Pastures,...
Just remember its not you its them.
Why did you go there? I'd have stayed on my tod in control of my own emir ment eating whatever lettuce I damn well wanted.
Guess you wanted to. see your parent though.0 -
I've got no advice on that score. In my experience if you get through Christmas without one set of relatives killing the other set you're doing pretty well.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

Writing a Christmas letter... wanted to know when the last hamster died and when we got the new one. Nothing mentioned on the calendar, don't keep a diary... NPT to the rescue. Both the demise of the old hamster and the acquisition of the new one had been duly chronicled and could be searched for and the date discovered!
Oh, and I dreamt about you lot last night. I was trying to buy this house and posting about it to get advice from you all, but PN was warning me that it would be silly to buy a house on an island to which the ferry only went twice a day. I decided that since it was only a small stretch of sea to cross, I should get a boat, and was sorting out a boat and a trailer, so that I could tow the boat when driving, and then put the car in the boat to get across the water to get to the house and back. I was wondering if this was really practicable when I remembered I've already been in the house nearly 3 years, and was troubled not to be able to remember how I've been managing the sea crossing. When I woke up I realised immediately that I live on mainland Britain, but thought for a few minutes that I was on the coast, and had to wake up properly in order to remember that I'm in a landlocked county!Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

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.

When I click on someone's name, and try to look at their profile I am getting the message that this user is not registered. Weird.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

The thanks button is producing error messages for me, although it does seem to add thanks as well.

Unfortunately, keeping one's head down and accepting one can never win is the behaviour most likely to train hypercritical people to get even more hypercritical.
Appeasement ... didn't work for Chamberlain, doesn't work in families.
