Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[Gwladysover]

I'm on the back row Blue between the two gingers. H should recognise me as I look like my Viking picture.

I’d recognise those Nordic good looks anywhere!

Good morning all on this fine day here ,I hope all had a good night and are well for the new day . I am off into the forest today to purloin a red Elderflower bush before it is too late .We only have species/hardy roses here so I have been lifting suckers from a pink and a white one and want to plant the Elderflower in the center ,we would have liked another apple but it would not be nice trying to pick the fruits .
Have a great day all COYB.
I will be interested to see Dithering Davey's selection tomorrow with James Tarks out .If he moves Jake over will he bring in a pensioner or a pup?

Morning all, feeling ok so far today again, what is this sorcery lol

I feel a bit out of the loop inhere it's been so long since I regular posted, fingers crossed I can get some normality back.

I'm going to have to go to the Drs though if headaches carry on the way they are because it's my neck causing it, it's extremely painful at the minute. I suppose with it being a degenerative disease it was always going to take a downturn at some point.

Can you believe my brother-in-law has the same condition but for some reason has had no help at. When I first got diagnosed I was on morphine, gabapentin, pregabalin and amitriptyline for my neck as well as paracetamol(prescribed) but they stopped doing paracetamol on prescription. The only way I could get it in the volume I needed was to take co-codamol because I made a decision to come off all the meds when I stopped drinking but feel I may need some help again.

Anyway have a great day all.

P.S Happy belated birthday to @peteblue

The main thing is you seem to be able to see the way through T which in itself is fantastic news .
I have a friend who stopped taking his meds because he says the doctors have no idea! He has however got his car boot filled with "alternative stuff " ,he keeps it there so his wife doesn't see it !
Get to the doctors and get what you need .Is there no way massage would help or would that aggravate the condition ?

Great to see you back posting T.

Make sure that you continue to get help with your condition/ meds when you need it mate .

Hopefully a combination of better weather and Everton not playing will see an upturn .

Take care .

Hi everyone, thought I'd say hello as touch wood, I actually don't have a headache today, just a very slight one above my eye but this doesn't happen very often.

I've kind of sacked off the football for the season, we're safe and it'll give me a reset ready for what should be an exciting summer ahead. Mind you it could have just been because of the headaches as I was pretty much out of action.

Daisy is good, she's got really really good off lead now, i can trust her when other dogs are there to come with me and not run off with the dog lol. It's given her a chance to be off the lead a bit more up the fields and I love watching her running around stretching her legs.

Still having problems with her itching. I've changed foods, tried tails.com but seems to have made it worse. Bought some more expensive pro-biotic anti-itch tablets and they don't work as well as what I was using. So it's trial and error at the minute.

I've started doing group at my mental health place, we are learning coping skills to recognise triggers for my anger, so far it's just been pages off the internet printed out for us. They have said it will be difficult and ,must be consciously practised as I am basically trying to reprogram my brain.

Well, hope you're all well and speak soon.

Great to hear from you, and well done for training Daisy to be her best self. Keep going with the group - you are trying to reverse years of thinking in a certain way so be patient with yourself

I think I spoke too soon on the headaches, blasted me as I was about to start my walk, Daisy dragged me up the farm which give it a chance to settle. She fobbed the cows off today, she just ran past, one sheep tried to interact but she ran off again haha little bugger. I let her off again for a little run around and even though there were dogs playing down the bottom, she looked but never went, very proud of her.

I've done massages in the past that have helped and acupuncture but my neck neck is now too sore to touch never mind massage, Unfortunately my cervical vertebrae are crumbling and causes all sorts of side ailments, nerve pain in my neck, lack of mobility in my neck and of course the bloody headaches. Your mate has the right idea, alt medicines do work for me but I can't afford it unfortunately, wish it was medically legalised.

Honestly Jazz I have not been this relaxed about Everton since Martinez first year, it's been a hard slog falling down since. It's so good a feeling that I am actually dreading Moyes leaving again if we continue the path we were on before he came back.

Thanks Val, It is hard I get stuck on step 1 as in when an incident occurs I struggle to take a breath and evaluate before losing it and then it will bother me for the rest of the day/week depending on severity. So I have to learn to try and not let the red mist descend as the say. I just wind myself up when in probability the incident was maybe not as bad as first thought.

Don't give me any credit for Daisy, she's done this off her own back, I've not done anything different

Sorry should have multi quoted ha

Other than that I can't stop listening to Sleep Token. They're headlining Download this year and have a new album out next month. The first 3 songs released are a bit telling. I don't think the masks are as much of a gimmick as they think, Vessel sounds like he has issues and wants to remain private. he sings about this and how it stresses him out when people try to out the band.

here's the last 2, a different sound again, a bit more pop


This one dropped today

I honestly don't get all the hate they receive on line. The music community, especially, rock, can be so snobbish at times. Also I knew they were an arena level band but didn't realise they were so mainstream. Caramel was top 10 in the UK charts. There's another similar band called Ghost getting rave reviews for their UK tour currently. Are they a band you listen too T? I must admit I'm not really familiar with their work but must delve into it when I get a chance. Stadium rock is not really my thing though so keep putting it off.

I have just watched the press broadcast and I must say DD didn't fill me with confidence .Mentioning Keane before Patto has me worried ,then saying there is no need to look at the reserves as we have Seamus and Ashley -combined total of 300 years .I warn you all that he will just reach the glass ceiling and consider that an achievement . I hope that he will be just a stop gap .

I've heard a few Ghost songs, pretty much mainstream rock, not bad. They caused a stink on the tour banning mobile phones, it took ages for people to get in. I personally rate them as ok not a band i go mad for but not a band I turn off and have a few in my playlist.

Sleep Token have blown up this last year, it's because they're not genre defined for me, certainly not a metal band, they hit number 1 in the Hard Rock charts in USA with Emergence I think, that's the one before Caramel, the album is called Even in Arcadia, looking forward to that.

Happy G&T Friday everybody. Hope you all have an enjoyable weekend. Cheers.
