...I'll share one of mine!
In was the summer holidays when I was about 9 or 10. Every day seemed to be sunny and me and my friends Julia, jonathan & jason would play out all day, only returning for loo breaks and to eat and drink. We'd got into the habit of walking down to the chippy for a bag of chips each evening.
So I went to my Dad for the change for a bag of chips and he said no, because I'd already had some money that week.
I was gutted as the others all had the money and sloped off to the chippy with me sat on 'the wall' swinging my legs and sulking.
Well a little later they all returned happy and chatting with their chips. I saw my dad come round the corner and I said "Oh for god sake, if he's coming to call me in!!!!!!"
But as he got nearer I noticed he was carrying something, he'd made me some chips himself and made the little newspaper wrapper and greaseproof paper bag so they looked like they were from the chippy.
They were the best chips I'd ever tasted, the others were really jealous because he'd made them specially!
That's one of my absolute favourite childhood memories!

It means that someone who likes pain asks someone who gives pain to 'hurt them'. The person who gives pain knows that the most painful thing they can do ............is to refuse their request because it is something that the masochist wants or desires..............;)

That's a lovely picture Sar!
Her whole face is lit up with that smile!
Have you had that photograph made large and framed? That's a lovely way to remember her.
...Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0 -
a little bit of suggestion is all it takes...........
