:o they're really wicked.....don't let them in.

 

 

I'm so, so tired tinight....

I hope you're asleep now.

not yet!

GO TO SLEEP (shouting again)

Love to but I don't think I'll get much this weekend. The Ulster branch of the family are over .

Should be good fun though.

Oh yes. I love when they come over.

 

I think Irish humour is so much in tune with Glaswegian humour that the simplest statement can build to everybody rolling around with tears in their eyes.

I love times like that. They just seem very rare these days.

A large, mad family can be great ................................in small doses.

Agreed. Family can be great, but also can the twosome.

I took the dog out with our 10yr old yesterday. About 15 mins into the walk, we came across a young collared dove, just huddled on the path. It was nearly fledged but with the fluff still there among the feathers. It was week and obviously very unwell. There were no adults around and I couldn't see a nest. The 10 yr old couldn't just leave it. It had a head injury and I knew it wouldn't survive. It died at 6:50 this morning. The funeral is in about 30 mins. He felt we could save it. All I could do was keep it warm and make sure it had water. I don't know at what stage in their lives it would feed on seeds rather than crop milk but, it was just too badley hurt.

 

It's always so sad when young things die. I'll be off to dig a hole in a little while. I was supposed to save it but, it never had a chance. Our young always think we can do miracles.

Wow, what has happened? Do we have new Mods, or is it a new system? I'm confused.

I bet you've got what I had earlier. I had to change the display type to get back to normal.

The one with just the first sentence of each post in a list? I had that twice yesterday.

 

At the top of the page there's a box which says Display Mode. Click on it and a drop down menu appears. My usual display is standard mode, Bramley. I just clicked on that and it changed immediately.

Isn't it confusing when it first happens though?

I've seen it on other forums so I at least knew I needed to find the menu and it was nice and easy here.

I'm back! Iwas totally confused.....I couldn't read any page but the first in any section, so I didn't receive your advice.

I found the display modes by sheer chance! I even put out a cry for help on the Buzz Jack backup site, but of course

none of you were reading that.

But, you're back now.

Loved or not!

Ahhh, unloved abandoned ansd uncared for. At least you can be surre of abuse here.
