  • Sorry to hear about the fall, hope the maltesers buttons are helping.



    I don't do email notifications either as it just gets too busy - I usually have my subscriptions page left open so just come back to it and see what's showing with bold for new posts.

    Maltesers buttons! What is this wizardry you speak of. :D As long as their magic properties make you feel a little better that's good. xx

    It's User CP for me too, beanie, at the top of every page in the green line. I don't go to the forum without that often enough, but at least I see all my subscriptions, from everything. No email notifications, I'd never stop!


    So awful to hear of you falling like this :( you must be black and blue :(

    Hi Beanie, hope you're fall hasn't left you in too much pain today. Sorry to hear you're struggling in RL as well. If it's something that's solvable I hope it gets sorted soon. Take care and be kind to yourself. xx

    Sorry to hear about your fall beanielou.



    RL seems to be giving a few of us a whipping, but hopefully your issues are solvable with time and support. Thinking of you. x

    Memorial Day had passed me by :( though I paid a great deal of attention to the funerals of the six unknown victims last week. The partner/colleague I often mention is Jewish, and the only member of his family to have been born in Britain - his age group and younger are all over the world, they come from two German Jews who got out in time, but 95% of the family that stayed in Germany died in the camps. Very sobering.

    But beanie, don't let it pull you down - you honour them, as I do, but wrecking your sleep with thinking about it won't achieve anything :kisses3: though that isn't quite the meaning I intended, sorry - its too late to write with clarity about such a topic ... I'd better go. Sleep well.
