Being totally and utterly blanked by a group of people I *thought* were supposed to be friends of mine.
I emailed the leader of the pack, to question whether there was a reason everyone had ignored me.
Apparently I was out of order.
My heinous crime? Refusing to shag one of the members the instant he discovered I was single.
FFS.
With "friends" like that, who needs enemies?!
Actually... this should've been in the rant thread. Cos I'm not sad, I'm bloody furious! Ye gads! Is there something wrong with having a little self-respect in this world?!
That career change is becoming more and more tempting... I might just get me to a nunnery! ;o)
I told the bloke at the time that he was bang out of order... I was friends with both him and his missus... I wouldn't go there in a million years! Even if they are divorcing.
But I kept it private, while he's apparently been going around bleating to everyone about how "nasty" I was to him. Spineless wonder.
Nah sod 'em all Drobess... I hear what you're saying, but people like that don't deserve my friendship as far as I'm concerned. Can't be dealing with gossips and backstabbers.
He's painted me to be the nasty woman in his little scenario who was "mean" to him when he was feeling vulnerable, going through his separation with his missus.
If the others choose to believe that and don't have the bottle to confront me over it, they ain't worth my time. I've plenty of other friends who value me :o)
Sod em Lou... wud u really wanna have friends like that anyway?? I very much doubt it mate.
"...This site seems to have losts its sparkle...."
Don't worry Dips... it will soon be back.. .this just aint the right thread for it ..
What med me sad today, was coming home in the rush hour and seeing the aftermath of an accident, which must have happened minutes before I passed by...
Motorbike and car... the rider was on his back with what looked like a dust sheet over him....... I hope it was just to keep him warm...
My mate was following me on his bike.. and we both pulled up at the supermarket.. he only passed his test a cuppla months.. I was worried that it had spooked him..but he seemed ok.. med us both feel sick tho ...
Really hope the biker dude is ok.....
Horrible seeing accidents like that... Hope he's OK.
My old landlady came home one night, really spooked and asked it my fella was due round as she'd just seen an awful bike accident (bike stopped at a zebra crossing, bus ploughed into it!)... We hadn't made solid arrangements, but there was a possibility he was coming round.
No answer at his home, pre-mobile phone days...
I'm panicking... so go running up the road to where the accident was, in time to see the bike being loaded onto a recovery vehicle... ye gads... what a mess... just about recognisable as not my fella's bike though so that was cool.
About 10 years later, I was relating the story in a pub I was working in... I couldn't imagine that anyone would've survived the accident... lo and behold, the rider was sat at the bar! When we established a few details that it was definitely him and definitely his accident, I just leaped across that bar and gave him a MASSIVE hug and kiss! lol Nobody had believed him when he'd explained how bad an accident it was and he finally had a "witness" to prove it!
I seem to be visiting this thread a tad too frequently for my liking...
Today it's discovering that my Uncle was admitted to hospital Tuesday, following a failed dialysis session... He's had 3 more unsuccessful attempts at dialysis so far.
Some time back he refused to allow my cousins to test for transplant compatibility as he didn't want any of them to have to go through the rest of their life with only one kidney...
So everyone's feeling pretty rotten at the mo. Not looking hopeful.
Mine's naff all... millions of women go through it every day - girlie bits are pretty badly designed when all's said and done! lol
I'd kind of like the people around me to stop dying or becoming extremely ill/disabled even if just for a few months though... Could do with a break from the running around like a headless chicken trying to support everyone else through their times of need!
Seems to have been non-stop for about 4 years... I'd like to say that it was everyone becoming of a certain age and only to be expected, but it all seemed to start with my friend's husband dying from cancer at 33!
Might be a little selfish, but I'm really weary of it all... Can I have some happy news please? ;o)
dont know what to say Lou, you got enough on your plate to last anyone a lifetime.... Do take time out, you have had an operation, are healing yourself and family will appreciate that you need 'you' time. We all run around like headless chickens meeting ourselves coming back, all it does is make us resentfull, not of the people or situation, but the fact that we can't cope with all of lifes pressures and going the extra two million miles some of us (you) have to, to show support. I haven't met you yet Lou but you come across on here as one of lifes most giving people so dont think of yourself as selfish - hugs XXX
Whoever controls our destiny, give Lou and those close to her a break, cheers
Hey WB, real sorry to hear about your uncle....hope all turns out ok....
Love what Nutkin put about you at the end of her message...all i can add to that, is i have met you, lots, and she's dead right!
