My mum suggested...

that i get a penpal in the services, after i sarcastically commented how interesting my life was.

well, i suppose if the bullets don't get him, he can die of boredom reading my letters.

It can't be that bad, surely?

Does she not know you correspond with us? Oh, wait a minute...that's maybe the problem.

i've just reached that stage where all my friends are settled, getting married/got married, having kids and not available to come out and play

and i've got no one special to play with either at the moment

i'm bored.

Get a kitten. No, seriously.

I am a bit of a 'rufty tufty' bloke at times but I'm a sucker for our new kitten.

I'm married, etc and I miss going out, and it can be boring for 'us' as well...but fun does not need to be going out.

 

[buggi]

well, i've got my ferrets to entertain me but it's not that.

dare i say it.., feel a bit lonely.

 

[Bigtallfatbloke]

it's possible to be lonely even with a friend

 

[buggi]

true. i think i'm hormonal. i'm not usually down in the dumps. [slaps myself across the face and pulls myself together]

Here's my kitten:

How can I be lonely with her?
(and yes, she is sticking her tongue out!)
But I hear what you're saying...take care of yourself and don't pay too much attention to other's views.

Is this some alternative meaning of penpal that has completely gone over my head?

 

[buggi]

is that a Sphynx cat?

 

[marinyork]

If the face were slightly different and a different colour I'd say you'd accidentally adopted a kangaroo Noodley.

She's a Lilac Oriental. And the reason I rush home from work...

She is a bit like one, now you mention it!

She knows I rush home from work to see the kitten

But I take time when I am at home to lavish attention on Mrs Noodley. She seems to like me and the kitten getting on well..
