I hqve decided the only way to deal with this is to get equally as drunk, and hopefully forget about it completely.
Bottoms up!

Well yes drinking lots usually results in bottoms up, probably a bit of stumbling prior to that.

Afternoon all,

Well last week was busy and rather painful and frustrating finishing of the painting in the kitchen. Had to do some carpentry as well. Never had so much trouble replacing handles before then again is doesn't help when nothing is squared off. Got so pissed off I nearly threw the drill at the cupboards. Probably wouldn't of made a dent considering they are solid wooden cupboards and recycled so you could say "bespoke". Lots of going up and down ladders and had to be part acrobat to get to some of it. The end result looks good. Certainly has freshened up the kitchen.

So the news this past week has the Libs thinking about a new leader, which would be suicide. Malcolm seemed to finally get annoyed with his own team. Funny to see Abbott cycling thru the power station regions. Hopefully he got a good lung full of the air. Then again seeing him on a bike looks like something the Greens would do. Probably should of done that on the back of truck. Not sure a sweaty pollie shaking hands with people is what you want when you're shopping.

So the Comm Games are over and the team did really well. Saw more of it than I planned, waiting for paint to dry. Wasn't impressed with the closing ceremony, too many speeches and pats on the back. Thought I missed the athletes coming into the stadium. Kept looking for them thru it only to find out at the end they were already seated and not allowed to roam the field. It just looked empty. Also where was The Voice himself considering they played that song constantly. The Gold Coast... humid one day.... bogan the next.

Plan on taking it easy this week mainly due to the cooler temps in Melbourne at the moment. Almost cold enough to start up the heater again. May get one more spurt of warm weather later in the week. Hope your week goes well for you.

Excuse me! I am NOT weird!

I am the only sane one in the room, tyvm!

Especially true if you're the only one in the room No fucking idea what tyvm is but I'm sure there is a cure for it.

You probably need a burning ceremony to get rid of the dark spirits or a shredder could work. Just don't follow Rollin, no point burning a body part.

Hey I worked out what tyvm means after I logged off then again I dnsdc

Can you believe he offered me a pity fuck??? And then called back to revoke it.
Remind me NEVER to fall in love again

Well I had no idea that the Liberals were thinking of a new leader. I doubt it will make any difference to my life. I'm just glad that I don't live in Syria.

tyvm = thank you very much!

Yes. Men do that. Pretty much all of them do at some point. I feel for you. It hurts.



Monday down. 4 days until I'm on leave for a week. I've just gone out and spent $50 on toys to bribe my kid to go to my mothers house next week. She's not mellowed since he's been born. Everyone told me she'd soften....I'm waiting!
And tomorrow is the 5th anniversary of my Dad's death. It was a big event for our family. I barely keep in touch with anyone anymore. So I'm feeling rather lonely at the moment.
And I just got my $10k bill for my last cycle of IVF. One more to go, starting next week. So tonight I drink to get drunk...
Oh, my other news is that I applied for a licence to get a pet snake! I'm quite excited!

Nope no one is weird around here.

Fair opinion of himself then? Had an ex tell me it was ok to drop round for sex now and then. I told her thankyou but i was raising my standards a little. Didn't hear from her again.

Good luck with the IVF Pert Perth. We have one little bloke as a result of ivf. Tried a few more times but run out of money and wore ourselves out with the heartbreak of unsuccessful attempts. I hope it all goes well for you.

Brisbane get away

Hello All,

How’s your fine week started? I’m lucky enough to be up at Brisbane for the week and was hoping I could get some guidance of a good place to get a drink and listen to music.
And any good place for a 30 yr to meet women.

Any help would be great
Cheers Ed

Mothers can be quite disappointing at times. Good luck next week.

Not sure I’m any great guide... plenty of places in the city, in The Valley and on South Bank... check out bars in the laneways if in the CBD itself.

So it turns out getting dumped has been a boon for weight loss....
I have lost 11kg in 3 weeks
Back down to a size 10.

 

[sub_aussie_male]

I yo-yo'd hard after my separation, went from 110 ish, to 130 in about 6 months, then down to 90 in another 6 months ( crash diet, not recommended ) back to 100 now but its a healthy 100.

 

[Zach_lost_in_Aus]

I’m sorry you’re heartbroken WQ.

I’d forgotten how wet the air gets in Brisbane. I hear it’s cold back home though.

Been fairly cool and fresh in the morning recently... all things relative of course

It turns out I don't actually have any friends of my own here. I have been in Tassie since 2007 with him, and all the people around us were mutual friends - who have all disappeared into the ether (for both of us, not just me.)
It's been sobering to realise just how intricately tangled our lives were.

I do have friends, but all of them are living in various places on the mainland. Not here.

Looks like I have to rebuild from the ground up.

*big hugs* WQ. I think any major change in life - marriage, separation from a partner, having kids, starting a job, doing study...they all give you a different routine and it makes it so hard to keep up friendships. I was talking to another girlfriend about this recently. We both think it's so hard to make good friends as a mature person! I hope things improve for you soon - and not just by dropping another dress size!


As for me - I'm feeling less miserable! I think a few good nights sleep has done wonders for my mood. AND I'm not even drunk tonight!

It's suddenly cooled down here too. We've had a bit of rain, but not too much, so it's been really nice. Autumn is my favourite time of year.

Happy Friday everyone!

 

[warrior queen]

Today is separate all the combined music day.
I am going through all the cd's and taking out everything that he brought in - not like I can listen to it anyway.

Yesterday I bought a new mattress and dumped the old one. Got all new sheets, pillows, doonas, covers etc. today. Maybe now that there is no reminder I can actually start sleeping in my bed again. I've been sleeping on the sofa since I became single.....

*sigh* Unravelling lives.......

 

[warrior queen]

Finally figured out how contact with him works.....
If it benefits him, I get a reply immediately. If it is a hard question, or too personal - no response.

I should know better than to be hurt by this.

Sorry to hear that

HI hope everybody is well

Hang in there, WQ

So you replaced a well known acronym with one that is hardly ever used.... funny but.... shouldn't it be dksdc?

Yes true, however it was one we used that also related to an organization hence the replacement of the 'k' for the 'n'. Brought back memories of a simpler time and a term I haven't used in a long time.

My advice once you've crossed a bridge burn it down so you aren't tempted to cross back over it. It also scares off the troll living under it.

And yes you'll probably fall in love again if it's in you. Sometimes viewing things from afar helps to put things in perspective.
