Hmm nothing like a serious illness to make you realise who your friends are :rolleyes:
Still nothing better to help me see how lucky I am to have my OH- he's been over making me dinners, keeping track of the meds, buying me strawberry milk, tolerating my non-stop complaining ect.
I is a lucky all things considered

Just read this & had to post it - very touching and heart warming "

Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa , and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.

I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.

As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.

The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker 's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.

The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives.
Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, ''I know why.''

Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation. It has changed the way I live.

He said,''People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?''

The Six-year-old continued, ''Well, dogs already know how to do that when they're born, so they don't have to stay as long.''

Live simply.

Love generously.

Care deeply.

Speak kindly.

Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy.

Take naps.

Stretch before rising.

Run, romp, and play daily.

Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.

On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.

When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Be loyal.

Never pretend to be something you’re not.

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.

ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY!

Same with my mother. When she makes me tea she puts two spoons of sugar in it despite me not taking sugar in tea since I was a kid :rolleyes:

Sometimes I just people would acknowledge things like that! Especially things they should really know right now.

Have a horrible head cold, I might go back to bed.

I wanted a muffin

This is where you went wrong...men always bring "Something that they think is nice" not something you think is nice! Silly girl, should have stated you wanted a muffin!! Boys aren't mind readers...thank God, considering what's on my mind about some of them at times

Couldn't care if he had brought me an apple! It was the fact that he got me something that I have repeatedly told him I hated!

Anyway I'm going for a walk so I'll get the muffin then.

Just cooked the kids sweet n sour prawns and rice. 2 of the kids love prawns, my self and my other son hate see food. I hate having to cook different food dishes Its really wierd cooking food i dont like because I dont know if it tastes right.

I am annoyed with something really petty and I am annoyed with myself for letting it get to me.

One of my friends from university just scanned and posted a ton of photos from the olden days. I always felt like she was flirting over the top with my boyfriend at the time and now half these photos are her hanging on him or generally involve him and her.

It is silly but I feel vindicated and annoyed because now I have proof that she was climbing all over him but it also does not really matter because I broke up with him shortly after.

Why does my brain even care?

So sorry to hear about your dog Lia Lia

My friend and my bf's sister have both had babies this week, so half my wages will be going on presents (which I don't mind at all). However, my friend, who's 19, didn't know she was pregnant until she went into labour :eek:

Dolorous wrote: »

This also happened to an acquaintance of mine, she went into hospital thinking she was dying :eek: I had seen her a few weeks before and there was no bump, little pot belly at best. The baby was perfectly healthy too. Another woman who used to work in my building found out she was pregnant at 7 months, her weight was disguising the bump! Both women were having periods and had no other signs that they might be pregnant, scary!

Well that's terrifying beyond belief.

In other news, I seem to have become allergic to working.

I'm just wondering, is there incouragment of crap eating on these threads? it seems that it's not long before someone mentions some carb,sugar, trans fat laden 'treat'

After reading the thread about being thinner talking about about cakes, donuts and baked goods seems counter productive.

I get that if someone want to eat cake, let them eat cake. I'd never stop someone eating what they want but there's a huge emotional attachment to these foods. When you read other people reading about someone having cake/icecream/donuts you might be more likely to eat that kinda stuff. I've no idea where I'm going with this thought (and that's all it is, just me putting my thoughts in words)

It's the kinda thing "are your friends making you fat?" Are we all here making each other fat/unhealthy?

Anyway feeling a little snuffly, and I'm going to walk to my grannies and then do some shopping.

Yeh I get what you mean.

Lately it seems the norm to post up what your eating. I don't see the point in that.

Maybe change the name to:

What made you smile/frown/mad/sad/cry/and what you ate today-thread for all your emotional needs!

People eat what they want to eat no one forces them or encourages them .... We like to talk about cake leave people do that ... Anyone who doesnt like a topic can just ignore it thats the joy if boards ...

I dont think anyone is making any else "fat" by talking about food ... Why take things so seriously ?!

Because maybe somethings are serious? I normally don't take things seriously but as I said it was a thought.

I decided to find out what study I was thinking of it was the framingham study, done over many years that followed an over 5000 people living in Framingham. It showed that if one of your friends gained weight then you were 57% more likely to follow and if it was a friend of a friend you were 20% more likely to follow.

I think it's safe to say that other people online can have this influance too. I don't think it's a simple case of ignoring posts.

I suppose I think that people need to look at what they're doing more,how they're feeling when there doing it and why they're doing it. It was really just a thought, so chill!

Also I ignored someone once, still read everyone of there posts, if anything it made there posts more obvious:rolleyes:

Are we not allowed talk about food anymore?

Where's Acoshla btw?

This thread is making me sad, it seems people can't even say what they think anymore without people getting all defensive! If you don't agree with something fair enough, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

On another note, I did a good bit of study today so I'm going to give myself a break and catch up on Game of Thrones

I thought that Gay Byrne joke was one of the funniest things I read on this thread. Can't remember if I told you at the time. Cracked me up something good.

I've been made vice captain of a team I play with. I was being shoe horned into being captain but I told them to f-off. So i've been trying to persuade some girls to join the team.

Probably asking them while they were in the bathroom wasn't one of my brightest ideas. Pretty sure there'll be a warning picture of me up in here with SEXUAL PREDATOR underneath it

Don’t want to drag things over from V4 but I just want to say thanks to everyone that posted with kind words and advice. It really means a lot that you took the time to post and try to help me out. I wish I could be more open but alas I’m just not that kind of person.

Still really busy with college stuff unfortunately. I just want it all to be over. Loved the course all year so I feel bad about wishing it was over.

I found my old notes from first year this morning during a huge session of rooting through every bit of paper I own to find my third year notes hidden in there somewhere. Not only did I find the first ever page of notes for my course (the one I wish I was majoring in despite NEVER planning to take it), which reads "Celtic Civilisation, Lecture One, 23/9/09" and just a blank page - start as I mean to go on much? - but also notes I'd written to friends and them back when we were bored in lectures. Lots of hangman figures with boys names in them and things about the night before, stuff I'd completely forgotten about. All before the boys who have shaped the last two years of our lives ever entered them, its mad, we're totally different now!
And after eventually finding the third year notes, I'm part of the way through typing up ones for a module that has a million pieces of paper, and the rest are all organised. Ignoring the fact that I'm destined to fail Economics by the sheer lack of notes I have, I'm happy out really

That not knowing you're pregnant thing is TERRIFYING, like if everything is happening as normal.... *paranoia*.

Happy Thursday ladies
