Been asleep for most of the past couple of days, so I'm catching up and noticed this:

We've decided to play it by ear while she's here. The ball will be in his court - she's laid down her conditions for any further discussions with him. We don't think he's up to the job, so we'll see. He's probably going to be angry at first, and then threaten suicide and all sorts of other nasty things. Once the dust has settled, we'll decide on the road ahead.

One day at a time, I guess :H

Tips, sorry to be so gloomy, but something similarish happened in my family a long time back. My elderly grandfather went away on holiday for a couple of weeks and he returned home to find that my grandmother had vacated their retirement flat with the help of one of her daughters. The police eventually found my grandfather in the woods a few weeks later, hanging from a tree. Might it not be an idea to have someone be there when your father gets home to make sure he is ok?

I must admit, I've just been thinking about Tipps and his Ma but you make a really good point there...

I was 13 at the time, zenny. It's in the distant past for me, but I wouldn't like tips and his family to have to experience anything like that.

Hiya Zen Satz and Reccy.
How awful for the family Recluse.
Suicide is such a horrible/tragic thing for all the people left behind.
Zen I also go to the flicks,theatre and the odd concert in between running, hiking and eating enormous meals!

Hello Mrs A and pingu

You can grow up and be like me if you can give me literacy lessons and maybe some computer skills

I must admit I surprise myself that I set out to do make up for lost time and now I am doing stuff I never could have imagined. How lucky am I?:new:

Back from Bakewell on Tuesday night after 2 lovely days. Yes Mr A was there as well as 2 friends. They had a bottle of wine between 3 of them which lasted 2 days.
We walked 18 miles on day 1 and about 5 on Tuesday. End of report-----

Well, you're definitely making up for lost time, Mrs A. More than, I'd say. Actually, I reckon Mr A and your friends did pretty well with keeping up with you for 18 miles.

Nothing wrong with your lliteracy skills that I can see, whizzy, or your computer skills for that matter!

You are doing FANTASTIC Anon, it is nothing short of a miracle how life changes when you didtch the booze, I am a different person in mind, body, spirit and attitude than I was a few years back.
I feel like a whole person now whereas before, I was living a kinda half life.

I totally agree with Reccies advice for Tipps.

I have not sat down all day, have been running around like a badger with it's arse on fire.

Looking forward to lighting the fire in a bit and relaxing for the evening.

Thank you Oney. Are you better now? I have never seen a badger with its bum on fire??

I am feeling a lot better, I think it could have been all the sickness in the house with the kids for so long and it all just caught up with me and I got run down

With the risk of sounding boring I am off for an 8 mile run along the Mersey with a group of 25 year olds

They talk about their love lives, make up, periods and the lads talk about football and drinking.

All the time they are so defferential (sp?) to whizzy as they think I have led such a sober and sensible life. I might just explode the myth tonight.

Love the wine part. Mr. Stirly has one glass with his mid-day meal and sometimes only drinks half of it.

I agree with what Reccie said, too about Tips' father.

Oney - I gather you're feeling much better today. So glad to hear that. You had us worried. :huggy

Reccie, I'm so sorry that you and your family had to go through that. I've known people who have committed suicide, not members of family, but acquaintances. The anguish and hurt they leave behind is so terrible for the others. So many unanswered questions, so many what-ifs.

And a huge :hello2:to all of you and to all who drop by later!!
