You're right. Sadly, it is already happening.

RE: When is the last time u were loved (Mentally/Emotionally & Physically) by someone?

The love I have for my children knows no bounds.

When was I last loved mentally, emotionally and physically?

Romantically speaking, when I was a teenager.

He even loved me spiritually, and I, him.

RE: please.............

Just would like to say thank you all, from the bottom of my heart for your kind wishes, thoughts and prayers for my daughter...

A big hug to Tru who posted this thread

A little history first without going into too much detail. My daughter is 16. Two years ago, a sheath of a nerve associated with her spinal was severed during routine key-hole surgery to remove a cyst from her fallopian tube. If we'd been in America we would've sued their arses off....but we have no contingency for that in this country. She has been unable to walk ever since. At one point she had 21 admission in 12 months for acute pain. If you can imagine a cable with electrical cords entwined inside being exposed to the body. My daughter has endured the most insufferable pain imaginable. When I say she is critical, it is not life-threatening, but her condition is. She effectively has CRPS 2....formal diagnosis. She sleeps when she's exhausted from the pain which she has no rest from. If she were to take any further pain relief, than what she is now, it would damnage her vital organs.

My daughter has dreams. Despite not attending school for 18 months and the constant admissions to hospital, she sat and passed all of her high school papers. She is going on to University to study for a BSc, and then plans to attend med school with the hope of becoming a forensic scientist. She is extremely clever and very brave. We haven't worked out the logistics of how all this is going to happen yet, but with her determination, I know she will succeed. She is currently living with my brother and his family as they have a wheelchair access home and has carers who assist her. I try to see her as often as I can, but I find it difficult to bear, the pain she is. She is stronger than her mother.

I am on this site primarily(I joined a year ago) for some distraction. I have made some great friends along the way. I have also lost some friends too. I haven't always been in a tolerant frame of mind, and I do regret losing their friendship.

Having said that, I do try to stay as positive as I can, because I need to keep the wheels ticking over here at home. I share the care of my son with his father.

Thank you all again for your support...

RE: please.............

Dum de doo....dum de doo.....nope I gotta say something.

If you must know it's my daughter Tru is referring to. She has been ill for 2 years now, critically, right at this point in time. I didn't ask for Tru to post this thread. It was done out of the goodness of his heart and I am grateful for all who have posted. I pray every day to anyone who is listening that she recovers. I am grateful for anyone who sends good thoughts, wishes, prayers, blessings my daughter's way.....because we are desperate for help, so she can recover from this.

I am sorry your friend is so ill, but, man....you need a good slap around the head.

....and, no....I'm not going to respond to your suggestive email.

Thanks everyone for your kind wishes, thoughts and prayers....

RE: please.............

What is it with you?

Sending lots of prayers, blessings, good wishes and love to your friend who is very ill....

In essence it is sending good thoughts and whatever else that may help carry this young girl through.

Don't be so damned pedantic about how it is sent.

RE: please.............

To Tru....a lovely gesture

To your special friend.... sending lots of love for a full recovery...

RE: Post a picture from where you live

Who needs pubs, clubs, discos and booze....when you've got all those amazing sights.

Great pics psygnar

RE: death

A new star....I like that....

If it's reincarnation, I'd like to come back as a bird....the feathered kind this time....

RE: death

Just hope we won't be too disappointed when we get there.....either that or we won't know a damn thing...

RE: What TV series are you watching that are currently on?

Cheesecake Now ya talkin....

Has to be lemon....

RE: Post a picture from where you live

Yep, did the jet-boating, not the kite-surfing.....yet. I took the steam boat across to the island and patted the llamas....forgotten the name of the boat....

RE: What TV series are you watching that are currently on?

I've just got a little Nissan Tiida hatch....does the job, very economical.

I haven't seen Goldrush....I don't actually watch a lot of tv, even though we've got Sky....my boy likes a few of their channels....MTV etc.

I did watch a bit of Masterchef....but I can take or leave TV....

I'd prefer a good psychological movie thriller any day.

RE: What TV series are you watching that are currently on?

Oh, I watch Top Gear every now and then.

Good value...




and a bit of the CI channel....I fantasise what I'm going to do to my ex....

RE: What TV series are you watching that are currently on?

I haven't watched the whole series.....I've only seen the last 3 programmes. My son(even though it's a school night) has special permission from me to watch it. It goes against everything I normally watch(not into horror) but I'm hooked now. I think this latest community they've landed at, is a trap?

Got to feel for the bub...

Oh....I left a message for you on thread re bungy jump....down below.

RE: What TV series are you watching that are currently on?

None....The Walking Dead..

RE: Post a picture from where you live

Hell no....

Too much of a mess to clean up on the conrete below....

Been up the tower several times....the glass elevator was scary enough...

Not altogether a wuss though....did my bungy jump down in Queenstown...from the bridge....above....it was perfect....submerged hands in the water. Not game enough for Skippers Canyon though....it was wee bridge....but I did do it....

What about you? Where did you fly off from?

Have you been to the sky casino/tower yourself?

RE: Is finding lover for life-long relationship toughest now a days?

Just going to make some dinner.

Enjoy your evening everyone....

RE: Is finding lover for life-long relationship toughest now a days?

I think he'd rather have you sit on his head.

I'm sorry. Couldn't help myself with that.

I do kinda get what you are looking for. I was similar in wanting separate lives, roofs and generally just meeting up occasionally for a day/night out....generally an exclusive girlfriend/boyfriend arrangement.

RE: Is finding lover for life-long relationship toughest now a days?

Hi Deb....

Yep...social media....has kinda ruined it for some of us. Don't wish to sound negative, but it's the ol' revolving lolly-shop mentality on dating sites such as this.

I'm a bit of a homebody these days. Did all my clubbing/partying in my earlier days, so options are a bit limited. I am on here merely for distraction now. I'm done with the dating scene.....he'd have to be pretty special to change my mind on this.....you're right....more likelihood of meeting someone out and about....but I've found as we get older, with our responsibilities, we become a little too comfy with our computer tech for communicating with others. Lack of motivation, for sure....

RE: Is finding lover for life-long relationship toughest now a days?

I'd rather be single than be involved with something or someone that I'm incompatible with.

That's just my opinion.

It may still happen for you...if you are patient enough.

Patience is not one of my greatest virtues unfortunately.

Hang in there....
