Thankyou for your advice Tim

I can't afford a second computer
I love my kids, wouldn't dream of selling them

The only space i have for the computer is my son's room(this is half the problem)
The children are too old to be bribed with sweets/candy

So does that mean i have to emigrate???

hi once again aunty sin ,please give me some of your good advice ,i want to stop biting my nails .It is so embarrasing to show my hands in public.
please help once again .
best wishes carolxxx

Chris · 15 Jul 2003, 22:29

Mrs M,

Just a suggestion but didn't there used to be a nail varnish product that was flavoured with strong mustard if you chewed it!!

Failing that there is one called something like diamond nails which puts a hard coating on to stop you being able to bite them!!

CarolM · 15 Jul 2003, 22:36

thanx Chris, tried the mustard kept eating it off

, also tried stop n grow to no avail,

now i will try diamond nails thanx buddy.

Evan · 15 Jul 2003, 22:42

Dear Sin,
I've got this problem, I'm obsessed with the compositions of James Richard Steinman, he's my idol. I think that he's the best song writer of all time. I just LOVE his songs. I really would like to meet him cause I'm always thinking about his songs, they play in my head constantly. Sometimes late at night I conjure up Jimmy's image and ask him questions. I also had my mother make me my very own Jim Steinman doll out of chewed up bubble gum and elbow macaroni.
Is this normal?

original sin · 16 Jul 2003, 00:10

Dear Bren

I think Uncle Tim has provided sound advice. I hope it helps you out. Failing that you can always rely on bribery or blackmail. Find a really naff baby picture of them preferably nekid and the potty and threaten to put it in the local paper with their names!!

original sin · 16 Jul 2003, 00:12

Mrs Mouse

Try Chris’ suggestion and if that doesn’t help I would suggest either:-
·getting some acrylic nails done professio

nally these will stay on for a few weeks letting your nails grow
·or gluing some gloves on your hands so you can’t bite them

original sin · 16 Jul 2003, 00:12

Dear Chris

I am seriously worried! How come you know so much about women’s nail care????
Do we need to talk??

original sin · 16 Jul 2003, 00:13

Dear Evan

I don’t think this is a question of normality. It is a question of perception. First stage to breaking any habit is acknowledging it, and you just took that step. What you have to decide is if you are happy with your life?
If you are then be proud and tell the world…….find a public area and declare your obsession.

If not ……..find a public area and sing a George Michael song out loud! Then you may just realise you weren’t too far wrong in the first place.

Some points concern me though.
Conjuring up images, is fine providing they don’t give you instructions

Is the doll life size and is rubber or latex involved?

You would be amazed at the catalogues that land on the doorstep of the modern convienience retailer!!

You be careful! Read too many of those magazines and you'll either end up in plaster, hospital or a police cell

heat · 16 Jul 2003, 00:55

Aunty Sin,

I'm having a stress fest at the mo. I have a lot of family issues at present and all i want to do is run away and hide in a big hole with my Meat Loaf CD's and block out everything. Unfortuantely i know that that course of action is just not practical, so i was wondering if you knew of any good relaxation techniques, failing that, where i can get some cheap vallium???

Yours desparingly,
Heat

Dear Heat

Who needs valium when there's Tequilla about?

Running away often seems like the easiest and best option, but is rarely ever pratical.
Loud music, long drinks maybe a fast drive(before the drink of course

) , a good brisk walk, a good book all can just help you relax.
Nice long soak with candles and music - thats a good one.

Personally I find throwing things a great stress buster

Make your own stress ball - get two balloons and snip the necks off. fill one with flour until its filled out but still plyable. then roll the other balloon over from the open end to seal it and help presto you have good stress ball that you can twist and grip and thump and release some of that tension

Tim · 16 Jul 2003, 01:48

A quick note: Don't be stressed....

Things come and go in your life... i see it in my own life. Don't be nervous about things that will come... the come allways... so it is a lost of energy to be nervous.

And remember, the choices that you make in life, are not wrong choices. At the moment that you make a choice, you are behind the choice with the full 100%. So actually, theoraticly seen, there are no bad choices that you can make.

So... the Butcher has spoken.

JJ · 16 Jul 2003, 04:44

ok...now I'm finding this very hard to admit in front of you.

*swallowing hard* but please aunty sin, what is a postwhore???? There....I said it!!

A very nice and very profound thing to say Tim.
My father has a saying he always says to me if i am stressed or worrying;
"Worry never robs tommorrow of it's sorrow , it only saps today of it's strength. "

Sorry you are having such a stressful time Heat, remember we are all here to help you through it.
I always find, playing " Life's a lemon " full volume great for relieving stress.

Dear JJ

Please don't worry about asking anyone about anything (within reason) on these forums. I hope you have seen in your time here that it is really a community sharing views and thoughts with the common bond of Meat Loaf.

Now a postwhore could have a different meanings dependant on which side of the fence you are on

It is generally accepted that a postwhore is a forum member who makes posts for the sake of posting to increase their post count and subsequently their rank.

From time to time this becomes a bone of contention, when it spreads across the boards to all topics and the posts just consist of a single word or single smilie, or indeed going off of the topic title.
If I am correct the "Off Topic" area was created to give members an area to share the trials and tribulations of daily life, therefore freeing up the other forums from chatty topics.
However even in the relevent threads that enable you to postwhore it has been mutually agreed that: there will be no posts of just single words. No sentences carried out over a series of posts.
In the appropriate places it is a source of fun, catching up with friends and communication, however at the other extreme if abused it can become a real pain, as you have to wade through lots of nonsense to get to the message of the issue of a topic.

JJ · 16 Jul 2003, 21:39

Thanks for explaining that to me! I will endeavour to be a good little forum member *fingers in air - dib dib dib, dob dob dob*

dottie · 17 Jul 2003, 00:06

Oh, Sin, Sin what shall we do, the water is off, and has been for a few hours now, all over north london, south london and somewhere in between
Major power failure, water pumps will not work without electricity.
I've bought the local shop out of bottled water, but how am I going to have a shower before retiring to my bed? Um me-thinks I could stay at home tomorrow - no shower - no work - simple.

original sin · 17 Jul 2003, 00:28

Dottie

Oh dear! What a predicament!! You have taken the best action to date buying up all the bottled water.

I think that you have a very valid excuse for not working tomorrow. However you could wait and see if it's back on in the morning and have an early morning freshen up

If not stay at home!

Hope you have plenty of Tequilla in because you can always drink this when the water runs out!!

Does this also mean you have no electric then? awww how romantic you can have a candle lit supper

no silly me you've got the 'puter on

Check the rebates on electric and water...they pay out per a schedule if you are cut off over a certain time.

Having said all that I hope it sorts out soon ............

dottie · 17 Jul 2003, 11:03

Sin, Your advice concerning the Tequila was spot on, I didn't give a t..s whether I ever showered again

its back on now - thank goodness - thats 2 during the past 10 days, and 2 power cuts Saturday - lovely

original sin · 18 Jul 2003, 20:13

Aunty Sin is about to embark on her annual holiday so she's gonna have to leave you all in the safe hands of Uncle Tim for two weeks

i hink you are all now well versed in the benefits of group therapy

and hope you all stay happy and well while I'm away

Bren · 18 Jul 2003, 21:28

Thankyou Aunty Sin
have a good holiday, have fun

I'm sure Uncle Tim will take good care of us,

won't you uncle Tim ?
