He is a bit non plussed that I told you of his creosote damage, he is a more private person than I am, and perhaps I should not be so free with 'his' news.
DS is like that too.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.

If you come for lunch some time DH will be in flip flops or sandals, but io wouldn't look down if I were you. He has psoriasis in his toenails. If you are not used to it its really scary, Kind of demonic:eek:.
One of the things I love most is that he isn't at all self conscious about it, He was a little when he had his first flare after we met. When he realised it really didn't didn't bother me he wasn't bothered either. My sibling has considerably worse scaring, which I find beautiful. I do know other people don't feel the same so feel it fair to warn them!
My father had the same on his toes.
I don't know if you noticed my scars when we met this week but I am really not aware of them these days and just wear what I want.0 -
My husband know about most of you..over the last six months I have told him about you and things that happen to you, what you say and do. He asks after those of you I express concern about when life is hard.
He is a bit non plussed that I told you of his creosote damage, he is a more private person than I am, and perhaps I should not be so free with 'his' news.
He does get that this is a valid way of making and building friendships and was very happy i was meeting up this week.
We recently went through Kermie's circumcision as a group, and you know several of the nice men are Jewish........
Really, he'd got off rather lightly. I'm warning you, if you ask fir to take his shorts off I'm not promising he won't.0 -

Its the best way to be. Very few people notice ones own scars, if they do its rarely negative to normal surgery scars. Burns like siblings, or big things can be a little 'shocking' to some. I always loved my siblings body because I thought it was beautifully special. I didn't really realise that one of the gifts my parents gave us was not feeling that miserable about things like that. My sibling achieved great things with that body really. Pregnancy with extensive grafts is even somewhat not easy, but posed no issue no raised any complaint and sibling always wore bikinis. Things like self consciousness over the in changeable were just not acceptable in our family, and I remain proud of sibling and our mother for that. 0 -

I was told off by DW for mentioning something here that seemed quite harmless to me but she thought was private. So, I can see that our partners are aware of this group but might feel slightly uncomfortable with some of the things being discussed.
"OH and I have what he describes as a "winner takes it all" life insurance policy, which pays out on the first death out of the two of us and then ceases to exist."
Whilst this is accurate and succinct, I am not sure I share his sense of humour concerning the word winner. We have been clearing MIL's house out, and it's all a bit grim. So many things that she used are just being discarded as worthless. Indeed, they are objectively (how much am I bid for this used egg whisk?), but it still hurts DW.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
What happens if you both pop your clogs at the same time? Is it the younger one's estate that wins?
Yes. If a number of people die at the same time, or the order is unknowable (such as a multi-fatality plane or car crash) they are presumed to have died in age order. You need to have some rule about it, for probate, for example.
You can write a policy to say anything you want, though. You could, for example, say it covered the first person to die, unless both died within 48 hours of each other, in which case X was presumed to be the first person to die.
It is one of a number of legal presumptions. They are all rebuttable presumptions - so if there is no evidence about it one way or the other you start with the rebuttable presumption. They are almost all common law rules in this country.
So, for example, if OH and I died in the same train crash, and were both dead when found, I would be presumed to have died first in law, being older than him.
If, however, OH is discovered dead and I'm breathing my last as the rescuers turn up, there is evidence to rebut the presumption, so OH would be held to have died first.
Other rebuttable presumptions include, for example, that a couple who live together and hold themselves out to be a married couple are married in law, that a child of a married woman is her husband's child, that a legal marriage is a genuine and subsisting relationship, that a person accused of a crime is innocent, etc.My father had the same on his toes.

I didn't notice your scars either time we met. In fact, I'm not sure where they were to notice!Whilst this is accurate and succinct, I am not sure I share his sense of humour concerning the word winner.

I'm sorry to have upset you about it....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
I tried making dolce de lecche in the Thermomix today. Disaster, utter disaster. It was terrible. I had a litre of boiling milk sprayed across my kitchen.:mad:0

It is heart-breaking, but what can you do. While there's room for some things, you can't take everything lock, stock and barrel and recreate the home in your own garden shed, nor realistically use most of the stuff.
So long as you retrieve some small momentos it helps. But there will always be those things you wish you'd been able to keep, but weren't able to for a variety of reasons.
It's soul-destroying as you touch/move each item and know that they were the last person to see/touch it, or that they had, one day, specially chosen that item - and then there are the memories of them with it. Tough times.0 -

Do you remember what colour Spirit was wearing? Or LIR? Or me? Or Kermie?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0
