There was a case in a Johannesburg Hospital's ICU, where patients always died in the same bed, every Sunday morning at 11am regardless of their medical condition.

This puzzled the doctors and some even thought that particular bed was the work of the Devil as to why the deaths at 11am on Sunday mornings?

A world-wide team of experts were constituted and they decided to go to the ward to investigate the cause of the incidents.

So on the next Sunday morning, a few minutes before 11am, all doctors and nurses nervously waited outside the ward to see for themselves what the terrible phenomenon was all about. Some were holding wooden crosses, prayer books and other holy objects to ward off any evil spirits.

Just then the clock struck 11 and Precious Tshabalala walked in (part-time cleaner) unplugged the life support machine and plugged in the vacuum cleaner.

Morning I did get to sleep last night I took a pill and woke at 5 to go to the loo and back to bed slep till 6. 30.
I am trying not to think of this noise one ear is Ok it is the other that is now causing the problem.

I was sitting having a cup of tea this morning watching those poor people in Japan they have had everything thrown at them. now they have snow in places quiet heavy as well and then they have this nuclear trouble. it is alright for these heads of the countries to say your safe one minuite then admit your not the next.
all that, excaped and is floating above in the air. so everyone gets affected.

thats put a damper on things.

Hope all you lady have a good weekend is someone going to take a photo to show us, for us that cannot go. ?

Morning folks,
Rita glad you managed to get some sleep at last.
Shelly I don;t usually go to bed too late as I have to be up at 6. Last night I had a thumping headache so went a bit earlier. Taken this morning off work as it was still lingering a little. Feel ok now though.
Hope everyone is well and warm, its a good bit colder here today and quite foggy so I suppose that means no newspapers and post!
Enjoy your day,

Yvonne, hope you are alright.

Afternoon all

Rita pleased you had a better night, My FiL is having problems with his ears at the moment, nurse at surgery has told him to put a drop of warm olive oil in for a week then he's got to have them syringed, he's deaf as a post anyway and should wear hearing aids but doesn't.
We will take lots of photos on Saturday and send them to you.
It would be nice to arrange a little 'friendly' visit to you and have tea and a chat, what does everyone else think?

MiL still holding on, doctor saw her Monday and gave painkillers and something to settle her stomach, he thinks she's picked up a bug,

(MiL and FiL are divorced, in case you were confused)

Sorry to read about your friend Stephen, such a shame


foggy and damp this morning

Yvonne, I hope your MiL, will be o.k, and not in to much pain.

I am looking forward to Saturday, BUT, I had my haircut today, and I think I should have gone to the butchers instead. She has hacked at my hair, and my fringe is really really short, booo hoooo, I feel bald now, the butcher may have made a better job of it.
So I need no mickey taking, on Saturday pleeeeze.

I have had a heck of a job getting onto this site this afternoon, so if you don't see me tonight, you will know why.

Yvonne that is what they said to me and I have been putting the drops in like a good girl but I have had to wait three weeks. one ear is clear the other is still blocked.
I dont know if it will be any better when I have it syringed I hope so.? I have to have a blood test done tomorrow at the surgery to see if I can go down another steriod I started at 10 mg now I am down to 6 mg. I asked the doctor if this was anything to do with my ears being as they are ?she said no.

To day our eatste manager called and said be careful as you go out the main door the meter drain cover has risen even more . I went to have a look and told her it was water that was causing it to raise and the Water company should come and see to it.. it was standing right up. she phoned and came and said they will be here within four hours they arrived two large vans and got to work after two hours we had red and white boards all around the meters outside the main doors and holes dug and metal boards put across them so we old ones would not fall down. they lower a large pipe and when the Estate Manager went off to her second job they put the boards around and cleared off home at 2.,30 it amused me. I suppose we will see them back tomorrow drills going and banging about. didnt matter to me as their noise took my mind off mine.

Then I got a call from a solar panel company they were in the aera and would like to come and give me a price to have mine done. I said sorry I am in a retirement flat and they are very small rooms so perhaps you would like to get intouch with the leashold owners. they hung up quickly.

I have had a laugh today.
