My apologies for missing the quiz last night. I got stuck in a 100mph gale, and decided the sanctuary o my daughters house was nice and cosy , especially when she braved the gales and got us munchies and a small libation.
/nanook o the north. Dundee.
Cheers Shaz,, i could listen to that song ALL night long.. thanks x
oh,what a world we live in.. beyond comprehension really.
I love your simplicity Cath.. I can relate to a heck of a lot you say, and even more when i read between your lines.. ( hug)

I’m sure the “online community for adults” lovingly known as Just Chat will survive the mass clearout and I’m sure new members will soon become regular chatters and “old regs who got fed up with the cr@p all over the boards ( ie me) will begin posting again.
It’s the circle of life you know… cue Elton John and the furry lion song
dont hold your breath catty.. and im not sure the 4 suspects who keep getting named, i.e sian,pats,fasty and pebbles WERE at all responsible for all the things they are being blamed of. how fickle folks are..

Oh I see it too…god! I dunno what too say bout this…but all I can say is this….Drugs is so
easy too get hold of..and kids try it , just for the sake of it! We all av probs..but not everyone goes down that avenue..I have…I will hold me hands up! and im 42…didnt do it when i was youger…but yep iv done it! and it does ruin your life! BUT!!! there is help out
there! But its true when they say the addictive isnt the bad one, if you see what I mean..yeah they should never have tried it..but I did..and if your low, its so easy too go down the wrong road! So alot of you arnt gonna agree with me , but I think there should
be a (little) more help available! Ok Im ready for being told im wrong, Bring it on! I wont argue wiv ya!its drawing the line between it being a “social” drug to an out and out addiction. We all start with being social beings. like any addiction from cigarettes,drink or the odd quid in the puggy machine in a pub. yeah i tried it all back in the day, but i was not particularily fond of the effects of tuinal and mogadon, that were favoured, back then. the 3 blues for a pound were more me , and many a night id listen to lou Reeds “Berlin” while speeding out my nut.
It was the knowing when to stop. and i have seen many MANY pals die of AIDS with injecting. all good looking , good people.. i can safely say Hand on heart,that the old Northern Soul crew are mostly dead from that damm virus. And i thought quite smugly, that i was glad it was never me. Ya assume life moves on,, and it does. but for every generation, there are a new breed of drug users. That maybe do NOT have the self assurance to stop.
I took ectasy with my own son ! I had them warned that if they wanted to try it to tell me. i took away the street corner mentality, the post Rebellion. He trusted me, I felt like a theif in the night scoring E’s :) what a fooking laugh LOL ( sorry) .. ;) but he has never really wanted it since,as i took away the mystery of it all.
Some mothers would be horrified by this admission. Id rather have nown he was with me and safe.than downing rat poison from some buckshee dealer !
cocaine/base is THAT trendy that its all over toilets seats ! 50 a gram ffs.. ! My daughter once told me !”MUM everyone IS ON IT” And i assumed she was exagerrating. ! I find myself talking to peers my own age group. with the tell tale signs. The nervous sniff, and how everything seems most interesting !! I admit to having the odd line.
It doesnt make me big,and certainly NOT clever. but i dont pay for it.
Dont beat yourself up Pip.
Yet i cannot imagine having a child hooked on heroin, who started innocently enough,and it felt good. I cant even fathom self injecting,as one that faints giving a blood sample. ID go off me head getting them help to beat this..
and as Cath said at the very beginning.. ” there for the grace of god..”.
No clear cut answers really. and no magic wands.
DRUGS DO KILL .
found this catty.

Can highly recommend a book called “The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas” by John Boyne.
I borrowed if from a friend and read it cover to cover in a day without moving from the sofa and it is only 216 pages long.“… nine year old Bruno knows nothing of the Final Solution and the Holocaust. He is oblivious to the appalling cruelties inflicted on the people of Europe by his country. All he knows is that he has been moved from a comfortable home in Berlin to a house in a desolate area where this is nothing to do and no one to play with. Until he meets Shmuel, a boy who lives a strange parallel existence on the other side of the adjoining wire fence adn who, like the other people there, wears a uniform of striped pyjamas.
Bruno’s friendship with Shmuel will take him from innocence to revelation. And in exploring what he is unwittingly a part of, he will inevitably become subsumed by the terrible process.”
Would give it 8/10
Dont know if your aware of this Catty but its just out on film. Hitting cinemas about now, I saw a trailer for it. I think this will make a grand job of showing kids what went on,during these horrible days.

Its those blinking pelvic floor exercises that are keeping me awake !
