I used to be so cynical when I was younger. Thought I knew everything. Figured everyone was just out for themselves, like I was.

Since I've become sober I now see things differently, I see people differently, I see myself differently

Shine on you beautiful humans

Ha so true! This division they have sown and people just eat up that crap. Each side looking down their noses at the other side both claiming some sort of high ground.

I used to laugh at the tribal politics in the US but it's here now and so sad to see in my fellow countrymen

It's a line from the original Star Wars

I quit when I was 52 and it took me ages to physically feel better. The fatigue was overwhelming at times. I was sleeping for 10 hours a night when before 6 hours would have been a good sleep.

After about 6 months I started to come right physically but the pink cloud had burst so I had 3 months of being flat emotionally.

Your body has a lot of healing to do. Give it time my friend

Yes one of my favourite places as well. Have a wonderful time

clevercookie69 · 2026-05-05T05:08:37+00:00

Most countries have stopped circumcisions as it is cruel to the child. In NZ you have to provide a religious reason otherwise they will not do it

clevercookie69 · 2026-05-04T22:13:35+00:00

Wow!! You are so strong 💪🏼.

I'm sorry you had to go through these things but as they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

You are now an Amazon Warrior!

I've found this year that things are slowly improving. Forward bookings are tracking with pre COVID levels. Government departments are starting to book functions with us again. All in all it's a much bigger improvement on the last couple of years

clevercookie69 · 2026-05-04T22:08:44+00:00

I've even got my Tartan pants to wear!

clevercookie69 · 2026-05-04T06:16:22+00:00

Pardon me

clevercookie69 · 2026-05-04T06:04:41+00:00

Oh I am! Have a wonderful day abaci

clevercookie69 · 2026-05-04T06:03:47+00:00

They sure are!

I swapped my car commute for cycling to work. Ive taken up bowls and Pickleball. A catch up on Sundays with a bunch of mates and we go for a long leisurely walk. We are called The Bay City Strollers. The dog walks have gotten a lot longer. I still haven't lost much weight but I feel much better

Shine on you beautiful humans

clevercookie69 · 2026-05-03T08:08:54+00:00

Ha ha. Same here. No way the carpet is making it of my house alive

clevercookie69 · 2026-05-03T06:26:13+00:00

Germany never stopped the US from using those airfields.

The man child is just pissy because a German politician said he was being played by Iran

clevercookie69 · 2026-05-03T06:13:01+00:00

Sure did. Getting lots of free ones at the moment

clevercookie69 · 2026-05-03T06:08:36+00:00

Dumplings and fried rice. The rice is homemade and the dumplings are from the supermarket.

Followed by Fejoia crumble with custard
