    A man and wife went for a walk in a wood. The husband said 'Do you think we could make love?' She'd used the headache excuse too often so she said 'Well no, because the rabbits might be watching'.

      O Georgia  I love it . . The rabbits might be watching.

      ever seen a buck rabbit lying on his back his legs going nineteen to the dozen. If rabbits smiled there would be one from loppy lug to loppy lug. No need to hide from their lascivious eyes.

      I'm going s fast as I can. If you all made them less funny I would catch up sooner.  oh come to think of it, if they were not so funny I would go and watch paint dry. Well, why not, it beats TV.

    I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun.

      How I long to have a get together with my internet friends. We know each other in a way impossible in normal circumstances. We know the person before we get distracted by outward details. We are in that sense a privileged band.

      No offence sweetheart but I hardly ever see anyone at all so grit your teeth and bear it because you're not alone?

      i no hun thats what i am saying ,id rather be alone ,then with people who dont talk to me and who always have earphones in so i spend time talking to them and they cant here me so i have to repeat myself frown
    • Posted

      then there are those with hearing aids constantly asking for repeats, and explanation of the context, and giving you idiotic answers to the questions they thought you asked but hadn't. Life can be rough. I think all of us on the forum know that just too keenly. 

      We love you dear Tiswas. We couldn't do without you.

    • Posted

      There's another thing I can't use, earphones or headphones, they gave me tinitis and headaches. I'd love to be able to use them but electricity pumping directly into my brain I can't take, so I can only listen to music on my speakers till around 10pm because my old lady neighbour goes to bed then.

      Tian, when my son lived with me it was hard to talk to him sometimes when he was playing a game battles or something. He'd say 'Just wait until I've finished this'. 

    • Posted

      I CANT USE headphones either they hurt me iv tried alsorts 

      in /out behind ear all of them hurt feels like i have bruise after about 15 mins .

      hun your not getting what i am saying both arent playing games they are in the front room on ipads and laptops for hours with headphones on ..

    • Posted

      I am getting it lovely sis! Like I said my son was more interested in games than helping me out and I was iller than I am now. I'd have to battle to get him to help me to tidy the kitchen or something but I was the one cooking his tea or trying to, didn't manage it every day. 

      But like George said WE love you and couldn't do without you. I look to see if there's a pm from you every day! razz There should be a love or hug emoticon.

      If I could send you a nicely done steak, how do you like them? By broadband I would. Instead I will share a laugh. I had such a laugh when my Annie showed me her card. (one card from four boys. Mmmm Annie was a very fine mother. Two cards Tiswas? You must have been  mother among the all time greats. Yes Tiswas, I have no doubt you were and are a really great mother - mothers never stop being mothers, bless them all.

      back to the the laugh.

      I know this is just your type of card

      I would love to send you a card too but you are much too young to be my mother, even voluntary mother two

      and I am much too old to be your baby, although I would volunteer like a shot.

      Happy mother's day to you too Tian! razz I didn't know it was mother's day, I never get a card. But at least he phoned to wish me a happy birthday last week so that'll do. I forgot to send my mum a card! Ouch eek Slaps my own face. I usually remember.
    • Posted

      Your pain sounds terrible! sad I've got raging toothache that's driving me to distraction, yet another tooth falling out, at the front too, I'll be gappy but not cute like a child is when they're gappy, old crone type gappy and I can't get to the dentist. lol

      But that must be nothing in comparison to what you're going through. Huggies Wish there was something that could make you feel better.

      It is so difficult to keep up with the days, isn't it. There are still 364 unMothers days in which to express love and each has the greater impact because it is so unexpected. We do not all have to follow Elenor Roosvelt, do we?
    • Posted

      Yes I told her I love her on the phone during the week so I shouldn't feel so guilty because I forgot the card. Did Elenor Roosvelt invent mother's day then?
    • Posted

      No. The Greeks started it by their spring festival honouring Rhea, wife of Cronus. This was followed closely by the Roman spring festival when Hilaria dedicated the holiday to Cybele the mother goddess (about 250 years before Christ was born).

      In the UK dating back to circa 1600 a Mothering Sunday was celebrated annually on the fourth Sunday of Lent (the 40 day period leading up to Easter) to honour mothers (and particularly the Virgin Mary).

      More recently in the USA it's reinvention was attributed  (circa 1872) Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis, however this almost died-out, only to be reintroduced in the US after WW2 to encourage the retail trade.

      Father's day on the other hand is attributed US President Lyndon B. Johnson (circa 1966). It did not become a permanent feature till 1972.

      Wow! Mr Encyclodaedia o gosh the spelling is beyond me, I am impressed . Elenor R. Gave it a firm boost. Pres. R gave us antique destroyers for which we had to pay later. Still he defied Congress and Senate and international neutrality law to do it.
    • Posted

      Pres R. I think charged us through the nose.

      Pity they didn't have to pay the child support for all their offspring they left on our shores.

      But that's history, a bit like the cock-up that we made by attacking intsead supporting all the Brits that settled in that country.

      With some generous forethought and a little common sense it could have been The Union of Great Britain and the Americas.

      So mother's day had been celebrated for most of human history, they may even have celebrated it in the dark age and the stone age, they would have been hit by a club by their mothers if they hadn't! cheesygrin

      attractive is very hard to describe hun i feel like a hugh lump of nothing .

      i joined f/b page born in the 60/70/80s page and someone posted those tight shinney trousers made famous by olivia

      .i used to have a black pair back then , but if i tried to put them on now i would look like a bunch of bananas in a sock .

      that makes me feel dreadful because i know i would be slim if i could do what i want and be active ,its not like iv chossen to be a coach potatoe

      .

      teeth are problem i dread loosing mine because my gums are always tender like everywhere eles so the thought of false ones and the pain cant bare it

      .i hope it eases of soon ,

    • Posted

      i dont think so hun its just the case

      that i am there like an old sofa .

      everyone stands on it sits on it and jumps on it

      but nobody wants it ,

      because its all beat up and useless.

      thats just how i feel .

    • Posted

      Thank you sis, it feels eased at the moment but losing teeth is never easy. And I'm dreading getting false ones too. 

      You say about attractive being hard to define, I agree. Lancelot has only got one eye but to me he's attractive because of his personality.

      And when you say about feeling too big I'm feeling too small because my clothes are fallling off me and I'm having to use safety pins to keep my jeans up. I look terrible and feel like I'm slowly dying!

      Is there a perfect size? I don't think so; it's what we are inside isn't it?

    • Posted

      i would say your perfect size would be about 12 .

      i would like to be a 14 but would be happy at a 16.

      maybe if you get some complain down you it will help you 

      i know you would say i am daft but  ireally do wish my weight would drop off , i dont eat massive amounts but i just cant get about like i used to 

      and i am big boned  not fragile bones i have size 8 feet and large hands even standered reading glasses dont fit my face proberly trust me to take after my granddad rather than my nan who was petite .typical never got any of the good bits

      Three boys are ours. The fourth and oldest was bequeathed by a dying friend. She begged us to look out for him. He did not know that and asked us to be mum4 and dad3. Perfect.

      i have in the past dosent do anything for me .

      i feel this way a lot because i can t understand this world and if i could just go to sleep and never wake up it would suit me just fine .

      i had to phone my bro last night which dosent help because he is always so down . rubs of .

      I'm like a piece of sphagetti, bone wise, arms, legs and I wish I could be a bit more robust looking but I can't. We are what we are and we do the best we can with what we've got yes?

      I must be about a size 10 now and that's ridiculous for a 51 year old woman! It just looks wrong when your flesh is falling off too fast. I did get complan as you suggested and I didn't get any allergic reactions so I'll have another one soon. Thank you sis for suggesting it the other day! razz

      Petite rather than big boned, who decided that? Socially constructed stupid idea?

      i am glad you didnt have any reaction to it  i rather thought you wouldnt because its aimed at people with poor imunity  and appertite .

      but defenatly right checking it out first .dont want to go to mad and then find out it didnt agree with you .

      Sometimes two down people can talk to each other and it takes a while to sink in, what's been said. More than one conversation with him could help and here's the thing, you add a tiny bit of positivity and he'll add a bit back, then you'll add a bit back, then you'll both be on a roll. Oh yeah!

      Oh! I did not know Elenor R was into foundation wear neutral still don't razz
    • Posted

      He was in his 40s. Here's very lively, very kind, very intelligent and very intense. I suspect he has asperges or something very like it. 

      His natural father knew nothing about him until a few years ago.

      He was adopted by dad2. Dad2 dies of brain cancer a few years ago. So I am Dad3. 

      His birth mother gave him away and he was adopted by mum2.

      Mum2 died while he was an infant.

      Dad 2 then married mum3.

      Mum3 died of motor neurone disease about six years ago. She asked us to take her place. She knew he still needed emotional support and so turned to us.

      I had known mum3 since we were infants although entirely unrelated.

      Dad1 did not know he had sired him of Mum1

      dad2 married mum2 : formal adoption

                Married.mum3

      Dad3 married mum4: informal adoption. We look out for him, he looks out for us.

      I hope that helps clarify this unusual arrangement.

      In the middle ages most of the time nobody knew who their mothers were.

      As the nobles hardly ever fancied their own wives, they  took whoever they wanted to roger at the time, usually out out of wedlock, and if male children were born they could be expected to be reared in the service of  the lord (their father) to be brought-up as servants, pages etc. 

      This explains why the male children were not encouraged to know who their real mothers were, so if greetings cards had existed they would have been superfluous anyway. 

      Female children could be left to starve with their natural mothers, so the mortality rate among them was very high.

      So if there were cards available in those days there would have been no money to buy them with, and no people alive to send them to.

      As for the club idea, well I really do believe there is a place for that today, particularly within my own family.

      Bearing in mind that there are cards available in our modern society, my son came round today after I had finished work to ask if we could look after our grandkids (his children) this coming week.

      Was there a mothers day card for his mother? - NO.

      Was there a birthday card for me? - NO.

      Was there a 'please will you'? - NO.

      Just a 'Can you look after the kids on ****day'?

      So maybe you can see were I am coming from when I refer to reindroducing the 'club' idea? cheesygrin

      well george i think  i am with you, poor lad to loose so many people 

      how cruel life is to some people 

      how does he support himself hun

      hope he has you and anne for a long while yet the world is cruel to people with hidden problems .

      they wouldnt say to someone in a wheel chair climb them stairs 

      but someone who suffers internaley with getting the oxygen round or with pain climbing those same stairs gets no allowances made .
