Ye Go Girl ...
ye are NOT alone
Warning
Jenny Joseph
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandles, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
See what i mean!!!
Ye Go Girl ...
ye are NOT alone
Sounds like the woman who lives two doors along from me...
On the other hand, I must have had 10 sausages at my son's birthday party yesterday. What's the big deal?
Yeah, go for it, Ms S!
But there is NO WAY I would ever put sugar on lettuce. YEEEEEEEEEUK!!

You must NOT have known me back then. But I can assure you that if I were to "make up for the sobriety of my youth" at some point, this world will be in a LOT of trouble... and so will I .
A few people on this site can attest to my innocence-free days of yore. And... I don't think I said that I outgrew those days
You go Girl! Squidge mate, I am wearing purple already. Join the club LOL
Wow I went on to delete this post as it was just for the benefit of those who were chatting last night but this is fun so i will leave it lol
We can wear purple
We can eat sausages
We can gain weight
we can loose weight
we can eat bananas
we can cry
we can smile
we can do ANYTHING our wee heart desires
Cause we are among friends
Friends Love, Help & Support each other

If you mean sobriety as "calmness; coolness; seriousness; gravity", as per the Webster Dictionary definition, then please pull the other leg....it's got bells on it!!!
As your classmate in primary school, over a period of a few years, I can attest to the fact that you were ALWAYS IN A LOT OF TROUBLE BACK THEN!!!!!!
As you well know, you were mischievous and liked to joke around. As a result, you got in trouble with the teachers! You were very smart, but your hands smarted too, 'cause you were always "getting the strap" for misbehaviour!!!
And as for you having outgrown those days, I'm really not so sure about that!
That was lovely, WeeGili! Well said! Och, ye've brought a wee tear o' joy til ma een, so ye hev!Originally Posted by WeeGili
Was that not what I said in MY post? I said if my youth were to be considered sober, then wait till I get over that sobriety, and again, innocence-free days? Surely this is an admission of my *head hangs in shame* guilt from our days mis-spent in the primary school classroom.Originally Posted by Lady K
Must you rub it in all over again?
Someone hand me a banana so I can whack LadyK over her delicate noggin. Who the h*** cares if I get in trouble?
Aye, so it was!Originally Posted by Lady K
And no mention of sugar on lettuce; there's hope for the wee lassie yet....
Oi you! BEHAVE, Mr Monkey!! Leave Lady K alone, or we'll all be after you with a bunch of extra-hard green unripe bananas which can do untold damage to your anatomy!Originally Posted by monkey
Aaaah! Sir Lancelot Szin to the rescue!!! Thankyou, my gallant knight!!!!!!
May I suggest PLANTAIN bananas! They are EXTRA-EXTRA hard big green bananas!!!
I think they will do the job more efficiently!!!!!!
Aye, Mr Monkey, you'll be wearing purple all over without the need for any clothing!
We're a peaceful lot around here, let's keep it that way.
Eeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...Scuse me
This thread was started to so we could ALL support & love friends
me thinks Szin,K & Monkey too, if he is so inclined, should maybe be posting "their wee tiff" on the Fantasy thread
Hey, WeeGi, I was only trying to restore the peace!
Besides, I thought you believed in all that "eye for an eye" nonsense!
Sigh......another thoughtful thread turned into the Kay and Szin show......
Yawn.....
Szin, ye must be ill, its the first time you didnt use those smiley icons
Take two aspirin and get back to yer fantasy pages lol
2 Assprin? I believe there is at least two involved
but my warning to my friends, which this thread is SUPPOSED to be about, (caring & supporting)....is
JUST SAY NO!!!!!!!!!!!
