    You can always rip out just the small sensitive bits of letters etc, then rip those into tiny pieces and set fire to them in an old tin can in the garden.

    Lydia: you must have googled it before they made this board hidden to people who aren't signed in. The google search bots no longer pick up this forum, I'm sure of that.

    I solve the shredding problem by working for a bank. We have huge bins for secure waste which are sent for shredding. I just take my secure waste into work.

    Simples!

    We can't set fire to stuff as there's a total fire ban across the whole of NSW.

    Thanks. Just tried it again to see what it would find, and you're right it doesn't find this board. It finds 3 instances of "late-nearly-ex" all of which are me (surprise surprise). One is on the house buying selling & renting board here on MSE, and the other two are "elsewhere", which is interesting, because I didn't know "elsewhere" was visible to search engines.
    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. (Link permitted by forum team)
    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.

    It isn't hidden.... just less public than here as only a dozen people (or less) in the whole world bother going there. I could make it hidden..... now I've got internet access. I'd just need to write a robots.txt file and upload it.

    That would make it no-indexed rather than hidden - restricting access to content until post log-in would make it hidden...
    I think....

    I was taken by surprise by a consciousness of belonging not because of anything I do or have done, but by birthright. (Hope that doesn't sound either pretentious or smug. I'm just musing really.)

    On Saturday I took my kids to see my dad while two of my brothers were with him. I think uncles are very important for kids with no dad. They got on brilliantly with them, as usual. It's just such a pity that we live so far from all my brothers and can't see them more often.

    When I go to Ireland or meet my Irish cousins we fall into a familiarity that our tenuous contact does not warrant, but our shared history does.

    Two of my great nephews (little chaps aged 3 and 4) are without their fathers. The dads died when one was 4 months old and the other little one was not yet born. An Uncle gave up his job and relocated with his wife-to-be to make their home near where he could play a part in both of their lives. This was not a man I had previously admired, however I am humbled by his priorities and action.

    Both widows also have brothers willing and able to play a day to day part in the boys lives.
