I was gonna flip out but then I did find the ninja interpretation of QK on urban dictionary so fair.

I'll flip out instead that you edited to specifically not give me motivational glitter :(

nonperson 07-08-2023 10:42 PM

Do you need some specifically?

I meant that the collective "you" of RYL could have the honour of claiming it as their own.

I am not giving out glitter.

Pi.R^2 07-08-2023 10:45 PM

Always.

Also I bet you never expected to utter the phrase "I am not giving out glitter" in your life :P Also2 you are included in the collecting "RYL" you know?!

Also3, I don't have the answer about glomping but a) someone made a whole thread about it once (it's now deleted, not sure why, it was inoffensive but also didn't answer whether we were claiming it as an RYL-invention) and b) you are the first person to use the word on the boards in over 7 years o_O

Pi.R^2 07-08-2023 10:48 PM

oh sod that I assumed posts with 'glomps' in would also be returned in a search for 'glomp' and they are not. You are the first to use it in the singular for 7 years!

I have now discovered the place where someone claimed it was an RYL invention: https://www.recoveryourlife.com/foru...2&postcount=31

Pi.R^2 07-08-2023 10:48 PM

Also I'm gonna go to bed now before I bore you as much as I imagine I did last night with my tuble nonsense =S

Cacoethes 07-08-2023 11:23 PM

Goodnight jenna!

I am home and will hopefully also be in bed soon!

nonperson 08-08-2023 06:19 AM

I wasn't bored - I fell asleep.

Morning all. =(

Pi.R^2 08-08-2023 06:22 AM

Morning! Hope you have an equally decent day at work today?

Cacoethes 08-08-2023 06:53 AM

Morning guys!

How are we doing today?

tamobhuuta 08-08-2023 10:02 AM

Morning people :)

I'm ok. I was meant to be going shopping for a birthday present for N with L, but L has double booked herself, taking N on a date! So we shall see.

How are you?

one_step_closer 08-08-2023 10:06 AM

Morning everyone, sending good day wishes.

How are you all?

So you won't be going shopping, Tamo?

I'm going to the gym today. The group is not a thing any more but the support worker is coming with us for 2 more weeks.

tamobhuuta 08-08-2023 10:10 AM

It depends, there are other people in the house who can give N a lift.

Have fun at the gym. Will you carry on going once the support worker stops?

one_step_closer 08-08-2023 10:13 AM

I hope you get to do whatever you'd like to do, Tamo.

Yes, we're expected to carry on going ourselves.

Pi.R^2 08-08-2023 10:23 AM

Ooh, N has a date, how exciting! Hope you get to do your shopping too tamo :)

Have fun at the gym Lindsay, I do hope you manage to motivate yourselves to keep going once the support stops as it sounds like on balance it's a positive in your life? But I get that it'll be so much harder to go once the support worker's no longer involved.

Morning Beckie, how are you?

Cacoethes 08-08-2023 10:42 AM

Hello everyone!

I hope you enjoy the gym lindsay!

Where did you plan to shop?
Not your specific location, obvs! But like a mall or town centre or local??

I'm ok thanks jenna!
Had fun at the gym.
I had the random urge to try and balance on this thing.
It's half an exercise ball with flat plastic on one side. So very wobbly. I told G that i really wanted to stand on it, so he demonstrated because he is a child so has obviously tried it before, and stood really close to me while i had a go. Was fun and that satisfied the old brain goblins.
Had a lot of these random urges lately! XD

tamobhuuta 08-08-2023 10:52 AM

Next town along, a small retail park.

one_step_closer 08-08-2023 11:06 AM

Yeah I do like the gym (group). It's hard right now because it's just me and one person as the other two people have long term physical problems they need to recover from in order to get back. Plus the person who goes has autism and the last time I went I felt like I was doing the leading which I don't want to do. But I think someone is making up booklets for us whatever that might include which will hopefully help.

I've seen that thing at the gym, Beckie. Did you manage to balance ok? It does look like fun but I'd probably fall off.

How are you doing, Jenna?

Does the retail park have some good shops, Tamo?

Cacoethes 08-08-2023 11:10 AM

Retail park is probably a good place to find something!

The booklets should help!
When is the gym?

Very wobbly but still fun!
We were also cracking up because half the speakers in the gym randomly started playing smooth radio?? Really loudly!
Basically no one else reacted because they all had headphones in, but me and G were laughing so much every time it went back to normal then came back. And also this hip hop station for a bit?
No idea what that was about! XD

tamobhuuta 08-08-2023 11:13 AM

I hope the booklets help.

There's a few shops, we're going mainly for the tk maxx!

Cacoethes 08-08-2023 11:29 AM

I have to be in the right mood for tk maxx. It's a lot of effort!

Been on hold to GP surgery for literally 30 mins...
Been caller no. 1 for at least 10 of those

not_so_insig 08-08-2023 11:38 AM

Morning all. I slept very deeply last night. I felt tired. Nothing much on today except for waiting for amazon to come and possibly going to town depending on when amazon comes.

Wear gardening gloves and long sleeves! Protection is important.

Also good afternoon everyone.

Cacoethes 08-08-2023 12:18 PM

Jen is wise.

Afternoon jen!
How are you doing?

Pi.R^2 08-08-2023 12:20 PM

Afternoon gang!

The balancy thing sounds super-fun Beckie and I guess good to know which urges are OK to act on and which less so.

Lindsay, I hope the booklets help. Maybe you could say to the other person that you struggle feeling like you're leading it and see what they say?

tamo, hope you get to TK Maxx, it is a very pleasing store!

Hi Dawn, what are you going into town for? Anything exciting in your Amazon package?

Jen, I bloody was- it made me bleed through my gloves!

Also guys, big news, I have made a chiropodist appointment! Very nervous. I watched a video about what they do and I don't think that helped much :P

Cacoethes 08-08-2023 12:29 PM

Absolutely jenna!

Well done jenna! But feet. Ew.

Elmer 08-08-2023 12:33 PM

There's too much to catch up on (says me pretending like I'm a regular), wow you guys have been busy.

The ball balancy thing sounds fun tho.

not_so_insig 08-08-2023 12:35 PM

I am going to pick up a necklace that I took in for repair Jenna. The amazon parcel contained a dvd which I am going to review in my blog at some point. Plus some cat food because my cat has decided to become a bit fussy lately so am hoping that he likes the food I have bought. He did last time but that was 4 months ago.

Pi.R^2 08-08-2023 01:11 PM

Lioooooooooooooooooooo

Pi.R^2 08-08-2023 01:11 PM

Ooh, I didn't know you did fancy reviews Dawn, that's exciting!

Cacoethes 08-08-2023 01:26 PM

Hello Lio!!
How are you?

It was fun! Getting off the ball was tricky though XD

not_so_insig 08-08-2023 01:39 PM

It's mainly books on my blog however. I have had the blog since 2007 so almost as long as I have been on here!

long road 08-08-2023 01:42 PM

My brother's corgi has one of those wobble balls
She has to balance on it every day as part of her physio as she has the corgi hip problem (despite both her parents and her testing negative for it). When she first started using it my brother had to feed her treats constantly to get her to stay on XD

Pi.R^2 08-08-2023 01:45 PM

The idea of trying to convince a dog to balance on a wobbly thing is deeply entertaining.

My only dog-related anecdote is that a visiting daschund did a poo on my sister's floor due to being so over-excited to meet the resident cats.

long road 08-08-2023 01:47 PM

She also has to wear doggie goggles when she is on the more advanced laser tracked wobbling machine at the dog physio. My brother relating these anecdotes was very amusing and the jpeg is amazing.

You always have to lower the tone Jenna :p

Also realised I rudely
A)didn't answer Beckies question if how am I which is mostly ok but I did wake up this morning having an asthma attack which was decidedly not fun
B) didn't reply to Jenna's report that she was apparently wearing appropriate safety gear and therefore the bush was in the wrong after all. (More Info required on type, thickness and age of gloves to determine whether safety gear was appropriate)

Cacoethes 08-08-2023 03:04 PM

The image of a corgi balancing on a ball and also having goggles on is incredibly amusing!

I just went to my place of work and we were sitting outside and saw a passing dog go to do a poo on one of the signs we have out there. I was alerted to this by the woman shouting 'No! Not on the sign!' And trying to drag the dog away. Was funny!

Well how dare you not acknowledge mine and Jenna's posts!
Extremely rude! :tongue2:

Waking up to an asthma attack really does not sound fun!
Are you feeling any better than the last couple of days?

Elmer 08-08-2023 03:19 PM

Ehehe. Poo.

Pi.R^2 08-08-2023 03:23 PM

Lol that's hilarious Beckie!

Updates
I am now 15th highest poster of all time, tamo has moved up to 19th, Dawn to 45th, Jen to 210th and Zurg to 380th! Also since Lio is around you can join in the statistical information - 200th highest poster of all time :)

not_so_insig 08-08-2023 03:34 PM

Thanks for the update Jenna.

I have been out and have collected my necklace. They gave it a polish too so it's now nice and shiny :-D

Cacoethes 08-08-2023 03:52 PM

Lio XD

wait, where am I again jenna?

tamobhuuta 08-08-2023 04:29 PM

Im so proud of myself being 19th!

AND I got my sister's birthday present :)

one_step_closer 08-08-2023 04:40 PM

Are prizes given out to people who progress on their poster status?

What did you get for your sister, Tamo.

Gym was ok. No booklets but we just did random stuff that we felt like doing and one of the other members came too.

tamobhuuta 08-08-2023 04:46 PM

I got her perfume. L promised she'll like it!

I'm glad gym was ok.

long road 08-08-2023 04:54 PM

Lol at dog pooping on a sign I assume it was a low level one? Otherwise that dog is a pooping ninja!

In general feeling a little better than last few days. Sinus pressure/ congestion is slowly clearing with hot compresses which seems to suggest I don't have to contact GP about sinuses after all. Still rather shattered though.

Am mildly worried about waking with an asthma attack though (despite it being a minor one) as asthma waking me at night is usually warning my asthma is about to kick off big time. So I may have to contact GP about that instead... I have what I have decided is too many medical conditions XD Anyone want to take one of my hands?

Yay for shiny necklace Dawn. I do however now have the song SHINY from Moana stuck in my head
And I am blaiming you for this.

An appropriate prize for ranking up would clearly be motivational glitter as we have recently discovered that is an RYL exclusive meme.

Cacoethes 08-08-2023 05:12 PM

Perfume sounds lovely!

That doesn't sound too bad lindsay

It was one of those A board signs. So ground level!

Nah I'm good thanks jen, got enough medical shiz of my own XD

GP sounds like a good idea though!

I have braved the awful rain to go to aldi and get almond milk.
Now don't have to go out for the rest of the day!

long road 08-08-2023 05:17 PM

A board makes more sense I was imagining one on a pole for some reason. Or ironically a pick up your dogs poop sign!

Well if you ever get bored of your medical conditions and want to trade, do let me know XD

I CBA with GP. But have promised myself if things haven't improved by Thursday I will get in contact or if anything gets worse will contact someone before then.

Cacoethes 08-08-2023 05:28 PM

Either of those would be 10x more brilliant!

Mine suck, but i think I'd still rather have them than yours. Soz XD
At least i can happily ignore mine. Can't really ignore asthma attacks!

Sounds like a good promise!
Make sure you do though! *stern look*

Pi.R^2 08-08-2023 05:54 PM

Beckie, you're second and I'm really hoping RYL will survive long enough for you to become the top poster! Only 13 and a half thousand posts to go...

Ooh, prizes! Though that would be unfair on you Lindsay (and Beckie!) because right at the top there are huge gaps between positions!

Lol at glitter Jen. np was very assertive stating she would not be giving out glitter so if that is the prize, I know who we should nominate to be in charge of distributing :P

tamo, glad you got the gift sorted!

****. I need to get a life....

I don't want glitter. That stuff gets EVERYWHERE and doesn't go away!!!

Pi.R^2 08-08-2023 05:57 PM

haha! Oooh, np is reading! Maybe she heard me talking about her =D
