Gave it a test run and it’s brilliant, so captivating, you can just sit there staring at it. Gonna get one for myself. It’s like a little tornado that constantly changes colors. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunDon Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) 9 hours ago, Derek Dangleberries said: When my sister next up from me was going through the final stages we did the same. Of course she was on "happy drugs" but the look of joy on her face as she looked around her room was like when a child first sees a Christmas tree .. Sister told me on Friday that the drugs they put her on for lung cancer aren’t working as they should, so they’re going to try another one. Does’nt sound good, although she’s in a good frame of mind at the moment. Life can be a real bitch at times. On the bright side, I’ve been informed that I can’t go on the Muscular Skelitol waiting list as there aren’t any free appointments. 😡 Edited December 4, 2023 by KhunDon 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason for why I retired at 47 was I was traveling too much for the company. I’d already turned down 2 good promotions within the conglomerate I worked for, as it would have meant I’d be in the air on a plane longer than I’d be on the ground some months and I wasn’t going to do that, despite the money. To be fair, the company was extremely good to me and did their best to keep me happy, but when I met my soon to be wife, I made a conscious decision that the time to quit working was very close and by the years end I’d quit for good with a very nice payoff from the company. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krapow Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 On 11/30/2023 at 3:21 AM, KWA said: They offer even shorter connections but I would always go for the longer one as I wnt to get my moneys worth of food and drink in the lounge. It is a really small and easy to get around airport, although you would be entering Schengen which my transits haven't done so there's some formalities there I expect. Yea, i booked the lounge for the 4hour 10 min stopover on the way back. It was only £30, arrive at 3.20pm, so after a big breakfast where i'm staying, i'll make it worth my while with food, soft drinks, snacks, coffee etc, considering normal airport prices. Think it said i have access for 3 hours, which would suit just right. Didn't give me the option of the lounge on way out, maybe as the stopover is only 2hours, 30mins, i don't know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan is quite poorly now, can’t see her making it to Christmas personally. It tears you apart, in that you don’t want to lose them, but you want their suffering to end. It’s very difficult to deal with. 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the sad day has come, you can use hers for yourself and every time you use it, the precious time you spent together may help you through the mourning.

When mom was in the nursing home. I brought in some of her favorite paintings from home and hung them up. Some of the staff were not to happy with me about this. All I did is give them one of my "looks", and nothing more was said. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiler Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Just back from my mate the viking's house. Turns out the bloke in this story https://thepattayanews.com/2023/12/01/norwegian-motorcyclist-drives-into-dangling-cable-and-gets-injured-in-sattahip/ is his brother. He had a 3 year relationship with Mrs Smiler's niece but that is long over and done with. Spent quite a bit of time with him when he first came to the village. Poor bastard is in a bit of a state - broken collar bone, broken hip, 3 broken ribs and a punctured lung. Mrs viking is off down to Pattaya tomorrow to try and make some sense of it all. Seems like the Police are activlly pushing the company responsible for the cable to take care of hospital bills etc. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunDon Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 We had 5 snowflakes fall in the garden in Dorset the other day. I’d dug my crampon’s out in the expectation that we were going to get a couple of foot of snow. 😟 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But aye, i always take a lunch box full of sandwiches or whatever if leaving early (flight leaving Heathrow is 10.20am), as airports are such a rip off. The hot meal buffet had me buying lounge access, big breakfast at hotel, be starving by 3pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
