It's a breath of fresh air yeah. When I was in the womens refuge, I did the freedom programme they encourage women who end up in a cycle of bad relationships, it teaches you why you might be caught in the pattern of repeatedly ending up with men who are controlling, manipulative etc. Often,the problem is actually with yourself ie Me. Don't get me wrong, he's not Mr Perfect, but i've learnt different ways to deal with things, and he's still learning about me too, as i'm not the easiest to handle. But, most of all, it's communication that is the key turner, without that, nothing works!

I am pleased for you Cherry mate. No one deserves a partner that is violent towards them. My mum put up with it for nearly 20 years before she found the courage to leave my dad.
Hope all continues to go well for you Cherry.
My snoo is seeing a friend I've not seen for years as he has been teaching English in China.
Funny seeing how old friends have put on the middle age spread & lost hair.

 

[Shambles]

Good stuff, Cherry. A bit of stability and not being beaten up is not a lot to ask for - glad you seem to have found both

0.89 PSA test, down from 13.4.

Below 3 is required. Go me.

Bit late but only just saw this and well-worthy of a quoting cos as snoos go it really doesn't get any snooier. That's excellent news, SHM!

Just reading the bobz you've mentioned on here about how far from pleasant it's been getting to the stage is has had me wincing on several occasions but hopefully things are gonna be improving greatly from here on in

Irie %)

Well, irie with a (very) sore arse anyway. No plugging.

Have to be bombs then.

Feeling better physically than I have in years, is nice. Pretty good mentally, too. And I think I've had about seven cigarettes in the past month and a half, and not touched the e cig in about two weeks. Forgot what it feels like to be able to use most of my lung capacity 8( Think not smoking weed since I've been at my parents' has helped a lot with the mental state, as much as I hate to admit it, as well as drinking fuck all.

Is nice being able to wake up with a smile

Is just novelty value

Oh, it's THIS thread. Well I gots me a new toy yesterday:

(that shawled kid is not me)

Woo. Headmounted display, 110 degrees field-of-view. Pretty immersive. Connects with HDMI to my computer. Now doing all kinds of spaceflight simulation, proper NASA sims up in this shit %) Or flying through fractals:

I feel like I've gone back to 1989.

And I wasn't even born then.

 

[masaz]

I want one I want one I want one nowww

edit: stop making me feel old

 

[curious_24]

Wasn't even born in 1989 and now moderating a drugs forum? What has the world come to?!

Bitter Old Man.

I thought Oculus Rift was that thing with the treadmill? I'm assuming you're not running about like a dafty on a big omni-directional treadmill.

I just opened my emails to see Ive been invited to an interview for a job I applied for about a year and a half ago which is awesome. I can't even remember what lies I told on the app form.

I've also just discovered how good sloe gin is with tonic, so thats a double snoo.

 

[masaz]

Ooh congrats! Also yeah sloe gin and tonic is looooovely, sadly we only have a bottle or two stashed away at any time and that's jealously guarded by my Dad in his study/booze and food fortress. Seriously, that man cycles 20 miles a day, spends all his free time gardening or doing DIY and genuinely wonders why he's still fat. It's like walking into a fucking corner shop when you go in there.

 

[badandwicked]

^ lol I'd be storming that fortress every time I had the munchies or his back was turned

 

[maxalfie]

My Snoo is that when walking back from the shop last night I bumped into an old heroin friend who used to be one of my dealers for a few years.
Last time I saw him was about 3 years ago. At that time he had a huge open wound on his leg that he still insisted on using for injecting his gear.
He had been warned that if he didn't stop injecting there & get treatment he was in danger of having to have it amputated.
Last I had heard of him was when I read about him in the local paper where he had been up in court for stealing booze from Waitrose. The article said he had turned to alcohol after quitting using heroin.
Anyway when I saw him last night he looked the healthiest I've ever seen him and had put on a good bit of weight.
He said that he quit the gear due to the fear of losing his leg but then started drinking several liters of cider each day or whatever booze he could get.
Then he got help from our local drug & alcohol services and hasn't drunk for around a year now.
Was great to see someone doing so well as he was one bloke that everyone thought would end up in an early grave,so good for him.

Haha I knoooow, right? Sadly it's got a keypad lock on it, been there since we got robbed. I JUST figured out the combination when I stayed here last and loaded up on peperami and crisps and then the next day I rang Mum to borrow some money to get home with and she told me the fecking combo then changed it! Oh well can't blame her tbh If I go in there when Dad is in he watches me like a hawk to make sure I don't get any of the 'good stuff' ha. Most irritating thing is that everyone knows the combo to my bedroom cos it's just my birth year and a letter after it. The second most irritating thing is that I always forget it.

More snoo in the form of generally feeling good about life. Starting to think someone's drugging me or summat. Also that's awesome bout yer old mate max, nice to see people being able to get out of situations like that, especially when you can't see them making it.

Shoo snoo!!!

Bumped into MamaSham outside the charidee shop earlier and she was (very) flush so gave me a few pennies (bit of a snoo in and of itself really ). Pottered 'bout the charity shop ferra bit looking for bobz wot I need and found a pair of shoes - "brand new" pair of suede Converse trainers (shit brown colour, admittedly) for £4.

MamaSham's fella took pity on me a few weeks back and gave me an auld pair of his work boots to wear cos I have been more or less barefoot (although barefoot would probably be more comfy than the fukkin state the last pair of shoes standing I had left at the time ) since last winter. Very decent of him and are fine pair o' boots - sturdy as fuck so will last forever and also waterproof which is a bit of a boon. However, breaking in new/old boots that - although being my size - are definitely a bit on the "snug" side of the fit scale in blazing summer is not recommended. My poor lil tootsies have been fukkin ruined these last few weeks! Started off wiv a blister apiece on the backs of both heels - a good 2-3" in diameter (fukkin OW!!!) - which burst somewhat excruciatingly a week or so back

So switched to emergency back-up shoes... which are actually me slippers (canvas jobbies and look suitably summer footwearish to the casual eye) which would be fine (muuuuuuuuch comfier and cooler in the heat, for sure) if it weren't for the fact that slippers ain't designed for outdoor use and ended up with two insanely (and bastard huuuuuuge)) blisters on the frikkin soles of me feet. Both on the balls (fnarr) and (underside of) heel. Painful to walk on is really not the word

Soooooooooo, all that fairly extensive ramble is really just to explain for anybody truly interested (all one of me then) in my ongoing footwear foibles quite how profound the level of snooeyness can be when arising from a pair of cheap, second-hand, shit brown shoes. Shooz snoo snooz = farkin snooooooooooooo!!!

 

[curious_24]

Never before have I seen a man get so excited over a pair of shoes! Are you sure you don't have a vagina?

Seriously though, good find! My brother-in-law would be insanely jealous, shit brown or not!

 

[Shambles]

If you hadn't worn shoes in well over six months where bits of yer feet weren't poking through the extensive collection of holes in the bottom, squelching around getting bastard trenchfoot every time it rains, and literally cannot recall the last time your poor, battered 'n' beleaguered tootsies weren't covered in a heady mixture of both fresh, "water"-bearing (well, whatever that clear, watery fluid is wot builds up in blisters - especially the massive fukkers) blisters ready to burst at any moment, and old, sore and red raw burst ones - all of which are either gonna be rubbing against sodden shoe-stuff cos it's rained and yer feet (if outside) are never dry, and/or are dry but all the blisters are in the same places wot caused said blisters, then you acquire a pair of cheap "new" (and halfway decent) shoes that are soooooooo soft 'n' comfy (and complete ) that it feels like yer walking with marshmallows on yer feet, I suspect you'd be pretty excited too

And yikes, that sentence is so much of a disjointed mess I ain't even gonna bother attempting corrective surgery

I just double-checked (again - always worth making surely sure at regular intervals just in case ) whether or not I possess a vagina. Still don't

I do, however, have a genuinely impressive set o' norks. Not talking yer bogstandard moobs here. Ooooh nonononono. These puppies are just perfect. All pert 'n' perky 'n' shit. Reckon I'd give a belter of a soapy tit wank if the mood took me. Is unlikely to before anyone asks. Well, unless you ply me with dinner, drinks 'n' drugs first. Just cos I've got an enviable rack don't mean I'm a slaaaaaaaaag

 

[maxalfie]

Shambles is no slag,strictly tits first.
