Evening all. As you were.

OP posts:
ike1 · 21/02/2013 21:39

Oh why not 48? Are you the type that likes a clean finish?

ike1 · 21/02/2013 21:44

Oh yes Kin Torso was built like brick shithouse but constantly at the docs with shouder twinges, stomach complaints etc....In fairness he was made redundant very soon after we met, I think he had too much time to think ...and I dont think the skunk nightcap helped.

So he must have lost a fair bit of money on that then Kin?

48howdidthathappen · 21/02/2013 21:45

Yes ike More so at the moment. Feel like I could be talked round.

ike1 · 21/02/2013 21:48

Ignoring someone you care about it deeply unsatisfying though.

ike1 · 21/02/2013 21:49

That wasnt to you btw 48. Oh it does sound like you dont really want it to be over 48.

KinNora · 21/02/2013 21:50

48, nothing useful I can say but have a hug and a Wine

Ike, I don't know if he lost money or if he took someone else, I'm in touch with his mum (who I love to bits) but I couldn't bear to ask her what he did in case she told me something I didn't want to hear.

48howdidthathappen · 21/02/2013 21:50

Maybe. But it is the way I know works for me.

Scrazy · 21/02/2013 21:51

Does anyone have experience of men who smoke dope? Do you think it can attribute to their problems with relationships and emotional commitment?

KinNora · 21/02/2013 21:51

Oh Ike, he's supposedly loved me since he was 18, the twat.

48howdidthathappen · 21/02/2013 21:53

ike He did bring some good stuff into my life. It was fun. Life isn't much fun just now. He tried but just couldn't get it.

ike1 · 21/02/2013 21:59

Gosh Kin, you have known each other some time.

Scrazy I have several friends who work within the field of drug and alcohol addiction and they are in no doubt that for some people it can cause mental health problems. I know someone who works within mental health and has found that it is one of the major causes of psychosis in adolescent males. However it depends on how casual the usage, personality type etc regarding adults and how it affects relationships.

Put it this way I would not have Torso live with myself and the kids knowing he was a regular dope smoker...but then we often were not talking anyway.

mercury7 · 21/02/2013 21:59

I'd say it depends on alot of other things Scrazy..is he getting stoned as a way of escaping so that he's not really 'with' you when he's with you?

ike1 · 21/02/2013 22:00

Can I ask 48 what it was he didnt get?

mercury7 · 21/02/2013 22:02

there may correlation between cannabis use and mental health problems, but thats not the same thing as a direct causal link.

Really anything could be used as a way of avoiding emotional involvement, even if it's spend all his time in the shed building train sets:o

ike1 · 21/02/2013 22:03

Torso loved me too, Kin, apparently, but he loved himself far more (while hating himself too) oh and he was under his mothers thumb...sigh...

ike1 · 21/02/2013 22:04

That's true Merc I am talking about what professionals in the field are finding, with regard to research I cannot say..

KinNora · 21/02/2013 22:06

Ike, why does it have to be such bloody hard work ? I will never understand them.

Scrazy · 21/02/2013 22:08

There is so much conflicting views of regular weed use that it's hard to know how it does affect a person.

ike1 · 21/02/2013 22:08

Kin am tempted to say 'its all about the cock'....but i know that Bant and Voice will bare down on me the 2 horsemen of the apocolaypse....

Snapespeare · 21/02/2013 22:09

msc well dealt. Tosser. Literally

48 well, I'm sorry to hear that. Obv you know what works, I just think you have so much going on that it's all a bit much, so if you don't have to deal with mr R&R it gives you some breathing space. Hug though. Not an easy decision. :) onwards!

I just asked nameless 'out' (which means 'in'.... & hopefully in out in out in out Hmm over 'the weekend' via the sexually charged atmosphere of words with friends'

I also just played the word 'whore' (10 points)

ike1 · 21/02/2013 22:10

Yeah Scrazy...personally I would rather not be involved with anyone who smokes alot of skunk.

KinNora · 21/02/2013 22:11

Dunno, Ike, I do know that Spud's managed to make both of us miserable. Again.

ike1 · 21/02/2013 22:12

bare down on me like the 2 horsemen of the apocalypse. I have really fucked up my d....is it easy to fix a keyboard?

KinNora · 21/02/2013 22:15

God knows, Ike, I'm too busy posting on a thread about the giant copper penis that Ken Barlow used to have on his kitchen wall.

KinNora · 21/02/2013 22:15
