Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Yeah they have been great. They absolutely loved Cal though and I'm a sort of beneficiary of that.

I've made a decision to stay where I am for at least the next 12 months. 3 months ago when Cal sadly passed away I didn't expect to be able to be so certain about something, but my relationship with them has been a big part of that decision.

Go with the flow Fred but learn to drive in case you stay , a goal to aim for in the New Year. Stay strong .

Hello folks...alll I can say is "What a Thread" Not posted before, but have followed it since Karl's first post in Sept. At the start of the year I was trying to cope with my younger brothers illness (oseophagal cancer) from which he died in early April. There was only 15 months between us in age. I was the eldest of 4 children and I could not quite get my head around being the only one left. Coupled with my own deteriorating health problems (lung fibrosis), I was not in the best of places. BUT...with the help of my other half Jeanie and my sons I slowly started to recover. And then I saw Karl's first post. Oh My! The responses to him from eveyone was inspiring and helped me realise that there is more love than hate in our world. Especially support for @roydo and @Banfred55 after their sad losses. As Leonard Cohen said........."There is a crack in everything where the light gets in" That light is Karl/Messy reminding all of us that there is no end to a life.....His spirit wiil live on in here............?

@Blues Harp . So you know we are here for you if you need it too,good luck and stay strong ,lovely post by the way.
 
Good morning Mascoteers on this ...I can't see it is so dark ...day .It seems a great Christmas was had by at least many but certainly all the posters ,which is fantastic and on behalf of the Vitlers association I would like to thank you all for the massive amount of booze you consumed ,without mentioning each individually as you all know who you are .
I had a glass or two to celebrate the one and only Karl ,he would be so proud reading these posts .It has been a Christmas to remember for that alone .
We have a special group on here and it is growing by the day ,people who might never meet normally but each is comforting the others and for all Evertonians are proud about ,we should be of this thread .Good health to all .
 

Good morning everyone,

Guess there might be some sore heads out there.

@Barnfred 55 who did you move onto after Genesis and Numan ? Depeche Mode , OMD or Yazoo?

You didn't tell us where your musical journey started last night so I'll guess at Rick Wakeman and Yes.

@fandjango , you looked to be having a great time there mate - hope the posh pigs in blankets worked out.

@anjelikaferrett , sorry hon but will you never learn? England at cricket are even more of a dissappointment than Everton,

@Blues Harp , your post was really moving mate , please keep posting on here.

@Terrarian , didn't hear much from you yesterday mate - hope you are ok.

@Twinkletoes123 , in common with a lot of other posters I was worried about you and your daughter yesterday. I'm sure that you would find posting on this thread a supportive experience.


So Boxing Day , no Everton defeat to mess up the day - although in truth the days of my weekend being ruined by an Everton defeat are way behind me - so me and Mrs J will go for a nice long walk with one of the dogs whilst my mum looks after the little fella with the bad leg.

Then I will watch some football on telly before Mrs J cooks us a chinese curry. I never like wine with curry - Indian or Chinese - so a couple of Peroni's should do the trick. Then off the juice until New Years Eve.

Have a good day guys and take care.

Raining here in the Boro, really miserable day.The house looks like a tip, after daughter, son-in-law, 2 grandkids and my two brothers came round yesterday. Such a contrast to last year when we were in tier 4. Hope everyone has a good day today. No Everton to spoil the fun so that’s a startlol

Yes I've just started a clean / tidy up too Gwladys.

Got 2 new pairs of shoes so 2 in , 2 to the Charity shop !

The amount of cardboard to recycle is just ridiculous!

Have a lovely day.
 

Good morning all. Hope you are all well. I feel surprisingly OK given the amount of booze consumed. We had a lovely day yesterday. I honestly feel blessed that our adult children actually seem to enjoy spending time with us. I gave up on the cricket at about 2am. England are awful. My son has a theory that England never score more than Root + 150. I'm starting to think he's right.
Fred, have you ever watched Gary Numan Android in la la Land. Its a 2015 documentary about how he made the decision to move his family from UK to LA. Well worth a watch. He comes across as such a down to earth nice guy.
It's pouring here. Today is a day of turkey and ham sandwiches....and probably more booze.

Hi, I stayed offline yesterday, played on the computer to take my mind off things, thanks though.

Hope everyone had a great day.

@Terrarian , please give that gorgeous beagle an extra long walk if you are up to it today mate and give her a kiss from me.

Hope you can enjoy the day today .

What's on the playlist ...Slipknot, Paramore or Green Day perhaps ( all my nephews favourite bands from a few years ago).

I feel ignorant now not answering lol, didn't think anyone would be on.

We chilled out yesterday, it was wet and cold but we've just been around the park, still freezing though.

I am slipknotting at the minute, not listened to them for a while so it's good catching up, very talented group who will bypass a lot of people because of the screamo element of Corey's singing but I he's got such a good voice, I enjoy it. Love some Greenday as well, another I don't listen too enough.

I am not usually into metal but Corey Taylor is a great vocalist and switches between voices really well, I think.
