The 3 A's - Then & Now

Making a permanent move to Cyprus in 1985 I didn’t really think that the first 2 friends I would make would be 2 Brits….yes and wait for it both of them named Alison . ! well there you go …… God was arranging things in perfection as he always does .he must have thought to himself cant have those 3 young women struggling to adjust to the different culture of this Beautiful but sometimes crazy island ( : they each will need a pal to moan and groan and share the good
as well as the bad throughout the years to come. Well just for those of you who don’t already know , we all were there in Cyprus because we had all started holiday romances ….( yes some of them do work ! contrary to the reports of many who say they never last ) we were all dating 3 local Cypriot guys who were all friends together also !!! ….and we were all in the first year of our new life ..in Cyprus , we were not actually married when we all met each other , but the following couple of years saw us through that stage , and of course we were able to be there for each other in many ways and giving each other the usual girlfriend opinions and advice , supporting each other when all the greek relatives got to much to bear now and again ….LOL…anyone ever seen the movie ….My Big Fat Greek Wedding ? well if you have you may have some ides of the way the Greeks live ….everything is big and loud and well different to the way we do some things back home ! so having some friends who were there to escape with was a real good thing for us all …..oh don’t get me wrong of course we loved our Cypriot relatives …well not quite …we sort of loved them in small doses would be more precise ; ) LOL OK so when I say they they do everything BIG…. That includes food and how much they eat….so you judge yourself how much will power I had to refuse the food when you see the before and after pic here with this post !! ….well ok I have to admit …It looks like I am the only one who grew bigger !!! ) Well not long after that first photo I was getting bigger….not from food but yes, I was going to have a baby !! :) and once again my Brit pals the 2 other Alisons were there to support me through it all ….. well I was the first friend out of the 3 of us to be a mom, and what a date the baby chose to make an appearance ,yes the date Allyson was getting married ! so I missed my good friends big day…well not all of it though as much to the surprise of all the staff at the hospital , Allyson and Marios her husband came to congratulate me on my daughters birth wearing her wedding dress , oh what a lovely surprise that was, and the champagne was flowing right there in the clinic to celebrate 2 wonderful occasion s ! Well of course we all had a couple of children each in the following years, we went through so many good and bad times , but the wonderful thing is , when God places someone in your life he does it for many reasons and even though we don’t see each other as often as we would like the 3A’s have always been there for each other when ever there is the need …..we have seen each other through so many sad occasions , we all have lost loved ones over the years but having the love of a good friend always gets you through what seems to be the worst days of your life , I thank each one of them for being there for me always. Well just recently we decided we would like to do another line up for a photograph , and we had another wonderful get together over a coffee last week……oh how our tongues never stopped chatting , well we must have covered the events of the 22 years we have been good friends…lol…..and umpteen cups of Costa coffee the place where we met up ! There have been some significant events in my life where I have needed the other 2 A’s to be there for me ….one was not a situation that anyone wants to find themselves in …..I became a widow, so they cried with me , oh after so many years of all of us knowing each other the husbands as well as the wives , we were devastated to suffer the loss of Nicos my husband at such an early stage , ….but we cried and cried but yes life does go on……….and I thank God for my friends once again . Now I have to say recently my two Alisons have been smiling and laughing with me as God once again has placed a very important person in my life…..Oh how things work out , all for a reason , well I have to tell everyone that even though when I announced that I had met the the most amazing man who arrived in my life via the internet ! my Alisons ,being the protectors and guardians ! were surely mortified …LOL….oh they surely never believed such a thing like perfect love could start up on the net !!! well they didn’t really say they had doubts but I think they did, well still they supported me …but warned me that maybe he could turn out to be some mass murderer/psycho or something else just as bad …oh what scary things could happen to me ……. But still they smiled and said I looked so very happy that maybe ….just maybe he was a genuine good guy ( : ….. the 2 Alisons have finally admitted after meeting him here in Cyprus last October this could be weirdo is actually one wonderful guy…… and yes given me their approval that he is one ‘ Canny’ man…..thats Allysons North east of UK language for a lovely fella….especially after my wonderful fiancé (Yes we got engaged ) put our photos together in a small movie what can be viewed here on this link………. Oh well this post has been a bit long but not as long as it would have been if I had told the many stories of the wonderful friendship events of the 3A’S …maybe in the future I will post many more events including them ( : well I hope so but the one very important event which I hope they will be part of will be the day I will marry the man of my dreams , the one I adore and cherish and love with all of my heart………My Chester Wade ( Garazon ) who is more important to me than the air I breathe With this closing paragraph I just want to say Thank you God for sending me some loyal wonderful friends in this life , to the 3 A’s and many other good friends here in Cyprus who have been there for me. Most of All I want to Thank my Mr C. for loving me the way he does, without him I wouldn’t have been where I am today .he has changed my life completely and I love him so very much. . So wherever my future will be , maybe from Cyprus to America my friends will always be there in my heart,

Love you all folks, Alison M.

WARNING

You've heard about people who have been abducted and had their
kidneys removed by black-market organ thieves. Well, this kind of cruel
theft is happening with other body parts as well!
My thighs were stolen from me during the night a few years ago. I
went to sleep and woke up with someone else's thighs. It was just
that quick.

The replacements had the texture of cooked oatmeal. Whose thighs
were these and what happened to mine? I spent the entire summer
looking for my thighs. Finally, hurt and angry, I resigned myself to
living out my life in jeans. And then the thieves struck again.

My butt was next. I knew it was the same gang, because they took
pains to match my new rear end to the thighs they had stuck me with
earlier. But my new butt was attached at least three inches lower than my
original! I realized I'd have to give up my jeans in favor of long skirts.

Two years ago I realized my arms had been switched. One morning I
was fixing my hair and was horrified to see the flesh of my upper arms
swing to and fro with the motion of the hairbrush. This was really
getting scary - my body was being replaced one section at a Time. What
could they do to me next?

When my poor neck suddenly disappeared and was replaced with a turkey neck ,I decided to tell my story , women of the world wake up andsmell the coffee !
Those "plastic" surgeons are using REAL
replacement body parts stolen from you and me! The next time someone you know
has something "lifted", look again - was it lifted from you?

THIS IS NOT A HOAX. This is happening to women everywhere every
night.

WARN YOUR FRIENDS!

P.S. Last year I thought someone had stolen my boobs. I was
lying in bed and they were gone! But when I jumped out of bed, I was
relieved to see that they had just been hiding in my armpits as I slept.
Now I keep them hidden in my waistband.
