| | 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. |  | |

| | Happy Holidays All ! My family and I are leaving on our holiday early Thursday morning, and we are currently in a scramble to get packed and organized. So, in case I don't have another chance, I wanted to wish you all a wonderful holiday and a safe and happy new year. Take care, and we will chat with you all again after our return on the 5th of January. |

Nollaig Shona agus Athbhliain faoi Mhaise Daoibh! (Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!)
Go mbeire muid beo ar an am seo arís. (Toast - May we be alive at this time next year!)
I think our holiday is going to be weird... Newfoundland Irish Christmas in the Carribean??? Very weird...  But hoefully fun.
I know holidays aren't the best of times for everyone here, I remember that well from the 5 years I was away from my family, but I still wish everyone here a happy or at least restful time and take care. |

| | Have a safe and wonderfully relaxing trip! As a fellow Irishman (or girl as the case may be), I loved the gaelic lessons as I know none of it. =)
Thanks, ya'all - Merry Christmas!

| | And a happy holiday season to you all.... please enjoy your holiday together and have a great Christmas and even better new year. I know one thing, by the sounds of it I will be in deep shit when we come over your way next year, as I pronounce it (New-Found-Land) which Evie said I could be beaten for. Apparently I must learn to call it (New-Fu-Land) or something like that pronunciation.... HELP! I don't mind stirring the pot anyway, which even when learnt to say correctly, I will still go down the shop and say it my way just to gauge the reaction.... a shit, I know I am. |

| | Haha Anthony, I am not kidding, you should pronounce it our way... or else. This is from the Newfoundland tourism website: Quote: |
Newfoundland is an island that was independent until 1949 when it joined confederation with Canada. Newfoundlanders pronounce Newfoundland to rhyme with 'understand,' placing emphasis on -LAND, not New or found-. It sounds something like "newfin-LAND." Mainlanders (those residing in mainland Canada) and tourists are noted for their pronunciation of Newfoundland as "new-FOUND-lund". This should be avoided however as it is considered offensive to Newfoundlanders.
