RE: Re : Leaving home

I left home when I was 16, parents were fantastic. I had a wonderful upbringing. However, I was a rebellious teen at the time, and it was totally unacceptable to still be living with your parents beyond that age in the 70's. I managed, though can remember living on one packet of rice for a whole week, was still raging out at pubs every night and working every day though. Good times and it set me in good stead for the remainder of my life up to now. Today's teenagers are such "cotton wool" people, they couldn't possibly exist without their parents doing everything for them, including giving them free board, with all the extras until they are 25! (or sometimes older)

RE: People ....

OMFG.............. how I so relate to these posts!

Bit of a worry once you get passed 50

thanks Blizz............. the way we live today has a lot to answer to doesn't it?

Bit of a worry once you get passed 50

but so many from cancer? Had another today, close workmate, only two months ago she was working with us as per normal, one visit to the Doctor, then straight into hospital, and today... gone! Even my own son has been fighting Lymphoma for the past two years and he is only 27.

I have friends dying left, right and centre, mostly of cancer. Is this all we have left to look forward to?

RE: I have been

I've given up and also realized it is not that important in the scheme of things

RE: The none poster?

nothing much happens here anymore, prefer Facebook

Safe and happy Christmas to you all!

been reading all your posts over the last few months, YES lurking, however had too much going on with family etc, so been reluctant to get involved.

RE: Where Goverment funding is going.

so agree with you Martia, my son has been fighting Lymphoma for the past 2 years, he is one of thousands who need chemo for survival

RE: Describe yourself in one word

inarut......... yeah I know it's technically 3 words, but joined together is what I am

RE: Operation imminent

and good luck Martia, hope all goes well for you hun

RE: Operation imminent

some of you may know that my 27y.o. son has Hodgkins Lymphoma, which is a blood cancer, caused by nothing in particular... he has been enduring endless chemotherapy for over a year now, he now goes into hospital for chemo at 3 days at a time. The nurses discourage him going for a walk to have a cigarette, he does it anyway, though he is not a heavy smoker.

I smoke a pack a day, considered as heavy these days. but with all the other pollutants in every day life, hey something will kill me in the end!. Guess what folks, we all die, no matter what we do, or how we chose to live our lives.

Just saying Hi

thanks again. Can't seem to find any forums for Hodgkins Lymphoma where I can ask questions or just chat, (only American forums which is not much help). Visit Oncologist on Wednesday so we'll see what he has to say.

Just saying Hi

His sister will need to be tested (siblings are preferred donors), but if her bone marrow doesn't match, he will need other donors, which can sometimes be a long wait.

thanks everyone, I appreciate your replies and support, will keep you posted.

Just saying Hi

thanks everyone My son has suffered depression since he was 16 and since he was diagnosed with Hodgkins, he has turned his life around, so there was a big plus in all of this. However, we all thought he would be cured after the relentless rounds of chemo he has had, just gone through the really "heavy duty" chemo, but now he is in a lot of pain, and the tumour hasn't decreased in size, so it's not looking good at all.

Just saying Hi

I haven't been on here for a little while. My son has had his 3rd relapse for Hodgkins Lymphoma, looks like the only remaining option will be a bone marrow transplant. I am so worried, scared even......... so have been dealing with this for a few months.

RE: Acceptance

and again, me!

RE: So......tell me about yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!

my thoughts exactly Wysty

RE: So......tell me about yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!

he was just after one thing Tony, he made that quite clear

RE: So......tell me about yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!

I usually get guys who are way too young leave me messages. One that stands out recently though, kept sending me messages even after I told him he was too young, he kept telling me he loves mature women, blah, blah, etc, etc, then when I had finally had enough and told him to take a long walk off a short pier, he replied: "You old slag, who'd want you anyway".............. had to laugh at the freakin' moron, then I banned him.

RE: Our Forum is Dying

you get feedback Prowler, whereas I usually don't, apart from now.... that I am having a whinge

RE: Our Forum is Dying

well I can't agree with you Martia on the rest of the regulars, they obviously have time to reply to each other, just not anyone else who is not in their little cocoon of friends on here.

and thank you for your very sweet reply, you are one of "none" haha

RE: Our Forum is Dying

This forum is probably dying because the regulars on here ignore any newbies. I have been posting on and off for a while, but most often get ignored, hence why bother posting here, this forum site is very cliquey.

Facebook revenge

Here's an update

RE: Growing old disgracefully

RE: Growing old disgracefully

so you guys never "tone it down" when with your children?

Facebook revenge

So you would accept your child talking about you like that on Facebook?

Facebook revenge

I suppose just "taking it away", then the daughter would know it is still up for grabs if she behaved herself for a short time. This way, it will never happen lol

Facebook revenge

interested in your thoughts..... you must watch it to the end though.

RE: Growing old disgracefully

love it Wysterious!
