aren't trees awesome? I swear, i almost wish i didn't have the animals and then i could turn this place into an arboretum.
edit: I'm sitting here clutching a tea towel to my hand which i cut opening a bottle of wine.

I love trees. I have a garden full of the wrong kind of trees, each and every one badly planted.
Half of them are too big for the garden and the other half aren't suitable for the climate but they struggle on and I can't find it in myself to cull them.
I know it sounds soft but they really are like people, no matter what life throws at them they find a way to survive.

Oh...dear, I know you said you weren't keen, but IMO its to be celebrated.
I'll say a toast to that:
May this day be celebrated in recognition of WS's freedom and stand as conformation of her amazing ability to do all things she thought she needed a marriage for alone...raise brats, provide a home and be fulfilled and cared about.

Congratulations.
If only I were 10 years younger
oh and single of course.
You would of course have to fight off jelly and his ws boot fetish.
Unless of course he now finds cleaver licking him off of !!!!!! Cheyney's stomach more appealing. There've been some strange old threads out in the wide yonder in the past few days. Finding it hard to keep up.
I blame whoever introduced me to Angry Birds (no not an aka for the coven).Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

Younger??? My mental image of you is younger than me, michaels, and I'm the same age as wageslave, more or less.vivatifosi wrote: »You would of course have to fight off jelly and his ws boot fetish.
I realise I haven't the faintest idea how old jelly is either, and while I have a general impression that he's single, I don't actually know.
This "being friends with pixels" lark is very odd, but I wouldn't be without it, and as far as pixels can be there for anyone, we're there for you, wageslave. Divorce sucks, but on the other hand, freedom is good, so I can commiserate with you and rejoice with lir over your freedom simultaneously. I think you know you are better off without ties to that man (apart from the brat, of course).
Which was it today, the nisi or the absolute? My nisi happened while I was on holiday. There was a scanned copy of it waiting in my email inbox when I got home. I still can't put into words how I felt.
You're an amazing woman, wageslave, and you've achieved so much. Hold your head up and don't let the divorce-shame thing get to you, traveller background, catholic upbringing, whatever.Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

I hadn't thought about age that much but I seem to recall being surprised that tomterm is probably the same age as me (he seems so much wiser and more level headed...not something I'll grow into I now realise). I think LJ is not far off either....despite our love for retro music...(that's just ''music'' for some of you
- lir ducks-) and the bowls thing....he's just a level headed chap too. Cleaver is a bit younger than me. I sometimes feel a bit big sisterish around him.
Michaels' beautiful children are young in the pictures but are the pictures oldish?....I'd have him samish age as lydia. fc was a youngish mother I think, and now cooler than most women younger than her, and viva, pn and I get to retain agelessness (where children are like rings on trees
)
Our nice men are ..well...nice men...and women like to say they don't exist. Either they all have partners, or they hide very well in the real world. If I were not loved up to the passport hiding fir I'd be making pixelated cow eyes at any or all of them who were single. 0 -
Have you tried reading on eink (the kindle technology) not the backlit lcd screens?
It's a revelation!
Simple answer is no.....afraid I have fallen rather behind on technological advances in recent years. If hubby was still here, we would probably have all the latest gadgets courtesy of his rather nice big bonuses (and a blooming working washing machine!) but we would also probably be moaning about the loss of child benefit as his salary was too high for it when we split, let alone what it would have been now.We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

I was really quite depressed when my divorce became final...so I cheered myself up by selling all my rings.
Now THAT made me feel a lot better :rotfl:We made it!
