Anyone not in the mainland 'states or on nightshift there who keeps my strange hours on these boards ?

I know of

Orchid
Suzet*
Togetheralone
Alphin
Ibiza
Anyname
Tummytuck
Smur


but thats about it I reckon.

When I was in a LOT of trouble there was a wonderful nightshift that kept me afloat:

RIF (serving in Afghanistan back then)
KiwiJ (recovered, doesn't check in here often)
Brownhair (divorcing, getting on with her life)
Orchid (who can't keep away ! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />)

Any lurkers on the nightshift care to 'de-cloak' and say hello ?


Clock in for the nightshift here !

Hi all, I'm in the States, but I'm almost always around at this time. My situation has given me some sleeping problems. I like to take this time to catch up on my reading at MB, and I try my best to gather any wise words that apply to me or my WW.

This board is helping me make it through some tough times. Thanks to everyone... especially the nightshifters.

Bob, as you can see I'm clocking in for the nightshift to say hello to you! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Yea, I'm living on the opposite side of the world, so sometimes my posting hours is very strange.

Tomorrow I'm leaving for a 10 day holiday with my husband and parents-in-law, so I will not be around on these forums for the next 2 weeks.

Blessings,
Suzet

evening people. I also live on other side of the globe lol in australia. Yes it happens here also. I am always on this time of night. Dont say much just do a lot of reading. Bobs offer of clocking in was too inviting not to oblige.

All2hard, one of my girlfriends also stays in Australia – there is a time difference of 8 hours from South-Africa, so if I want to send my friend a sms, I must always first check & calculate the time to make sure I will not wake her up in the middle of the night! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> On my watch it’s almost 12:00 pm.

Hey Bob!

Ahhh the night shift! I do miss it at times, but I'd rather be home with Mrs. RIF and our girls <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />.

Seems like the only time I have to check back in here is early in the AM or late at night... Can I be an honorary N/S member??? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Hi RIF
and all

I'm a part time night shift person...as I'm back working now - some BLOKE'S (who shall emain nameless [A2] <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />) very very politically correct [eg crap] idea about having a career while he's away to keep me out of trouble.

Life may feel as if you are constantly getting kicked on a daily basis, living is about picking yourself up each day and going on and on and on regardless.

Sir, you have earned the right to join any community you wish with my blessing and thanks !

I look back at those days RIF can you BELIEVE God threw that team together? Unbelievable !

NO MONEY could have assembled the guidance team on nightshift that I got.

A Christian headship coach to prepare for when I needed to pick up the reins of Christian headship in my family EVEN THOUGH at the time such was the last thing on my mind !
The world's reverse babble expert !
A wonderful sharing FWW to give me insight into Squids mind!

Incredible. I have been blessed.


Incredible.

Morning Texan girl - hope you had a good night sleep! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only poster on here who lives in South-Africa? I became friends with another poster (her screen name is Enid) through this forum. She is also a South-African, but she doesn't post here anymore.

I am also on the opposite swing. My day is almost over. Will see WH tomorrow. Hope it's better than last time.

Wish you all well.
