1. I was told that staying permanently logged into sites may put you at risk of being hacked.
2. People might think I am around when I'm not. That's particularly poignant on one thread where people sometimes need help in the middle of the night, and them seeing some green lights might think that someone might be there to talk to, and then wonder why you don't respond.
3. It's just a strange thing that I thought I'd share with you!
One of life's little mysteries that sometimes somebody has a simple solution for!
But of absolutely no consequence in the grand scheme of things, like most of the stuff I witter on about! :rotfl:

Pastures I know it's not your job, as it were, but could you put the bag into the bin? The bin men won't have known the neighbour's moved out. As you say, if it's left out it'll probably be "opened" by gulls and/or foxes.0

Oh deep joy, I have shingles.We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

Oh no! So sorry to hear that Sue. Hope your boys are looking after you. Sending thoughts and hugs and prayers.Oh deep joy, I have shingles.

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.

They're taking my "I really don't feel at all well and I am in lots of pain" comments much more seriously now it has been confirmed..We made it!

New neighbours at some unknown future point. It's "let" from a looking online point of view, but the last lot only vacated on Monday of this week.
I'm almost entirely alone here now.
New builds in one direction ...
Holiday home, then a void in the other direction ....
Two families departed on what looks like camping holidays in the other direction ....
There's no houses in the 4th direction/never have been.
So from a total of 23 dwellings, only 9 are occupied today ... and all the empty ones are surrounding ME! It looks like there's something wrong with me
Speaking of which, is it nice and peaceful with so many people away?
It's an ill wind, if so!
Ooh that's rough.Oh deep joy, I have shingles.

This summer I am trying to take advantage of my long teacher holiday to do something about my house. I am doing all right with most of it, but really struggling for design ideas for the dining room, and wonder if you NP can come up with any suggestions. To complicate matters, while I've had things all my own way in the living room, I've agreed that choices for the dining room are to be negotiated between all 3 of us - which basically means DD and me, with DS not really minding much.
The room is dominated by a lot of dark wood - the large dining table is pretending to be mahogany, as are the legs and backs of the dining chairs, while the bureau that's probably coming from my dad's house probably actually is mahogany, and the stairs (open treaded) are a dark reddish wood too, although I don't know what kind. The curtains and the seats of the chairs are blue, and in good condition so I don't want the expense of changing them.
It has a large south facing window making one end of it light and bright, while the other end is over shadowed by the stairs and very dark. The current paint colour on the walls is pale, but whether it's pale green or pale yellow depends on which bit of it you look at - the lighting conditions vary so much from place to place in the room. The carpet is a very cheap plain pale beige that's badly worn and grimy, especially in the high traffic area where you come in from the hallway on the way to anywhere else in the house.
The room looks boring and unloved. I know it'll look a lot better when the horrible carpet's replaced and there are some pictures up, but I'm stuck over paint colours. DD suggests blue, to go with the chairs and curtains. We've tried out various pale blues on the walls, but they all look too cold to me. A friend suggested cream walls with blue carpet, which I think would be fine but DD feels is boring. What would the NP suggest we consider next as we try to find something we're both happy with???Do you know anyone who's bereaved?
