Still Blue, Still Stocking: The Bluestocking remains open in 2021

[ErrolTheDragon]

I've nicked a title, opened the door, dusted off the bar.

Come in and drown your sorrows, celebrate or just hang out in good company.

Sneaks in a bit early for a sit down and the company of such good women. Struggling to contain my rage today having dipped into some awful threads on here and elsewhere.
Proffers home made lemon drizzle cake.

Term ended the other day and I was given an extraordinary quantity of booze.

So I have restocked the bar.

I was delighted to see that someone has sent Ed Davey a copy of Helen Joyce's book: I checked because I thought I'd send him one if no one else had. I hope the bugger reads it: the LibDems have been 100% captured. I shall have the chance in a few days to ear-bash our local LibDem activist, and I will be lending her my copy of Helen Joyce if I've finished it by then.

I shall be curled up in a corner reading and imbibing.

Had a supposed support thread, elsewhere. Not so supportive as I hoped, sadly. ASC seems to be so misunderstood.

And fucking noisy.

4autistic people in one flat, one of whom does not live here and no WiFi meltdown count in double figures

Fuck off with your disabalist comments. @BlackeyedSusan

eh? just trying to be sympathetic with the experiences of our autism...

so it may not have come across well, what with both ends of the message having a communication disability but I am suffering after having several autistic meltdowns today. while ds
has had several meltdowns and dd has had a couple...

I have been nothing but try to be kind to you over the past couple of days....

and ffucking autism is kicking in again with another fuicking meltdown...

@SpringCrocus

Ok. @BlackeyedSusan. Truce. I'm not sure what you meant, I don't want an argument.
Lets agree to not agree and not get upset over it?

I was saying our autism was really shit and we are all struggling and consequently all bloody noisy and we have all had a meltdwon ro several today

Ok, @BlackeyedSusan, lets huddle under the cashmere blanket, together?

And sorry..

that's ok. huddles under cashmere blanket.

it has been a hell of a day.

And sorry,, if I got it wrong.

Can anyone imagine a Man , in the above ex change

thanks for the firm hugs. the door slammer has fallen asleep. the flapper is asleep the one who does not live here has gone home. and i am finally calming down as it is now quiet...

there would have been blood and gore everywhere...

adds weighted blankets and sensory toys to pub. I'll have to order new ones as mine disappeared into children's bedrooms.

And ear defenders given the noise last night! (DC and I plugged back into WiFi which makes it a lot quieter!)

Term ended the other day and I was given an extraordinary quantity of booze.

Goodness, the quality of these gifts seems to have improved from when so many of my family were teachers.

Very generous of you. Anything suited for Bloody or Virgin Marys?

There'll be an on-going brunch buffet set-up soon. It's too hot for me to consider anything like roast dinners, sorry.

I can put up French toast and similar but the kitchen's already >30C so I shall be in and out.

Grief, I can't tell if it's the heat that's making me see zombie resurrections out there.

I'm pleased that the Bluestocking is here as a refuge.

@highame thank you for the loan of the beautiful blanket, very comforting.
@BlackeyedSusan, again many apologies for my getting it wrong last night and sorry you, too, had a horrible day. Hope today is better.

I've just given Camilla a much needed brush, anyone want a carrier bag of camel hair?

Mmm! The zombie revival is one to avoid really. Best keep safe in here so legacy threads don’t get deleted…. Whatever the intention.

It's ok spring. Sorry if it came across as having a go. I can't think well with slamming doors and stomping feet, and whilst well into my own meltdown. It was bloody noisy.

Life can be shit sometimes, hoping things improve for you. Thanks for sharing the blanket.

Thanks for the warning about zombies. I shall check carefully. But maybe after the buffet.

Incidentally the number of fuckings/fucks generally indicates how bad the meltdown is.
