I've never had a steak, even if I cook them at home I only taste a bit to see if they're cooked ok,too much chewing imo lol.

Happy birthday G.,great to have a night away to look forward to,might book something myself, have plenty annual leave to take and work is stressful at the moment..thank god tomorrow is hump day, wishing the weeks away.

Mushrooms and onions are a given in my mind.. Garlic butter....

I mean I understand (sort of not really), and I know and love and respect many vegans and vegetarians and pescatarians, but part of me will always be, but why?

Yes! Garlic butter is so cool Grem! A real great taste when spooned into the pot with the mushrooms and onions. Didn't have any though so it will be the Aldi peppercorn sachets instead. Nearly there, once I clear the last asshole off the email. Mad at this time of night.:eek:

Eleysian · 19-11-2019 11:50pm

Happy Birthday Grandeeod! Enjoy that steak.
Hugs to Seph.

Honeybear didn’t say “Oiche mhaith, Codladh Sámh!“ tonight!

It’s a goodnight from me.

Pretzill · 20-11-2019 12:01am

Happy Birthday Grandeeod - steak sounds yum. I get a gra for a bit of steak about once a month - I love a tender ribeye with lots of grainy mustard on the side.

It was another tiring day here - I feel I got nothing done and now I'm contemplating sleep. Night all.

I'm not vegan or vegetarian but I very rarely eat meat tbh,my lot love chicken and I'm always cooking it but would never eat it apart from a pick,I'm a total grazer tbh ,I eat loads just not actual meals if that makes sense, I love going out for meals but always take a fish dish, weird I suppose but it works for me.

BTW I loved your poetry quote the other night, very apt for me,just need to put it into practice, I'm ashamed to say that I haven't moved on from something that happened to me 5 years ago, its like one step forward two steps back,it ridiculous but it's on my mind 24/7..think I'm a lot cause tbh...bedside, thank God its warmer tonight.

Grandeeod · 20-11-2019 12:23am

I had to literally drag the Cat downstairs for the supper. Chomping away now, then out for a pee - not me the Cat.:D I'll be eating a lot later than planned and then bed.

You are not a lost cause Duvet. You are only a lost cause if you tell yourself that, say it enough and you will believe it and once you believe it you will become it. I don't know what you are referring to so this will likely sound condescending but human beings can overcome almost any trauma/bad experience. We are amazing creatures in some ways. It's absolutely normal to have not moved on or to feel like you haven't moved on but you owe it to yourself to not let it stay that way if it gets you down. There are always unexplored options or previously explored options approached with a different mindset. One thing that I have found that works for me is to analyse a bad experience after the fact and try to take any positives from it, even one. I won't stop doing it until I get at least one positive thing from it, "If A never happened then I wouldn't have gotten B" kind of a thing.

The bad thing has already happened, many good things can still happen.

Bedside.
I'm a terrible carnivore Duvet Day, always was - even as a kid, just wanted to eat the meat or chicken or fish and would leave or hide the rest if I could get away with it, total savage! My mother and sister are like you, no interest. They pick around all day, like little birdies pecking away :pac: I put it down to different blood types or something. But seriously a good steak literally changes my mood and makes me feel different and happy, it has to be genetic!

That poet breaks my heart, his life was so sad, talk about a tortured soul... After a bad year of going down multiple dead ends a while back, I scripted that line over a photograph of my favourite beach, put it on the wall and just stared at it for 6 months, then I finally got bored, tore it down and went off and did some new stuff

Grandeeod · 20-11-2019 12:56am

Striploin Steak dinner done. I'm done too. A bit late after work so not so enjoyable. I was planning on having it so much earlier. Sleep well folks!

Gremlinertia · 20-11-2019 1:11am

Sweet dreams to you all. I'll just be over here roaming the dark halls alone *sniff*

:pac:

JupiterKid · 20-11-2019 1:16am

Horizontal on the sofa, TV on and my OH and I are watching A Touch Of Frost. Chilled and bedside in under and hour.

Belated Birthday wishes Grandeeod.

Go and spoil yourself...you’ve earned it!

I'm awake monitoring a possible allergic reaction to see if I need to head 45 minutes away to the nearest hospital. Another reason to hate being home.

Anyone ever find a lump in their mouth, prod at it and find it moves? Am weirded out.

Gremlinertia · 20-11-2019 3:24am

Your tongue?. Some food?. :pac:

Sorry, no not experienced that i don't think. Fingers crossed it fecks off for you.

Gremlinertia · 20-11-2019 6:57am

Deskside hoping Witchie is ok..

Ted_YNWA · 20-11-2019 7:14am

Bedside awake too early

Witchie · 20-11-2019 7:35am

Am fine but ended up in the hospital anyway. Dad came woke me just after 5 to say mum wasn't well so am now waiting while she sees doctors.

Gremlinertia · 20-11-2019 7:37am

Cripes, sorry to hear that Witchie

Eleysian · 20-11-2019 8:42am

Deskside.
Witchie are you still at the hospital with your Mam?

It’s Wednesday, hump of the week. Wishing for a good day for all the lovely people in here.

Autosport · 20-11-2019 8:49am

Morning all

Happy Wednesday!!!

Hope it all turns out well Witchie

Can't wait to spend the day shopping with my favourite man

honeybear · 20-11-2019 8:53am

Morning All! Slept like a baby Bumbóg last night. Hope everyone has a lovely day!

Witchie · 20-11-2019 9:07am

Aye still here but as it was quiet am getting myself checked too. Was a little concerned about blood results I collected from my doc yesterday coupled with my headaches, palpitations and now this rash and stingy eyes.

20-11-2019 9:18am

A damp morning, boo! Prefer the crisp frosty ones.
Fingers crossed witchie

Widdershins · 20-11-2019 10:20am

Walkety walkety walk in the rain. I hate rain jackets as much as I hate rain.
It's not cold so you end up feeling sous vide-ed in your plastic wrapper. I'd wear a normal jacket over a hooded jumper but I'd be nagged half to death. Lol

God I miss those days! Enjoy. Been snoozing in a waiting room chair and my sore neck is now sorer. Dreaming of my warm bed.

Pretzill · 20-11-2019 11:09am

Morning all - A lovely bright day up here. Witchie I hope you feel better soon, it's the weather for ills of all sorts. I spend far too much time in waiting rooms lately and they're never empty.

Deskside, with a full day ahead on my to do list.

Mam of 4 · 20-11-2019 11:34am

Cool and breezy here , found The Wizard Of Oz here last night lol , hadn't seen it in a while .
Happy Wednesday folks

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 20-11-2019 1:40pm

Back home after a quick round trip to Wicklow. Left home at 6:45, so I think I deserve a coffee and an extra biscuit.

JupiterKid · 20-11-2019 1:47pm

Deskside in my home office/spare room, reading final year dissertations I am examining and marking.

Meeting at 2pm in town, so getting ready to head out shortly. Have a good day all!

Widdershins · 20-11-2019 2:37pm

Processing a bit of new information which changes my plan in the near future. Not exactly good but I'm ok with a challenge I can meet head on.

Why is the rum always gone?

Rum, so underappreciated. I like a sip of grog now and then.

I know a Canadian who's this close to a few American jokes...he keeps trying to wind me up about being English but I'm not...Not that it'd be a negative if I was...

If you end up with mine next year, please go easy on me

Homeside debating whether I should go to college or not. Will be going to the gym but don’t know if I can be bothered with college. It won’t be relevant to my assignment anyway...
