| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

Ah air force, lovely. Travis is also in the air force, though it is called Air Command here. Colin is Land Force (army). I do prefer the air force of the three. Your daughter is Evie's age. How is she going? |

She is fine Kathy she is no worry she has moved out of home and has been working at a restaurant for 6 years she is now Assistant Manager it is a busy place so bit stressful for her at times. She is quite shy which surprises us she is doing well in that environment.
Am I right in saying it is 4am where you are? What are you doing on the computer at that hour? |

Yes I imagine a restaurant job would be rather stressful, however good on her for being assistant manager at such a young age, especially given her shyness! It is half past 8 am here Jen (8:30). Here in Newfoundland we are actually the furthest east of anywhere else in North America, hence our time is closer to European time than many other times in Canada/USA. We are only 2 1/2 hours behind Dublin, Ireland. |

Canada is a huge country Jen, we have 5 time zones. I believe 4 am would be Pacific Time. But then there is also Mountain, Central, Eastern, and Newfoundland Time. We are so special, Evie says, as we have our very own time zone. And yes, this will be Colin's first overseas trip. I suppose that is part of the excitement for him!
ETA: Oh pardon me, Jim tells me I missed a time zone, Atlantic, which is 1/2 hour behind Newfoundland. That makes six! Jim forgets everything else but he would remember that.

Oh yes, I know only too well. Plenty of testosterone poisoning in this house! It took the cake though, when it was the morning of Evie's birthday, and I had prepared a special breakfast for her, and Jim came downstairs and remarked, "What's the occasion?" He had only just signed the papers on Evie's new car, which he purchased for her, the day before! Honestly, I admit I was annoyed at that one!
Colin will be turning 20 in a couple of weeks, and if Jim forgets this birthday I believe I will make him sleep outside with the goats! |

Oh yes very much so. I find speaking in short simple sentences is best!
Now that I've had my daily quota of bashing my poor man I best get some work done! Have a lovely evening Jen, I've enjoyed chatting with you. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
