BookWorm Happy Birthday, hope you have a lovely evening.

Byatt That can't have been very nice to witness. I don't know if there is much you can do in that situation, if you had asked her if she was ok I am sure she would have answered yes as the man was there. I saw something similar myself today only it was the women telling the man in no uncertain terms what to do, he refused so she said she would kill herself! From his response it wasn't the first time she had threaten this so I don't think there was any reason for concern. All we can do is hope that people will get the help they need but until they admit or can see themselves that they need help unfortunately it is unlikely to happen.

Mrs Bones A spinning wheel would be a fantastic thing to learn. I do remember having a go once at a open day somewhere, it wasn't easy. I still need to learn how to use a sewing machine before I attempt anything more complicated.

Thanks for your response, I deleted my post before I thought anyone had read it, , as it was a bit of a downer. You're right of course.

Meanwhile... On the other side is a very emotional story about a woman who decides to end her life because of the tragedy of cancer.

I am watching through one eye ( don't follow it at all).

My youngest sister died from Ovarian cancer in the Summer of 2013.

There were times when I couldn't look at her she was so uncomfortable with what she looked like, and was going through.

The Hospice movement sorted it all out, and I cannot praise them enough.

I am in tears now.

Sorry folks, but it's still very raw. There are no rules for grieving are there?

Sorry for your loss Melanzana

No there are no rules for grieving. It does get easier to live with but it doesn't go away (or at least hasn't for me)

I lost one of my best friends in September 2011 to bowel cancer and there isn't a day go by I don't think of him.

Hugs for you x

Thank you.

I know what you are feeling. Sadly. And I hope you will be ok, in time. Which does heal.

Although in my case it seems to be taking a long time.

My partners brother died suddenly in Texas the same day as sis... You can imagine.

((((Big Hugs)))) to you and your DP - bereavement is always so sad .

Over Christmas - in a period of 2wks - my DD's partner lost his mum's father (his g/father), his mum's younger brother (more of his 'older brother figure') and his maternal 'step-father'. The last one passed on the same day as the funeral of his uncle. The grandmother, mother and DD's partner are still totally devastated - in fact grandmother didn't even get to go to her son's funeral as she'd just discovered her partner of many years at the side of her in bed ...................... life can certainly be 'such a b!tch' at times .

Happy Birthday Bookworm, any cake left?

I have been a Mrs, went back to being a Miss and am very happy with that, though I work in a school where it's either Miss or Mrs depending on which child I'm talking to so it's all water off a ducks back really. In fact I answer to pretty much anything :rotfl: DD16 and DS13 both still call me Mummy, mainly because I refuse to answer to anything else when they want something

Lost my mum 16 years ago this month when DD was 9 weeks old. Learned to live with it but as DD gets older I do wish her Grandma could see what an amazing girl she is... Hugs for anyone that needs one, or just fancies a hug because we can:A

....but in my experience MEN usually decide whether to call you Love, Mrs, or your name! I think they have an instinctive radar about that!

I can assure you that our 'radar' is completely useless when confronted with the female mind.

Lol....


We do it on purpose you know to confuse.

I get called so many different things at work that I don't actually care what i'm called now.....it all goes over my head.
