I decided to paint; it’s not very good, but I struggled valiantly, fiddled with settings I had no idea what they did (digital art, btw). I tried to paint the from my window (minus the lampposts and circles) I know the sun placement in the water isn’t strictly correct, but what felt best about it for me was getting the colours I love to see down on some form of canvas, in the shape of something I love. The sun rising light over some hills and onto what is supposed to be an hue covered Tay. Or, it could just be utter gash, who knows. Regardless, if I croak it, be sure to create a bidding war for it in the future. Painting is a great way to give yourself a bit of a time out if you're struggling mentally. I've done it for years when depression kicks in and it really helps distract you and gives you a relief from some of the shite your brain wants to dwell on. Sold loads now. Keep it up @SweeperDee 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we had lunch today she said, "I may not have liked school but I always worked hard". Astonishing the effect 6/7 years and two degrees has on the memory. When she was revising for her GCSEs she wept buckets when I suggested she make a revision timetable; would weep buckets when I asked how she's doing wrt said timetable; and would threaten to call social services when I asked her to leave her phone in the kitchen during her revision times. She was a nightmare and scraped by with just the bare minimum of work. But that makes her MA all the sweeter - she did it all by herself. You should stick that in the Pregnancy & Parenting thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 The wife bought fluffy bedsheets. Undersheet and pillow cases. Very comfortable but bloody roasting. Spent half of last night with no duvet on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few guys who have done this and it's never been a big issue (unless you're in mother-of-their-kids territory). My brother once tried to set me up with his ex, and I drew the line there. No chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 In my case, my brother went out with a girl for a few months and they broke up, but on good terms. He had a new years party and she was there, as was I. I saw him talking to her and thought it was about me. All night she was flirting with me. My brother took me aside and said I should play my cards right, as she was keen. I suspect he was trying to make it happen. She was pretty, but I could never go there. All I kept thinking was "he'll have smacked his knob off her face" - something he said he liked to do. Called it a Slabberdash. She kissed me at the bells and I was really turned off at the thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StellarHibee Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Sometimes when I make an order on Just Eat and it arrives late, I put in a missing order claim and get a full refund, even if the food is perfectly fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
