[Gez]

Peat-Loaf on Friday!!

[Keab42]

mmmmm food

[Ageing Bat]

Thought for the day .......


There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

[Ageing Bat]

Subject: IQ test

Here's a one question IQ test to help you decide how you should spend the rest of your day.... There is a mute who wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth, he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper, and the purchase is done. Now - if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself? Think about it before scrolling down for the answer...

v
v
v
v

He opens his mouth and says, "I would like to buy a pair of sunglasses." If you got this wrong - please turn off your computer and call it a day. I've got mine shutting down right now...

[Skeleton]

My tummyaches.. :( Thank God it´s Friday.. I can sleep longer..

I´ve been thinking.. I become old.. Last Monday I went to sleep 9.30 p.m!
That was the first time for 10 years I went to bed after 9.. Normally I go to sleep at 11 p.m... I really become old.. :lol:

[Hypnobabe]

I went out and bought a motorbike today..... I can pick it up next Monday (6th Feb) and I can't wait!!!!!!

[dottie]

wondering if my overtime from the period 2003 until now has finally been sorted, otherwise I'll be sorting someone else out:evil:

[georgy7856]

Why have i made my life so difficult now because i didnt speak up and say the truth 30 years ago? :( Makes it very hard to do so now:roll:

[Skeleton]

Why have i made my life so difficult now because i didnt speak up and say the truth 30 years ago? :( Makes it very hard to do so now:roll:

You really have to tell the truth.. I never lies.. It´s hard to believe but it´s true.. Maybe sometimes I tell white lies but only when I need to save someone´s a**.. Or mine.. :lol:

It´s never too late to tell the truth..

[Ageing Bat]

Why is it that disasters seem to happen when you're about to go on holiday?

Going down to Addlestone next week, to view and copy my childhood files, also I will have a social worker who will hopefully be able to answer any questions I might have...

And yes I have plenty of those!

[Bren]

Wonderful.... except for the embarrassing incident yesterday where I tried to go and fill up at the petrol station only to discover I didn't have the knack of getting it on the central stand and had to spend 5 shameful minutes trying only to turn round and go home again....... :oops:

[Gez]

[Leah]

What an unbelievable day have attended the Runnymede Centre in Addlestone where my childhood care records were held in the archives....

Masses of information and reports regarding myself, my sister, my brother, my parents and foster parents, and children homes that we livedi n for periods of time.

All are going to be copied and sent to me, plus some original paper work written by my father, which the case worker has agreed to let me have the originals!!!!

Found some distressing news as well, evidently had another baby sister who died when she was 28 days old from pneunomia, and we weren't ever told about this ......

Also found evidence that my mother who deserted us when I was 2 years old was certified as mentally deficient and suffering a severe form of epelipsy, and gave us up because she couldn't cope.........

Such happiness and such sadness, but now I can move forward, I also have the forms for the Salvation Army Tracing service, which I can use some of the information when it arrives to help me trace our mothers movements, and ascertain whether she is dead or alive.....

So glad that at last I have some answers.......

Its been worth the wait, and will give me the impetus to go on..........

love dottie

[dottie]

found this and thought it was appropriate considering I am now starting on a voyage of discovery........



Foster children move from place to place,
With memories that walk the night alone,
Nor is the love theirs that they must embrace.

Yet most survive with a peculiar grace,
Even though their hearts should turn to stone,
As they move about from place to place.

Perhaps within themselves they find a place,
To furnish as they would a mobile home,
Finding scraps of things they can embrace.

A memory like some such fingered lace,
Thoughts and dreams that only they have known,
Moving as they do from place to place.

Their childhood impossible to trace,
In the years of yearning after they have grown,
Filled with love they've chosen to embrace.

Yet with their losses etched upon their face,
Pain for which no penance can atone,
How can they move and move, from place to place
Surrending the love they must embrace.

two of these lines I found to be so relevant

"Their childhood impossible to trace,
In the years of yearning after they have grown"

One could possibly argue - better late than never, to find a childhood lost so long ago........
__________________

My quest for answers has now well and truly started to unfold, happiness and sadness in fair proportions, but ultimately a link to the past so that I may move forward.........

[Rockette]

Just found this one by Peggie Kirkland and thought of Dottie's voyage.

The expansive oceans of our lives
Are filled with seas of experiences
Trifling, important, lively, boring
Calming, frightening, safe and treacherous
But always learning and growing, growing and learning

Rock me gentle sea
Cradle me in the bosom of your tiny ripples
Let me feel at one with your seeming
Ending-never, peace and serenity
As I make my way through this day
Happy, unaware of the impending storms;
There is only peace, gentle peace

But did I speak too quickly?
What is this turbulence that has erupted?
Oh please, not now
I am, was, at one with you
Oh no, the ship of my life has tilted to one side
I think it's going to capsize
I feel it heaving with the waves
As they whip themselves into a fury
Determined to prove their omnipotence
And I one sailor trying to navigate the choppy waters
But I cannot do this alone.
I make a conscious effort to inhale the salty air
Slowly, slowly. slowly, slowly
My body goes limp and
I release the wheel and cover the compass

I realize that the direction of this ship
Is not in my hands.
I let go and let the Divine Creator take charge
And I awake yawning, stretching, rubbing my eyes
As I behold a glorious new day.

[dottie]

spoke to my sister in Oz ,last night, and she informed me that she had known oh so many things that had happened to us, but wanted to hide them away, for fear of being hurt again, I've explained that this is something I need to do to for one, to find the burial place of my little baby sister who I never knew, find her name and leave some sort of token.

To trace my mother again, my sister informed me that she had had contact with her although fleeting so many years ago, why I don't understand didn't someone think that I might want to know?

Still I'm on the right course now, and will continue my quest no matter where it leads, with or without help from anyone around me.....

[Ankie]

Thinking of you, Dottie.


Love and hugs,
Ankie Xxx

[Hypnobabe]

Dottie, wishing you much luck with your search, hope you find everything you're looking for and it turns out to be much more than you hoped it would be x

[Chris]

I can't wait until i get to see her on Sunday - got a bottle of champagne and am torn between a few red roses or a mix of red and white ones!!

I think we need to rework the lyrics to a Meat song : "All loved up and 2 days to go"

[Ageing Bat]

Don't ever mix red & white roses Chris - very bad luck. Symbolises blood on bandages....... well, so my gran says!

[Chris]

You're right Sarah - I'll stick to just white for good old Yorkshire

I can't wait until i get to see her on Sunday - got a bottle of champagne and am torn between a few red roses or a mix of red and white ones!!

Oh definitely red roses Chris, (my favourite too), and a nice bottle of champers , just right to toast the start of something big!!!!!!!!!

I think we need to rework the lyrics to a Meat song : "All loved up and 2 days to go"

Hows about "I going to love her for both of us"? very apt!!!!

Have to phone a hospital at newcastle on monday and beg them to get me an appointment at least in the next three weeks cos part of my brace is loose and I'm going on the holiday of a lifetime the beginning of next month and I don't want it ruined by not being able to eat properly and feeling uncomfortable and my orthodondist is in huge demand at that hospital so I'll be lucky to get in at all!!!!!!!!!:cry:
I'll just have to tell them it's a mega emergency, talk funny and cry down the phone!:roll:

If someone wanted something kept secret then they shouldn't have said anything in the first place. The fact that several people apparently know this secret already, disqualifies it from being a secret and falls into the gossip category.

Sorry Pud, that was a whimsical thought only. And a badly worded one at that. :lol:

But, I take your point. It does make it gossip at that point, doesn't it? :lol:

I'm actually from Yorkshire, hence the Pud/Pudding name;) and moved to New Zealand over 6 years ago. However, if you're wanting a typical kiwi joke, here goes:

Two sheep herders are flying the herd to a new farm. Suddenly, the
engine fails and the plane begins to fall quickly to the ground.

SH1: Quick! Grab a parachute and jump!

SH2: What about the sheep ?!?

SH1: ~~~~ the sheep !!!!

And if it's NON-STICK stuff, how do they get in on the frying pans?


[smug "know it all look"]
Manufacturers textured a pan by blasting its surface with grit, gouging little pits in the aluminum, or by spraying the cookware with a micro-lumpy ceramic coating or
stainless steel, which formed mini-mountains as it hardened.


These textures gave the long, slippery non-stick molecules much more to brace themselves against. And when the non-stick wore off the peaks of the mini-mountains and micro-lumps there was still enough clinging to the slopes and valleys to keep the flapjacks flipping. Sort of.
Trouble was these methods didn't hold up very well under normal household use, leading to a chorus of feminine voices across thew world, singing out in harmony, "TOUCH THAT FORK TO THAT PAN AND YOU'RE A DEAD MAN."

The bottom line was that the non-stick didn't stick to the pan long enough. So, back to the drawing board.

The basic non-stick molecule is a polymer, or chain, of fluorine atoms and additives such as carbon and hydrogen. The longer this chain, the tougher it is; but a molecule that's too long gets viscous and hard to handle.

To move beyond mere mechanics, the frying-pan engineers added a sticky molecule to the non-stick molecule. Non-stick was now applied in coats, with the bottom coat containing the sticky additive that held to both the metal pan and the non-stick molecules. A coat of non-sticky non-stick went over that, non-stick and non-stick clinging together lovingly. A final non-stick layer, spiked with teensy bits of ceramic or other tougheners, protected the softer guts.

[L96]

I should go to bed and to sleep.

It's 11pm (nearly), I have Meat playing semi quiet, my broken neck and broken arm hurt, and I need to be awake to get my husband and me to work in 5 hours.

There is bourbon left in the bottle, and Meat left to play, and not enough time to sleep in.

Those are my thoughts.

You asked.

:D

Nyah. I'm with you, Chris.

Have you thought of anything interesting?

[Chris]

Nyah. I'm with you, Chris.

Have you thought of anything interesting?

Yes but I am too scared to act on it for fear it might go pear shaped.
I need to think some more. :?

[L96]

You only live once.

Mortality is limited.

What is the worst that can happen?

What is the best that can happen?

Life is a tradeoff: anything and everything you do is a trade in for something else.

If the worst is bearable and the best is incredible, and the loss compares favourably, what have you got to lose??

[Chris]

I think you may be right.

It's time to grasp the bull by the horns!

[L96]

So I see.... :shock:

Good luck with it. :D

[DIZZY DRUMMER]

I'm Bored :tard:

[dottie]

' very very happy, Kaz (daughter) and Lee's little baby boy has arrived 6/7 weeks early weighing in at 3lb 15ozs, but very healthy apart from being small... what a pair of lungs he has on him...

He was born by emergency-C-section today after Karen had been in and out of hospital with pre-eclampsia which had worsened dramatically this today...

The angels were certainly looking over all of them today....

A trickle of smoke rose from the back, and there was a smell of burning plastic!! It was scary at the time, but it's funny now!
