The Weekly Friday Feast

[NikNik]

Such great suggestions @Jacques - more and more I'm thinking we should have asked this weeks ago, with more time to prepare.

[Jacques]

lol, i thought we could all use a laugh.

nice to hear you laughing @Mazarita, when is your partner comming home?

[Appleblossom]

Hi @NikNik

I am back ..

I was a bit disappointed that my choir president didnt take the Out from the shadows .. idea seriously .. and she works in the field .. and knows I was a ward of the state ..she is gorgeous and has been very friendly ..

but she also keeps trying to get me to laugh with her at a rather odd young man in the choir .. (3-4 times) I am polite but detached but I am getting upset as I feel coerced to pick on the odd man out ... which I have never done and dislike intensely.

I also tried to talk about a personality clash that I am having in the choir .. she listened .. but the particular person has been charming her as president .. but not me

I went last night and intend to stick it out til end of year but have asked conductor if I can skip a few rehearsals if necessary.

any ideas ...

[Mazarita]

Thanks @Jacques. I like the sound of your laughter too. 🙂 Partner is due back around 11pm EST. Can't wait. Got some port wine here for him and a snack if he's hungry.

[Jacques]

i wonder if their is a way we could start some sort of word game, something to give people comming here some down time to enjoy.  i don't know what though.

[Jacques]

Oh my @Mazarita, you must be very excited, i hope the time goes quickly for you.

yes i nice drink and a chat will do you both good.

[Mazarita]

@Appleblossom Welcome back 🙂 I don't really have any ideas about how the social dynamics of the choir could be better for you but admire that you are resisting the misdirected laughter. Does that guy have any friends in the choir?

Awww man... I want kitties and ice cream... and maybe a few more blankets so I don't freeze...

Except I'm off to bed. Gotta be up at 5.30am tomorrow morning. 😭😭 heading to another show.
Only taking three animals (cow and calf and a heifer). They're the animals my friend's chose.

I've known I gotta pick a heifer for a year now, but I keep putting it off, and now I sorta need to choose her soonish as we need to plan for next years show team, and any we plan on selling etc...
I have to see my GP soon, I may try to talk to him about it... he owns and breeds horses, so he would have a different understanding of the whole thing to my psychologist, who I saw on Wednesday...

The men "tolerate" him .. with a bit of grumping because he does stick out a bit and attention seeks etc .. but he seems so obviously ill at ease ... one of the men is a psychiatrist .. and we are all trying to socialise him .. he was homeschooled in 3 different countries by a brilliant academic father and is pedantic but is still very isolated and doing a MA ... I made friends with him early as coincidentally we know a mutual "friend" .. the home-school world is small ... his only other friend .. whom he grills me about ... but he is just trying to work out life ... same age as my girls ...

[Appleblossom]

Great idea to talk about it @Crazy_Bug_Lady give you some ideas and might difuse some of the intensity of making the commitment.

cheers ... cant do that early morning thing ... you go girl.
