burtha said:thank you all .
kids are fine ish, getting through this crazy stuff going on , both at college now, more online as they keep having to isolate .
3mw is still the same, he's seen the kids twice this year about 10 mins in total now . .. but he's driving around in a 60k car . somehow I think his priority's maybe a bit wrongho hum
been a strange few years . due another mri soon , see if anything is going on with the Tumor .. ticking time bomb feeling but that's normal now ..
still running everyday, keeps me sain . ...
so glittery spiders webs , .....
would be good
nice to see everyone's behaving normal around here
xGlad the young ones are ok burtha. Do you know what? You came out of that toxic siuation with your dignity intact. Your loved ones were and remain the prority in your life. I'll never forget you struggling to keep the children warm chopping logs and wood and trying to cope in a wreck of a house.If you think about it there never was anything wonderful about 3MW with his charity runs public face while you and the children cheered him on.Maybe it's time to change his name. In this area we call our MP The Invisible Man. Now that sounds more fitting than 3MW. Karma will catch up with him one day,I hope when you have the MRI things are still ok.The day we're all behaving normally here is the day we might as well give up. We're the OS renegades. Some of us odder than others including those hiding under a vase.Yes keep on running . It got you through very tough times and is good for both your physical and mental wellbeing.Look after you as well as everyone else.pollyxIt is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

Monna you have very eclectic viewing tastes. Judge Judy and now Giant Haystacks.I'm trying to drag myself out of a comfy chair and head to bed. I'll probably dream of the eyes of that bloomin spider. Makes me glad Hadrians Wall exists. You'd need a lot of glitter to decorate a web from that.Night all. Sleep tight.pollyxIt is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

You failed to change the locks or rescue Larry. Hardly 007 are you?Did I ever tell you I used to be very good at the high jump and long jump and could run really fast? Not sure how the creaky joints would. cope but how about I try to jump over the gates and head up the hill with my forensic evidence file.I'd have to arrange for first aiders to be on stand by of course. Oh and the Polis.I laid a patio in the 80s so be careful.pollyx

Quick question. Does anyone know where bookmarked threads are now on the forum?I've just searched for a thread I've posted on from time to time over the years . I found it by entering the title into a search but we used to be able to click on above the forum pages. it is still in my bookmarks but I can't find where to just choose and click on bookmarks.Thanks.pollyxIt is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

No worries burtha. I didn't have much trouble when they changed the site to the Vanilla platform, I asked a couple of questions on site feedback. The main question was how to get rid of constant notifications everytime someone did a post on one of the threads I read. That was solved by Ivyleaf on OS. No response from site feedback.Hope you're on your way to bed. I'm listening to the wind howling, it's been pouring down and blowing a hoolie all day. I'm nice and warm but need to head to bed.Sleep well.pollyx whose just knocked the wrong keys on the laptop.It is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

I don't know Polly, I find the new forum awkward too.

Prolly, if you click on the book icon next to your profile icons all your bookmarks show up. If they don't all show in the layout you can click on all bookmarks at the bottom of the list.
Congrats Bertha. Glad to see everyone is mad as usual on here. The fence section here is now decorated for Halloween ahead of a village pumpkin trail for children.Spend less now, work less later.9
