have I missed something? Where is Rusty? i miss his insightful comments
-
Funny, I was thinking about Russ this morning. Wonder how he is? Anyone in his geographcal neighbourhood?
-
I was thinking about him too. Wonder if he's done what he said and gone offline?
-
I've done my mad stalker routine ;D According to the member log he was here on 11th October, so he's still around. Russ wouldn't leave without saying cheerio, I'm sure he said that before ;) but it's not like him not to have much to say ;) ;D ;D ;D
-
If someone says something a bit riskey or politicle he will be back!! Hi Rustyme :wave: Bet you just read this
-
He's waiting for Tuesday till Young George does his comprehensive spending review, then he'll let rip.

Hope you are well, Russ :&>

hello everyone .... I am still around , just been busy lately plus ... I have also gone into 'super' grumpy old man mode of late , so thought I had better keep my trap shut (for once !!) . I think it may have something to do with turning 53 yesterday . I wasn't looking forward to this year , as I lost my Mum when she was 53..... These things play on the mind in the background I think !!
Anyway , not gone offline as yet , although I am a few steps nearer to doing so , and I will definitely say proper bye bye's when I do slide off into the obscurity that is the 'off grid ' life .
Talking Of George Osbourne though ... they are cutting back even more money from the welfare state , stating that it needs to be done because of the problem we are in due to the Labour government . Well as much as I hated that idiot that was here before and the mass murderer before him , I don't think it can all be laid at their doorstep . The whole world is going down the pan ...FAST .
Osbourne is now setting up a hit squad to detect fraud in benefits claimants , I wonder if this hit squad could check out the 650 liars , crooks , thieves and swindlers that inhabit westminster ?
If they really wanted to get us out of debt , all they have to do is get us out of the EU . After we have had every penny in monies for grants and 'benefits' from the EU we still pay over £60 billion a year to be part of the corrupt dictatorship that is the EU . That amount of money is set to go up even more as they are going to bring in an EU tax, (to fund their outrageous wages and bonuses , pensions and absolute theft of OUR money), that we will pay on top of what we do already .
I did say I am a 'super' grumpy old man now !!
Anyway , I am suffering at the moment . I zapped my back sneezing a week ago , and I am getting unbelievable spasms in the lower back all the time now .... crippling me . Still doing the 6 mile round trip to the land everyday , albeit swearing 'loudly' everytime my back zaps me .
I hope everyone is keeping well and although I may not be on here all the time at the moment now , I do still watch to see what is getting on .
Take care everyone
cheers

Sending you some long distance Reiki for your back Russ ;)
Glad you're still here ;D
-
That's ma boy! Keep complaining, Russ - that's what keeps us 'oldies' going! I'm a grumpy old lady - but a lot grumpier and a lot older than you! ;D ;D ;D
-
I knew you where there all the time, I felt your presentce ;) As you get older you begin to realise WHY older people are grumpy, I am getting grumpier by the day :( I have a bad back too but it plays tricks and makes me fall over (absoluty NOTHING to do with WHiskey!!)
-
cheers all,
the back is holding up ok so far ...still twinging now and then , but basically ok . I am not pushing my luck too far with it at the moment though , just feeding the horses etc and doing all the small jobs .
I get that falling over thing , and I don't drink at all !!! :D , I have vertigo ...it is a real pain in the bum . I can be walking/standing whatever, and just exit stage left !!! Always to the left ? it is the same feeling as when you get out of a chair to fast, and go arse over tit.
Last week I head butted a tree , not because I was 'avin a go at it ', but because I 'had a turn' ::) ;D.
Thankfully it isn't all the time , but it is often enough to cause problems. Like earlier in the the year, when the ice was about , I had a mini vertigo turn and slipped on the ice , got my hand down and managed to bend it right back so it laid flat along my forearm :o, I thought it was broken , but had to put it back in the right place as it was going a strange colour . So I grabbed it and put it where it should be :'(, and it all clicked back in place ...job done , carry on feeding the horses. The wrist was ok after a week or so of soreness, but I really jarred the shoulder , and I think I ended up with frozen shoulder. That is just about ok now ...'just' . So what with sneezing and zapping my back , slipping and doing my wrist and shoulder , and popping my knee ligament , it has not been a good year . I hope that this coming year will be a bit easier ...mind you ... the year after (2012) it all ends anyway !!!! The end is nigh !!! don't bother planting any biennials, only annuals from now on !!!
Just working out how many pairs of wellies I will need to buy before it all ends !!! ::) ;D ;D ;D
cheers

hope your back improves soon Rusty. Please don't go off line. We need you!
-
Glad you are OK Russ and hope the back gets back to normal soon. Even through all your pain you still make us laugh, and boy do we need a laugh just now. I am rarely on here these days too due to circumstances I just don't have the time. Anyway, you take care and keep us up to date. I dare say after this afternoons government cuts you will be an even grumpier old man! :)

Russ you are a tough cookie!!!! You are certainly no couch potato, if you were you would probably have one of those mobility scooters to take you to the shop. I know if I didn't walk and keep active I would be worse and fatter!!!!
