Awwwhhh UKB... have one of them... :l

I kind of know a bit what it was like. I was a very fat kid and had the piss pulled out of me relentlessly for that. Plus I had no father and that was an oddity back in those days on a small island.

One girl at the secondary school bullied me pretty bad. She was a scary MoFo! :egad: She ended up in jail for beating her husband up.

It's in the past UKB and you have come a long way. You've changed your life and I'm sure the bullies had a miserable existence ya know? Whatever motivates a bully will be the exact thing that will make them miserable themselves. :l

Edit: When I say "in jail"... she actually served time. That poor man must have been the laughing stock and all. Horrible...

UK,

I don't know what to say. Being an army brat, I was always an "outsider" when I went to off base schools. I went to 13 different schools.

Some years were worse than others.

It took me a long time to realize my view of myself was not pinned to what others thought of me. Sometime well into my adult years, actually.

It sounds like a horrible childhood for you. I am sorry.

Hopefully, you will learn to trust others and know there are those in the world who truly care.

Zenners,

Yikes!!

I only had one really bad incident with being physically threatened. It was when I learned my temper was worse than I thought. I was cornered in the gym bathroom. She and her sister were much bigger than I was.

I went crazy. Literally saw red.

I got into a bit of trouble. :-( I managed to convince the principal not to tell my parents or make it public. My dad was a battalion commander on base and it would have ended up being a scandal.

They never bothered me again, though.

Hiya Cindi! How are you doing hon? XXX

I hear you on the trust issue... when things like that happen to us as children it's hard to trust as an adult. I'm very much learning the ropes on that one myself...

Doing well, Zennie. Have a bit of a flu getting me down but know this will pass and I will be back to my old self again, soon.

Still sober, unbelievably. I keep pinching myself to see if I am really awake about that one.

How are you?

That's my firey Southern Belle!!! :H

Something similar happened with the husband beater. She pushed me over at a dance and I got off the floor and charged her before I knew what I'd done. Knocked her on her ass and ran away sharpish! :H She didn't bother me after that either... but that could be because I left the island!

The same girl hospitalized another girl I went to school with. She severed an artery running through a glass door to get away from her.

Bullies are evil fucked up people...

How are you?

I'm sitting in a dirty house trying to edit a Lease for yer wan indoors. Not concentrating too well on the Lease and the floors are manky so I'm not really getting very far on any count today...

Been having a bit of ye olde panic attacks again recently... that knot in the stomach thing. I'm thinking I may need to get some xanax to manage it. If it's not one thing, it's another! lol...

How's things on the work front?

My floors are "manky, " too but I just don't have the energy to sweep and mop. It would make me feel better if I did.

Got a call last Friday that things look good so far. Fingers crossed.

I am tired of not having my own money and feeling helpless. Ready to get back at it. Daytime tv sucks, too.

Hello Army. JC told me not to be a stranger, so here I am not being a stranger. Just had a killer workout at the hands of a 20 year old, and not in the good way. :H My thighs are lowping already. I want to be a personal trainer and inflict misery on people too!

The Young and The Restless.

Yeah, there's a lot of drivel on during the day... even more than at night. I hardly ever watch TV... prefer Netflix and Amazon.

Sounds good on the job... what is it? I'll keep my fingers crossed for you... I'm sure you're more than ready to get back into it.

Hello Broken Halo! I wish I could say I've had a killer workout... I'm at the complete opposite side of the spectrum today! :H

The dieticians must get the same kind of satisfaction out of their jobs... ;o)

Oh yes BH... one must rest up after a gruelling work-out! It's in the roolz! ;o)

I've been a bit of a slacker in the working-out dept. lately. Although... I may very well go to the gym tomorrow after this convo...

It's when you pick up a Twix and put it to your mouth... repeatedly. It's all in the reps Tipps.

Now I must get back to sitting on my arse editing this extremely boring, dry feckin thing. No feats of accomplishment or swimming at the North Pole for moi...
