I started to go grey when I was about 18. Now completely grey at 32. Rubbish.0

earlier today DH and I got out the lights we got from his family home when he went last. One in particualr is hideous, lt looks like a fascisti interpretation of a medieval light...brash and awkward and ugly. I'm going to need to be very inventive to turn it in to a dining room light that's not hideous. Or at least is humourously ugly.0

Sorry lir, but I feel we need pics over at the other place now.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.

The sadder thing is, a teenager could probably get all this stuff to work in about 5 mins.
I've been at it for hours now, and have even resorted to reading the manual.
I think I need a geek.
The trick is to mature into a miiddle age which combines the energy of youth and the wisdom of old age... and not the other way round :AThere is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -
Sadly I have definitely gone the other way
A lot more grey this year and not just on my head
Mine is straight as long as I have it cut often enough but let it get a little longer and it starts to go wavy.The trick is to mature into a miiddle age which combines the energy of youth and the wisdom of old age... and not the other way round :AI think....0 -
Ha Ha
Victory is Mine!!!!!
I'd like to say reading the manual helped, but I gave in and called a geek.
Who managed to walk me through it on the phone in about 5 mins. “The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

You've walked through your flat-pack furniture?!No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0

LOL, no, the flat pack stands are fine.
But now all of most of my new A/V components talk to each other and the home network shared drive like they're supposed to.
Seriously, I swore at them for hours, read the manuals, still couldn't get them to work, and it took the little smug geek less than 5 mins to diagnose the problem without even being in the room.
I swear these people are not human.:D“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

I feel the same ways about plumbers... how did these people work out how to earn £150 an hour for putting together a few scraps of pipe? Headshaking.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

It's not exactly helped by the fact that most of the countries in the north are massive anyway - Greenland's a good fraction of a million square miles and Canada and Russia are the two biggest countries.
Greenland may be fairly big, but there's no way it's nearly as big as South America, which is how it looks on that projection.You, zag and i are curly. What about the rest?
Straight and fairly short. Mousy brown - was blonde when younger, darkened as I grew up, and got several greys but not very noticeable yet.
I told the children about my mum last night when we got home late from the weekend with our friends. DS took it very quietly and went straight to bed. DD cried lots and I spent some time talking with her and cuddling her etc until she felt sleepy. This morning DS asked if it had been a dream and cried when I said no, and then asked lots of very varied questions that I did my best to answer.
I've phoned their school to say they're not in a fit state to come in today, and I've got the day off work. We'll be off to visit her in half an hour or so. My eldest brother was there over the weekend but has gone back home now, and my middle brother is there now and will be there all day, so we'll see him.
In general, I am finding that looking after DS & DD is being a useful distraction from my own loss.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.
