A certain poster has been back only days, and already he has me wound up beyond what is normal. This is not healthy for me, and I am having to try so hard not to just go off on one at this person.
I just think if I stay around I will end up saying stuff that I will regret, and that will result in a ban for me. I try incedibly hard to be civil, (I know it doesn't always work!) and if I feel I might go over board I always now wait a day before posting. But today thats so hard.. and I don;t want to feel like this. It feels like my only option is to remove PB from my favourites (and somehow wipe my memory cos the url is stuck in there!) and stop coming here. That thought upsets me as I care an awful lot about some of the posters here (even Stjames ;)!!! ) I love the fact that some posters here, I can disagree with but NOT end up in a bitching argument.. I love that it stretches my brain, gives me something to think about, and that I learn alot here.
I know I should just ignore this persons posts, but his latest diatribe does seem aimed to attack me and James.. will every post I ever make that is vaugely contraversial be picked up from now on??
And boy have I edited this post!! *lol*

And now I can't stop crying.. had a bad morning with a docs appointment I've been putting off, and the doc said my worst fears about it could be correct.. and this seems to have broken the dam.. and I never normally cry.
And I need to get my bottom in gear, cos I have friends coming over for dinner later, so need the flat to be all tidy and shiny and dinner prepared.. aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Nikki,
Oh, damn, sweetie, you DO need to just ignore the poster. You know what happens, and DON'T take it personally, please. It is THAT POSTER'S agenda that is driving that poster, nothing about you. That poster doesn't even know you!Go ahead and cry all you want about the events of today, and if they are good enough friends coming for dinner, the flat only has to be tidy enough so that they aren't totally grossed out, and the dishes shouldn't have hair and crusty food on them. Anything beyond that doesn't really matter, if they love you.
Take care, and please don't leave. You would be so very missed, here.
Don't respond to that poster for a week. It'll subside. It's just that poster's way of being.
Shar

I'm forced into "retirement" for a week anyway.. tomorrow is surgery day on my elbow, and it will be in plaster for a week.. so no typing for Nikki.. though I will probably hit desperation and end up a one handed typer (and I'm rught handed, and its the right arm being operated on!!)
So dont; worry if no one see's me around for a few days!!
Oh.. and I feel much better now.. really calmed down. It was just the frustration of it all happening so soon..
But you and Zenhussy really reminded me of why I am here.. thanks

I'm feeling all loved up about about PB2000 today... I feel so good about all the people here..
*runs around hugging everyone* GREAT LINE!!!!

Your posts are great but one person drives you nuts. Well, let them leave. Totally ignore their post, it will drive em nuts.
Do you have tendonitis in your elbow? Whatever it is, fly back here from the hospital and peck out a message.
Good luck with the operation. I probably won't be thinking about you but in the tradition of Babble: You're in my prayers and I'll think about you each and every moment.Phil

Op went fine.. in quite a bit of pain (and typing one handed!) but no real after effects from the aneasthetic which is good.. though I was quite poorely during it as my blood pressure dropped and my temp dropped dangerously, so when I came round I was all wrapped up in silver space blankets with a wooly hat on!!! But I didn't puke which was very good (Id made apoint that i always puked after a general, so they put me on a drip to stop me puking and it worked great!)
They also accidently nicked the nerve, so I have no feeling or movemtn at all in half my hand which is strange, but that should pass in next two weeks!!

That's good, backstroke swimming class is tomorrow at 8. No pain-no gain.
Hey, the nerve of that guy nicking you. Nerve nickers are dangerous. That ticks me off.
I would have asked for a morphine drip to go with a 12 pack of refills. woo hoo

I am DELIGHTED to hear you didn't having anti-op puking. I come from a VERY vomitacious family, we puke at the slightest provocation, and often get into those cycles where you puke and puke and you're empty and still nauseauted and puking but nothing comes up. Enter Phenergan suppositories. If you can't get it IV, and can't keep anything down, suppositories are heaven.
Anybody looking in my refrigerator's butter dish gets a shock, because it ain't butter in there...and room temp suppositories are worse than nothing at all.
Anyhow! Yea! I'm so glad you're ok.

I'm glad your op went well. I'm sorry you were blocked. Maybe try to focus on recovery following the op?
Best wishes,
Allison

In reply to Re: shar, you must have been a hoot to drink with. (nm), posted by Phil on August 20, 2003, at 23:47:44
Actually, I was a most excellent alcoholic (am still, I suppose) and had a wonderful knack for maintaining a buzz+ without getting sick.
Except for once at a club when they were selling 2for 1 gin and tonics for women. Man, that was the worst. I never had another G&T after that. Slept on the bathroom floor that night. The cool porcelain felt so good on my cheek.
Now here is the really weird thing: I couldn't drink at all (like I had an allergy to alcohol) until my early 30's. I mean 2 sips and I was puking. So, I was a teetotaler--and designated driver for many years. Then, one time at a family reunion (how appropriate, eh?) someone had beer, and that's how my career as an alkie began.
I love your sense of humor! hahahah,
Shar
