What’s your excuse?

I say....
I'm lost?
Don't really understand the question?
Am I getting old...

I know a couple of people, including myself, that have a blanket excuse for things. I either say 'I'm tired' or 'it's late'. You've still got your wits about you jonaj, don't worry! :)

Some people, myself included, have a blanket excuse for things. I either say 'I'm tired' or 'it's late' - either way, you still have your wits about you jonaj, haha. Don't worry about that. ;)

Ah! now I understand.

I was always looking for ways to 'opt-out' of all kinds of things.
People are well meaning, but I hate being asked to go somewhere, do something....So I got about a dozen projects, that I love.I am slowly doing them, and by 2020 I should be finished!....I just tell them I am 'Time poor' and it's the truth, I have a long long loved list....of my favourite things to do!
I don't say about my projects much...just that I have a lot to finish.

Sorry, I don't know why my reply came up twice. My internet is being temperamental, again! "Time poor" is good, general but good.

Lol...yeah I know, but they always seem to understand, lol...lol.
Like I'm a woman on a 'mission' :)

Two kids.

by Jennifer Muirhead

I don't think I can use my one child as an excuse. Well, not in my family anyway. I'm one of five, one of my aunt's had five in five years, and my godmother has eight. Kudos to them; I don't know how they did it.

I don't really use my children as an excuse. I was just trying to enter into the spirit of things.

Fair enough Jennifer. Haha, thanks.

Too busy.
Too much to do.
Three kids.
No time.

Suppose I should say yes more often , truth is I get bored at these events.
Everyone painting a perfect image of their lives ...Just depressing.
So I rather be busy working on my to do list and endless projects.
Estimated date of completion 2050...lol

Haha. Good for you zen.

I'm too depressed.

by Bryony Harrison

Oh. I use that too. I don't like to use it. But I do.

LOL

I was just thinking, I use that too.
Trouble is ''It's true!'' I just became depressed when they asked me....
seriously.

It's often true for me too. I do get depressed a lot.

I find that it's much easier to slump into a depression than it is to be happy. What's up with that?

Sod's Law.

Murphy's Law?

Yep, one and the same.

No time...
Too busy...
Too tired...
Too much money...
Not technical enough...

Terrible. JUST DO IT1

by Justine Crowley

Not technical enough? You like a challenge, do you Justine?

As we get older we can do what we want easier than when we were kids.

My other half always says, "tell them you have to shave the cat". Great. We don't have one.
