for adding me into your friends' list
So I'll do
I live in Osaka, Japan.

sheryl.... xx

Hello Sherly
Lovely to get your response
I really thank you for being my new friend
I have 2 books(written in Japanese by Japanese ) concerning with magic and witchhunts in my bookshelf as I'm interested in magic/witch a little bit.
But I haven't finish reading yet
I watched 'Macbeth' starring ' Kenneth Branagh' as Macbeth(gosh my English is absolutely grammatically wrong) this summer on TV.
As you might know, 'witches' in this drama take very important role. I really like it
Tonight(00.00 on Sunday), there is Henry the fifth on TV . Although this is nothing with witchcraft nor supernatural, I'm very much lookig forward to this film as again Kenneth Branagh is appearing He is really good English actor as well as good director I think
Well, I do hope you can keep in touch with me
Take Care & Enjoy yourself
Have a lovely dream
speak to you soon
Taamyu XXX

hiya taamyu....
how would you say such a greeting in japanese....
your english is very good, don't you worry at all, it all makes sense to me.... i am hopeless at languages....
so you like kenneth branagh, he is a good actor, i must admit....

what do you think of those manga films you make over in japan? a friend of ours is obsessed with them.... as well as the family ones, he also likes the adult manga films.... it seems strange to me to watch cartoon people doing adult bedroom things.... hope you understand me... i was just interested in your view on the subject as a native to japan....
the manga cartoons are good as they have put a lot of hard work into them, but the adult ones i can't get used to.....

if there is anything you wish to know about me then please feel free to ask....
as you already know i've been married 3 times.... my present husband is younger than me by 10 years, we have a daughter age 10 years..... i have 2 older chidren by previous husbands, but they are not living with me....
i do not work due to disabilities, my husband does not work as he has to help me around the home and also outdoors.....
please feel free to ask me any questions......
take care now my friend....

sheryl... xxxxx

hi again my friend...

i was wondering, do you have an e.mail address that i could write to you......
mine is [email protected]

it is through our cable tv interactive service, not on pc/computer.....

xxxx

Hiya Sheryl

How are you? I hope you feel better and having a lovely sunday today

Japanese Greetings
In the morning, you say : "Ohayou-(*gozaimasu)" *gozaimasu is more polite
In the afternoon, you say : "Konnichiwa (or can write Konnichiha)" (never use 'gozaimasu')
Konnichiwa means 'hello', too.
In the evening, you say : "Konbanwa (or can write Konanha)"
Good-bye : "Sayonara"
See you : "Matane" (don't use to peole who are older than you)
Hope this will help you to know some Japanese Greetings

Happy to know that you understand my English
Yup, I like Henneth Branagh I first watched his film on TV this Summer, and I found that he had lots of talent and was a good actor. His looking doesn't attract me , but I like him as an actor

MANGA...
As I'm the first generation so-called 'Manga Genetation', I liked Manga as comic. Recently as you mentioned not only young people, but also middle-aged people like Manga films (they are against for using this word, instead of 'annimation') I think Manga as cominc is also sometime bad for us to imprpove our imagination, but at the same time, it can makes sense easier than only to read books
My younger brother love Manga not only films but also comics including some girl's comics
As I was used to enjoy Manga until I graduated university. I sometimes read it still now. But I don't know about adult Manga nor adult Manga films. I know there are some even on midnight TV programme, but I'm not interested in it at all, so I've never watched it. Even I don't like 'Manga film'(annimation).
As concerned with my friens, they may not know about adult Manga films, but they like Manga film as well as Manga comic.
I'm not sure how much popular it is, but I think Manga film is very popular among Japanese people (Remember, most older people over 70 years old(can say 60 years old..) don't like Manga, because they were used to read books and some of them whom I know told me it was hard for them to understand what Manga said )
Originally, I'm very weird person or can say strange(my friends are use to say . I'm a very selfish and keep my life style, so my friends say so)
I hope you can understand my English and I'm happy if you make any sense of Manga film or adult Manga film.
To me, it's too much. I prefer read books to watch manga flims (I don't watch even Disney... ha ha ha) But I like some manga comics not films. Of course they are not adult manga I hate it


I'll ask you whenever I have questions about England or English.
Will you tell me, if you notice my English mistakes? This must help improving my English

I've got mental illness(mainly hysteria) since I came back to Japan from England . The worst time has gone, and I'm getting better and better. But it takes awful long time for me to recover completely, so I can't work at the moment. Unless I work, I can't go back to England, too
I had very bad relashionship with my mother who is one of 'reason' which mad me very ill. But my grandparents loved me, and looked after me. My grandfather died when I was 24. My grandmother has got cerebral infarction for 2 years Now she lives in senile home alone. I'm very sorry for her. My father died this April.
As I've lived alone for years, and didn't contact with my parents nor my brother, I think I'm lack of affection towards 'family' relationship. Oh, my brother and I are good brother and sister. He likes mechanics, and when we regained our good relationship after my dad became very ill in the beggining of this year, he made a computer to me. I mean he built up computer using all parts which he looked for and bought each by each at electril shos He is awfuly bad at language, English, but he is good at mechanics as boys like it . I'm very bad at mecanics, by the way

for telling me your e-mail address, I'll mail you when I have spare time. Will you tell me whether it's possible for you to receive e-mails with some heavy photos or not. If you can, I'll send some of photos of myself or my country with e-mail. Okay

I'm sorry for this long message. I hope you won't be bored of me

Take Care

Speak to you soon

Taeko as Taamyu

PS Pleae call me Taamyu at the Tea Shoppe instead of taeko.

hi there taeko...
sorry not been in touch till now, not been well my friend...
is taeko your name, and taamyu a nickname? like i am sheryl but i use paganmoon?
i will call you taamyu in tea shoppe as you asked...
your brother sounds very clever in building his computers from all the different parts.... i know nothing about them, not even got one...
does he do that as a job, he could make lots of money from it....
i think your illness, as you discribe it, is what we would call panic attacks... i too suffer from them.... i have not been out of the house for 3 days until today, the minute i got into the car i started to shake and sweat, had trouble breathing for no reason.... it was a panic attack.... i had to sit in the car as my husband and daughter went into the supermarket, i couldn't go in.... my husband wanted to bring me straight back home but i said to carry on, although i could not get out of the car.... it is a strange and frightening feeling that you can't really explain....
thank you for telling me a few greetings, i will write them down and try to learn them...
i'm not sure about e.mail pictures at the moment.... we used to be able to get them but they had to be a certain size.... since our cable tv was upgraded i don't know.... i believe you know a friend of mine on here, jim, he may know more about it.... ask him if we can recieve the picture e.mails....
i only asked about the manga as it is a friend who likes them.... we don't bother, especially with the adult ones....
i think the nearest we have watched is things like pokemon and yuge-o (not sure of spelling on that) and i'm not sure if they are classed as manga.... we watch them as my 10 year old daughter watches them sometimes when cartoons are on tv....
please keep in touch taeko....
take care of yourself....
sheryl..... xxxx

Sheryl hun
I'm not a 'panic disease', but a 'nervous breakdown or hysteria'
I'm happy to say that recently I rarely have a fit this means I'm getting better
Yup, Taamyu is my nickname on internet Just playing sounds connecting my name Taeko. I am used to be called 'Tae' as my nickname from my Japanese friends, and overseas friends call me just 'Taeko' or Sapnish friend call me 'Taekito'
So, I was thinking another one, and I found that 'taamyu' sounds comfortable to me
My brother loved mechanics as hobby, hun. He is a salesman and can't earn much money at all, I think. He loves motorcar, motorbikd... such kind of things and he maintains them by himself with his friends. Thahts all But, sure, he is kind perosn
Sheryl, I now found that digibox can't receive any heavy attachments like photos
Never mind, I'll mail you as it's better to exchange e-mailing when we talk about our private thing like our illness. People on here can peep our conversation
I know some comics in French. Asterix. Do you know it? It's very funny comics and I read most of them in English
As I'm single, I rarely watch manga on TV as well

By the way, is magic and witchcraft differnt?

Hope you feel better now.
I'm okay I took some doses. I feel very safe and relaxed

Taamyu

Hello Sheryl

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

s

How's your chest? Is it painful? I hope you feel better than before.

So, now, I'm okay
I sometimes feel depressed very much, and at that time I need medication . But I feel better than last year
I think I've become better since I joined h2g2. That's why I decided to stay here unless nobody contact me lol.

I'm having quite a quiet weekend as usual
It's really peaceful to be alone at home

It's getting colder and colder in Osaka As I have an allergy for the cold air, my nose turns into red nose in winter I can't stop sneezing and sniffling especially early in the morning

I haven't sent any Christmas cards to my overseas friends yet, so I have to send them by next Tuesday , otherwise they will reach my friends after New Year Pleae wait with good patient lol. I promise, I'll send you a card by airmail lol.

I'll have a quiet Chrismas at home alone lol
But I'll meet my friend when we have a spare time soon

Well Take Care Sheryl
Have a jolly lovely weekend

Chat soon

Hello Sheryl

that you don't feel good.
My father also had an (slight) astma, so I know how hard it is to make you calm down.
I hope you feel better after meeting your doctor.
I myself will meet my doctor as a regular meeting. I go to clinic every second Monday.
I feel better at the moment. Recently I sometimes forget taking medication, this is a good syptom (prve I needn't medication) but the bad thing as well, I have to take it regularly until I recover compeltely.

It's cold in Osaka, but not so dull or we don't have much rain in winter. So, must be better here than in England in winter
But I miss England

Sheryl...
I slept the whole day today
So, I could not anything for Christmas..
I'm afraid that I'll send cards.. to my friends after Tuesday
Never mind... Most of my friends are usually slow and don't care if they receive my greeting card after Christmas, because they also are very slow lol.
So, Please wait my postal card with good patient

I think I'll have busy Monday and Tuesday for xmas Cards

Well, Sheryl, Have a Lovely Sunday

Hope you can sleep well

Chat soon

Take Care, Please.

Hiya Sheryl

Just leave my here to say hello

At the moment, I don't feel good after meeting my doctor as I could not talk with him what I really want to tell him And he also adviced me not to be coward this year OOooooo, Confused I have to do lots of things to recover this year But I'll be little bit lazy not so serious otherwise I get confused and upset more I hope you'll understand what I mean.

It was snowy last Saturday in Osaka (it's 01.35 of the 19th in Japan/16.35 of the 18th in UK) And it's raining now. Good thing is that it's not so cold now I hope it'll be fine this morning when I wake up

Well I hope you feel better now than last week
Have a and refresh yourself, Sheryl

Take Care

Love,
Taeko

hiya taeko

yes i do understand what you mean... if you try to do too much at once it can make you worse not better... you just take it on step at a time, and at your own pace....

well as for myself, i've got over most of the cold/flu symptoms, but over the weekend i started my period... i haven't had on in quite a few months and i was bleeding heavily... thankfully it isn't as bad today so i feel a little better....

the weather is really cold here at the moment... last night everywhere was frosted over, it looks to be the same again tonight....

you take care of yourself my friend and i'll be in touch soon....

sheryl. xxxx

I have had period since last Friday
It's very painful at the first day every single time , so I need painkiller on the first day. But after I've got ill, it's lighter than before. Is this good or bad ?
So I know how tired you are during the period.
Keep yourself warm

Well, it's 02.12 now here, so I'd better to go to bed

Take Care Sheryl

Taeko

i hadn't had a period in about 3 or 4 months hun, but that has become normal for me, the doctor says it's my age. usually when i do get one it isn't too bad, just a bit of back ache, but this one was really heavy and with clots as well, didn't have any pain though so didn't worry. today it is a lot better, again i think this is normal for my age, as a woman approaching menopause.
everyone is different taeko, so i should think that your lighter periods are your body changing too hun....
hope you have a good nights sleep my friend... take care...

and sheryl.... xxxx
