RE: When You’re In Love With A Beautiful Woman.

Most men go for looks

Many women do too

Personally, so long as I don't wince when I look at the bloke I'm with, I'm happy. So long as he doesn't knock me down if I'm standing between him and his reflection ...

RE: When You’re In Love With A Beautiful Woman.

Cat, Art adores Mimi (and vv) and she is, by the way, gorgeous

RE: "RAMBLIN MAN"..("RAMBLE ON")..(149)

Safe in your own house, Nam

It's that blue moon. Sure of it. Two moons in one month, why, t'aint natural

RE: "RAMBLIN MAN"..("RAMBLE ON")..(149)

Thank goodness you are allowing comments. Sudden burst of blogs which won't

And of course a couple of blogs still getting comments when they should have been exploded into smithereens by now

When your kids disapprove ...

Usha, what did I miss, one or more of your daughters getting married? How exciting! how exhausting! I didn't realize you were also Anglican, funny thing, when I got to Scotland it isn't called that but Episcopalian (I think that is its name in the US too) and Scottish ones are known as piskies. Now how's that for a really useful fact?

BW, I once heard it said, a mother's place is in the wrong. So be it.

RE: The Human/Pie Genome Project

You already did

RE: The Human/Pie Genome Project

Yikes

No room at the house

and, playing my final card -

don't you DARE

RE: Friends & Acquaintances

One of my favourite cartoons (I don't know a quick way to post pics in the new CS layout) shows an empty church with many seats and the widow saying to the vicar "I thought there would be more people, he had over 1000 Facebook friends"

RE: The Human/Pie Genome Project

Map, no, exposed as fake news.



pie in the sky.

When your kids disapprove ...

Oh thank you poppet and it wouldn't have been an easy day for you

I definitely think a teddybear is called for here

And now over and out n'night

When your kids disapprove ...

JJ yup.

Just - it would be nice to have her cheering me on, you know? Even just 'hey mum have fun, see you whenever, take care'

Anyway the day is over now. Her wedding anniversary in a few days. I'll be the bigger person - I'll leave a message on FB

When your kids disapprove ...

Emmy, that weird time in a parent's life where you aren't needed, mustn't interfere, but be waiting ready to spring into action ...

Happy SB day

When your kids disapprove ...

Oh Emmy deserted her completely or just be elsewhere but on standby for when needed? It's bizarre how two people involved in the same situation can view it through totally different eyes.

When your kids disapprove ...

KN thank you and a bouquet to you too, you deserve it I'm not exactly leading an exotic life but she married into a very boring conventional family and I don't think that helps as she is constantly being asked what I am up to now, as though I am some kind of oddity. Me!

Emmy, you a rebel too? Good girl!

Deedee, thanks! - we've never quarrelled about it as such. She's just closed me out, it stings, and it is meant to sting. But the move to Spain was just a final straw, there's been a distance for a while. I'm not the mother she would have chosen - maybe that anyone would have chosen and yet I think if I really needed her, she'd come through. I hope she knows the reverse will always be true.









Getting on with close family is a gift, not a right

When your kids disapprove ...

Must go do chores and paint stuff and make sure the house is in a state for her to sell before I drop dead.

Later, gators xx

When your kids disapprove ...

Hi Molls my parents divorced when my mum was fifty and I encouraged her to date again. But yes I was slightly horrified by both men she dated and very relieved when she stopped

Hi Kal lots of comments on FB from people missing their mums. I miss mine as she was - wouldn't want her - for her own sake - to be alive now.

Maybe I could redeem myself by dying

Non, yup, in years past I got flowers delivered and a card and I always thought that was OTT. Like I said in the blog, though, a lie-in and no mess to get up to was a lovely thought, even if only once a year

This blog not supposed to be about me,I was hoping I wasn't the only parent glowered at. So far I am.

When your kids disapprove ...

Ta, Mimi, it's really confusing that the UK celebrates on a different day to the entire rest of the western world

Do you do mother's day, is it a big thing, small thing, not a thing?

When your kids disapprove ...

Oh, that's normal Teenagers. Huh.

Don't you miss the days when they giggled delightedly at them, though?

RE: Spider

Tulefell, there's a touch of Birdman of Alcatraz here : I hope a new spider takes up residence soon, also hope your social life has become so hectic you don't even notice

I don't mind spiders that remove themselves, don't much like the ones that stare me in the eye and won't budge.

See you on the other side - switching off at sunset

Mimi, seems you aren't the only one shocked by the very idea.

Around 3 hours to sunset for me, I am rushing round ODing on comments

RE: # Trinity time.

Nice job in the gif. Sandra Bullock was an eye-opener in Miss Congeniality in her stage act.

Do as you would be done by, if you use force, only right you should get force back. In spades

RE: I´m at a loose end today

Oh Bear I would never be in THAT much of a hurry, barging my way through traffic

I am of course joking (both in my original comment and to you).

Plus he's unlikely to still be in the office, it is coming up 8.30 pm here

RE: Ladies, if you want men to look at your face and not your chest..... eat a banana..

If I'm with a man who wants to look at my chest I'll give him the banana and walk away.

Bloggers are all writers, so creating a story together should be a doddle

RE: Starting a new week with a smile...

Surprised it wasn't the oldest couple, you know how it is in the metallic years, if opportunity knocks you never ever waste it, who knows when it will come again

(Bloggers are writers sidelong blog)

It's died the death now anyway, Molly, I can't even wrap it up as I made the last comment

(Bloggers are writers sidelong blog)

My imagination right now feels DOA so I am absolutely loving the twists and tweaks introduced especially the challenge of pulling back to the original storyline - such as it is!

Bloggers are all writers, so creating a story together should be a doddle

And yet - the ER room seemed to wobble at the edges, like a film set. When she closed her eyes she was instantly back in that darkened hallway, and staring at a good-looking man around her own age who looked a bit too stressed to merely be afraid of the dark ... a frighteningly real hallucination. She opened her mouth to say something (go away?) but suddenly he staggered forward, reeling, and she saw another man behind him holding a cosh, an evil and slightly insane grin on his face. Run, RUN! - except that this wasn't real. And if it wasn't real, she could be anything - a martial arts expert - armed with a cannon - the possibilities were dazzling

(Bloggers are writers sidelong blog)

Reminder, anyone leaving the main storyline to follow one of the two alternatives - Al switching to cricketing fame and fortune, or the girl in the cape wondering what happened - really would help if you copy and paste the comment you are exploring before you add your own? Although I think boggled minds are inevitable soon

(Bloggers are writers sidelong blog)

I think so - once they get rid of that worrying shadow lurking nearby.
