Hi. My name is Beverly and I'm a Strawberry Fields-aholic. :blush: :blush:



I got a brand-new, shiny MacBook Pro laptop for Christmas and since then, I've done NOTHING but sit on my sofa and post on Strawberry Fields. :blush: :blush:

The dishes are piling up in the sink, the laundry is overflowing the hamper, the litter boxes desperately need scooping and I've stopped cooking for myself. I'm only eating junk food that can be eaten from a bag. Everywhere I look, I only see strawberries and Beatles . . . my cats look like Paul and Ringo, my boyfriend has fruit for a head . . . EEK!!!

I'm afraid that if there's not an intervention soon, I may end up a female version of Howard Hughes, with long, uncut nails on my fingers and toes, stringy, unwashed hair and hands that will become irreparably frozen into a typing position.

Can someone please HELP???????? :circles: :circles:

Laughing my ass off Bev.....but I can't help you! I will just be an enabler, well, at least until the end of the year. I did take a walk and my next big goal of the year will be a shower and maybe the dishes...baby steps, baby steps...all 12 of them, right into the kitchen for some junk food and champagne.!

Slumming is fun, isn't it?

Too much fun, I'm afraid, Barb. :( :(

A shower?? You're miles ahead of me. :blush: :blush:


I'm afraid Andy is going to come home, see the condition I'm in (not to mention that of the kitties, the dogs, and the house) and return my laptop to the store! :cry: :cry:

Plus...I have to go take care of Scarface at the library before I start my festivities...can't forget my buddy. So, with that, I'm headed for the shower, to work, ever so briefly, and I will check on you later. Hey, aren't you going out tonight? Get in the shower, missy!!

Yeah, I'm supposed to go out, but I'm already formulating excuses not to!! :o I sure can't go, looking the way I do right now. :o :o

So glad to know that Scarface has you as his guardian angel. He's one lucky kitty. :wub: :wub:



OK, I guess if you can go take a shower and get things done, then I'll have a go. ;)

See you here later!! :D

I AM THE BIGGEST JOHN FAN!
I have this picture of Bev sitting on her sofa wearing kleenex boxes on her feet for slippers and requesting that people leave the food tray by the door and back away slowly.

I too am getting to where I prefer the comfort and safety of my computer chair where I can sit in my jammies all day and may or may not brush my hair.

I would only be an enabler like Barb, and I love slumming. lol


You say you want to save humanity but it`s people that you just can`t stand
John came to me in a dream and this is what he said. "I had a vision of a man on a flaming pie, and he told me that Betsy with a B not Lisa with a L is the biggest fan of mine". John trumps 'the boss' !

Hi everyone. My name is Judy and I am a Strawberry Fields-aholic.

I wake up and brush my teeth with coffee.

I put on my kleenex bedroom slippers.

I sit here all day in my jammies and I don't brush my hair.

Okay I lied, I don't have kleenex for slippers.

PEACE and love to my friends, Judy

LOL Judy.

Viva the slumming life!

Okay I have to admit that I did shower and put fresh clothes on today.

I hang my head in shame. :blush:

However I am back here again! Argh, nothing can wean me away from this place....

I, too, am addicted to Strawberry Fields. I did leave my apartment long enough to shovel the snow from behind my car so I can go to work on Tuesday.

And some days, when I have no where to go, I don't brush my hair. I do brush my teeth. ;)

Looks like Bev pulled herself away from her computer. I suppose you got to go somewhere when you take a shower and shave your legs. :P

I definitely spend too much time on here! I love Strawberry Fields and it has resulted in me knowing and genuinely caring about people all across the world. I try to strike a balance between friendship and impartiality, in the interests of fairness and everyone on the messageboard. Of course, I'm not sure if I succeed in striking that balance and whether it's actually completely viable - I just hope that people understand that I'm just trying to do the best with as little ego I possbly can.

WE all love you too Andy. You are moderator extordanaire (hope I spelled that right) You made SF the warm and fuzzy place it is.

Oh yeah, my name is Irene and I am a Strawberry Fields aholic. I took a shower came back here, stayed so long my hair is too dry to blow, so now I have to go take another shower to wet it again (no crude jokes Hound Dog :P ).

I don't even bother with the kleenex box slippers, putting them on takes too much time away from posting!!

If my husband wants to get me "in the mood" he whispers "strawberry fields forever, john, paul george, ringo" in my ear! Works everytime!!

This is great, Bill, especially step 11.

Step 4 is pretty darn good, too.
