They shouldn't be held responsible, then *tearful smiley*

I just started using Opera for this forum and the smilies don't work unless I type them in myself, I presume ???

But I only know a few

This was supposed to be on the SD thread not a clue how it jumped on here

I like wood wasps they are BIG and look real mean but they dont sting.

[jimmybat]

I am so surprised that you say the females are the only ones with stings in their tails and get drunk by eating rotten fruit lol

Sounds like a date i once went out on

I'm here but I haven't contributed to any threads because I've worn myself out trying to install Linux on a spare drive, and failing.

So I'm off to sleep now, back later.

I've sort of been here but not here myself Scylla.

Had a very mixed emotions day yesterday. Found one neighbours cat that had been missing for a week locked in another neighbours shed. Long story (as short as possible) I checked the neighbours shed as they went away yesterday & I was looking after their own cat. Don't know what made me do it as they had already had a note through their door asking them to check all sheds & outhouses.(plus me talking to them about the missing cat). Complete joy to find him & reunite him with his tearful owners

Got back home feeling so happy & few minutes later the phone rang. An old friend, letting me know that that another ex-boyfriend had died He crashed his motorbike due to a heart attack He was only 57 but a very heavy smoker

awww...sorry
to hear that Chrissie....xx

found a patient the other night...dead, well gone, rigor already set in, but still had to put a call out....

way to late to resuscitate but wot about your friend? i think everyone should be trained in it, the first few minutes are the difference between life and death in a cardiac incident...

[Scylla]

{{{Chrissie}}} I'm so sorry you've had yet more bad news of close friends.

A small comfort is that you brought relief and joy to someone today

Thinking of you,

scylla x

Thanks Lilac & Scylla.

[lolli]

Sorry to hear that ((((Chrissie))))
How very sad, & he was way way too young to die.
Maybe it helps to think though, that we all die sometime of something &, as someone who has always loved & ridden bikes, maybe he'd be content with how he went - no protracted suffering & doing something he really loved.
Terribly sad for those left behind.
Deepest sympathy.

[Chrissie]

Thanks Lolli

You are right, he was doing something he loved & as you say there was no protracted suffering.

I may have been very naughty, not 5 minutes ago

I've ordered a 42" Panasonic Plasma TV

It's not my fault really - I've got this Co-op Visa "Think" credit card which would save the rain forests if I used it, but they were about to reduce the credit limit to almost nothing because I'd never used it... so I had to really, for the sake of the planet

Also, Co-op Electrical had last year's model, which is better than this year's, and they "deliver it to the room of your choice" (their system didn't ask about my stairs ) and unpack it for you.

So I didn't have any choice in the matter really

Still haven't had the clear-out and new bed though
