Old dog seeks new trick 6

[Ggrass]

Not sure if you really want the whole gory story.

Had s burst eptopic pregnancy a few years ago. They did medical invention, rather than surgery it created huge drama and later resulting in adhesions(scar tissue) in which my bowel blader and uterus were all stuck together. It felt like someone sitting or pressing in that area all the time.

This was fixed with surgery after me being really sick for 10months. Now with added emotional trauma, my tummy all the way thru is very touchy. Liquorice reduces inflammation. It tastes sweet and fragrant but not over powering like zambucca and other heavily favoured drinks. I've also just decided to have fruit and yoghurt to.

Mind you I love jasmine tea after Chinese, I like regular tea but hate earl grey or lady grey teas.

It's helping me feel less like fatty and sweet food. Good side bonus I think.
It's worth giving most stuff a go, worst you can do is pull a funny face and have a funny story to post.

On aside I notice when mucking around some one will make a comment, and it's stops me in my tracks to gives me clarity not even what they were aiming at.

The other night joking round at tea, siting next to friends hubby.
2 blokes wander up and say "oh this is a private function? "
Yes ..... group reply
"Oh we are sorry"they turn and leave

Friends hubby perhaps they are single?
Me they can stay if their wealthy and have a short life expectancy!
FH ...you never know your luck you might not get lucky
Me .... how hard can it be? Their blokes
Fh.... What you think "we're" all easy marks do ya?
me ... (Then released I sounded like a huge nasty user) said actually its a whole bunch harder now I'm older, it just ain't so easy.

That was all joking round, but I had a mirror held up real close to my face. Normal others wouldn't notice, but now our gift is we do. Gives food for thought and areas to work on.

You're right Gg, I'm not sure I really want the whole gory story.

I'm so lucky I've ever had any major physical drama to contend with.

It's funny how liquorice reduces the inflammation though. I'll think of you pulling a funny face. Maybe a bit like at my works do last Thursday when we raided the dressing up box and posed like crazed loons in the photo booth.

Just come back from another GAL activity. I went to see The Imitation Game, the film about Alan Turing.

And I got perverse pleasure out of not answering my phone (on silent) when daft lass rang.

I spent today in an annual planning meeting where I showed that this girl knows some stuff. Felt good.

During that meeting H sent me a long logistics email, which he actually closed with an expression of interest in my personal welfare.

During a break I noted his interest and email, put responding to it on my mental to do list, and went back to what I was doing.

That's what you're aiming for, Old Dog. Keep GALing.

The movie sounds interesting. I saw a play about Alan Turing many years ago. His tale is tragic. Hope you enjoyed the movie.

[Old Dog]

Good stuff Maybell, keep it up.

Yes, the film was good, and the tale was tragic. There's a blue plaque* on the wall not far from my work flat that says he used to live there.

There's another one for Robert Tressell, the author of The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists.

* Blue plaques are the way we commemorate the link between notable figures of the past and the buildings in which they lived and worked.

I'd like to watch Groundhog Day again I think.

And again, and again, and again ...

How did I miss this post until today? OD, you are cracking me up. Maybell, you too sweetie.....Epsom salts are gender neutral....

Someone said to me that they should advertise a Groundhog Day 2 in theaters and then just re-play the original.

It made me laugh so hard I snorted.

[Maybell]

Love it!!!
