Used to be on a Saturday morning.......well it was like every other morning......better have my wake up bag.........if I did then I proceeded to con someone or steal something.......cause I needed more dope.....and on Saturday it was harder cause people were home.....and all the neighbors were out.....and I was in a hurry.........so don't be chatting me up........and the buses and all ran slower.......made for a hassle.
Now I'm cleaning my windows.........even got the ammonia and vinegar.....if I was using I might have needed them two bucks.........and I'm hearing the cartoons......and my neighbors wave and stop.......and I can ask how they are.
If someone needs me for something they can find me......I don't have to lie.....I'm not out missing for three hours when all I was supposed to be doing is running up to the store......so yeah it's nice......it's good being clean....even the little things are better.
Meantime I can ponder..........why the heck that Madelline who lives in the convent thinks an Indian girl is a martian........Miss Clavel best get her straightened out..........and I conked my head with my hand when them Back Yardigans sing like they are on Broadway...........where's the good old cartoons?
Oh and Arthur.........that cartoon with Buster.........Buster is a bunny.......any parent out there want to tell me how Arthur is an Ardvark with a short nose, and what in heaven's name is Muffy and Francine.........yeah this is small.......in the scope of the world, but I need to know.......how's kids gonna learn when some of the charachters are animals but some are I don't know what?
Yepper, on a Saturday I'd have seen this stuff, but never gave it a second thought cause my mind was on getting what kept me from getting sick....dope.
Being clean is good.
your right--what is muffy-thats crazy its a cool show --my fav on pbs is jakers have you seen that its so cute and i think mel brooks is the voice of the crazy sheep it si good to be able to focus (or not focus) on the little things thanks for reminding me!!!!!!!!
Alright my gal..Bryn..well its Monday now but yeh..Sats are my favourite day of the week..im down with Arthur and his cohorts all good.I do the swimming thing with me and Sian and we bike it up there so extra healthy here..instead of the other sneaky scenarios ya mentioned...after the swim its down to Subway for a treat then whatever the day throughs at us.My ma does that window cleaning vibe with the vinegar and newspapers ...id let a window go dirty but if my new nikes had a speck of dirt on em id be out cleaning em like a loon...strange thought process eh??
Take care Miss.........Davey
Take care Miss.........Davey
lol Bryn,
I love Arther...its a cool cartoon. Not really sure what any of those animals are supposed to be. Cartoons dont really show a good example for children these days. I have to laugh at some of the characters and things they do and say. Oh my god talking of tv...I am watching coronation street, where is little Freddy? Does anyone know where he is or who has got him?? Its back on in 30 mins so might find out soon enough but its been doing my head in cos they changed the story because of little maddie going missing. It was going to be about an abduction...what the hell is the plot now?? God I love my soaps.

Heres a blast from the past....can anyone remember hopper poppers??? ike a half a ball which you turn inside out and then put it down and it turns itself back and flips up in the air?? What about them things....like a ball on a rope, which goes around your foot then you swing it around and jump over the rope and ball?? What do you call them again?? Oh penny...I played with nothing else as a kid but they dont have this anymore.....my atari...best computer going at the time....sony mastersystem came next with alex the kid built in.can anyone remember him?...and good old rollerscates...you dont get them anymore just blades and trainers with wheels now....heely's I think thier called...look great though, do you think they'd do em in my size?? lol

Atari? Girl, youse a baby child.
Tina (Misty Eyes) there and I would recall throw a rock at the ptarydactal or our blast from the past would be how to whip up a pattern for Little House On The Prarie. O.K. I speak for myself.
Yeah, that thing I got one in my garage. What is that called where ya skip over it and it's attached to your leg? I got a purple one of them. Maybe SKIP-IT?
Tres had a Barbie house for like a half hour. All I know is I love them things I had called Liddle Kiddles. They make Polly Pocket look like a floosie. Liddle Kiddles were the s*it. My brother keeps bringing them up so I know he's been looking for them on his yard sale, flea market jaunts. That's my blast Bunny.

Alright..all..yeh with ya BR....bout the Heelys and rollerblades my daughter thinks shes on Swan Lake or sumthin..when shes doin all her lil twists and turns...and she wont wear the knee pads...not cool enough..so plenty of bruised kness etc.

Its great to be able to remember this stuff..its life etc.and who we are...as the thread suggests ..High.v.Clean..i take my cuppa and cigg.anytime over running round tring to get the cash for a score...the wknds were always a b**** for that specially Sundays..the day of the sick ..me and my scoring mates used to call it.Anyway ive rambled on enough........take care all.......Davey

The last month i have been getting my daughters and mine passports sorted...hers got sent back the first time coz there was a mistake on it..so major hurry up and stress...oh man would i have loved a few downers to take the edge off..wouldve been another day missed no doubt.I think coz when yer a 24/7 addict you never think of the mundane ,everyday stuff people gotta do to get on...when on smack i couldnt have cared if the walls feel in after i had my bang.I booked the flights last night..but of course i booked us to come back a day later than i should...my works gonna be happy....so maybe im not as together as i thought..but it got done.I know some folks might say big deal a passport and a couple of flights...well it kinda was for me...coz as an addict all i wanted was for some relief from all the forms and planning....so watch out even fyling and carrying a passport can be triggers.lol
Just a early morning blab ...i been up since bleedin 5.30am....and got a full day of this sober Saturday...everyone have a good day ..........Davey

Cheers ..Bryn you really are the bizz.in my book.yeh as ya said the easy bake oven is well cool...Sian and her mate Ellen have sumthin similar ..but theyve dragged it out into the yard and make great looking concotions from dried mud and leaves and petals from our garden very artistic from their point of veiw.The lad nxt door (10yrs)has a quad..not that powerful but i allow Sian a go when she has a helmet etc.coz the kids round here are blessed with a big feild with 1.a swinging tyre.2 a tree house..with furniture and a ladder tres chic!!and 3 a large track for their bikes or the quad...talk about no fear ..this lot would just laugh at ya and your silly lil safetyman warnings...until a knock then its DADDY!!!!!boohooohooo...they actually compare scars..you know how it is.As a treat today im bringing Sian and 3 of her mates Bowling today...so wish me luck...coz even at there age(7/8)they can be really competative.
All have a good weekend ...specially you Bryn...ya deserve it....take care all.....Davey
