy! we will see how long this one lasts her! she has destroyed so many toys! :rolleyes:
edited to say it lasted 30 mins! she has already ripped a piece off it!:rolleyes: Is there any such thing as an indestructable puppy toy?
