Good morning Mr.D and yes, we're probably worth more dead than alive ..... but let's not dwell on it. In one of your rhymes going back a year ago you wrote something along the lines of ... just be glad to be here today as tomorrow we can't predict.π€ well along those lines, but how very true your words were. We are lucky to enjoy life whilst we can even though we don't half get pulled through the "wringer"most of the timeπ
On a separate note completely Mr.D, do you look forward to /could take it or leave it .....ππChristmas that is?
I have memories of many many happy, and merry, Christmases which more than satisfies me, so I would rather leave it. But of course that is impossible without upsetting some friends and relatives so I pretend.π
Yes, me too. Personally I've got terrific memories when my son was a toddler and we were at my mum and dads over Christmas. Good memories and in the day when photographs were taken mainly using a proper cameraπΈ !! Since the death of my mum and dad now in a care home at the grand old age of 93, this will be such a different one for us. I feel unsure as what emotions will burst to the surface for me, my son and my dadπ€π? Thanks for "listening" Mr.D ..... it all just blurted out. Oh poor you I do apologise. XX
Midge and I are being tested to the limit Grasshopper. I had a tumble in the garden yesterday and wrote this as I lay there, in the recovery position, cursing and calling down the wrath of God onto those responsible for my predicament! Perhaps this is to be my final act? We shared fish chips and mushy peas for lunch today in case this is our last chance. Sod the diets. π Actshully I feel a lot better today. π
A hero to the last Master Po,putting pen to paper in the recovery position is no mean feat,may i suggest that Midge carries a dictaphone in case of future near death experiences and also has direct contact with the nearest fish and chip shop for life saving sustenance.
I write things in my head young Grasshopper a process that works quite well in the recovery position. Only later is it transferred to pen and paper. π
Cap'n do you have one of those alarm buttons which send out a clarion call to someone like erm . . . . . Putin or Trump or our very own Mini Me Trump who then rush over to help you in your hour of need and then smear a drop of something on your doorbell ?? If not you should have and also always a good idea to take along a walking stick especially during the Winter.
I imagine that Midge enjoyed devouring (in a speed reading kind of way) the info I sent on that Dog Food.
My apologies - I am so hyped up on steroids I can't stop lecturing Best wishes to all xx
Blow that Skis, I'm spending it all when alive, they say you can't take it with you besides I know the great one in the sky is gonna see to my every need
Hi again Don, I thought of you when I was watching a news item Just now, about a Jack Russell who was united with her owner after the dog went missing on a walk.
Oh No Cap'n - I beg to differ - you give so much enjoyment to others on here - that cannot be quantified in terms of sheer money - so please banish that thought from your head. Probably won't have time to be around much as I would like, more scans and more other stuff - please keep those digits crossed for me xx
You stay well too your majjesti and even if you are not around we will generate good vibes for you(hoping they don't interfere)with your radioactive ones. xx
Lotsalols SirSki, It would be quite helpful if those vibes interfered just a little with the steroid ones, so hyped that I am can't sleep for much more than an hour . . . . x
Oh Don, how well you put it, glad you have bounced back a lady I know always says old age is not for the weak I love your poems and I love reading all the reply's you get. I to am on my own and it is a struggle to stay positive sometimes at any time of the year. Stay well hope all manage to enjoy Xmas I especially enjoy the carols and the Disney type programmes on the telly. Love to all.
