Hello, I'm new to this chat, a newbie to this forum, How lovely and chatty. Feels very cosy. I've just got back from a 3 day trip down to Herts to visit Mother in law and mum (we live in Grimsby), so a bit weary. Happy to be home:).

Mist, just seen your post re: Alcohol treatment. I had a similar experience with the drug which replaces the alcohol. In my case I was hospitalised from a fall, they underestimated the dosage I would need, and to cut a long story short I started to hallucinate that the "moonies:wacky:" were trying to keep me in hospital and brain wash me. I bolted:nailbiting:. Funny now, not so much then!!!

Anyway, I survived that and 3 weeks of meds and never looked back. Everyone has said I don't need a drink, I'm crackers without one!:woot::p

Hi @callyandy.... I am told this is a mad house.... it is good fun, welcome
 
@callyandy

Welcome aboard the crazy train!

To prove your commitment to the community, please take hold of the royal sprout in your right hand and repeat after me.

I hereby declare, being of sound mind, that I @callyandy promise to never again consume a grain of sugar, or a single button mushroom (because mushrooms are icky) and I further declare that I will make the entire community a cauliflower pizza to be enjoyed by all.

Swear it, and you may post freely :p

No, sorry - I'm not having that. I can't stand idly by and see poor, innocent, mushrooms maligned in this way. I challenge you to a duel, sir - mushrooms at dawn. (With perhaps a little smoked back bacon on the side...)
Portobello, button or chanterelles - choose your weapon, sir!
 
Yup, husband has just read your posts and declared I have found my spiritual home.

So I swear, with a cabbage in my left had, that sugar is the food of the devil, I will only eat button mushrooms on days that all other mushrooms are away on a joll and I will make cauliflower cheese with added bacon and eggs for any who passes by my Grimsby door.

Now, I said I was crackers, but I didn't say I necessarily conform. So Wayne, can I still join this merry band?

@debrasue, can you delay the challenge to more like 9.30? Dawn's a bit early....:eek:

Sorry, @callyandy - didn't see your post until this morning so the deed has been done, I'm afraid. Mist has been mushroomed, but it was just a flesh wound - I didn't want to hurt him!
Delighted you're on board - excellent swearing, by the way! - and looking forward to exchanging more lunacy with you later. Big hugs xx
 
Never been complimented on my swearing before!! Andy usually much better and adventurous than I am :yuck: Have a good day. xx
 
Welcome @callyandy . I'm the forum ghost of christmas past. The moaner. Ha ha
I hope you feel at home and enjoy your experience.
A lot of contradictions but only because we're all different. My only advice is don't get upset if someone disagrees with you, like I can, sometimes.
We are a huge family and like any family life there are bumps in the road. I've road them and found the family life on here is for me. Some leave but a lot stay.
Everyone has their own personal reasons for needing the forums. I had huge questions and I question those answers all the time, just because that's the kind of person I am. Now I enjoy the posts, good ones and bad ones. Hay! That's family life, for you. Enjoy! :) :) :)
 
Not good at conflict, tend to deflect it, but open to healthy debate. This group seems to have a healthy mix of levity and challenges. Like that. You've also made reference to Andy's favoruite Dickens Spooky!!:nailbiting:

Well, as you know I'm a technical ludite and haven't a clue how to add one!!! Secondly, severely allergic to selfies and not sure what avatar would suit my personality!:eek:

Got my ickle meter today,nothing flash, SD codefree. I think I've taken a pre-meal reading of 7.0mmol, as I was only diagnosed on 30 September with an HbA1c reading of 51.7% I'm guessing that reading sort of fits....:confused:. Got an appointment with the nurse on Tuesday.......

So how do I add an avatar clever clogs

No really Wayne, how do I add an avatar? I can't afford to disturb the force....
 
What format you are using varies a little @callyandy . You need to click on your list under your user name near profile. Either under profile should be a Avatar option. In there you can choose an animation or upload you're own file/photo.
I hope this isn't too vague.
