    Darknesshayz I really do feel for you. I know if I went on a social network site and found my father on there, I'd most certainly leave, so I can imagine how you're feeling. Look, if it helps at all, I'm 49, and I wouldn't be able to handle it either. Please leave the razor blades alone, pretty please? For me?

    Sandy don't let one fickle friend drag you down - it ain't worth it, honest. You mentioned a dog - what sort? Any chance of a pic?

    Re feeling cold on morphine - I'm on a sustained-release morphine tablet, and I find I get periods of totally shivering; don't know if it's related? Mind you, I also get unbearable hot flushes - you could fry an egg on me when those happen!

    Big ((((HUGS)))) to all of you; I'll try to get online tomorrow, but Mr LW's working from home, so I may not get chance.

    Unity have a lovely weekend - I've only been to Cockermouth once, in December 2003 when we went to the beer festival.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
  • Sorry, I can't get my head round what to say to people, but I'll offer hugs and send good thoughts to those suffering.
    Unity Have a wonderful weekend full of smiles. Not a problem about emails; I understand what this time of year in particular is like.

    I have muzzles for dogs available if they will come in handy.
    I must go, I have lives to ruin and hearts to break :D

    CwtA Hugs and good thoughts are always welcome. Right back atcha too, my friend.:D Oh, and I'll take you up on the offer of a muzzle, please.:rotfl:

    UnluckyT lets hope it's onward and upward for you now you have an assessment. And I'll say the same to you as I said to Sandy; don't let one fickle friend drag you down.

    LadyM two days out on the trot would put me flat on the sofa! Have a restful evening.

    UnluckyT, I know it's hard, but I have learned through much pain over a long time, that when people treat you badly, if you mentally let go of them, decide you're better off with no friends at all than people who treat you badly, that someone else will pop up in your life, someone who will treat you better!

    Well it just gets better. I got a text off the "friend" I was meant to go out with today. Thing is the text wasn't meant for me.
    It said "Good to see you today glad I didn't go with her she creeps me out when she goes all blank. She reckons its fits but I think shes just wierd. I cant really be doing with the whole epilepsy thing I prefer friends who dont thrash around on the floor its so embarrassing lol"

    I am so upset, I have been crying for the past hour. I really thought she was a good friend and was the only one I had. If thats what people think of me I'm giving up now.
    Whats the point.

    Oh my goodness, Sandy!

    What a horrible thing for her to say. If that's the way she feels, then you are better off without her. You don't deserve to be treated that way hun. :grouphug:

    willa, i understand from my veiwpoint what your saying and id rather have someone be blunt with me that how people can be.
    ive had it all too often with people and certain friends who have shown their true colours and said oh your pregnant when ive said to them ive got some good news as if id sleep around.
