Welcome to Warped.
I wanted to come back in time and explain something as it doesn't make sense otherwise...(though not much of this thread makes sense anyway) I set up this thread as explained below with a lovely dear lady called Sunny Leith. We had a lot of chat on here and the silliness got me and her and lots of others through some hard times. Sunny left the site when there was some criticism of warped and she deleted all her posts when she left. That is why it doesn't make sense to start with as all her posts are missing and it is a bit of a one sided conversation.... Enjoy it all the same...
Hi there,
This is a follow on from the 'dumb things people say' recent thread that is moving here with a health warning!
If you are feeling sensitive please don't read this thread as you may feel offended.... and we need a place to say what we need to say without worrying about offending people so you have been warned!!!!
This is for those of us who cope by being irreverent and silly and able to laugh at all the bad stuff. If you want to get the idea, read the last few pages of dumb things people say, I might see if I can cut and paste a few over to get us going....
In the meantime,
Sunny, you had me laughing my head off this morning with that image of you sitting there in your underwear, chocolate mouth etc!! I think it would have been hilarious if you had answered the door and invited them in.... they certainly would have needed oxygen by the time they got back down the speed they would have run away....!
Magel, how do they find us?? I live up a very steep hill in a very remote area and they made it up the hill to us too..... mind you, they were so out of breath they couldn't speak... almost felt sorry for them!
Can't remember what else we were on about as I can't see the last post anymore but lets continue here with the laughs and anyone new, feel free to join in.
Looking forward to hearing from you

Forgot to mention had a great day friday met some mac friends at Rosie's (on here) pink palace, was nice to put faces to names... xxx
I started typing this and it disappeared and now I don't know if I sent it, wrote it, or am going mad... probably all 3.. oh well, deja vu and all that I'll start again...
Chrisie, I am sorry I made you cry- that's at least 3 of you crying now... oh dear....I am sorry. I'll try not to show you lot inside my head too often... just the silly stuff ok?
I am happy to make you cry with laughter though, so always read my blogs before warped as I don't do doldrums on here... and I am cheering up a bit now so try not to cry and please keep away from the tea bags... stick to gin in your tea pot I think its safer!
COLD tea bags, chrises, COLD! I think you need to come to some of my science lessons on hot and cold eh? They are fun cos usually we blow stuff up and then go out and play cos its more fun....
Anyway, hoorah Christine for buying shiny things... you are allowed you've got the card remember? I'm not even going to mention the new bag to P. I guarantee that in about a month's time, he will say, have you got a new bag? Isn't it the same as your old one? I might just say, no its the old bag dear.. you are imagining things... Actaully, he probably won't even notice in a month and before you start Brigadeer... I know, you do notive, but pretend not to for some weird reason only known to men...
2 things that made me giggle since my last ramble..
1. I didn't actually put in the semi colon ha hahaa
2. Before you ask, it wasn't that sort of bag I bought either!
You lot are certainly stopping me doing any prep for school anyway! I think the kids will love you all as it will be lets go out and play....

ps Chrisie, maybe you could do our fortunes for us? Bound to be more fun than the ones GC's give us... make sure mine has a penguin in it please...?
Hello!!
Thank-you for the hug Little My - I am much better today...sounds if you are to.. Must have been the weather?
It was Chemo Day today!
I really needed to wash my hair last night and because of my "bad mood" I decided to leave it until this morning - then stayed awake all night worrying if I would sleep in and then not be able to wash my hair...
Why is the "washing of the hair" soooo important ? Well, the oncology nurses "judge" me - I made a rod for my own back 8 months ago by making sure I had my make up on (and hair "done") and got "dressed" properly for "Chemo Day" (I don't get out much :( )
I then made a schoolgirl error of NOT wearing make up on "Chemo Day" and had at least 3 head tilting encounters with the nurses "Are YOU okaayyyy???" they kept asking me .
"Yes, I don't have cancer - thank-you for asking - now go and look after my husband!!!" - (That last sentence is a LIE - I CRIED BUCKETS!!)
Makes me wonder how shit I look without my make-up on? (hmmmm...)
Well, the good news is Hubby's HB is now 11!! and his neutrophils (?) are better than a fortnight ago -HOORAY!!
His back is improving with the help of the TENS machine and a little "gadget" I "found" from Ann Summers works really well at massaging the sore bits (Oh err Missus...) -I ONLY had to put his socks on - he managed his trousers by himself - RESULT!!
Just four weeks to go till the next scan and hopefully - no growth will mean no more chemo for 3 months (maybe...)
Love the "bag" story - and if ANYONE deserves a new "bag" it's YOU!! -
I LURVE bags - but I usually fall for the "Buy three of our shiny bottle things (one of which MUST be skincare) and get a "free" bag"offers - I have hunners of them!
Don't know what advice to offer re "work" - just do as little as you can get away with and play your Cancer Card(s) well!
XXXXXHUGXXXXX (there are 5 kisses for "P" there) - Just do it! (as the man from Nike once said)
P.S. I did sleep in so ended up having an "Essex Face-Lift" hair-do...compensated with red lipstick - think I got away with it....there were no head tilting encounters.
P.P.S. My grammar is rubbish - my excuse is the teachers were on strike alot in the 70's....
Hi Jinty, glad you are feeling better today- must be because you washed your hair ha ha. Oh you didn't... must be the weather then... You should meet up with reaperfighter's wife. She insists on a good turn out for hospital appointments!
You made a rod for your back there girl, didn't you eh? actaully, I think we need a cancer card for this one... couldn't be arsed getting ready that's all, so don't tilt your head at me! How does that sound? Though sounds like you got away with it anyway, phew, well done!
I go for the constant slob look myself.. no pressure then.... actually I could dress in blood stained rags and smear mud all over my face and not wash my hair for a year and they would say Oooh you look well... I am cursed... you say you look sh*t without your make up on, I don't even wear make up! never touched it since the trauma of the 80's fashion... and I still look good... hmmm there has to be money made out of this, or something eh?? Maybe I could hire myself out as' wife of cancer man and coping well' i could turn up looking sooooo well and amuse your hubbies with golf stories (or not) and you could go out shopping for shiny things... and not worry about what the nurses think... do you think thats a good business? in case I get the sack before I start back ha ha
Glad hubby is improving so much- and that he can put his own trousers on (ooerr missus) I will give P the kisses, though' just doing it' doesn't work in our house... he can't get it up and I can't get it in hahahahaha... rather like the Heinekin advert... radiation on your bum reaches the places other radiation doesn't reach... one of the more fun side effects... if anyone knows of a bloke with a willy the size of a pencil..... would be glad to meet him :o) ooops sorry gents too much info there, but I don't care cos apart from Brigadeer, the rest of you hide out back anyway so I will pretend you are not there, and now I've got this far and might as well be brave and tell you the dilator funny story later..
Oh and Jinty... 70's? teacher? Were they called Stinker by any chance?
Little My xxx
ps why the steam train (are you really a bloke in disguise?? ha ha that would be funny)
Ooh Get You! - Mrs I don't need make-up person!! - If you didn't do make-up and shoulder pads - you were too young to remember/enjoy the 80's hen!!
The steam train was another "let's do things we've often thought might be a good idea but never bothered our arse (sorry!) to organise " - Hubby loves trains and Science Boy is a big Harry Potter fan...(this is supposed to be the "Going to Hogwarts" train)
I have to say the scenery from Fort William to Mallaig is STUNNING - however, when you are INSIDE a steam train - you don't see the bloody train!!
We booked 1st Class - great idea when yer man can't walk the length of himself - 1st Class is at the FRONT of a VERRRRY long train..another crap idea from Jinty....but the picture IS of the ACTUAL train...
BTW - I did wash my hair (AND I showered too... just didn't dry it..letting myself go...cares not a jot!
PS - I meant kisses as in kisses - not "do it" as in do "it" - the yoof of today...sigh..
Little My, ooo is that one of them ?, please unload all the sad stuff too, and another, you have to do it somewhere, and would love to join science lesson but until I do what removes tea stains from eyes ....xxxx
Oh I am SO glad I found this page Little My!!! Nearly spat my tea all over the laptop when reading all this! :D xx
*waves to everyone* xxx
Hi, another 'early night' though to be honest, I really can't keep my eyes open... I think I must have been living on adrenaline whilst on holiday...
had to say welcome to ems (cariad9) another loonie to join us.. Colonel Christine recommended us to her... oh dear, what have we started.. we will be therapy on the NHS soon... actaully, i think we could do better than some of the things they offer....
anyway. as I am going cross eyed, all I wanted to say, was Hi to Ems my fellow Welsh person (I'm not Welsh- don't want to confuse you all there... esp after all the tears about leaving my motherland haha if it was just down the road- you might give me a slap eh? I just live just over the border into Wales) anyway, Hi, Ems...
Jinty, I don't wear make up cos I am a slob and apart from my penchent (sp?) for bags, I seemed to have missed the girly gene that does hair and make up etc.... and also as I said, I look freakily in robust health at the moment and what with my holiday tan too...no make up needed... don't worry, I will get better soon and then start looking ill again and then will need to put on loads of slap. I seem to work in reverse to most people... Odd. I did wear too much in the 80's hence not wanting to wear the stuff ever again ha ha Thanks for explaining the train... nice idea. and to inculde your family in your picture too, awwww. I have a glass with my Little My picture on too at home. Miakes me smile when I drink from it cheers!
Chrisie, I got a bit confused about what was one of what? but as for tea stains, drink a lot of gin and then you won't see them anymore... you won't be able to see anything, but hey, at least the tea stains will have gone. Don't use bleach though eh?
Have to go to sleep now,
goodnight my lovely loonies
Little My xxx
ps Hope you are ok Sunny, snoozing in the corner there... want a blanket? Big hug xxxx
semi colons Little MY cant have you the only one with them xx
