Hiya Ireland, lovely to hear from you. As for me, husband left and now threatening to remove financial aid. Then will probably lose house, then out on street and consequently will lose my job. Not looking foreard to trying to live like a hobo or whatever, but apart from that I’m ok. how about you :)
Hey, I have to go to work in 5 mins. I just wantd to say goodbye. I have managed to upset someone really badly (unintentionally) so I am leaving all the sites, I can’t deal with it anymore. I forgot rule number 1, not to take these things too seriously and I managed to hurt myself in the process.
I’m not really good at friendships it seems, I always manage to put my bloody foot in it somehow. I have managed to get Sully to agree to close my account here, and I’ll do that when I have said goodbye to those I wish to. Take care. :)
Don’t worry about it. Thepp is fine, and so are we. It’s just not worth it, what she says, says it all. They can;t even see why they are in the wrong. Thanks for the heads up *hugs* :)
Hi, I would like to invite you to a brand new site set up by Thepp. It is in it’s infancy, so Thepp has asked me to only invite a few people I trust. It is not meant to replace Help, just be an alternative type of site at times.
I’d love to see you there and see what you think. Thepp has an idealism about what he wants. Hope you like it, you’ll see a few familiar faces there! Thanks.
Whilst I love chatting to losts of different people on the site, there are only about 6 or 8 people I would consider ‘real’ enough (honest, true, nice etc etc) to trust them in real life. And you are one of them. ;)
Anubis wrote: Bye Max. I also have had a similar experience. Although to be fair, from both sides of the coin. I tried to avoid someone who became too full on and freaked me out a bit. But also I have made real connections here. But the person I thought I had the strongest connection with, let me down, lied about me (although they don’t know that I know!) and now just blanks me, and all for no reason I can think of. Maybe I deserved it, in fact knowing what a prat I can be at times I probably do. But it hurts, just like it would anywhere, being on the internet doesn’t soften the blow much.
But it also made me put this site into perspective. There are very genuine, lovely people on here whom you can go on to have ‘real life’ friendships with, but I take most people with a pinch of salt, and try not to get too emotionally attached. So I can completely understand why you are leaving, and all I can say is that I hope everything goes well. Take care :)
If their is anything I know about people, one thing is for certain, their is no way you are a prat, and you don’t that friend of yours because, he seems to be a horrid person!
Tired! Finished my last meeting today at 9pm and just got home. Came here straight away to clear my poor head. But otherwise fine. Got another very long day tomorrow and Thursday come to think of it. But Friday eases off and then a week of, wahoo! Are you ok? How’s your luck Irish! haha :)
Hiya, don’t worry, just ‘housekeeping’. I ofen close my posts once they are over a month old and have no further use. Just stops trolls hijacking them. But thanks for the concern. :)
That sounds interesting but a lot of work, do you know what Peel’s Brimstone means? I was asked this in the Junior Cert and couldn’t figure it out neither could the teacher, and I would love to know, do you know?
In school, I teach history to A level. But I am also a union person. And as well as being a senior person in the union in my area, I also am a tutor for the union.
This means training teachers to be union representatives in their schools. So they come on a 2 day course (which I get out of school for) and I train them how to negotiate with the HT, all the rules about the teachers contract and how to represent the members etc. (A stage 1 course.)
I love it, but it is very intense. This year I am observing the Level 2 and 3 courses (about 5 of them so I can teach those in the future too.
I’m looking forward to it, but it means travelling (all over the country to places where the courses are being taught), a steep learning curve on the courses, then trying to run the courses myself. Followed of course by being moderated myself 9and the stress that goes with it) and then eventually teaching others to run the course.
The cycle of life my friend, I suppose haha. But anyway, it’s all good and I enjoy it, if I could just get enough sleep! :)
Yeah, same problem just different sides of the coin. Argh! I teach, teachers, so I had 5 great students for the last two days (it’s a 2 day course) and they gave me a good evaluation.
I always worry with that, they are professional teachers, so every aspect of my teaching is under scrutiny, but I seemed to get away with it again! haha.
I love it really, I just get ratty when tired (or so my husband gently tells me lol). I come here to wind down and sort of empty my head of work, or I can’t sleep.
But after an hour on here, I sleep like the proverbial… haha. :)
Sorry to here that you are being overworked, I am OK, bit tired like yourself, I except for I am the student, I am shattered after a hard days learning especially on a Wednesday and Thursday (Engineering Science and Maths two bery logical based subjects)
A bit tired (work is very hectic and lots of evening preparation etc) but managed to finish at 9pm tonight, and after teaching adults all day I just feel whacked. But other than that, I’m all good. How’s things with you?
Will do. Going to make the dentists appointment first thing tomorrow. Thank God I have an NHS dentist (the same one for over 20 years now, which must be a record today!). Thanks.
No problem, and yes in your mouth, also go to the chemist and get bonjela it is designed for ulcers and abcesses etc. it prevents any pain you may have, and I think protects it or something! It does however and I am not trying to scare you but look for a lump on your body!
Do you mean in my mouth? That would make sense. I can’t even see the particular bit, just the general area with an inch or so (I think). But it was quite alarming how much came out, it was just streaming out of my mouth.
I screamed for my husband to come and see and he wanted me to go straight to hospital, til we saw it was coming from side of mouth (then it stopped). I have some good medical mouthwash I shall use to see if that helps. Then get back to the doctor and most likely the dentist! Thanks :)
Hiya, thanks. Stomach is just calming down now although I still can’t keep any food down. Truth be told I threw up a load of blood tonight, but after being scientific with a torch (haha) it seems it is coming from the top right hand side of my jaw, right at the back. So I have no idea what is going on now, but thankful it isn’t my throat. I’ll get it sorted though, thanks for the shout. :)
