Just because I don't post, doesn't mean I'm not grumpy.

I've been that grumpy that nobody else should be brought down to that level.

With the exception of Mort's telecommunication issues, I find this thread to be, for the major part, quite uplifting. No woes here; my head's been fizzing all day and it was spent, in some sense, rather unproductively. But form is fine. I'm not feeling guilty about not posting about the stuff I've been reading/listening to/buying (I made a rather hefty purchase of R3oK-inspired purchases recently, so I'm feeling *quite* appreciative of everyone here at the moment  )/&c. here recently because, well, it'll all come spilling forth in its own good time, be it a month or several years. We's in no rush, neh? |

I'm not so much grumpy as gloomy. Oh, grumpy as well, I suppose. Lethargic, pessimistic, not fit company for anyone, even on a message board.

Try and cheer up Mary. I know it's easier said than done especially when the weather is like this and misery everywhere on every tv and radio bulletin. Try and remember Spring is on the way and there is a lot to be thankful for as well, although I'm not in the best of spirits myself to be giving advice to people.
Have you bought a hat for the wedding yet?

The news certainly doesn't help - we've had this conversation before, about needing to know what's going on, but then being depressed by knowing. I watched the television news yesterday. Murders, floods....
I was looking at hats online, and they are all very elaborate and Ascot-y. I want simple elegance. The thought of having to find something to wear for the wedding is actually one of the causes of my low state at the moment. I would have enjoyed it once, but now I find it difficult. I'm not physically capable of walking round shops for hours - and as you get older I think clothes become trickier.
I'd better go before I drag everyone down with me. Usually I feel better as the day progresses.

Pity you don't live nearer Mary. I have loads of hats, all styles. You could have borrowed one. You can hire them you know. That might be worth a look. Don't worry about dragging anyone down. We're all friends here and will try and cheer each other up whenever possible. I'm off now. His appointment is at 10.55 but I'm going to try and get his new game on the way. I've got workmen in the house so at least the dog won't pine while I'm out.  Hopefully all will go well and we'll be back by 11.30. I'll just pamper him then till it's time for him to go back to school. |

Dear r3ok.myforum (you rotter!) NO...no...no!There is not, and never has been any on my PC! And even if there were - mind your own damned business and stop asking and prying into my affairs!I'm fed up with seeing this in my face just because I want to read about One Voice Per Part in Bach's choral music! GO AWAY!

Oh dear. All best wishes for getting the trip to the dentist over and done with, Milly and young 'un.
It's always good to have your company, Mary. I'd noticed you hadn't been posting for a few days and it was cheering to see you back again, even if it was in the grump room. Sorry to hear it's a bit of a low patch at the moment. Hold on in there and it will pass. (But I can't help on hats. That is another and mysterious world which men enter at their peril.)

Baz,
I thought you use Firefox? If so, why aren't you using Adblock?

Mary, I can't help directly with the hat situation, but if you would care to contact Mrs. Partington in Datchet High Street, I feel sure she would come up with something suitable, at a price.  You might need to click on the little pink 'hat' on the bottom edge of the map, below "Hemel Hempstead". |

I share your feelings at the moment Mary. It didn't help my watching the final parts of both The Power of Nightmares (about the rise of the neo-conservatives in America and of the radical Islamist movement) and Jonathan Miller's Brief History of Disbelief off a video. I should have chosen something a lot more lightweight.  |

Thank you, everyone. I do think the weather has quite a bit to do with the unreasonable depression a lot of people feel at the moment. It is DARK here, even though it's almost midday, and pouring down (very heavily) again.
My dear friend with the diabetic son has just rung to say she is coming round this afternoon, IF she can fit it round waiting for the diabetic nurse and all the other things she has to do. Maybe that will teach me not to grumble. It does make worrying about hats seem rather trivial.
