GOOD AFTERNOON/EVENING.

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
 
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....
 
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 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!!

Your lack of profile picture creates a great disturbance in the force.

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!

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..... 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.
 


Thanks Vicky, I'll try....

Cally
 
She is lovely, a rescue from Battersea. We were lucky to get her, but she knows it!!!
