Morning all.

Catherine.......So sorry to read of your brother. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Maddie, Keep up the good nursing work. Kevin will be loving it I bet. Pity he can't take the Ibuprofen, I tried a few things and have found them the best. Have you tried an Infra Red heat lamp ? Has he ever had Cortizone injections to his knees?

Marilyn, I will probably need an Official Wine Taster. You up for it ?

Hope all the rest of the Friendly Thread are ok. Certainly had a good dose of troubles recently.

Weather here is dark, damp and miserable.

Keep well, keep safe.

Catch you later

Oh I'm so sorry to hear about your brother Cath, I've lit a candle for him. It's very hard to watch someone you love suffer like that. And his young age makes it seem much worse. It's very sad, I hope he manages to fight the infection off.

My heart goes out to you.

Maddie, I've had those Cortisone injections and sometimes they do help. I can't take Ibuprofen so the doctor gives me Diclofenac tablets, they help a bit. What does the doctor give to Kevin?

This horrible damp weather will soon come to an end and that will probably be the best thing to ease his pain.

Hi Pauline,

Thread is beginning to read like a Doctors Consultancy. ROFL

If we don't get better soon they will send in a Vet. Well they shoot horse don't they.

How is Brent ?

Forgot to say morning to everyone.

Hi Stephen, he's fine thanks.

We have had a lot of health problems on this thread lately haven't we?

I hope things start to pick up for everyone soon.

Stephen, how can Marilyn be the wine taster as well as the mistress? She might drop the whip if she gets a bit tight.

I'll be the wine taster, at least I won't have to fight Mo for that job.......... she doesn't drink.

Catherine I am sorry to hear about your brother I will say aprayer for him.

well here is another who needs the doctors advice.?
I have been on some tablets one of the doctors gave me 16 days ago, I started feeling dizzy, then had a dry throat could not stop drinking water then I got panic attachs and I told you about my tinitus. last night I felt like poping my clogs. I felt really bad. so I read the sheet that goes with my tablets and it gave a list f things to watch for of course I had 5 of them. and it looks like I should not have gone on these tablets. so I am stop talking them. I visited the chemist this morning and told her. I said I get paniuc attacks and my heart thumps I am not sleeping she told me to leave the tablets off and to see my doctor on Monday and tell her.
My son said you dont look well Mum I said I seem to have been given the wrong tablets.
why is it when these things happen its on a friday or weekend when there are no doctors you can speak too.

I was so cold when I went out. I only needed to go to the chemist and then great a loaf of bread.

dont forget pancake day this tuesday.

Marilyn did you know that Rocket you saw being launched didnt make it to the orbit


Rita

Rita,
You are not supposed to be unwell at a weekend. I had to go to the Hospital a couple of weeks ago, my right eye, the one I'm going blind in, was giving me problems. As it was the weekend I could not get in contact with my Doctor. What a bloody hassle that was. Generally I can handle my own problems and don't visit a Doctor unless it's essential.
Not sleeping is going to make you feel a whole lot worse.

Pauline,
If Marilyn is going to be my Mistress it would be better for her if she was drunk........Have you seen how ugly I am ?

Catherine,
Hope you get some positive news soon.

Has Dermot gone Walkabout ?

Jean,
Still nothing positive yet for you on Hugh Owen.

HELP !

Does anyone remember the name of the ship in Mutiny on the Bounty ?

Hello all.

PMSL Stephen.....I'll certainly need to get drunk in order to be any kind of a mistress !

Got my sister here today as its only 7-30 am and I have to do my power walk first.

She rents up in Tampa two hour drive from me, but she has to see her twin ,and cant stay away from me .!! LOL

So I might be back later when I have time....

Thanks for the breakfast Stevey....

EDIT....

* Mutineer* ?

Stephen,

are you goshing us? I think you are.

Tuts.

what was the name of the ship called in Mutiny on the Bounty?

I dunno, whatever next.

Whatever happened to Baby Jane?
pmsl

Stephen I bet you like me wished you had felt in need of a doctor on thursday or friday morning. what a hasell it all is.
is it a cattract you have Stephen ? I have early stages of one. my sister has retna which plays up now and again.she sufferes terrible migrains.

Marilyn is your sister near Tampa Bay ? my son John went out there for his firm about 30 years ago, he worked at Tampa Bay Bank they spolied him gave him a new flat he use to watched the crocks come out and wander around . they gave him a speed boat to use and a new car.
It was the time the Bridge broke up I think it was an earthquake. I phoned to find out if he was alright as Many cars went down.
he was under contract for 18 month they wanted him to stay when the time was up. but he wanted to come home. they offered to pay for me to fly out three times a year to visit. He sent some lovely photos home of the Rodeo shows and his speed boat and flat, met a nice girl out there Rich as well she use to phone him nearly every night when he came home.

Rita.

Afternoon all

Catherine Sorry to hear about your brother, sending positive thoughts to you and him.

Rita Hope you are feeling better now that you've stopped the tablets.

Mo, I've been colouring my hair for a few years, I started going grey in my twenties.
I'm out this evening with friends from the shop where I work part time, one of them is retirering. We're going to F and B so I wont be leaving a tip if we get a service charge,

x

Hi Rita,

Actually my sister is at St Pete' s but her airport is Tampa.
I only know it by travelling through it to visits my sister. but I do know the bridge you are talking about Rita.

I'm just waiting for her arrival, she is with her Hubby so we should have a good day today. except for dinner time as her hubby only likes English traditional food and I'm doing a roast !! HELP !!!!!.
mind you I could do with a nice roast potato myself ..LOL

Got a apple pie in the oven and all the fans on to cool the cooking down,as I dont want the air con on because you have to have all windows & doors closed and I want them all open ......

must go .........have a good day ya all ...

Tomorrow’s News Today (Part 3).

Local councils will employ random ‘sniffer wardens’ who will target smokers in company cars particularly during ‘no smoke week‘. In addition, cars stopped by police for any reason will be checked inside for signs of smoking such as overflowing ashtrays. You have been warned.

Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, is to declare that his ‘bestest friend in the whole world’ is Archbishop of Westminster, the Most Rev Vincent Nichols, despite the latter nicking some of the formers’ congregation. Never have the two faiths been so closely connected since King Henry VIII. Vincent Nichols has offered to help out at the forthcoming Royal wedding & is awaiting his official invitation.

Queen Elizabeth’s visit to Ireland, the first to Dublin by a reigning British monarch for more than 100 years, is expected to take place over three days in May. No doubt she might pick up a point or two about cricket.

Co-incidentally, starting on Monday 7th March, BBC2 will be showing a programme entitled ‘ Royal Upstairs Downstairs’ which will reveal the extraordinary lengths the gentry went to when Queen Victoria decided she was going to pay a visit. This will provide avid viewing for the Irish Government in preparation for Queen Elizabeth’s stay.

Newly elected Louth TD, former Westminster MP & Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams said the visit is a bit premature. Would another 100 year delay suit you, Mr Adams?

Prince Andrew may accompany Her Majesty. As his current employment is likely to come to an abrupt end shortly, he has offered his services to the Dublin Government to renegotiate, for a fee of course, the terms of the Irish bail-out loan. He claims to know a few multi-billionaires. How very opportune!

Conservative head office will write to the few newly elected MPs advising them that cronyism is dead & nominations of their family members for city and political positions, which have come available following the election, would not be welcome. Rumours that existing MPs married to other MPs should seek a divorce are denied.

Reading does not appear to be a national accomplishment in schools anymore. Nevertheless, the Government is about to give away over one million books free to the general public. Look out for an increase in the number of books being donated to your local charity shops who will attempt to sell them for about 50p each. War & Peace for 50p - a real bargain, don’t you think? At least some financial benefit will come out of this exercise. Who knows - some books might be read too.

‘British At Work’ - a TV programme being re-broadcast soon. Ideal viewing for those who like a bit of nostalgia.

Afternoon all,
very many thanks for your prayers, positive thoughts and kind wishes.
Have been to visit him this afternoon and although still very poorly has at least managed some water and liquid antibiotics, his temperature has come down to 39.5. I hate to see him suffering so much, MS has robbed him of a life since he was diagnosed at 23 and he has been paralysed from neck down for 10 years now. He is one of lifes lovely people and never once have I heard him utter "why me".

I hope you are all well and Rita I hope doctor can sort out your medication for you. Will catch up with all postings tomorrow when I'm not so tired.
Love to you all,


Cath xxx

Oh Cath, I am so sorry to hear about your brother being so unwell. God willing, now that they have managed to get some liquid anti-biotics into him, he will quickly improve.
It's such a worry for the whole family,at times like this.

Maddie I hope Kevin is feeling a little better today.
I suppose this little grey haired lady, of 93, will walk into the meet with her head scarf on. Is that how we are all going to know it's you.
Thank god we have seen a photo of you, or we would walk past you in the street, looking for a poor wee woman with grey hair and wearing nothing but a daffodil.

Yvonne, I hope you have a better meal than we had at F+B's. You will enjoy yourself anyway, especially if someone has a birthday, and they dim the lights to sing a happy birthday to them. The night we were there, the lights were of, more than on, and half the time we couldn't see what we were eating. lol

Pauline, Marilyn likes her G+T's, so you will have to be the wine taster. Plus she lurves her whip, they dont call her Miss Whiplash the second for nothing dont ya know. Poor Pete, people think he's got sunburn, but it's not that, it's where our Marilyn has got so carried away, she's taken the skin of his back. lol Mwah loves ya Maz,you know i'm only kidding.

Rita, thank goodness you realised it was your tablets causing your problems.
Sometimes I don't think doctors look at our records, to know what we should or should not be taking.
I know that my doctor has got my records in front of her, on the computer screen, but she still asks me what I am allergic to, if only she looked at her screen she would know.

It's been a lovely day here in Kent, but it has just started to rain. Oh well we can't have everything can we.

We have finished decorating the lounge and dining room now, thank the lord, but we have still got the kitchen to tackle yet. But that can wait till next week, we intend to take it easy tomorrow.

How was your roast dinner Marilyn, did you enjoy your roast tatties.

No Shelly today yet then I see.

Good Evening,

Well I have had a productive day. Been shopping, taken Charlie for a long walk, done the finish of my sewing, cooked twice, and fell asleep in the chair. Oh dear, losing it slowly. lol

Cath, hope your brother is improving. Rita, trust you are feeling better now the tablets are sorted.

Mo. Please believe me, I am white. The photo you have is about 6 years old. I may not be 93, but I am white. lol

Saying that, I don't know what you look like. I could not download your piccies. We will all know each other my instinct.

The haunted look, the cross eyes from looking at certificates, and the pen behind the ears. We will know each other I am sure. pmsl

Just orft to cook me pasta.

take care everyone.
