I am thinking it might be time to get off the sofa....

SweetSeraphim · 12/02/2013 22:20

48 I meant to say something to you earlier. You're someone here that is very much on my wavelength, I relate to a lot of your posts. You've had a shit day matey Thanks

ike1 · 12/02/2013 22:24

I have had a trawl on POF nowt there.....and the days of being apparently voted one of the most 'popular' women on OKC are long gone....Guardian S ....nowt. What to do???

Snapespeare · 12/02/2013 22:26

He is currently in the palm of my pocket. Blush

No, don't know if he has fibro. Very rudimentary internet research Hmm might suggest a higher instance of fibro alongside ME/CFS, we haven't discussed it. Yet.

Friday [INT. EVENING]

Me: hey. How you doin? Do you have fibro?
Nameless. Hey. No.
Me: excellent news, didn't want to break you. By the way, I have genital herpes.

lubeybooby · 12/02/2013 22:29

Snape I am helpless laughing at that post. Just imagining that exact script and music. Oh god

I thought it was 'boom chicka wah wah' these days Snape?

SweetSeraphim · 12/02/2013 22:31

Hahahaa!!! Grin

Snapespeare · 12/02/2013 22:32

Oh bant... Your knowledge of modern day pornography is obviously far better than mine.

Snapespeare · 12/02/2013 22:37

Anyway... I suggested we have the sex talk, which isn't romantic, or passionate or owt, but I pocket-palmed him by saying, 'I would never want to be less than honest, or mean or self serving' so thunderbirds are go.

Apparently I now 'rock'. I think that's what the young folk say when they want to fist you. Wink Grin

I better be getting some on Friday. I might even buy prophylactics. Blush something I never do as I tend to regard it as a personal preference...

ike1 · 12/02/2013 22:38

I reckon he would have mentioned it though Snape because fibro can be very severe in some cases...I have worked with people who are virtually bed ridden with it.

ike1 · 12/02/2013 22:43

So Snape let me get this right, you said....'I want to talk to you about sex on Friday' and he said 'you rock'. Or have you had the 'chat'

Snapespeare · 12/02/2013 22:48

I said,' let's talk about sex (bay-bee) on Friday'

He said I rock.

The chat is yet to come

Nah, don't think fibro. I have a friend with ME/CFS who has fibro... Don't think it's likely, but if there's a possibility, I would like to know how to work with it,.,

VoiceofUnreason · 12/02/2013 22:58

ike - so the OD scene in South Wales about as shite as in Gloucestershire then? I've always felt it depends hugely where you live as to how successful OD is. They say dating is a numbers game. If so, then OD is the post code lottery. I also have a friend who has Reynauds but but she's never had black fingers or toes.

ike1 · 12/02/2013 22:59

Fair dos. It's good to rock! I reckon it'll be alright you know.

ike1 · 12/02/2013 23:05

Yeah South Wales...I know most of the vaguely eligible guys around my age who I would be interested in. That sounds odd as it encapsulates a capital city but it is really a large village.

I had one or two breaks when I was seeing TR and could have gone on dates with several of his acquaintances through dating sites but did not because I felt it would not have been fair to him. Yes my friend was quite shaken up ...is going to docs tomoz.

Alittlestranger · 12/02/2013 23:05

Love this Voice: "They say dating is a numbers game. If so, then OD is the post code lottery" I may nick it for the dreaded sub heading.

PinkPeanuts · 12/02/2013 23:05

Hi Everyone!

I'm always amazed at how fast this thread moves!

Bant · 12/02/2013 23:07

Snape - my knowledge of the boom chicka wah wah I think came from a Lynx advert?

But I am up-to-speed with things enough to know that young people might fist-bump you. Fisting you is a very different thing indeed.

ike1 · 12/02/2013 23:07

As it was when TR introduced me to his friends I knew several already...one had taken the photos for my wedding beause he was very close to my exH and I at the time but for various reasons we had lost touch.

VoiceofUnreason · 12/02/2013 23:12

Stranger feel free to nick it without need for payment of copyright. I don't know where that popped out from. I'm not usually so erudite and witty this time of the day.

ike - my friend with Reynauds doesn't seem to 'suffer' much beyond occasionally cold extremeties. Hopefully your chum will be fine also.

Bant - Lynx advert. Yeah, sure it does.

Having dipped my toe back into POF the other day, I took a glance at OKC earlier this evening. Nope, nowt doing there either. All the decent catches are hiding, it seems (hiding away from Thursday perhaps).

ike1 · 12/02/2013 23:15

Hmmm Thursday...

MirandaWest · 12/02/2013 23:15

I think I have Raynauds. Have crap circulation especially in fingers though. They mostly go white although sometimes slightly blue. I do lots of glove wearing :)

Bant · 12/02/2013 23:17

I've got my DC on thursday. I will make beans on toast for tea for all of us, in the shape of a heart, then put them to bed and not do OD.

Also, I sign the divorce papers in the afternoon. How romantic.

ike1 · 12/02/2013 23:17

I fear it might be linked to something else maybe thyroidism...no use speculating...doc will do the tests..

VoiceofUnreason · 12/02/2013 23:17

Miranda - I've always been fine with cold and hopeless in heat. But this winter my feet have been like blocks of ice all the time, often wearing two pairs of socks and still freezing. Think my thermostat needs checking out.
