Good bye answerbank

[mibn2cweus]

Since Naomi will not give me the ****ing key I have decided to follow Jesus and be a Christian just like Theland. I am ashamed of my past history here so I'm going to devote the time I used to spend on ab to reading the Bible. No question really because I no longer care about what people think. I'll get all my answers from God from now on thank you.

[naomi24]

Yes, it was! Shame on you Mibs. Smacked legs all round then. (Well, not China .... at least not until we know whether she's been fighting. Hope those Foo people haven't given her two black eyes! She whinged enough when she had a sore throat!

[China Doll]

It was tonsilitus damn it and not just a sore throat!! Even my doctor congratulated me on only taking two weeks to come out and see him!

Foo Fighters were amazing! (Although that Mr Grohl has a bit of a potty mouth). And at least with my music taste I know whether I'm in a lift or not Theland! ;0P

Journey home was miserable though, spent the whole time underneath some guys arm pit trying no to suggest an introduction to Mr Sure for Men. Although I believe I did suggest he needed introducing to charm schoolbut he seemed to think I was joking....

Anyway, as to fighting... Don't be silly!! I'm far to vain to risk getting my nose broken!

[China Doll]

You alright Naomi? Why you thinking of getting all punchy? (Or at least hiring random ABers to do the punching).

[mibn2cweus]

China, Thanks for making it back in one piece. Me thinks Naomi's siked for battle, not that you had anything to do with it.

[China Doll]

I just advised following policy and procedure Mibs... There's not a jury in mine or your land who'd convict me ;0)

[mibn2cweus]

Luna, Wish you would check in once and a while (at least!) if not here than somewhere . . . I do not think I am alone in my desire for the reassurance of knowing that the world still has you in it. After the mess Theland made we could sure do with an extra splash of sparkle round here.

[naomi24]

Oh, poor you, China. Smelly armpits are bad enough, but what about bad breath? Have you ever had to talk closely to someone with bad breath? Whenever it happens to me, I stop breathing inwards - and if the conversation persist and I'm in imminent danger of suffocating myself, I find myself breathing very shallowly indeed! YUK!!

Yes, I'm ok, thanks China. Got a dreadfully worrying situation at the moment with someone I love more than anything else in the world, and it's totally outside anyone's control, but hopefully all will be well by the middle of next week. I'm only getting punchy with people who tell they will pray for me, and God will sort it out, because I know he won't - he's not there. If he was this wouldn't be happening. I know it's kindly meant, and I do thank them, but I also know it's futile. Good manners are paramount to me, especially when people are so caring, so I listen to them patiently, but inside I feel impatience - and I'm ashamed to say, anger, welling. Yesterday a dear friend called me to say she and her husband would pray for me, and since they well know my thoughts on religion - we've had major discussions in the past - it was as much as I could do not to say, 'oh, for heaven's sake, face reality. He isn't there!!!!!' I can't help thinking how very sad they are to trust in a delusion. Is that wicked? All views will be most welcome.

Blimey, I feel I'm getting into True Confessions - something I rarely, if ever, do! Chatterbank and me are not the best of friends! Time for dinner methinks - and a glass or three of red!

[naomi24]

I'm with you there mibs. Luna has been a little elusive of late. I'll go into PMs and summon him! Calling Luna .... come in Luna.......

[naomi24]

Dunnit!

[mibn2cweus]

When people offer to pray for me I usually give them the benefit of a doubt and assuming that they are, in their own crazy mixed up way, trying to be helpful simply thank them for demonstrating their concern, such as it is. This is usually conducive to getting them on their way and out of mine.

There�s usually no point and trying to reason with someone who has abandoned reason unless you're temporarily at a loss for thinking of a better way to waste your time.

[China Doll]

I agree with Mibs more or less Naomi. Just thank them for in their own way expressing concern and sympathy and then swear at the phone when you put it down. Or you could do what I do and not answer the bl00dy thing in the first place.

I've eaten way too much popcorn.

[naomi24]

Mibs, my sentiments precisely. I have to admit that once when life had decided to use me as target practice in a particularly nasty and unexpected way, I temporarily lost the ability to suffer fools gladly, and when a friend said she would pray for me I just said 'please don't'. Mean, huh?

Mmm... 11.11. The nightshift should be here soon.

Night ..... sleep tight. x

[Theland1]

Naomi, regarding your imbecilic chairman, I would be happy to help. Just say the word and I guarantee he will wake up with a horses' head in his bed, and that's just for starters .......

[Theland1]

China, I expect your fighting Foo friends would also help Naomi, by making the chairman an offer he couldn't refuse!
I wish I had the energy to write more, but that is not the case, so I too am off to bed. A very short night shift.

[Theland1]

I will send a message to Luna, and ask him to look in here.

[naomi24]

Wow, Theland. That's one way to cure the problem - although knowing the chairman, he'd probably think you'd got the wrong house! Isn't it odd how some people think they're wonderful when they're not? Can't they spot the signs of unpopularity? Ah, well, he'll live and learn. There are already dark rumblings in the ranks, and plots for his imminent removal are gathering pace, so before much longer, he'll be history.

I sent Luna a message yesterday. Maybe he'll pop in today.

[naomi24]

A question. When you post your funny links, how do you clever people search for, and find, all those pictures? You always come up with something appropriate - apart from Theland with his elephant!

[China Doll]

I usually type in the most random sentence to google images... Never, ever do a search for 'rude china dolls.' Doh!

[naomi24]

Ohhhh .... big mistake, China! If you tell me 'don't', I will .... and I did .... and I'm not sure I should have .... because I typed 'rude china dolls' into google, and the first thing on the list was a joke you posted on AB!!!!

[mibn2cweus]

Try pasting naomi here . . . Ohhh my!
