    me too - I am petrified of that whole scenario and having to make death tapes for the kids. I have death letters in the safe in case of car accidents etc.. Is that strange? Seemed normal until I wrote it down in a public domain !!


    Not strange at all. I have been making death letters since I was 5 years old, every time I have to have an operation I'm scared I wont wake up so I write letters the night before and leave them on my pillow. Perhaps a little strange but I'm always happier when I know they are done.

    LOL Elly - still haven't got half way down the glass!!
    Joey - I think I've seen the kit you mean but not managed to work out the sort of paint. think I'd be tempted to try out acrylic or the sort you make window clings from. The wire seems to be in a mold and you paint in the middle and let it spread out to the wire edges - is that right. and then leave for a few hours before removing from mold. then the paint appears stretched across the wire petals.
    Other more crafty people may know what sort of paint is more likely to achieve this.

    That's the one. The paint is very much like the ones I used as a kid for making window stickers (not sure what they were really called though) but I always bought that in a kit too, so never knew what it was. I'll give acrylic a go. Thanks hon.

    2cats - so very sorry about your poor cat. It's a horrible thing to lose a cat especially when it's been around so long. It's bad enough when you've only had them a short time.

    This is a really lovely poem I found, hope it makes you smile x

    [FONT=Geneva,Arial]Oh what unhappy twist of fate
    Has brought you homeless to my gate,
    The gate where once another stood
    To beg for shelter warmth and food?[/FONT]

    [FONT=Geneva,Arial]For from that day I ceased to be
    The master of my destiny,
    While she, with purr and velvet paw
    Became within my house the law.[/FONT]

    [FONT=Geneva,Arial]She scratched the furniture and shed
    And claimed the middle of my bed,
    She ruled in arrogance and pride
    And broke my heart the day she died.[/FONT]

    [FONT=Geneva,Arial]So if you really think, oh cat
    I'd willingly relive all that,
    Because you come forlorn and thin
    Well don't just stand there - come on in![/FONT]

    I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine and he shall be my Squishy.

  • The proofreader is me. Now put a sock (animal) in it, you lot, or I'll be calling you the Smirkin' Merkins :D

    2cats, so sad for you. My cat in the UK had to be PTS on Christmas Eve, my ex is still cut up about it. In a sense I said goodbye to her when I left, so although it's hard it's probably worse for him as she was with him every day and now she isn't.
