Hahaha Brain and Sao! I like the red tracksuit visuals!
Hi lunar, I hope you're having a great day, too!
Hi everybody!
I'm going to invent an errand, I need to get out of the house for a bit. Swinging by the library, too.
Xoxo

Brynnie, you're a genius!
The slurpee will be my errand! That's a good enough reason to leave the house!
16 years old: driving around aimlessly, listening to music, smoking, having a Slurpee
41 years old: driving around aimlessly, listening to music, smoking, having a Slurpee
I don't know whether I'm pleased or embarrassed! ah well, whatevs!
Either way I'm getting a Slurpee and that's winning

Evening all.
Everytime I caught up with the thread and was about to post, I got distracted by something.
Great trip reports MM.
Set up a beach tent in the garden today for junior to protect against the sun. He's still sniffling and coughing but getting a little better.
Not much to report here. Weather is great. Long may it last.

I feel like a terrible person.
My father's car failed the NCT today, even though he brought it to the garage for a check and got three tyres replaced. Actually he was surprisingly upbeat about it. I said I hoped it wasn't the brakes or the clutch from me slamming down on them. He said it was nothing to do with that, something about the suspension. I know zero about cars, except how to fill petrol anyway...
I knew I would get blamed by my mom and I was correct. So I was annoyed anyway. Then she made a comment about how I was eating dinner very quickly and I snapped at her "I am eating fast to get away from you". I knew when I was saying it...anyway her face fell and she went to the bedroom and closed the door. Even my dad said I was nasty. So I went and apologised and she said nothing.
My dad told me that I said sorry, I know what I said was wrong, I will learn from it and I won't do it again so forget it. It's over now.
I just feel like a terrible person. I don't know. I also feel this huge resentment again. All the times she yelled at me and I sat there and said nothing. All the times I got no apology from her. All the times she called me "useless", told me I was a "good for nothing alcoholic who didn't deserve an opinion about anything"...I could go on and on and on.
All I can say is that I was very tired and its just not like me to be so mean to anyone. And I do feel bad.
And I wonder why I am obsessing over something minor when it will blow over and things are going reasonably well for me for the first time in ages. It's like I want to **** things up.

[QUOTE=brynn;5946940]Sao...maybe you could start a hedgehog movement over there!

Fortunately Brynn some more responsible people already have in the form of The British Hedgehog Protection Society
Tetra, I don't blame you for saying what you said, blaming you for the car failing on its suspension is just plain wrong - it is bound to be track control rods/ bushes which is just wear and tear (and not that expensive to replace)

Tetra that's pretty tame xoxo
My sister once hit me with a frying pan and I got no apology- hahaha
I think you're too hard on yourself xoxo
I don't know how you bite your tongue as much as you do.
I also have found that the people that insult and are the meanest CANNOT take it in return- they shrivel up and slink away to feel bad for themselves.
I have a friend like that- he's so rude- one time I gave it back and he went away sooooo upset.
All I could think was " you've got to be ******* kidding me"

A fun story to relate: I was at the folks' house yesterday for Mother's Day and Mom pointed out the bluebirds trying to move into her martin house. They were trying every apartment but were just too big for the holes. We jumped in her car and ran over to HD to see if they had any bluebird houses. Nope.
Yesterday, she and one sister had gone to the next town over shopping. They found a bonafide bluebird house for cheap. Since I had already told them how and why to mount one, they mounted it on a security light pole today.
Before they got from the pole to the patio(maybe 15 yards), the bluebirds were on it. I mean all over it. Moving in!
Next: butterfly houses.

okay not more than 15 minutes ago I had a 4 lb rainbow trout in my hands...
at first I couldn't tell what it was because I looked all silver...
I missed another big one earlier in slower water... I got this guy hanging out under a spillway from over some rocks...
he is now above that area... so I know where two bigguns are...
it was funny.. I didn't have a net and I'm getting on my knees in the middle of the stream in rushing water... his mouth opened 3 inches - nice fish, I'm guessing at least 18" prolly 20... one of these days I'm gonna start taking a camera...
