The dropping of the second 'l' and the merging of the two words 'all' and 'right' is a natural progression and evolution of language.

It is a word if it is used by enough people as a word. Personally I have no problem with it. Alright?
I just check oxfered it is ok with them

We are what we do say ,think , feel and do.
I don't know how much I care what other people think of me . Strangers I give no value to what they think of me, my friends more , my employers the most ,

but my others, ... relationships are weird, .

in my friend world if they don't like how I am day to day they can go fuck themselves if they don't like how I don't need to be around them.

But in a relationship one should be a friend but on that is the main focus of one's life. But how much should you change for a person, how much can you change as a person at all. I know about brain elasticity and how personality is seeped through the brain but truly how much can you change or even should. Show you change your morals your, goals for life, you dress, your diet?

Who is truly to say who you are. Is there a real self or is there just what you tell people or perhaps just a copulation of what you say and do.

do you live in what is thought about you or are you immoral in you soul?

I think the soul is real I know most don't these days but it is said that would happen.

I know by inuistion that the soul is real and we will reap what we have sown with our lives each and every time we live.

Each life is uice no two are ever the same nor can be the same, phicses dictates they can not.

slowly I am dieing each day.

you only know what I post. All the rest of me is for lost

Put up two palm tree muriels on the fence outside.
I tried and tried to resist any decorations for this Friday, but they were so cheap and so tempting.

Have promised myself that if Mum decides they are tacky (they are) and wants them down I will comply. And I won't sulk.
I will take a picture beforehand though.
And allow me some gentle mourning....?

My eBay purchases should start arriving tomorrow.
I. Am. Excited.
I suspect I buy from eBay for the sheer pleasure of getting things through the post. The fact that it really is the cheapest option (especially without a car - postage is usually cheaper than busfare) is just a happy coincidence

I remember when I was thought slightly old-fashioned and quirky for buying mail-order. But even then people would ask "Where did you get that?" I like the fact internet purchases have enlivened what is still effectively mail order. And people still ask me where I bought things....

You're a complete shopaholic. You need a job working in a props department somewhere.

As I opened this thread I was thinkg, "Don't tell me off Monnie!"
Phew. Ducked that bullet.

Everything has arrived except the habenero popcorn and the strawberry daiquiri mix - both of which Mum was sanctioned (and paid for). She hasn't seen the muriels yet as it's been raining...

Hmmmm.... good point. I was bad enough at Asda when I worked there. Imagine me with the ability to theme and decorate everything in my life!

Nah, I meant buying the props for plays/commercials etc, not selling them. bargain-hunting on a theme on someone else's budget? Perfect!

I lack the social skills for that kinda position.
I'd love to meet a party planner with an opening for a theme-crazy artistic decorator.
But I don't have the chutzpah to put myself out there.

Hey - if you know anyone looking for a submissive but creative partner willing to work for minimum wage plus leftovers let me know! Sadly that job pool encompasses Arts, Design and PR graduates...
