What Made You Smile Today?

[Mungypup]

Some drs are uncaring but i will admit it does seem a bit strange or even different.

 

It's quite common really when people have been badley attacked. I have gotten worse in the last few years though. I think it's because I am not around dogs at all now and it's dogs I haven't got to know I have problems with. My older brother and cousin were teasing the dog that attacked me before it attacked me. I was in a different room and so didn't have any idea and went into the room and to stroke it. It naturally flipped and went beserk, but on me. My parents explained what happend in hope that it would prevent me from thinking dogs are bad or being afraid of them but now when I see a dog walk round a corner I'm I guess on some level thinking that I don't know what happened to it before it came round the corner, or if it's owners or other people tease it treat it well etc. I LOVE dogs. If they are on the other side of the street i'll stand cooing. It's just if it's off a lead or close enough to me for possible contact I freak out. I can't help it. There is loads they can do for phobias apparently so lets hope they can re-train my brain, or at least stop me from getting any worse.

 

I admit that the climbing tree thing is a bit unusal and extreme . My sister goes mad when I run and try to hide in the bushes

 

Hope your ear is better and the rooms have started moving back lol

[sillygirl1]

Hi GM, hopefully your ear thing will get better, try some olive oil in a dropper, usually works even when I have sinus ear...

 

Just got back from pub, had good afternoon with friend and collected a banner to be repaired, now going back out and into another pub.... got a busy weekend ahead too so really getting in a chilled out mood.

 

Can't believe how much junk I seem to have hoarded in old garage, 9 binliners of junk, 3 binliners going tomorrow to local school and 3 boxes of vinyl records belonging to nephew! Not to mention trip to Manchester and visiting American next week!

TBH l have never heard of your dog issue.

 

the rooms have started to get back to some type of normality tho still have not gotten fully there. A certain Mr Thiland has movated me into doing the kitchen this evening.

I normally check it every day but I have been working away a lot lately. I realised the DD had not come out and thought I would give it a couple of days to see if it went late but then I went away for a few weeks and forgot. I get paid monthly and leave enough money in the account to cover all the monthly bills.

 

Never mind cos I've bought a new coat and shoes with the money instead.

You've never heard of or come across anyone who's afriad of dogs?? I find that quite surprising I have to say, especially if you have children. It's a very common fear, I've known lots of people throughout my life who have been afraid of dogs to varying degrees. I don't know how many have needed to seek help though, I guess it all depends on things like the severity of the attack, how old you were and how traumatised you were. I guess I assumed that everyone would have come accross or heard of someone at some point in their life who is afraid of dogs.

2nd Mum is leaving hospital today after 3 months. She is excited but scared at the same time. She is moving into a new flat so that will be strange for her, and after having so many set backs the thought of not having medical staff around is worrying her. She's been through so much and it's going to be another big adjustment for her. It's going to be a long time until she's better but the fact that they are letting her leave is a big step forward. We are all happy but at the same time a bit apprehensive after all the drama. But it is a good day and it did make me smile. She's got about 3 hours left.

hehe, snap:D

 

Mark of a dirty mind that is, seeing stuff that's not there. I had an email a few days ago offering me 'enlargement penis' at a reduced price. It was only after I noticed it was from Photobox that I re-read it and found it was in fact 'enlargement prints'.

This'll make you laugh.

 

Got a threatogram last week from someone threatening a doorstep visit.

 

At 7.00 p.m. there is suddenly a hammering on the front door, the doorbell is rung incessantly, and the doorknocker is banged very loudly too. I go to the door and shout through, "Who is it?" No answer. "Well, if you don't answer, I'm calling the police right now." Which I did. The phone is by the front door, the police ask if he is still there and again I shout the warning through the door. No reply.

 

Police turn up. I tell them I have no idea what is going on. Must be a nutter. They go out, grab my poor neighbour as a suspect, let him go when I vouch for him, and go out to look round the block.

 

20 minutes later they come back to say that other neighbours further up the street have had the same thing, they have apprehended the suspects

and, wait for it

 

 

they are two deaf guys trying to sell cleaning products, and as they are deaf they don't understand the racket they are making, and they wouldn't have heard me threatening them with the police. I suggested they should have i/d to post through the letterbox.

 

Anyway, it wasn't a doorstepper.

I caught some of a Radio 4 (yes someone has to listen to it) broadcast. About millions being killed by TV's and that was me away with the fairies. Thinking of them falling, electrocution, fires or just boredom.

 

What they ACTUALLY said was TB. Drrrrrr..

My major smile is getting one over on a traffic warden!

 

I parked on health clinics car park that was pay and display. It's free for the first 1 and 1/2 hours but you still need to get a ticket. 2 machines were out of order and I was told that one wasn't needed.

 

Wrong! I stayed with my car and a warden appeared. So I went to a 3rd machine and got a valid ticket. He went over to a car opposite me and gave them a parking fine for not having one. An elderly man had parked next to me and didn't have a ticket either. I went and got another ticket and stuck it on the outside of the window of the car while the warden was getting his pad out ready to write a fine. The rules say you can't transfer a ticket, can't return within 2 hours, and must clearly display one. It says nothing about it being your car or the ticket has to be on the inside of the car.

 

Result. One happy gentleman thanking me and not facing a fine (he was only in there a few minutes) but some evil looks from said traffic warden. I could do that all day just to p them off!

My thoughts are with you and your 2nd Mum Mungy. It's not easy being a carer or being cared for. Each day at time and that's all we can do

 

What better gift than your time, effort and sincere love?

Yes i have never heard of ppl afraid of dogs. I know small children who dont like dogs bigger than them near them but my 2 children are ok with our dog and was ok with our other dog b4 he got put down.

 

My daughter is now 20 months and my son is 6. We had a 9 year old german shepard and have a 3 year old jack russell. We thought the shep was older and so did the vet due to his problems.
