Pyxis

Code, brilliant idea for that meeting!


Ono, re. your parents, just keep enjoying their company as much as you can. You sound like a lovely son!

Re. your friend, I bet she would appreciate frequent calls/texts/emails form you, even if only to tell her the odd anecdote/funny thing. That way she will know you care, and even if she doesn't respond much, just carry on doing it.
If she hasn't felt that bad before, she's probably totally bewildered herself, and won't know what she does want from you or anyone else, so by regularly making your presence known, you are letting her know that you are there for her.





I am feeling like this today:

I am in a cuddly mood, so if you also look like that pyxis, I will give you a cuddle.

The sun just came out and a butterfly flew past my window.

I just finished the main thing I needed to get done today. Hooray. Still plenty to do, just not so time critical.

Afternoon my lovelies,

massive hugs and squishes to all.

OnO sorry to hear about your friend. keep in contact and just let her know you are there for her.

A day in my own home yay. Some washing on the line.

I am going to be very self centered and go arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! I know its a 1st world problem. But my head is going to explode looking at cars. I have got to the point you could sell me any old rubbish lol!!! :rotfl:

I need a car but its just too stressful trying to buy one. going to sulk in the corner :rotfl:

Hugs and squishes. I am in the fort if anyone wants to come and have a snuggle and watch a film please do join me.

Penguin re chillessness Watching House of Cards and the First Lady is asked if she regrets not having any children. Her reply-: do you regret having children! End penguin

This link is sweary, and very possibly penguiny... but I know that there are a few of us on here who will very much understand what this woman is saying.

If people would rather I remove this just let me know x.

I'm glad you posted it, tea.

I'm a 'fixer' so I would unwittingly upset when I need to learn to keep quiet. I do need to know how to move a conversation on when I didn't get the answer I may have been expecting. (Not that I am expecting people to have children, but if they say no and don't elaborate, I get stuck).

tea_lover

I promise I will get off my high horse about this now (for a while at least ) Hormones are running high and wild :rotfl:.

Lovely to see a few lurkers posting, I hope everyone that's reading and not feeling too great knows how very welcome they always are.

Penguin response to ono - very much know what you mean about parents. It does sometimes seem to hit home that they just won't be there for ever. I'm really close to my parents and sister (however much they wind me up sometimes, they're still my absolute best friends and the best company). We had a great day out last week and after that I had a bit of a moment of worry, as there are quite a lot of health issues for both of them.

Oooh! A Whitewing cuddle!
That is a pearl of great price, and I would love one! Many thanks! :kisses3:

Funnily enough, I saw a butterfly in my front garden, a red admiral I think, at around the same time as you!


Tea, that article made me steam with indignation. The insinuation that if you're not a mother you may not be kind or empathetic or understanding etc. etc. :mad:
What makes me even madder is that so many of these smug mums are also the ones that give their children tooth-rotting drinks in teat bottles or feeder cups, or allow them to choose yucky fast food over nutritious food, or let them run riot in public places with no thought to how other people or neighbours might be affected. :mad:
