goodonya Helen...  

I've dated 2 women called Emma. They both drove me batshit crazy! What's in a name, huh?

I have to ask this, and I do apologise if I seem rude. Maybe it's just the shadow around the nose that makes him look funny, and the beard... but why does the Spock in your avatar look like something out of an Aphex Twin video

RickJP, thanks for the welcome. We get plenty of rain in my area. It's like the Seattle of England

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

Thanks for the erm "unique" welcome sidneysiders, and thank you for the motivational picture. Not quite how I see myself, but maybe I'll get there. I also have social anxiety, which means I only go out once a week to pay bills, do shopping, pick up my prescription and anything else that needs doing. Then I scurry home and hide myself away until the same time a week later. So I've really just disconnected from people for the longest time. But yeah, if I can connect a little online, it's a start.

I really didn't expect to receive as warm a welcome as I have here. But it's very inspiring for me, and I thank you all for.... being the people you are.

Hey Starcandy! I live over in Leeds (it rains a lot here too). I'm the opposite of you, I went from active to lurker. These lot don't realise I'm still watching their every move, lol.

Have Fun!!

It be me lovely, it be... and despite being here in Oz for 42 years, I still 'aves me Devonshire aaaaccent.  oooo arrrrr.

Sounds good... looking forward to it.

Nothing wrong with meds... tho I'm not too fond of laxatives.  I love happy pills and stuff that eases the pain, though

You get out of bed for that? 

Seriously, me too.... have to at my age.... several times a night... morning, whenever I get to bed.... like it's 2.30 am and I'm still not sleepy.  Yeah, that's another story!  I suffer with insomnia and spinal issues that keep me awake.  About a year ago I got a Viagra stuck in my throat and I've had a stiff neck ever since.

Okay, the bit about the Viagra didn't happen, but I do have a stiff neck that keeps me awake nights.  The doc says it's inoperable but reckons he'll give it a bit of lubricant at my next grease and oil change... which hopefully helps me swallow these flamin' horse pills he prescribed.

Anyhow.....

Hey BoXXi! One of the nutty ex's I mentioned a few posts up lives in Leeds. Long may she stay there

I like your avatar. The art style reminds of some that I've seen before, though I can't remember his name. It became very popular amongst Graphic Designers. Aaaaarggghh, that's going to bug me all day now until I find out what he's called.

Thanks for the welcome karmat

Anybody want to help a gal out with posting images (specifically screenshots)? I see an insert/edit image button on here, but I've no idea how it works.

You know . . for an ex-lurker you surehave got the hang of posting pretty quick. 

This link may help you out with the screenshot: http://wiki.wincustomize.com/wiki/Screenshots:_How_to_make_one#Tips

ahhh so that's why  I spent some time in the mental hospital, YOU sent me loony, hmmm time fer me meds

oh and welcome Helen, hope you have fun while you're here

Bollocks!!!!  Be honest, you went there for a vacation with room service and better meds than we have here at home.

Yeah, that's right, Helen, mrs s goes to the funny farm to chill out with her peers... and to ensure staff wait on her hand and foot, she takes one of my strait jackets from home and gets one of the other inmates to do it up.  She's a sneaky one like that, let me tell you.  Also unbeknown to funny farm staff, there's a hidden zipper for quick release so she can play silly buggers, participate in basket weaving and scratch her own backside as required.

Starcandy -

If you'd like, here's an avatar picture for you - it's in .png format and is 100x100 pixels.

Then look at the top of the page and go to "My Account" and then "Images". you want the upper one. Then just choose the upper button to upload it.

If Starcnady and I ever hooked up:

Thanks for the link, Zubaz. You're a

I fluffed it the first time, but it clicked after that.

I hope those aren't Mardi Gras beads. I know what the women do to get them

Thanks for the image and link, DrJBHL. I'm going to work on one asap.

Hahahaha, yeah right, you just don't want to face the truth , and the truth is I go cos you drove me insane and yeah their meds are better than the ones we have at home  next time I will have you committed so that I can have a break

You're welcome...

Take your time and have fun... that one was just to hold you until you find a better one or a much more skilled graphics person makes on for you. Someone like theA/VMan.. K10w3, Vampothika, Xiandi, DaveBax, Po'Smedley or skinhit... there are so many fantastic artists here, Helen... and the better they are, the friendlier they seem to be.
