Since Naomi will not give me the ****ing key I have decided to follow Jesus and be a Christian just like Theland. I am ashamed of my past history here so I'm going to devote the time I used to spend on ab to reading the Bible. No question really because I no longer care about what people think. I'll get all my answers from God from now on thank you.

So you are a blonde now are you China?
Well, I hope it makes you happy. what is your natural colour? Do you dress to kill or dress for comfort?
Yes, I'm cheeky asking, but I need to know whther or not to wear my flares and cuban heels, or trackies and trainers when we meet at the Temple Summer Ball.
I know Nim has a new red frock, and Mibs? Weeeeeelll, I'm just guessing corduoroy, green.

Theland, Ooooo .... methinks the wine has taken its toll, but nevertheless I will go into Agony Aunt mode immediately. Right. I'm so sorry you have troubles, but you really have to try to keep things in perspective, you know. Your son is ill, but all the worry and wringing of hands in the world won't change that - and you know it - so there's nothing you can do except support him. Your bike has been stolen - and having had my home burgled twice and lost some of my most treasured possessions, I know that's upsetting - but again, there's nothing you can do, so you have to accept it. As for the kids clubbing together to buy you another one - GOOD! Let them. You do enough for them, and it probably pleases them to be able to do something for you for once. Daughter having baby number four? I never understand why people who can't afford to keep the children they already have continue to have more - and then bleat on about how hard up they are. There's no reason to have kids these days. We're not living in the Dark Ages, so they only have themselves to blame. They make themselves poor and they're the authors of their own misfortune. However, that aside, there's nothing you can do about it, and again all the worry in the world won't change the situation. She'll cope. What else can she do?
I suppose what I'm trying to say is chill out, Theland, otherwise you'll make yourself ill. And what for? Worrying about things you can't change. Look at it all squarely and try to see it for what it really is. I'm sorry if I sound a bit harsh, but I want you to look at the reality. None of what you're describing is as bad it seems in your own mind. You really have to try to see things in a more rational light, you know. I'm pleased you're able to tell us, and I'm pleased it helps you to tell us, but I really want you to keep calm, and to see things in their proper perspective. This regular state of alarm is not good for you.
I can understand Mibs wanting to retain his anonymity. So do I. I wasn't asking him to tell me who he is - I would never do that - I was only asking him to tell us a little bit about himself, but if he's not comfortable doing that, then it's fine. It's his choice. Let's face it, we never really know to whom we're speaking here, do we - and I could be a Bunny Boiler for all anyone knows!! (I'm not though - more like a Bunny Rabbit!).
China's not blonde - she's a redhead - and probably an extremely gorgeous one at that - but Blondie (her sister?) dyed her hair for her, so that's where your confusion has crept in.

Actually, I hear China's more of a brunette than a red head Naomi! (My cousin is the red head) and blondie is indeed my reference to my middle sister.
As to my dress sense.... erm, I dress in what I like and rarely for the pleasure of anyone else. I admit that I have a liking for tops that my mother politely terms as 'risque' (when she's in a polite mood at any rate) but I'd still have to go some to look like some of the 'ladies' in my area. I tend to dress around my shoes. I like shoes.
Annonimity on here - well I completely see Mib's point. Possibly more so because I venture in to CB more than you guys and there really are some scary people in here. I do have a facebook account and I've had to put a picture of the dog on the profile as I've a couple of friends from AB on there and I don't really want the whole site knowing much about me. Especially as I've got a lot of family members on there (plus at least one AB member who also values their privacy). and so it's more of a protective gesture on my part. (Well, protective and I also don't like a lot of people too but I'm a cow like that).
Congratulations on the new grandchild Theland and try not to get too worked up about the loss of some items. It's horrid to have things stolen from you but it could have been so much worse and possessions are worth so little compared to people. I also think it's nice that your family clubbed together and gave you a chance to see how much you mean to them.

And I know you may not appreciate this but sometimes I don't think you realise how lucky you are. (I don't think a lot of people do so it's nothing personal). You have a family that quite obviously love you and someone to talk to in the evening, a companion you can hold hands with in the park or have a secret joke with and someone who just knows you. That's so unbelievably special.
I know things aren't easy with your son and he's suffering but he has you to help and no ones situation is idea. You have some comforts in your life that would makje others envious and you should hold on to that. Sometimes we can be so close to a situation we can't see the wood for the trees. You have a lot of love in your life and many people don't.
You have the luxery by genetic default to have been borm in the fairly prosperous west. No one will ever persecute you for your beliefs. Your children and grandchildren will never have to travel miles for clean water. You are respected and liked amongst friends... And even your saddle isn't all that bad. Sometimes things get difficult for everyone and with depression it's even harder to come through because depressives don't react to situations in the same way as everyone else but you're still here, still liked and still loved and no one can take that away from you. (And if they try to, tell them I'd like a word in their shell like!)

Words of wisdom, China my dear.
Sorry, I thought you said the hair was a little less red now. Must have misunderstood.
I don't blame Mibs for wanting to retain anonymity. Bad enough in R&S at times, but Chatterbank! Well, that's something else. There are some very strange people around. I can't even LOOK at it much!!
(I like shoes too - and bags - and I often don't like people much either).
'Ere Mibs, you're not that bloke who wears a black mask, a Dennis the Menace jumper, and carries a bag marked 'Swag' over his shoulder, are you? Well, if you are then all I can say is I hope you've experienced Theland's saddle!

Mmmmmibs......... the enigmatic ....... well, sometimes at least! (That's not you on the bike, is it?).
Dear people, I am soooo tired - I've worked so hard for the past few days - seriously - my brain almost hurts! Anyway, I'm here for my nightly dose of AB before turning my computer off and going to bed. AB - medicine to the weary at times.
A question. Do you, like me, find AB therapeutic - and does that make me- and you - odd? Or are we four here - in our little santuary - all odd? When you look at what's going on around you in life, do you think yourself odd? I do. I've always felt odd. I'm the proverbial square peg in a round hole because I find - and have always found - most human beings to be very odd indeed. Odd innit?
Someone - about a hundred years ago on this thread -suggested inviting others to join in, but if we did, they would also have to be odd, wouldn't they, otherwise it wouldn't do at all, because they wouldn't fit in and they'd be odd? So whom would you suggest. I've been mulling this over - (not for want of something more productive to do - simply as a temporary escape) - and possibly because my brain is so tired tonight, I can't think of anyone at all who would fit the bill, except possibly Luna. Everyone else is either far too sensible - far too argumentative - or far too nutty!
Your thoughts would be very much appreciated. I wish you a very goodnight my dears - and the most beautiful dreams. Sleep well. Many kisses to you. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Me? Which one? I wish and I don't think so . . . I don't recognise the bike and I never had the good sense to wear a brain protector.

Hi Lunar,
Good to hear from you pet, how's the view these days? Give Theland my love and best wishes if you're in touch please.
Naomi - Am I odd? No, I don't think so at all. It has been said several times in my life that the mould was broken when I was done cookiing but it's not true. I only have to look how alike I am to my sisters and cousin to see I'm not that different. In fact it annoys me, I've never wanted to be different and I sure as heck never asked to be... and any second now I'm going to say I didn't ask to be born too! ;0)
I am however frequently the odd one out... which has become such a reoccuring theme I have started to believe that the blame lies squarely with me. I'm not sure I find AB therapeutic, sometimes it makes me darn right depressed and angry but at least there's usually someone to talk to which there isn't always (ever) around here at the moment and I'm too sociable a person to be constantly alone. That romantic nomadic approach only works in hollywood movies in my opinioin. So I guess in a rather long winded way I'm saying, nope, I don't think you're odd. But then I never really think anyone is just usually a bit misunderstood. (Except for creeps and weirdos who are just that!)
As to inviting others.... Well who's to say others aren't looking on... However, in no particular order some of the nicest people on this site (and indeed off it) who's names you may recognise include jno (possibly the nicest actually even if I do take bets on a daily basis as to their sex), Boo (funny, funny, lovely lady), Goodsoulette (music taste dubious and there's a strong possibility we were seperated at birth), Octavius (also a smartarse though), NJOK (don't think he's around so much any more) and Newsdesk, (he'd bring his own salt but you'd need to cover any open wounds... I jest, whoever they are in my experience are really quite sweet). As to whether I'd actually invite them... Well

Christ... I also forgot to mention Gromit on that list. This is why I hate lists, I always forget stuff on lists and then have to kick myself which if I'm wearing heels hurts! Grom's could actually give Mibs a run for his money when it comes to links... I think Mibs would still win but it would be a close match!
I am now thinking hard about other random ABers who are lovely (and quirky) enough to fit in round here....Mind you, I don't want to be cliquey either... It's a tough one!
