My daughter
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Me because I managed to throw away a hell of a lot of crap after the fire and have bought only essentials since then (for the overwhelming part.)
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.

My mother because she coped with:
a seriously traumatic childhood (including death of both parents, and being exploited as cheap labour  and chased with a knife  by her nutso foster mother)
keeping a roof over our heads and food in our mouths whilst our Dad gambled away his income
looking after all her aging aunts and cousins by turns, for no financial recompense whatsoever
continually seeing the good in everybody

Probably the only bad thing she did in her life was traumatise me by employing  me as the family scapegoat , telling zillions of "white lies", and systematically destroying my self-esteem.   Ok that's a biggie  :LOL: but I consider the debt (as it were) well and truly cancelled.

  I admire my (late) father and one of my work friends for a trait I couldn't imagine possessing:
  real humility, to the point of never seeking attention for anything they've accomplished.  I don't think
  I've ever heard either of them brag about anything they've done.  I cannot be that way, I've always
  been an attention-seeker.  It's the basis of most of my humor, so that's OK, but still.


  ^ See what I just did?  I made it all about me!  :laugh:  I don't know how humble people do it.
