I finally got out and did my first bit of socializing on my own tonight as I joined a badminton club. I have to say that I had an absolutely terrific time and everybody was really nice and fun. Tomorrow my English shipment arrives, so I hope the bad times are now over and I can start looking forward to some good times again.

Good - hope things keep getting better.

I'm sure things will settle down for you ... keep posting even if you're happy & contented

I do hope so. Not the return to Canada that you had planned or hoped for, I am sure.

It's been here a week or two? .... it'll all be forgotten by Christmas.

Naah, These threads will still be here on this forum......

But no one ever goes and read back further than page two

I do! When I've been away for three days I sometimes have to go back to page four to read all the crap you lot have posted.

Well, at least it's very "intellectual" crap.........something you can really dig your teeth into..........

I havent seen any intelectual crap, but then some members have been on my ignore list for a while so that may explain

You mean that you don't consider my crap messages to be intellectual? - it takes a very intelligent person to go completely off-topic at a moment's notice.....l'll have you know!!!!!

No it doesnt, I do it all the time.

so....that just proves the point doesn't it.

I think our next poll should be who goes "off-topic" more often!!!!

No need for a poll to decide that one, you have no competition!

I'm trying to recall if you have any on topic posts actually


Nice attempt at flattery though, but I know how smart I am, my wife makes sure of that

I always start out with good intentions of staying "on-topic", but there are some wise-guys (who will remain nameless) who take great joy in side-tracking me!!!!!!........what's a girl to do...........
