Thank-goodness that message is gone again. I won't come here if its shown, even if the site is "safe". I just don't want to risk it, if I don't have to. I got enough stuff that needs setting up and fixing. Don't need to add my laptop to the list.


Merry Christmas everyone! I'll be back here on Monday catching up on things. If the site co-operates.

Hey Peeps How did your Xmas weekend go?
Did Santa spoil you?



Or was it more of a...

Karen! Mel! Merry Christmas!

That's the most important thing. Real friends are the ones you don't have to hide from. If you feel you can trust them to be yourself with them, they're the good ones

sounds easy, doesn't it? I know it's not that easy but it's something that's worth working on, believe me

Awww nerves are always a good sign when chatting with a stranger
It's your heart giving you a nudge

well that's a good story to tell. As long as you went past it

Sometimes it's hard to let go of a relationship that went wrong because you're blaming yourself. Either for how it went or for even getting into it in the first place.

you are. I think a lot of people get way too fast into relationships and then they just go on because it's easier or because they don't want to be alone, and they settle for less than they deserve and end up bitter.

what don't you like about it?

We just stayed at home. Went for dinner and a movie on Christmas eve though (the new Star Wars). Transfered some things from our old apartment, but the rest of the time we just relaxed. How did it go for you?

In the end I think I just don't like the Netherlands, because of the simple fact that I was born here. Seen it all. Grew up with this kind of nature and cities. Don't like the language (prefer talking in English actually) and the climate. I'm always saying to Jos that if we ever get a chance to migrate to the UK, or somewhere in the USA we should go for it. He thinks the same, so maybe maybe. My dream would be to live in a small town near San Francisco. Now that's a nice climate...if you forget about the earthquakes..

Hi guys! how's your week going? Any plans for the New Years Eve?



For me Santa was great this year, nothing to complain about and how about you?


Exactly

Sounds nice. No need for a lot of partying for the holidays. Good times with people you love is all anyone needs

There was some cooking but mostly we relaxed and I got to spend some quality time with my sis, and we played with our gifts

Heh yeah I get that

I'm actually not a fan either. I'm not sure why but it's not a good sound to my ears (but then again, I don't really like French either and people tell me it sounds awesome )

Not sure how long the UK will stay open but I think they'll change their tune very fast. As for the US, well I guess I'll stay out for the next 4 years but I'd love to live there too.

I believe it was Mark Twain who said the coldest winter he'd had was a summer in San Francisco
It's not like the rest of California I'm afraid but I think I'd like it better than LA for many many reasons, including the milder climate. Not to mention the culture, open-mindedness, wine region and the great gastronomy scene.

More cooking! and a fair amount of drinking (not that I can get drunk because I get sick first so I don't drink that much)
Joana will be here in a couple of days so I'll spend the end of the year, and the beginning of the next one with my two favorite people in the world. Can't ask for more. How about you?

how mysterious
My sis and I made a pact not to go over 200 euros and not to get more than one gift for each other. Ofc we got a couple because we're both liars but I loved mine. I finally got an Immersion Circulator to do some sous-vide cooking at home. Can't wait to get the rest of my stuff to try it and I got some lovely earrings.
I still have stuff on the way from other people so I'll let you know

Alwayshappy

Good to hear you had a great time and you both went overboard with presents, lol

We didn't give gifts, but I did bought myself a costume. My first ever. Figured it was about time that I got one, now that we have more financial room. I did already have some jackets, but for weddings....funerals..big parties, you want to go in costume. This one:

Men’s Suits, Jackets, Shirts, Trousers, and More | Suitsupply Online Store

No tie though. I hate them. I may buy myself another one for the summer months. Good thing is that you can wear the jackets from the costumes casually aswell, which I love.

Don't know if I'm around tomorrow, so in advance: have a very great New Year tomorrow!! All of you

Alwayshappy

Happy new year!

Well my Christmas was fine until my mom had to bring up the topic of Church with my brother. He hasn't gone in awhile and my mom just won't let it go. She doesn't realize that the more she aggravates him, the less he comes around. The price we all pay then. It's his choice, he is a grown-up. I'm not too sure who keeps asking where he is, I think she is making that part up. If not, just tell them he works or he doesn't live at home anymore.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Alwayshappy

That doesn't seem like a problem at all, weird that she makes an issue of it There comes a time kids are old enough to make choices themselves.

Full Throttle

With my mom, it's all about her. So because he decides not to go to church, she thinks it reflects negatively on her. What she doesn't understand is that 99% of the people could care less. Cause like you said he is old enough to make his own choices. But my brother is at fault too. He can't seem to accept that mom is the way she is and won't change. You just gotta suck it up or work around it. It's hard though because no matter what you do, it's never good enough for her. You could do 98 thing right, but she will focus on the 2 things you didn't do. She is a real negative nancy.


It's getting cold here again. Super windy out too. I'm suppose to go to the doctors on Thursday, but I'm going to see if I can change it. Negative temp with wind chill, won't be good for my lungs.

I'm dreaming about being on a nice beach. Sun is shining and it's like 75 degrees. Who is with me?

Alwayshappy

I'd sign for a trip to a hot island somewhere!

Good luck with your cold! Whenever I get a cold I'm just not worth a penny. At least when my husband gets a cold he can still function, he can do everything he can do when he doesn't have a cold. For me? I just want to sleep. Impossible to focus on anything else.

Peeeps! :grouo_hug: I don't know where my mew year message went
I could swear I posted on sunday. My sis thinks I was too drunk and I didn't hit reply but I definitely wasn't that drunk!



So back to your previous posts.

Ingmar that suit looks veeeeery cool! Totally the kind I'd get if I was a guy
And I know it's been a while now but I can't help 'aaaawwww'ing when you call Jos "my husband" (yes I'm hopeless like that :lol)

Mel I'm totally with you on that beach! It's only -5C here but my asthma is not being cool and my face feels like leather

Full Throttle

Cool smilie. Happy New Year to you too!

My entire body feels like leather. I don't like lotion much. Too greasy. I wish I could talk my folks into using the humidifier that I spent $65 on. But they don't think we need it as the house has enough moisture. Then why is my skin so dry and my eyes so dry?

The beach is just the perfect temperature. The breeze off the ocean is great. The smell is awesome too. Overall I would just feel better.
