No one what!? No one should buy a turntable?

Why thank you. I’m glad the I “just woke up like this” look is pleasing to you.

 

Off topic - but a great story about Syl.

*Sylvie - debt collector.
For quite some time I had been serving a local Indian restaurant.
For some obscure reason the proprietor suddenly decided to stop paying his bills.

Enter ‘Sylvie’ - my debt collector.

“Dave - when will his restaurant be working at full capacity?
I need a full restaurant to make my plan work.”

“Well I reckon at about 10pm on Friday evening.
Why - what are you going to do Syl?”

“Wait and see - it should be fun.
Just drive me down there.”

I was not let in on the plan.
————————
Friday came around.
I dropped her off, parking outside.
In she went - up to the counter - called out the boss man and said:
“I would like you to pay my husband’s bill
- right now! You owe him over £200!”
(She wasn’t whispering.)

“Look - will you come into my office please - this is embarrassing!”

“No - we will sort this out right here and now!”
With that she turned to face the diners and took the floor.

“Ladies and gentleman - I would like you to know that your restaurateur does not believe in paying his bills.
He owes us over £200.
As he does not believe in paying his bills, you needn’t pay yours.
I suggest you all just enjoy your meals and leave without making any payment.”

After a few quizzical looks and a smattering of applause she sat at one of the tables and waited.
After a few minutes a ‘lackey’ appeared with enough money to settle the outstanding account.

Sorted.
I could hardly believe it!
She had the courage of her convictions.
She saw something was wrong, so she made sure she put it right.

When she came out I said
“Weren’t you nervous Syl?”
She said, “Of course not.
The person I’m afraid of hasn’t been born yet.”

‘What a Gal !!!’

That was my Sylvie.

@Jazzer, this was a great story! There is nothing I admire more than a strong woman. I have done very similar things myself. You clearly picked a winner there.

 

A stunning love story until the end. I'm so thankful that someone in these torture chambers was able to experience it. You deserve it.

 

So do you Zugzug.
So does every single one of us.
I so hope it will happen my friend.

 

It's just a typical bring-your-dog-to-a-hardware-store day.

 

I love how unimpressed the dog looks.

 

Wife took this after I took a sip of exceptionally bad coffee in Nice

 

@Christiaan

My dog says hi to yours:

 

I love this thread. No mentions of tinnitus.

 

The coffee was bad, but was the moment well spent?

 

For me the dog is thinking: "Where did you put me?"

 

OMG, is she yours? What breed?

 

So cute.

Great gif. I love Gumball.

 

I originally thought there was nothing I would rather pinch than your baby cheeks, but I must say, that dog adds stiff competition. Then again, the dog probably needs a soothing pat on the head more than me awkwardly pinching its cheeks.

 

I finally cut my hair

 

Judy is a black/silver miniature schnauzer and she's basically my parents' dog Though I would like to think she's my ''part-time'' dog, as she sometimes spends a few days per week at my new place when my parents are off for work, vacation, etc.

 

You might not expect this, but this is actually her happy face

 

You look way too decent for being in here my friend!

Enjoy the cut and start saving for that broom hair + beard in-one -style we’re so infamous about

 

Looking sharp @Julien87. Nice work, especially if you cut it all by yourself

 

Thanks! Yes I cut it myself

 

Good look man. The facial hair goes well with the hair.

 

So... who wants to sign this?

 

I need her in my life! She looks like a little old lady with those eyebrows - sooo adorable.

Tell your parents I'll look after her if they like!

 

No! You broke your ankle...

So sorry... Was it a bad break or do they think it will be fine again?

Lots of hugs to you!

Goodnight...

 

Hello everyone, I'm very new here.

I have had a sudden hearing loss in my left ear and tinnitus for over a year now.
I have learned a lot by reading some of the posts everyone shared. Thank you for the transparency of your experiences. I'm glad to have found this forum, it makes those hard days like today much easier knowing I'm not alone.

 

I'm debating shaving and leaving only the stache.-. ya know... to complete the look.

 

That would be hilarious

 

Hi @LuNa46, welcome to the club!

It’s not good you’re suffering with ear issues, but it is good to have you join us - because let’s face it, suffering with other people, is much better than suffering alone.

Anyway, thank you for posting a photo of yourself. It’s always lovely having another gorgeous face for us to see.

If you want a casual chat and about anything, post in the ‘chitchat and all that’ thread. Or if you wanna share more photos in this thread, then please do. It’s always interesting seeing what we’re all up to.

Right, I’ve got to go to work, but I hope you and everyone else has a good day, and we’ll speak soon no doubt.

Steph <3

 

Aura! What did I tell you about trying to climb through people’s windows at night!? I said you’d get hurt! Stalking people never ends well.

Seriously though, how you manage to do that!?
