    I once typed 'Trannie forum' into Google and didn't get this:

    :(

    It's a great site once you get there, though! :)

    what are you doing dear
    Just looking for a local man in a van to deliver this package.
    Oh
    I can only find one and he seems to be going on about trying to hide his package, not delivering them?

    The old has gone now.

    Darling PN, thinking of you tonight.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    Back from hols.
    Spent 10 days in Lithuania in my wife's uncle country cabin near our own private lake. (well, not really private, but it could as well be, because we had it to our own :))
    Weather was fine, not glorious...days started sunny, then in the afternoon, thunderstorms brewing and a downpour before dark.
    Temps were good though and did a lot of swimming, eating and drinking
    Lithuania is the place to be if you like your meat and beer ;)
    Lots of mosquitos, horseflies and ticks :eek:, needed a daily check for tick bites and Mrs. Wheezy had to remove a couple with tweezers.
    I always seem to attract all the nasty animals. :)

    On a side note, left the key in the ignition at Gatwick airport for the duration of the trip. Needless to say, battery was dead, so needed a jump start from the nice people at Gatwick Long Stay Car Park.

    My H is afraid of the dark.

    He wants TV in the bedroom. If we have a TV in the bedroom, he leaves it on all night. I have to wake up and turn it off when he is properly asleep. I am not allowed to change the channel even if he is snoring and he awakes for 4 seconds to tell me off and change it back. I also have to shout sometimes when I simply can't sleep through Family Guy or Match of the Day, nor do I like hearing shouty, shooting, killing type noises when I am trying to sleep.

    The other option is that we have no TV in the bedroom and he never comes to bed. He sleeps downstairs in the living room under my expensive Designers Guild throws, if I'm lucky I get a decent nights sleep without my husband. If not, I end up thumping on the ceiling (usually in vain because he can't hear) or indeed have to go marching downstairs in the middle of the night to turn it off because he's got it on LOUD.

    So we fluctuate between each of these scenarios endlessly and he wonders why I'm not naturally an early riser. :mad:

    I'm upstairs at the moment and I can very clearly hear that he is watching 24 down there.

    I'm starting to wonder if I'm your OH!:eek:

    PN, all good wishes to you at this time. I haven't yet lost a parent, but have lost others & relatives whom I have been close to. No matter what you know, nothing prepares you for it. Time is the only healer.

    Do people phone/invite? Is it postcards? Or what? I've never been invited to a sending off occasion. It'll be simple, probably family +1 + stray/random old people who turn out for all events (I'm sure there are some people that see this as a social life). Or maybe it'll just be immediate family. The old has met a lot of people through life/past interests, but since the big move hasn't really done more than send cards and so I don't expect their octogenarian friends to be up for a huge trip to wave goodbye. But what if the old had acquaintances/neighbours who are the sort to turn up .... how do you know who to inform/ask?

    I am sure we're not far off peeps doing status updates for this kind of info to be circulated.:(

    I've seen deaths announced on facebook! (Bit thoughtless as you don't know who will see it that needs to be told gently.)

    Community / faith groups often email their members when they have lost one of their group.



    There is no rush now, let others take control. Take a day or two out for yourself to eat and sleep.

    :eek:

    I was taking the mickey!
