I sent a 40th birthday card to a friend, I gave a lovely present but apparently I’m not a very good friend…why? Because I didn’t say happy birthday via facebook… :?
I wouldn’t worry about that – First time I have tried e-cards – sent a father’s day card to a g/f in the UK, sent a thanks for the coffee and the logs to my father, and also sent him a thanks for lunch the other day!!!! oooops! :lol:
However, blinkin’ ‘ell, it is the thought that counts, and also face blimmin’ book tells you it is someone’s b’day anyway, so that isn’t special – so bollocks to her quite frankly! Or go out and have a drink with her and make amends!
When I first went into f/b I was completely niaive – added everyone I knew – what a mistake! So, I changed my name, and now only have family – ie. son and daughter (under duress!), and half-sister, so I can keep a tag on them, after telling them I got up to an awful lot worse than what they have when I was their age, and one special friend from jc, who also, only has just me from jc – safe!
It isn’t that I dislike the people that I had originally added, it is who they know, and who they, they know, and it ends up with a ‘nasty’ – which my kids could see!
Quite frankly, I think f/b is lethal, but, if you are very VERY careful, it is a god-send too!
May I point out that National Insurance is nearly as much as ‘tax’ these days?!! :?

A glass half empty – get the bottle of red and fill it back up – same as life really, don’t let things get too far down before making it better
Reckon when I can lift the box of rosé up easily – time for the shops, shortly followed by a nice high when I get home! :lol:

ooooooooooo spooky! I just opened a book I am reading that has a famous phrase/saying at the beginning of each chapter – this one is……
……….”Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise” – Sigmund Freud
Reckon he’s right! :lol:
For me, it depends if it is a hotel or self-catering!
Which ever hotel I have ever stayed in, ignores the Do Not Disturb sign, and inevitably, I am next to the cleaner’s cupboard!!!
However, self-catering, you can make a cuppa whenever you want, etc etc.
Both have pros and cons – just lucky I live in SW France! Self-catering, especially if hubby wakes up first and I get a cuppa in bed! :D However, I have to do the cleaning! :(

In denying causes of doubt, do we inherently create a false faith?
Much like an intrinsic sense of darkness can only serve the significance of light, is a degree of negativity an essential component of development and enlightenment?
Does a single candle struck in the overwhelming sense of midnight gloom exemplify light much more than one hundred held high to an overpowering midday sun?
Or, much like my somewhat flawed and cliched symbolism, is such a sense of illuminative perspective placebo like? A safety stencil and a mere coping mechanism? A form of comfort template designed in some way to rationalise or place proportion on the utter chaos of everywhere and everything?In short.. I dunno.
But I can’t begin to imagine an alternative.
Fear being the arbitrator.Dunno either, but, I guess, if you don’t have a ‘safety stencil’, you have lost the plot?! :?
