meme

The problem with blogs : we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then post this in your blog and find out what people don't know about you.

Please feel free to ask whatever you want. I will be honest but I reserve the right to not answer a question if I feel uncomfortable with this topic...

Are you ready for some football?


Woke up this morning with my back in spasms ;feels like a combination between knives being stuck between my vertebrae and electric shocks.It's my own fault for sitting up and watching two NFL games.And yes,I'm going to do the same today,lol.
I've also rather overdone it lately ,doing a big shop on my own yesterday then sorting through books I'd been given to donate to the Cats' Protection February fair.I sorted out a couple to read first and I opened one to find the first sentence contained a description of a decapitated cat.Perhaps it would be tactless to donate that one.
I also found a moonstone ring ,a couple of butterfly backs and a large crystal point I'd lost under the bed.
I'm hyper at the moment because I've run out of sertraline.I ordered it on the doctor's new internet service.The first time it didn't turn up and the second time ,I got mebrevine by mistake,
Finally got round to watching the Christmas Doctor Who episode which upset me because my father died at Christmas,killed by a drunk driver.
So off to drink a couple of Irish coffees which I'm sure will help.

Underwear

Because I've lost so much weight over the past year,none of my bras fit any more.My substantial boobs simply fall out of the bottom.I've been looking for new ones but everywhere seems to sell those slightly padded ones which I find a bit sweaty not to mention I don't need my cup size enchancing.
So ,I saw an advert for some nice ,seamless front fastening bras in a magazine.I've seen them before but only in white or cream but these were black.I had some X mas money left over so I went online to order them.
The site was a bit odd.It sold 5 different designs of bras,Norwegian walking poles,one design of dog bed ,one design of dog coat and a gell for aching muscles.And that was all ;very strange mix.
In the mean time ,I found a nice unpadded bra in black lace lined with pink on offer left over from Christmas which is cool.

Time is out of joint


Over the past few days ,somehow time has seemed to get all mixed up.
Yesterday ,I fell asleep in the afternoon,then got woken up in the early hours by Lance shouting at his computer game,some sort of Starwars ,Old Republic thing.So I got up and we caught up with some recorded TV .By this time it was 7.30 so we decided to stay up anyway and go to town.
We visited various shops collecting postcards ,I got some 4 colour biros I wanted,then found a great pair of little ankle boots.
We also got lamb kebabs and Manchester sausage from a great butcher.
Then it was lunchtime and we went for a pub meal where I got the most delicious fish and chips with the lightest,crispest batter I've ever tasted washed down with a good cider,the sort that is nearly flat and comes from a small brewery.
Of course,when we got home ,I especially was exhausted and went to bed.It felt like evening,though it was mid afternoon.
So of course today,I was awake again very early.I had a bath and washed my hair This time ,we took a load of books we had been meaning to to a local recycling shop .Because I'd just washed my hair,I'd left it down and loose.I got rather freaked out when a woman working there stated stroking it and.calling me Goldilocks even though it's dyed bright red.Lance got a nice handpainted plate for his mum.Back home again and to bed at 11.30 AM.
So now I'm awake ;it's 4.57 PM but feels like the middle of the evening.
I keep thinking it's a day sooner than it is and I'm sure I've forgotten to eat a few meals .
I think my bodyclock must look like one of these.

You got mail...or not/


My first email address was one dedicated to our funky little private internet network .It was great ,virtually spam free and a doddle to use.Unfortunately it was in the early days and some sites did not recognise anything that was not Yahoo or MSN. I drifted onto Yahoo answers one day .messed around for a few days then forgot about it.However ,StillNoCouch said he'd been reading my replies,I was funny and did I want to join his Yahoo360 blog.
I did but had to get a Yahoo email address.In the fullness of time,something went wrong with the Redbricks email address ( and everyone is STILL discussing fixing it 8 years later ) and I needed a new one.
Yahoo was out of the question,even with my own spam protection on it,it generated 80 spammings a day .Most of this seemed to come from the blog site and repeated complaints had no effect .
I went back there after 8 years of never using it and it's still quietly accumulating spam all by itself.
So ,I found a new ,no whistles.no bells provider called Graffiti.This was perfect for years then oops ,it was taken over by AOL and plummeted rapidly into a pit. The home page automatically posted a shit-ton of celebrity gossip and lo and behold ,spam started appearing in increasing numbers .Also signing in ,you had to go through two stages which was a total PITA.Once again,I complained and got form letter answers and no result.
Off on the hunt again.I found Care2 which was pretty neat and donated to charity as you used it.Once again ,I was satisfied then 2 weeks ago ,it suffered some sort of attack and no-one can log in.Two fixes have failed to work.
Luckily ,I have an unused ,back up address and have been changing it on all my sites but I fear 10 days of mail may never be recoverable.
So ,does anyone else have these problems or is it just me?
