...flew back to he UK on Thursday to see his friends for 2 weeks..and a new GF he met last time we were back.

So I sent him off on his way, worried he will lose his wallet..passport you name it. Its the first time he's flown anywhere on his own. So was worried sick..he landed in the UK at 6:30 am and his mate, a farmer picked him up in his landcover.

So all was good, I have now fumigated his bedroom as it stunk..Now on Thursday night I went out with my GF and her mate Lyn. They both came back to the house and her friend stayed in Louis's room.

In the morning I asked if Lyn slept well, she said not really, there was a woman who slept next to me..WTF..what did she look like...old..blonde hair..Immediatley I thought of my mum..so I showed her a photo..yes thats her...

What should I take from this ?

RELEASED and GRATEFUL!

Phone broke, overspending for beloved got me in sudden trouble at the beginning of new year. this incident shows a big gap in my financial risk management lol.

though it is new year time i had no other ways but make phone calls to my debtors to ask for the money back even though i didn't want to do that at all. 1 picked up the call with another promise to return the loan in 1 or 2 years the other even didn't pick up the call

Superfrustrated, i didn't make another call to the 3rd one and started talking with my friends. and in a blink my problem is solved weeee friendship

Sometimes in life, the effects don't come in a linear way but a zigzag. we can hardly receive a help back from those we exerted it to but normally from someone new. however, i guess it goes in a circle and one way or another, good things will bounce back to us

You made my day, friends. Love you all, the good and the bad those taught me and made me feel

Caught the Royal wedding this AM, and while hardly a royalist, enjoyed the show, and seeing this nice socially active couple. But I was saddened to see that the bride had only one member of her family in attendance, namely mom. Gossip media bring up alleged big family issues on dad's side. Of course, historically, and present day, hard to beat the British Royals for treetop family dysfunction, with some notable exceptions. They should clone the Queen Mother. Aa-V.

If you loves your furry friend the bottom of there mouths and the hairs along its mouth lips carry alot of germs which you should clean after each meal more so if they are fed canned food and meats, dry foods are safer of course a mild soap and water on a sponge does wonders for there happiness as a reminder a crying sounds from canines doesnt mean they just want to go outside they feel pain headaches body achs etc etc
And in times of like today a small effort to ease ones stress.

I saw this post by my grandiva the other day on FB and because I'm so proud of this my wild child granddiva - I'm going to share what she wrote. It may mean nothing to you but it moved me. Long read but goes fast: Imagine what this was like for a young person: It i a nice tribut

I can’t even begin to explain the crazy journey I’ve been on the past few months. When I got the CJO from Delta I started selling everything I’ve worked my entire life for. I moved out of an apartment I was sharing with a friend who turned out to be more like family. I left my steady income to head to training, 6 days a week for 6 weeks. I didn’t know if I would surpass all of the Delta standards & have a job at the end of training. There was a few times I was nervous that I was in over my head.
During training Covid-19 started happening around the world. We had classmates with friends and families in the hot zones. We watched the news every morning as this developed around the world and seeing our future job cancel flights to the places we’ve been dreaming to visit. It felt far away since we were in own little bubble in the training center. I think all and all I left the training center 5 times in 6 weeks.
It seems almost over night Covid showed up in our backyard. We felt the anxiety and panic of the world creeping in more and more with each passing day.. one week the airports were full and the following they turned into a ghost town.
Our company had to make some really tough decisions and getting our wings was one of them. My hearts goes out to the classes behind us that have to wait to get their wings now. You worked so hard and I can’t wait to see you in the sky! Stay positive, those wings are coming.
My class & I were fortunate enough to get our wings. Even if we’re taking a leave (1-12 months long) or not flying as much as we would like. The goal was the wings & I feel more than BLESSED to wear them proudly. I’m a Delta Flight Attendant!! I’m honored to work for a company that puts safety NUMBER 1 consistently. Every flight I feel safe regardless of the situations going on around us.
I’ve had the opportunity to be apart of a bigger picture. We’re transporting items that are critical for hospitals. As a team we’re delivering essential personal from point A to point B. We’re getting people home who have been stuck in other countries for weeks. We’re continuing to connect the world & do our part for humanity.
I’ve had the most intense, uncertain, and REWARDING few months of my life!! I’m not sure what the days, weeks, or months ahead of me will contain but I’m SO happy to do it with my crews and company. Here’s to the future! May it be full of good health, adventure, and optimism.
I wanted to give a very special thanks to the humans that have gone above and beyond to make sure I have a bed to sleep in, all safety precautions I need, and food in my belly. My Father Rick has been working endless hours of overtime to make sure I have everything I need!! I couldn’t thank this man enough for EVERYTHING! My Aunt Carol has pushed me and motivated me everyday. My Mother Michelle has been a great support system and I miss her dearly during this time! Savannah in Atlanta & Raiden ave been so kind letting me stay with them and helping me get adjusted to this lifestyle.
Ayla took my little chunky cat baby Luna in since I wouldn’t be able to take care of her, thanks for loving her and spoiling her! I appreciate y’all more than I could ever put into words. THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT!!!

It was just confirmed last night that I have a Son and 2 Grandsons I never knew about.

First of all I am adopted and have since found both my birth Mother's side of the family as well as my birth Father's side.

It started when my half Brother Keith (Father's side) called me and told me according to Ancestry.com I have a very close relative who thinks he is my Grandson. I looked at my DNA relatives and saw where in DNA strength the Grandson's strength falls between 4 of my half siblings and 2 of my half Nieces and 1 half Nephew.

I called the Grandson last evening and asked him to look at his DNA relatives and see if he not only sees Keith, but also sees Bruce, Lisa, and Karen, all on my birth Mother's side. He said yes. They all are 2 generations away from him. His Father was also adopted and I spoke to him (my Son) Sunday.

I have never been married and until now have never had any known children.

Ain't life grand ?!?!

My siblings and I have been 'orphans' since April of 2017, when my last parent made her exit from this life. Her pictures, words, mannerisms, efforts, and other elements of her existence often cross my mind. Even more so, is the fact that persons who knew her remind me that I look, speak/sound, act and think like a younger version of her. Unfortunately, that very similarity may have been the cause of our frequent 'head-butting' whilst she was here. All I can cherish now are the memories.

A part of showing love is cherishing those that you care about. They may be friends, family, pets, work colleagues, neighbours, etc. It is especially important, I think, to cherish those who give meaning to our life, even if indirectly so. A phone call, a small token/gesture, a kind note, a word of thanks, a smile, a hug, a wave....a little can go a long way.

Don't wait...let's cherish each other today.

I spent a few days including Valentine's Day with my Mom. She took a fall that sent her to the hospital for a few days over a week ago. My daughter had been staying with her but wanted to see her boyfriend for the weekend so I went a stayed. I had a great time. Mom looks like a mummy all bandaged up but she is getting around. She didn't trip this fall, she fainted due to her blood pressure medicine never getting lowered to agree with the weight loss since Dad's illness then the panademic. She is certainly getting better everyday insisting on bringing Dad home. I'm just taking it a day at a time and I"M FINE.

We spent a lot of time going down memory lane, there was lots of laughter. Her phone is crazy nuts riinging with people checking on her.

Anyways back to the point of the title. In my family we kiss hello, we kiss goodbye, we say I love you with every goodbye especially on the phone, all phone calls end with I Love You, even before I go to bed in Mom or Son's house we kiss goodnight and say I Love you. I'm sure many families are that way, if not then I'm sorry.

Twice now I've said I Love you when I didn't mean to say it. Once to my boss who called to scold me and at the end of the call I said I Love you or maybe it was an email - either way the boss said right back "I love you" I was red with embarrasment, still it was funny.

We have a grocery delivery service here called InstaCart. I order groceries a lot and did so from Mom's. Rarely is there a mistake but this last time there was. I called to get credit (customer service is great), once I got the credit and was ready to hang up I said, "I Love You" BLUSH to a deep 50 shades of red!
I apologize then explained my accident and the rep laughed and said "I Love you too"

I just love being a crazy old lady that can laugh at myself. Life is good and

I do love you.

There have been famous multiple births in recorded history: quintuplets, sextuplets, septuplets and even octuplets. But a Malian woman recently gave birth to the first surviving set of nonuplets.

Yes, that’s nine babies at once, and the kicker is she thought she was having seven babies. Halima Cissé, 25, gave birth to five girls and four boys on May 4 in a Moroccan hospital where she’d been sent to receive special care for her high-risk pregnancy.

Two of the children had gone undetected during ultrasounds. Cissé reportedly laughed when she heard she had delivered two extra children.

Video footage from the hospital in Casablanca where the nonuplets were born showed the tiny infants moving little limbs while being cared for in incubators after their birth at 30 weeks. The footage comes from news channel France 24.

Do you think being prepared for death of a dear one is easier than it happening unexpectedly? Maybe
In my experience life blindsided me in my youth 3 times from late teens to early twenties with the sudden death of my 3.5 month old son, a 29 yr. old husband and the murder of my biological mom when she was 39 yrs. (all within a 3 yr. period) Not getting into the details of the emotional. It’s as harsh as it gets but you eventually keep moving forward.

In my experience I’ve also learned that waiting on someone to die is the longest wait to endure. My Dad has had a very rewarding long life at 93 or 96, can’t remember now he is one of the living Dead. Will his eventual death hurt as the ones that blindsided me when I was younger? My guess is it won’t be as agonizing. This watching him die also lets me watch how much Mom and him still love each other. Yesterday was their 66th anniversary – WOW huh. It’s a long time to love.

I love “the Love” my folks have even though they are each other’s third marriage. I only get to experience that kind of love with a dog and it’s a wonderful love. My little dog Bella has been by my side 24/7 for 16 yrs. (she made it to 18 yrs. Old). I watched the end coming which is hard enough seeing them lose their abilities. I’ve wished many times at the end of my pets’ life they would go in their sleep but always dealt the card to make the decision when their life quality is gone.

It was a harsh goodbye. Every time I leave the house I try to grab her and in an instant the finality of the reality flashes. Heart hurts like hell but the rest of me is actually great. My mind is in constant thought of the gazillion wonderful memories to be thankful for. The pain of the loss is SO WORTH all the years of LOVE.
