morning all...the wanderer returns!!and here I am? how are you all?Altho not being posting, I have peeked in now and again..Couple of reasons why I decided to take some time out...firstly I have got some personal issues to sort out that are really bugging me..not life threatening or anything like that, but def do need addressing one way or the other,so needed some time out for thinking.....
Secondly and for me which was more important...was the goigs on over the hippy /Evie scenario..this isnt going to be a long drawn out tirade, but I just want to say how I felt.
Firstly I have no knowledge of this lady or her past with the abusive comments being banned etc,secondly I appreciate this thread is based around trust and honesty ..both to yourself and others,which may have raised an issue of culpability in terms of her position...but this person was asking for help to stop drinking, which I thought was the whole ethos behind this sites existance
....and was met by a "stone the infidel"mentality... even by people who did not know her or anything about her!!As I said to someone else..have any of us never been guilty of doing something not quite as per rote?..and then some of the self same people did a 360 in attitude saying they hoped she would come back!!!!Personally speaking I hope she makes it ..has and will have my support wherever she is
I honestly had to do some deep searching to consider if I wanted to be part of this...the one big thing that swung it for me was I got a message from someone asking if I was ok and that I had helped them and did still do so..that for me is what it is all about..that one person..and you know who you are with your pm far outweighed all the negative crap...so thank you for what you did

President Obama gets off a helicopter in front of the White House while carrying two piglets. A Marine guard salutes and says, "Nice pigs, sir."
The president replies, "These are not pigs. They're authentic Arkansas razorback hogs. I got one for Secretary of State Clinton and one for Speaker of the House Pelosi."
The marine says, "Excellent trade, sir."
One Saturday afternoon, a man was sitting in his lawn chair drinking a beer and watching his wife mow the lawn.
A female neighbor happened to be walking by and was so outraged at this that she ran over and shouted at the man, “You should be hung!”
“I am,” he calmly replied. “Why do you think she cuts the grass?”
A little old lady in a nursing home raises her fist and says, “Whoever can guess what’s in my hand can have sex with me tonight.”
A little old man in the back of the room yells, “An elephant.”
The old lady says, “Close enough.”
Four surgeons were taking a coffee break and were discussing their work.
The first said, “I think accountants are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is numbered.”
The second said, “I think librarians are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is in alphabetical order.”
The third said, “I like to operate on electricians. You open them up and everything inside is color-coded.”
The fourth one said, “I like to operate on lawyers. They’re heartless, spineless, gutless, and their heads and their ass are interchangeable.”
Two guys were stranded on a deserted island for over 20 years. One day, one finds a bottle and a genie comes out. I will grant each of you only one wish.
The first guys immediately asks to go back home and poof, he’s gone.
The seconds thinks for a minute then says to the genie, “You know I’m gonna miss him, can you bring him back?”
Bud and Jim were a couple of drinking buddies who worked as airplane mechanics in Atlanta. One day the airport was fogged in and they were stuck in the hangar with nothing to do. Bud realizes, “Man, I wish we had something to drink!”
“Me too.” replies Jim, “Y’know, I’ve heard you can drink jet fuel and get a buzz. You wanna try it?”
So they pour themselves a couple of glasses of high octane hooch and get completely smashed. The next morning Bud wakes up and is surprised at how good he feels. In fact he feels great. No hangover. No bad side effects…Nothing!
Then the phone rings and it’s Jim. “Hey, how do you feel this morning?” he asks.
“I feel great.” says Bub. “How about you?”
“I feel great too.” Jim responds, “I don’t even have a hangover, we ought to do this more often.”
“Yeah, well there’s just one thing…Have you farted yet?”
“No…”
“Well, don’t, ’cause I’m in Phoenix!”
A cop pulls over a ditzy looking blonde driving a convertible and asks to see her license.
“What’s that?” she asks.
He explains that it’s the card proving she knows how to drive.
“Oh, I have one of those,” she says.
After checking her information in the squad car, the cop says, “I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to give you a ticket.”
“What’s a ticket?” she asks.
The cop thinks about it, looks both ways, and pulls out his d*ck.
The girl slumps in her seat and says, “Oh, no. Not another Breathalyzer.”
Three old men are at a health institute for a memory test.
“What’s three times three?” the doctor asks the first old man.
“Two seventy-four,” he replies.
“What’s three times three?” the doctor asks the second old man.
“Tuesday,” he replies.
The doctor figures he’s in for a long morning. He turns to the third old man and asks, “OK, your turn. What’s three times three?”
“Nine,” he replies.
“Yes!” exclaims the doctor. “How did you get that?”
“Easy, Doc. I just subtracted 274 from Tuesday.”
