Baby.

Nice.

Well that's certainly one of the dumber moments I've witnessed on this site.

Frankly unbearable.

All those comments are the polar opposite of how I expected that joke to be received.

^ Yeah, I've had plenty of dry spells too, though I've always had a job, which forces you into a minimum of social interaction. Something I never did, and now I wonder why not, is join a special interest group; those people who are going to meet up reguarly whether you attend or not, so there isn't much pressure.

I'm just ugly and boring. :(

^ you should know first hand.

Hey, you're not... you'll be fine.

OK well then I guess it's the situation I'm in, of my own choice. I mean, who's going to go out with me when I can't, you know, go out? Still, I'm not bitter. I'm ale. :)
This post is so moving! Thanks, man.
:beer:

I'm confused, is this some kind of Freudian Irish thing?

Yeah, they're both words for beer. Bitter and Ale, two types of beer. Guess it helps if you're not American. Not just for this comment, but in general like. :laughing:

I guess only the Irish could come up with such a joke.

Cue in the "can" laughter.

:laughing:

Elphenor's alternate account. He uses it so express his self loathing.

No, I mean my decision to stay at home and look after my sis. That's my choice, even if, technically, I didn't really have one.

And that karl marx guy? Anyone? I'll wait....

Self-deprecating humour is the saviour of my sanity. :thumb: The first time I had to - well, do something for her which nobody should expect to do until that person reaches a certain infirm age, if ya catch my drift - I was so tense about it. I remember being outside waiting to "clean up" and breathing hard, thinking "**** it man, you can do this! She needs you. There IS nobody else." This was long before we had carers and I had to dress, wash and do everything else for her. Solution? I started making a joke out of it, she started laughing, we turned it into, not an enjoyable process but certainly an endurable one. She didn't feel embarrassed, didn't feel like she was being a burden to me, and consequently neither of us ever feared or dreaded the occasion ever again. Which was just as well, as naturally it became a daily occurrence, and something we just ended up folding into what became our normal life.
I'm bigger than Jesus. :)
Seriously though, thanks. :beer:
