Hi all, I will have to put on hold my holiday stories for a while. Last week Mrs Handy's ankle began to swell and get painful. Now nothing unusual in aches and pains as she has had more spare parts fitted than the 5 million dollar woman. But today the swelling was so bad she decided to go to our local Emergency room to be checked. That was at 10am. She was referred to the county hospital for tests and X rays. The Junior Doctor who saw her (Oesteo) called a consultant who took a sample of fluid without an anesthetic (ouch - she could walk up the walls using her bum cheeks). She was then told that she would have to go to a ward to wait for the results of blood tests and blood culture, as if she was kept in A&E for more than 4 hours the unit gets fined.

I will ad that the Junior made a right balls of fitting a canulla, Mrs Handy took over and sorted it herself (you cant keep an old nurse down)
On the ward they looked blankly and told her that there was now chance of getting results back in the two hours the medic had promised and that an overnight stay was likely.

I shot back home to get some over night gear for her and to see to the dogs. When I got back to county hospital Mrs Handy was waiting for me having discharged herself, threatening Fire and Brimstone on who ever got in her way. They had taken her an evening meal which she will swear on oath had already been chewed at by someone else.

I told her I think she has gout and as I dodged a frying pan to the head she said were not rich enough to get gout.

So that's how Handy's spent 12 hours today on his last day off.

Problem is Mrs H's ankle is just the same as it was this morning, at least I can outrun her at the moment.

Regards all, Handy.:D

Praying that frying pan wasn't a really heavy cheapo from Mr T. :rotfl:....why exactly did she discharge herself? As for the food being eaten by someone else - does she need some of my spare thorazine.......I have some spare...tee hee

Hi Erme, Hi all. Not wanting to get into a theological discussion, but I read once that the big boss gave Shepherds a dispensation on Sundays as they had their own flock to look after. I interpret this as in the 21'st century he would include the Emergency services, Public services, and folks like Handy who keep the lights on, water running and things running smoothly.

I don't want to sound deep, but I have beliefs (you may find this a shock).
My favorite comic use to finish by saying Goodnight and may your God go with you. I don't mind what folks believe in as long as the believe in something.

Wishing you a good and peaceful Sunday.
Regards as always to all, Handy.:D

Och yeah...you're right Handy - works of necessity and mercy are permitted - so tending flocks etc are permitted. Jesus even ate corn plucked out of the fields when hungry on Sabbath. But worldly stuff isn't.....

So technically that means I really shouldn't be online etc on Sabbath (apart from to listen to RB which is theology) etc.etc. No online banking either for me on Sabbath. No PAD's for me on Sabbath etc. etc.....

There are 6 days to shop and make merry - one day for my soul...

So yeah Handy - hands up I stand corrected ( pray the frugal board etc can read this - do read this - with all their bullies)

A long time ago Pania wrote the message below to Newcomers or anyone who comes across a troll on the forum.


Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

What is a Troll?
A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made. If you should get such a comment made on any thread you post, asking for help and advice, please realise this comment is not directed at you personally so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal because the majority of us really are a lovely bunch – ooops, modesty!

What should I do if I get a comment made on my thread?
Firstly do not respond to the comment as this is invariably what the troll wants. So to get rid of the offending post, at the bottom of the post towards the right hand side you’ll see a red "Warning" triangle within a blue “Report” icon, as shown below:

Click the icon and then "send" the message which will inform the MSE team of the post, who will then review its content and deal with it as appropriate; sometimes even deleting the troll by making their status PPR’d (Posting Privileges Removed). Remember, this site is an asset to so many people, especially those that feels like their world is falling in around them. There is a wealth of knowledgeable people here all willing to help, whatever you do, do not let the comments of one silly individual deter you from availing yourself of the knowledge base that is on offer here.

PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE FORUM

It is testament to the work that Martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time, knowledge and experience freely to others; without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of their debt crisis

PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT
