How do you feel right now?

[Steve Jones]

Cold

All that nice sunshine over the weekend hides the fact that it's still bl**dy cold in the mornings.  Just been standing talking to the next-door neighbour (another member of the brotherhood of dog-walkers) and comparing notes as we've both got dogs that have recently had strokes.  Amazing how quickly your body temperature drops when you stand still and yap...

Yep I was scrapping the ice of my car this morning again I thought we'd finished with that malarky.

[PH]

I feel... sad...

Last saturday it was the birthday of a friend of mine. So in the evening we all went to her place, and my ex girlfriend was there too. I talked to her and I still think and feel there's this 'chemistry' between us. It's very difficult... I'm still in love with her... And sometimes (like this) I miss her very much...

I just had to write (type) it off me.

Yep it's always difficult meeting up with ex's.

It doesn't get easier you just get more used to it. 2 of my ex's are godparents to some of my relatives children  which meant that I would still see them often whether I wanted to or not.

Yep it's always difficult meeting up with ex's.

Well, yes.
There were two other ex's at the party too.
One was my girlfriend for a week (almost ten years ago...) and the other one turned out to be a b*tch, so good riddance...

But my recent ex-girlfriend was my girlfriend for more than three years. And somehow I cannot forget her.
And she gave me hints that she can't forget me either... She has been through a "down period", so it could be that it's gotta do with it. I'm not so sure...
It's a bit of a crazy situation, and I don't know why I am telling you all this.

Ah, but I feel a bit better now.

Still stressed though... Tomorrow my mentor will take a look at how I teach the children a lesson (literally).
And last friday it went totally wrong in that class... So I'm preparing a doom scenario...

Somehow it always seem crazy after fact no matter how it goes.

Well said, sir.


I feel your pain, Paco.  Now I need to go play something loud that none of my exes would like, so I can stop feeling it.

Hardly a consummated affair, I mean, you would'v been about eleven 

Yeah, relationships cause a lot of suffering ... until maybe one fine day, if you're lucky, ya find (who turns out to be) the one and only, and that's the beginning of a real adventure

Yeah. It meant nothing of course.

Yeah, relationships cause a lot of suffering ... until maybe one fine day, if you're lucky, ya find (who turns out to be) the one and only, and that's the beginning of a real adventure 

Yeah, but I was sooo sure she was the right one for me. And to be honest, I still haven't found anyone like her. I think I would have a hard time not thinking about her, when in a new relationship...
Ok, that sounds stupid but...

[Nicky007]

Ok, that sounds stupid but...

No no, not at all 

Yeah, but I was sooo sure she was the right one for me.

Well, maybe she is. But be patient and don't push too hard. Just be around, and enjoy her company when the occasion arises naturally.

Ms 007 and I were friends for almost two years before we took the leap. And it's been a real adventure right from the beginning, including the friendship phase 

Nicky.

[Iggy]

Hear hear.

friendships are the best (imo) but not the most exciting way to start relationships.

[Nicky007]

Iggy, are you the screwdriver ?

"Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Reeds driftin' on by you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
blossom in the trees you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good"

I guess that sums it al up!

Nice lyric, Tom. 

Now feeling: Nervous.

Smallest cat is curled up on my lap.  Having got past the 'testicular shredding' phase she's now in purr mode

Good luck from me as well.  I'm going to have to do something along those lines myself before too long.  Anyone know of any jobs that call for talking to Europeans who like obscure music (EWLOM's) about Marmite while drinking Guinness in the middle of the night?

I know that phase.  And cats all seem to revert to it when they figure out I'm allergic to them.   


On topic - Feeling puzzled.  I'm not sure which of the several tasks I've got to do should be avoided first.

I think they're taught how to perform a tacklostomy at feline finishing school

Knock up some kind of wall chart or project plan, always good for putting things off

Do i detect a man that not only works in IT but works on projects as well?

Manatee you should probably organise a meeting as well

I had an online meeting night before last.  As usual, I got on 45 minutes after it started, and also as usual, I missed nothing.

Never had one of those do they work? Or is it just more Bullsh*t

Obviously it's just more bs, but it has the advantage that nobody can tell if you ignore it and play Minesweeper or go to the loo.

This particularly thingy is a totally online endeavor with people all over the place, so it's online by necessity.  Sounds pretty good on the face of it, but it doesn't generate much in the way of income.  Really more of a hobby.
