    When you smoke you don't really notice the smell. It wasn't until I quit smoking years ago that I realised how strong the smell is when you smell it on someone else.


    It's not the smoking really causes that, it's the lack of personal hygiene and no consideration for other people :(


    I'd smoke 20 odd a day myself for the last 20 years, I'm aware I could knock a camel at 20 paces if I don't keep a clean gob of choppers and wash myself regularly :D


    (the fact I've almost no sense of smell could be due to other, *cough*, habits I quit a number of years ago, I'd still get a whiff of someone who couldn't wash themselves though... or the office lumberjack :()

    :(:mad: Why is it so fecking hard to find a nice comfy pair of kitten heels:confused: I've torn the ligaments in my left ankle and calf a few times over the years, ironically never while wearing heels, and now there's a permanent weakness in the ankle that makes it very easy to tear the ligament. I just want a nice pair of shoes with a sturdy kitten heel that I can wear with a dress. Flat shoes just don't have the same impact with a dress and make me feel dowdy. I don't even like dresses and I'll probably end up doing my ankle again even in low heels.

    Wedges.

    I badly injured my ankle a couple of years back, I'm still extremely wary of it. Wedges are great for giving you extra support while still making you feel good in a dress :)

    People who drive along at 25mph and then apply the brake all the way down a hill...I thought i would have a heart attack from the rage building up inside me....
    People who dont indicate even though they are doing a 360 at the roundabout..Of course I presumed he would choose a different exit to the one he came from...silly me:rolleyes: The fact that the 2 cars after him also didnt indicate nearly pushed me over the edge...I honestly think I will die from road rage...
    Also the big fat 50plus yr old man that has attacked(verbally) my daughter 2 weeks in a row over parking NEAR his house (on a public road:confused:) All I will say is that the gloves are off..He is an assh*le that I have observed for years carrying on like a lunatic..Now she was well able for him but I am fuming over it..He has picked on the wrong person this time and wont be getting away with it...
    I only left the house for 2 hrs today and met with nothing only TIAs..Think I will just stay housebound and definitely give up driving from now on..:D

    While we are talking about driving...

    When it is foggy...............TURN ON THE FOG LIGHTS!!!!


    Grey cars, in fog, without any lights on, the drivers should have hedgehogs shoved up them.

    The taxi driver this morning at 5.35 am approaching the new Newlands overpass who decided that the warning signs that the 2 right lanes were closed didn't apply to him, braked then accelerated and swung in in front of the car that was in the open lane making him brake hard in front of me making me brake hard and the other car that ignored the closed lanes nearly hitting me behind, then the same Taxi going on to the M50 South (on that loop) didn't know which side of the white line he wanted to be, sailing from left to right and nare an indicator, till I woke him up with my hand on the horn and lights on full, bloody unreal.

    Pennies have lovely kitten heels for ten euro (they're about 1.5/2inches). They come in black, colbat, beige and red. They're so comfy, and really easy to walk in. I am not home right now but when I get home later I'll take a pic and show you, they might suit?

    It's horrible and annoying when bad luck just follows you around. I finally found my car tonight, and when I got back to my car i must have left lights on or something as the car was dead. :(
    Having no luck this week and am being seriously trolled. I think I need to start medicating myself to stay calm

    I'm off the cigarettes 2 days now. I've done it before but had a few while on a night out and was vaping. I ended up back on 20+ a day.

    This time I'm going cold turkey and I'm weirdly enjoying it. I'm treating myself to things that I would have just spent on smokes. Saving €11 a day!

    The annoying part....is that I keep looking forward to one. I eat dinner and I'm already imagining how good the cigarette will be after, then I remember and I don't enjoy my dinner.

    Insomnia.

    Random people adding me on facebook really grates on me, have no idea why I get so annoyed but an hour later I'll still be thinking "who do they think they are?!"

    :eek: Is he attacking you?

    oh no; this is pure cupboard love..Just makes it very hard to walk and to stop laughing also No idea where he learned to do that... craves affection

    .By the way talking re things bieng hard is NOT moaning OR boasting and nor is talking re what we do and give, It is a sharing a love to hear and yes I would feed my cats and dogs rather than myself if I ran out of money and commiserate.

    Ok this one is totally my fault.

    When an oncoming car is driving at night and I'm unsure if they've their full headlights on or not, or especially if they've left them on inadvertently, I bloody stare right at the light! Why do I do this? what's wrong with my retarded brain that I must act light a deer in headlights in order to confirm, to no end, that yes that's a really bright light!?

    Then drive for the next minute with a halo of a headlight burned into the centre of my vision. Dumb brain.

    When I smoked, it was only after a meal, at one stage I was down to fifteen meals per day:D

    Making my way home yesterday I spot a couple up ahead with two kids, one in a buggy and the other having a massive hissy fit on the ground, appearing to take all her anger out on a scooter that she was wrestling with. Her parents were completely ignoring her, just standing there, maybe hoping she'd calm down of her own accord.

    By the time I reached them, a bit of a crowd trying to negotiate their way around her had gathered. I was runing late so made my way to the front and attempted to slide by in the tiny bit of space left between her and the wall. Well, this didn't please the father one bit.

    'Heeeerrrrrreeeeeee you, young one'
    (Surely not referring to me as a young one - should have gone to Specsavers)
    'Be careful where you are walking there, yeah, me little one is on the ground there. Are ya blind?'

    In other circumstances I might have entered into a pleasant discussion but the wife looked like she was about to rip me apart with her bare hands, so instead I picked up the pace and weeped for humanity

    F.uckers. Hate the way they're so feckin self-righteous and hysterical about their kids. Wouldn't mind most of them were probably only a free house ticket anyway. I got accosted by a pair of them walking to class one evening...after they rammed the buggy into me. "He-ar ewe, watch where yer bleeeedin goin thats a fúcking choy-ild in tha buggy!". W.ankers
