13682511 | Fiona: Hello Mary, Bill's eye operation was a great success! He was back home at once.

Fiona: Very well indeed. His spirits are high from the outcome.
Mary: A friend of mine had her cataract operated a couple of months ago but they under-dosed her painkillers and she suffered quite a bit.
Fiona: Oh dear, how horrible! Bill's in no pain.
Mary: Thank God! She will have to have her other eye done soon and she is rather scared.
Fiona: Next week Bill's other eye will be done but he's optimistic. We are both optimistic.
Mary: Wolf had a problem with his first cataract operation because of a bust blood vein or something like that. All around his eye the tissue was red, so was the white of the eye. He looked really terrifying for a week or more. We've had quite a bit of bad experience here as you see.
Fiona: Sorry to hear that! It's just that Bill has been having so many treatments at the same time...
Mary: Poor chap! Hopefully it has kept him away from booze.
Fiona: I wish it had! When the news are good he needs it to console himself, when they're good he has to jubilate.
Mary: They always find an excuse! Doesn't booze interfere with his heart condition?
Fiona: It does. But what can I do?! He must be responsible for himself.
Mary: True enough. All in all though it looks good for him. We both are sure that he'll soon be alright.
Fiona: Thank you both so much for your love and care. | Bill's eye surgery went well, he's doing good despite other health issues, but he continues to drink. |

Jason: Yes, I thought it was really good indeed. Some people had warned me that the plot is really far-fetched, but I don’t think about it that way. What about you?
Ben: No, I’m afraid I wasn’t interested in the least. I find these action films utterly unbelievable and over the top. Give me One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest‘. I could watch that movie over and over again.
Andre: Haven’t seen the panther, but totally agree on the Cucckoo’s Nest
Jason: I haven’t seen it, but I think it’s quite depressing, isn’t it?
Ben: But it really makes you think, you know. In the films I prefer emotions to action-packed scenes.

Paige: Apparently Hailey cheated on Zach.
Logan: Are you serious?
Paige: Yeah, and the worse part is that it was with his best friend.
Logan: Wow. I don't know what to say. I never though Hailey was capable of doing something like that.
Paige: Neither did I. Little miss perfect is not so perfect after all.
Logan: Don't say that. You don't know whar really went down between them. Maybe things weren't as great as they made seem.
Paige: Either way, cheating is a low blow.
Logan: How do you know this anyway?
Paige: Jackson told me.
Logan: Oh, come on, and you believe him?
Paige: Why would he lie?
Logan: Uh, because everything that comes out of that guy's mouth is a lie? And besides he's insanely jealous of Zach. Have you actually talked to Zach or Hailey about this?

13828651 | Sisi: I had this epiphany today
Deedee: <file_gif>
Deedee: k go on
Sisi: there's something like impostor syndrome
Sisi: but it hits you when you feel overly competent
Deedee: that makes no sense
Sisi: lemme explain
Sisi: the impostor syndrome is when you think
Sisi: "I don't belong here, I'm incompetent"
Deedee: I know
Sisi: the crybaby syndrome is when you think you don't deserve sth because you're too competent
Deedee: isn't it like feeling overqualified?
Sisi: it's when you share something and someone is so fucking caring it makes you wanna withdraw
Sisi: as if it wasn't ok for you to be treated with indulgence
Deedee: indulgence aversion sounds better
Sisi: no, crybaby syndrome is better because those syndromes induce guilt
Sisi: and because it's about being incapable of receiving something positive
Deedee: I think I get it now
Deedee: cool idea | Sisi and Deedee are having a discussion on differences between the impostor syndrome and the cry-baby syndrome. |

13727952 | Sandra: Hello, is that Pat Simms, used to work at Lister's Fine Clothing in the 1970s and 80s?
Pat: Yes, it is, which Sandra are you?
Sandra: Hi, it's Sandra Donovan, now Taylor here! How are you?
Pat: I'm very well! I haven't seen you girls in about 35 years! I left in 84, we went to run a pub, me and Jonathan.
Sandra: Well, you'll never believe it, but Brenda Riley tracked me down like this and we met up last weekend! We thought we might get the old Lister's gang together for a reunion, you know, before we're all too old!
Pat: You're not too old, you were all young girls out of school then!
Sandra: Yes, but that was almost 50 years ago, Pat! We're all grannies now!
Pat: Not me, we never had kids, our choice!
Sandra: You have no regrets, then?
Pat: Bit personal, dear! No, we retired from the pub 10 years ago, mid-60s, me and Jon have had a ball, cruises, safaris and I've seen my sister in Oz and my brother in Thailand several times.
Sandra: Oh Pat, that sounds lovely! My husband's still working, but we're planning a special trip to the US in a year or two. Can't wait! He's 66, and has had enough!
Pat: So, apart from Bren, you found any others?
Sandra: There was Betty Davies, but she was about 60 when the factory closed in 94, long time ago, if she's alive, I don't suppose she's on Facebook at 84 or something!
Pat: No, I suppose not, but you never know! I heard Marigold had passed away, you know, the supervisor?
Sandra: Yes, very sad, not long after Lister's closed, I think.
Pat: Ok, what about that young girl who loved David Bowie, joined us in about 73, only about 16 she was, I think. She always tried to match his current look, you remember when she did Ziggy Stardust with ginger hair and no eyebrows!
Sandra: Oh yes, Amanda Johnson, she was even younger than me and Brenda! She's still over 60 now though! She may well be on Facebook, did she get married, do you remember?
Pat: Not sure, could be tricky tracking all these down, so many common names!
Sandra: Oh yes, Magda Zielinski was in our section too! Maybe an easier name to find. Her mum was Polish, I think.
Pat: Oh yes, Magda, what a beauty! She was like one of the girls from Charlie's Angels, the blonde one.
Sandra: Yes, Farrah Fawcett, with the lovely hairstyle! I think Magda should have been a model, not a machinist!
Pat: Well, Sand, lovely to hear from you, please keep in touch about the reunion, or just for a chat! Bye!
Sandra: OK, Pat, hope to see you again, bye! | Pat used to work at Lister's Fine Clothing in the 1970s and 80s. Pat hasn't seen Sandra in about 35 years. Pat left in 1984 to run a pub with Jonathan.

13828935 | Kate: Hello Jamie, We just talked about you and Bill prompts me to ask about your accommodation in Mexico. Any bad experiences so far?
Jamie: Hi Kate, as a matter of fact no bad experiences at all but it's been only four places so far. Two small hotels (one excellent, one rather disappointing but nothing exceptionally worth noting) and two airbnb flats: both rather unclean but positive in other aspects, all within the average. Why would you be interested?
Kate: Your well-being of course! :))
Kate: We had 'bad' guests stay last night, but it should be expected since it was New Year.
Jamie: A mad party?
Kate: I was woken at 2 am, then up at 3 am to tell them to be quiet.
Jamie: Sorry to hear about such a nasty behaviour. They should have known better, at the latest when entering Ballito Estate. Hope no damage?
Kate: No damage... Just too many folk in the room.
Kate: And a missing towel.
Jamie: Did they calm down after your protesting?
Kate: They did. But maybe I shouldn't have complained at all, should I? They are our bread and butter.
Jamie: I think no partying can excuse keeping people awake at night! Not even New Year is an excuse, especially in such places as your estate.
Kate: Bill was furious at them but too lazy to get up and talk them off. I don't think I'd have tried to cope with the noise on my own though.
Jamie: Good that you are paid in advance. One of our hosts told us a story of a wild party in his rented apartment that he tried to put an end to, but the people in it got aggressive towards him. Before he was able to call the police, they were gone without paying and leaving a total mess behind them.
Kate: So I can say we were lucky. Where was it?
Jamie: Cienfuegos, Cuba. I don't think he mentioned the nationality of the troublemakers.
Kate: Enough about bad experiences. We wish you only the best ones.
Jamie: And the same to you!! | Kate asks Jamie about his accommodation in Mexico on Bill's request. He was in 2 hotels and 2 Aribnb flats and the experience is generally positive. Kate had noisy guests last night. It was New Year. She told them off. |
