Nice people thread part 6 - thrice by twice as nice :)

When I was a kid we had the cheap candy stripe sheets, which then became threadbare and ripped.

I remember when I was about 10 queueing at the back door of a laundry building one cold evening as they were selling off their old hotel sheets - they lasted donkeys years.

I've only ever bought cheapo sheets (£5 each tops).

Don't panic (if that seems short to you)!
It's not legallly binding.

It kind of invites you to try again with different lifestyles e.g what difference would smoking less do (a lot of extra time for very little change would be my guess).

Chance to explore options.

I've stared the lifestyle of being old in the face and didn't like what I saw. I'd rather shuffle off a bit earlier, than become incontinent, immobilised, confused, unaware, unable, endless Hospital visits/minor surgeries, trapped at home alone ... thanks

Pies all round!

People with a good home, good friends, good activities, good family, good health around them might have a whale of a time..... I don't see me being in that group.

Surely it is just a little slow...

Last night I saw 'my step mom is an alien' as it was on tv - now that probably is the worth film I have ever seen, it does not even quite fall in to the bad enough to be great category

We watched some one of that. It was incredibly bad, and I agree not quite bad enough to be good.

After seeing AI, I had dreams based on the film :eek:

I've some (most possibly) reliable friends state-side - if I asked them to receive and forward some to you they'd be pleased to do so for nothing more than the cost of doing so. They take paypal.

Sweets, thats kind of you.

I could have shipped to family though, its just inevitably i find this then being forwarded gets
Clobbered for tax ( rightly btw) and so ends up costing huge amounts.

Last week we had a mixture of the good pillow slips and my old student ones. Every morning i had chucked the cheapos put and surrou ded myself in a nest of expensively covered pi
Lows.

I also like getting in a new
Y made bed with htc sheets and doing 'angels' like in the snow. . Very little feels as good on the skin as nice bedding.


Last night it was cold, and i think we might have to dig out another quilt soon. New bed is five feet, as last one was, but seems much bigger. I sleep on the very edge usually, and dhe said he had to turn and roll twice to get to me in the night. . Early This morning because he was on the other side, i had to shimmy over to him for warmth and it seemed very far away.

PN I reckon we're about the same age. I worked in old people's homes when I was a student and I have no fear of them. The staff are positive caring people (or at least I like to think I was).:)

You can marshall your reserves to enjoy good health for a good bit longer. There was a barber who came round and shaved those that wanted it. He was older than some of the residents which worried him sometimes.

But I realised it's attitude.

If you want to live independently for as long as possible, no-one can ask for more.

I found a candy striped sheet that I had borrowed just yesterday. They make me smile

i don't know why, but having previously hated sparkling water vehermently, in the last six months or so i have become addicted to it, and buying about 100 bottles of san pelligrino a week is starting to get quite pricey.

Could you just buy a soda stream and use tap water?
