Oh, and my club is StKilda and their logo is a saint, so as a supporter I am a Saint. Officially.
That makes me an Eagle �� as a West Coast supporter, although we don’t watch it much because my husband supports NRL and thinks Aussie Rules is “aerial ping pong” lol. So far I haven’t managed to convince him that Aussie Rules is FAR more interesting to watch than rugby league ��

Jains: grassfed and tasty.

I think the wife of my employer couple may be heading for Jainism. She's close and the food is tasty.

Folks, Swarms of AV bees hitting in the last half an hour. Yearning for a cold beer. Gosh, where did it come from. I know it will pass...it will pass... Stupid AV, trying to spoil my Tuesday evening.

The prospect of Jain food really encourages me!

A couple of miles from my house is a vegetarian Indian food restaurant.

I will visit them!

Thanks so much for the tip!

If you feed them, they will come....or something like that.

Tell the thoughts you are NOT interested and change the channel.

I am presuming your son is your younger child.....
Actually, my son is 21 and my daughter is 19. I don't know what my son thinks is going to happen, he seems to have no ambition. Although he did come to us on the weekend as he *finally* want's to get his drivers license.

Dragon, I feel for you. It has to be a generational thing.

Hey Weekenders! Don't feel like I should be posting in this thread seeing as I am at rehab and no day is difficult to not pick up because I can't darn well do anything or go anywhere on my own so no access to alcohol. I think that is's part of the reason I have been angry for 3 days, at home I was choosing to resist, here my choice has been taken away from me and the rebel in me seems to have surfaced. I walked out of a session today as they wanted us to do a 20 minute presentation to a group of 25 people, and part of my reason for being here is social anxiety so there is no way in hell I am going to do this task, so I walked off and are now being stubborn, moody and isolating, just don't want to speak to anyone and don't want to talk about it grr....I am getting all the "it'll be good for you" comments but my entire being has shutdown on this idea and it's just not going to happen.

I can't even sit and zone out to listen to music when I am around the big ego's and the clients are bitching and moaning about each other as that is classed as "isolating". I guess it is in a way but is it not better to chill out and cheer myself up with a song that makes me happy than sit listening to bull$it that is of no use to my recovery? I dunno, I am grumpy and I miss my cat, my bed, cooking for myself and cool weather (bit of an understatement really lol). There is a launderette just down the road that I want to wash my clothes at but that is not allowed, I can give my clothes to their wash people who have burned, marked, stained and shrunk everyone elses clothes so no way I am handing over my clothes to be done by them. I don't have a plug in the sink in my room so can't even handwash....think you might be getting the picture that I am not a happy bunny. Anyway, just posted here as missing my weekenders and hope you are all doing well.

Calmself, like Venus I am fascinated by the Jain thang! Very interesting so will be learning more about that in my downtime here. Have a safe journey to India and be good xx

Morning, weekenders.

Guess what I am doing? Nothing .

Having coffee and going to watch replay of the soccer match I missed yesterday while was at the dentist.

When it is going to get old, I wonder?

Manta - I would be annoyed at this too. I need alone time as much as I need air. Can you talk to people in charge and explain that you need time on your own?

Ok. I need more coffee.

Welcome to Weekenders Willow!

Saoutchik Towers has an additional temporary resident this morning in the form of an injured pigeon. He/she is in a shoebox with water and some granola. I will walk over to a vet with it in an hours time.

Morning, Sao.

It is so kind of you (actually I was going to say that "You are such a doll" , but wasn't sure ) to take care of an injured bird.

Hope your new buddy will be ok soon.

I obviously need to cut on coffee, but I don't want to. It is such a flow of goodness in my life. I've already had my second mug and I want more!
