RE: a prayer for a dear friend... SIMMO

Thank you P - you're very kind

sadly , my mother is very ill and she is in hospital at the moment -

yes indeed , life is very busy at the moment ...i do still write poetry occasionally , but i no longer post on Poetry Corner .

I am logging off the site and leaving again P in a few minutes - as i mentioned earlier , i only logged on tonight as Dela and i really wanted to pay our respects to Simmo on your blog and also on Teddy's . Dela and i just heard the sad news tonight when Z emailed me .
To all our friends who remember Dela and i , please all take good care of each other on the blogs - be kind and supportive of one another and we send all of you our best wishes for the future .

I will give Delatude your regards P

RE: a prayer for a dear friend... SIMMO

Hello P -it has been a long time since i last logged on to c/s , but i just wanted to log on tonight to express Delatude's and my own deep sadness on the sudden passing of our friend Simmo
You have written a beautiful tribute to him , and Delatude and i wanted to pay our respects to Simmo ,and his loving family on both yours and Teddy's blog .
Simmo was a genuinely good person - a family man at heart most of all -and a wonderful friend to so many . He will be very sadly missed by all of us who knew him so well . Rest in peace dear Simmo
Sending you our best wishes P - Take care

RE: A Cs-legend

On behalf of myself , and Delatude , we want to say how utterly shocked and deeply saddened we are to hear the news tonight of Simmo's passing .Thank you Z for letting us know the sad news - most kind of you to email me this evening and i appreciate it greatly .
Both Delatude and i were part of the "old crowd " here on c/s ...both of us here for a couple of years , in which the most wonderful bonds of friendships were formed ...The fun , and banter Harold ,Teddy , Non , Zman , Delatude and i used to have here on the blogs was so wonderful - a complete joy to all of us .We enjoyed much laughter , and also supported each other in times when life sometimes threw each of us a curve ball .
I can hardly imagine the grief and pain that Simmo's family are experiencing right at this moment ...especially his 2 beautiful grand daughters of whom he spoke so fondly and so often .
Simmo was an absolute gentleman - with his family the core of his life .
To all of his friends on the blogs , we will miss him so very much .And especially to you Z , who have lost such a close friend .
Delatude and i wish to pay our deepest respects to Simmo and all his family - we thank you Simmo , for bringing so many smiles to the blogs and for being the man that you were .You will never be forgotten by those of us who's life you touched , where you brought awards , fun , respect much joy and friendship .
Rest in peace dear Simmo from your friends Serenity4two , and Delatude

RE: Happy Birthday fotinia

oh I hope this isn't too late ..

I wish you the most wonderful birthday dearest Fot

I hope you have had a very special day !

Happy Birthday !

RE: When Last Did You Break A Heart?

I will be hoping your Dad continues to be fine Cat ,but I can certainly understand your concern about him loosing some weight
I am sure you and your family are keeping a watchful eye over him
My own Dad has lost over a stone in the past 2 weeks alone , ontop of the weight he had already lost post surgery
He was thin before any of this happened - so he had no weight to loose .

Anyway onto happier topic of you and your beloved ...I am guessing your erratic sleep pattern due to the "time difference " is a small price to pay ,,,she is very worth it !
Avery special lady indeed

As regards your laziness ...you're grand ...
you worked for long enough ...laziness is allowed

Goodnight Cat and please give S my warm regards

RE: When Last Did You Break A Heart?

That's very kind of you to say Cat ..
I doubt it ...but thankyou

So how's your dad and how's retirement going ?

RE: When Last Did You Break A Heart?

Hi Cat ..hope you and S are well

as regards broken hearts ...

I had mine romantically broken once when I was 20 years old ...then again 7 years ago ..

And of course 4 months ago ..my beloved daddy being diagnosed with stage 3 cancer really broke my heart in a different way :-((
I don't think I will ever be the same person again after all that has happened in these past 4 months .

In the last 7 years I very much doubt I have broken anyone's heart ...probably I tried and "broke " their patience ,
but not" broke " their heart

Great blog as usual from you Cat

RE: Well its spring time and it was bound to happen

Hi Non

goodness , for 20 euro a jar ,,it would want to cure a lot of ailments ! we're robbed here in Ireland as you know !
For 20 euros ...Don't let a drop of it go to waste ! Hope you feel better soon

RE: Happy St Patrick's Day

Thankyou Gentlejim
Very kind of you to post this blog ..
As you rightly say ,,it is celebrated throughout the world , which is marvellous !
I too wish you a Happy St Patrick's Day

RE: Happy St.Patrick's Day.

Hello S.b
and thankyou
I too wish you a Happy St Patrick's Day !

As regards your question re "luck " ...I'm not sure
I do however believe in fate .
The hand of fate can be cruel but can also be very kind ..
If 2 people are meant to meet ..they will imo
Have a great St Patrick's weekend

RE: TO ALL OUR IRISH FRIENDS

Thankyou dearest Phyllis
Having been born and reared and lived all my life in Ireland -I am already so proud of our country --this is a wonderful dedication to us on this special weekend celebrating St Patrick
I left a comment for you also on Poet's Corner
I also re-posted my poem "Forever Green " in celebration of the weekend that it is :-))
Thankyou again Phyllis - this is very thoughtful of you

RE: Thinking of summertime ;-)

Hi Red ,

Difference is , you are an amazing singer ,,,I am not

RE: Favorite movie

thankyou ,,,
good to meet you too Molly

RE: Favorite movie

Hi Molly
yeah he probably would have ,,,and he wouldn't have needed any army ..he would have done it all by himself !!!

RE: Favorite movie

See now that's typical thing a man would say Cat
Yes indeed that is a brilliant film for sure ,,,Clint is excellent as always and Donald Sutherland is brilliant in that movie
But they're blowing bridges up !!!...
Compare that to Clint (Robert Kincaid ) taking photos of the Bridges of Madison County for National Geographic and falling inlove while he's in Iowa
Now that is my kinda movie - sheer bliss !

RE: Favorite movie

Hi S
I adore "Love Actually " too ! great choice !
Anything with Clint Eastwood - especially "Bridges of Madison County "
Best Comedy --"Midnight Run " -absolutely hilarious !
I also love anything Disney ...one must never loose touch with one's inner child I say
Hope all is going well for you S

RE: time for an update?

Teddy ,

PLease give her my warm regards - and have a great trip my friend

RE: My First Attempt

Hi Simmo hope you are keeping well ? hi all

Well done you ! the cake looks beautiful

I wonder how it would have tasted with "Sheep Dip " added instead of whiskey ?
The hangover may have lasted more than a few days I'd say Simmo - Strong stuff that ! not that I would know of course

RE: THE MOST DREADED WORD?

Hello Red
Thankyou ...Hope you're keeping well

RE: THE MOST DREADED WORD?

I was sitting beside my father in a hospital consultation room 6 weeks ago , when he was told the " most dreaded word "
Everyone deals with this situation differently - every family will deal with it differently .Everyone will have a different way of coping .
But you were very supportive Scouse to that lady ..and i am sure she appreciated it very much .
Sometimes words aren't neccessary ..a hug or gentle hand on someone's shoulder will bring great comfort .
