I must admit, she's pretty good at turning the steering wheel in coordination with the moving background. [bigwhistle]

I saw a video of this chick pranking a driving instructor a couple of years ago. She's real.

[Arapiles]

"This is a man's car you know".

Right.

Given the COG on a car like that there'd be a real risk of rolling it - you'd have to be really alert to what it was doing and what its limits are.

Well I have started to turn my self around have started my walks again 5 weeks ago, which I haven't done any walks for years, I am doing 5 to 6 km each day. Only the dr scared me saying that I am close to getting diabetes, l have lost just over 1kg so far.
Seen what diabetes did to Mario and what he got later (msa). So I have changed my foods, no sweets, or fried foods etc and eating healthy, have to be around for my boys. Heather

Get to a Park Run /walk Heather. They are fun and only 5km. I am certain you will not be last!!! Its not a race and very sociable as well Lilydale or Dorset might be closest to you. Lilydale is Lavina Petrie's race in my books. If you go let me know[thumbsupbig]

Also Pancreatic Cancer, as have just lost my wife 2 days ago which after a normal Diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes was incorrect although it seems possible the two are connected. Someone ticked the wrong box.

But some good news My/our Grand Daughter has just been selected for her qualification as a Barrister who it seems can take on cases from every State in Australia. No Fence disputes or BARKING DOG Complaints for her.


Already she has been handed some quite biggies & historic huge organisations cases.

I have been saying over the years since she started that I think she will be Chief Justice of The High Court of Oz one day although I probably won;t be around.


My wife held off passing away until GD had passed the Bar Exams & so she did.

Bollocks! Thoughts and profanity with you. Good news on the Grand daughter however.

Thank you Brad. Still quite shell shocked atm & in that dreadful place of being between the Death & the Funeral on Friday a.m.

Married 66 years & got that news on our 66th anniversary. Happy Days eh? [bighmmm] Since then it has been downhill.[bigsad] Bollocks indeed.

[Tins]

It sucks, Des. It's all the way of life, but it still sucks. Hope you aren't doing it alone, even though I know you are.

Thoughts with you.

We did Dads memorial last Friday. With Stage 4 lung cancer, we had 2 and a half years to get used to the idea though. Can't offer you anything other than "good vibes" from here, but you can have as many of those as you want.

Does that help? Serious. I got six weeks with Jan. I'm not sure longer would have been better, but I honestly don't know.

Hi John I don't think any time you have makes it any easier, you lose your sole mate the pain is the same. I know where you are coming from. People say to hold on to the memories, but I have to say there is nothing that can take the place of have them with you. Heather

What it did do was give us time to dot all the "i"s and cross all the "t"s. We took the first year to get all his affairs in order so we knew Mum was going to be sorted and we had a handle on everything. We also had stacks of time to talk about what he wanted for his memorial. His last 7 weeks were in Hospice, and he had people fly in from all over the world to say their goodbyes. I got to say all I wanted to say and hear all he wanted me to hear. My brother had a bucket list of things he wanted to do with dad, so he worked through those. I'd done everything I wanted to do when I wanted it, so I was sorted.

My brother and mother are taking it a lot harder than I am. Having watched cancer take my son, when dad was diagnosed 3 months later I was a bit more philosophical about it because this is the natural order. Your parents raise you, get old and die before you do (or that's the logical order anyway). Dad was only 77 so his was an early departure, but he's also had an amazing life, done everything he wanted to do (except live to be 108) and had plenty of fun.

So I don't know. A couple of weeks before Dad died my friends dad pretty much dropped dead. He was 90 but no warning. Watching the family scramble to try and sort out the farm and finances kinda makes me wonder. On the flip side, it turns out he had more cancer in his head than Dad did, but didn't know. So he lived a full life and went with no warning. Which is better? I don't think anyone can answer that one.

IMHO the longer time is a bit better as you get used to the idea, rather being suddenly hit with a Rideon Mower etc. Diagnosis & treatment started about a year ago albeit it was a cockup "Eat more fat,"to address the obvious weight loss & "Now you can buy some new clothes" " GPs with Covid & leave, & **** knows what else & usually difficult to arrange an Appointment & so on.

Even when it was obvious she looked about 8 mths Pregnant which led to routine draining of her abdomen weekly, which meant a day & night in hospital. Two days later she felt a bit more comfortable then it was time to go back again.

Then the sole Kidney started breaking down (kidney, because she had one removed in the sixties)

A good day to remember her in future D-Day 6th of June was the day she passed away with Ca.

Sorry to hear that Des and I hope your newly minted barrister granddaughter can help you with all the legal stuff should you need it.

Thank you Rand.

She lives in Sinney but so easy these days to communicate if necessary. One day at a time is what I am hearing at the mo.

Sorting out hard copy photos doesn't help but has to be done to ensure the "valuable" ones are kept.
There must be about 10 million B&W & ditto colour snaps that I don't know why we kept them of o/seas trips & images of people that no-one can recognise now. Count the $ now & I could have bought a late model Ferrari/or summat at the time of processing.
Ahhh, what can you do?

Burn the lot now I suppose.[bighmmm][bigrolf]

Sorry mate. Words are usually very hollow at that sad news. Take care Glad she chose to hang about on her timing and terms despite the evitable for all of us.

[Epic_Dragon]

I'm so sorry for your loss 4bee :(

[V8Ian]

Deepest condolences Des, I have no words that can ease your pain, but my thoughts are with you at this sad time.
Feel free to phone me if you need a shoulder.

Thank you James. She was so determined to be here when Grace came to see her & stayed with her for the day but she had to fly back to Sydney.

A newly appointed High Court Judge from Tassie I recall it was, in his speech at the Annual Dinner recently, 1/2 of it about himself & the 2nd 1/2 about Grace being "the future of the law in Australia etc " , of course we are extremely Proud of her progress from basic Primary School to now & who wouldn't be?

:rulez: CRIPES!

Now where is her Ph.Number, that bloody Painter was taking the **** & needs looking at.

Are you blonde & curvaceous ?




Thank you Ian, it means a lot to me. No kid.[smilebigeye]

So many things surround me in every room it seems difficult not to be reminded of her each time.
Many have suffered greater losses than yours truly but I guess it will get easier as time rolls on & my/our youngest Daughter doesn't bankrupt me in the meantime.[bawl]

[V8Ian]

Are you blonde & curvaceous ?

I could be anything you want, over the phone. [wink11]

Here is a 54 year old gran from Brazil. I'm not aware if she planks, or not?

It's over six years now, and I still get blindsided by the most trivial things. The blows are softer though.

I don't agree with the first sentiment. Loss and grief are the same, regardless, they are yours, and they cannot be compared. But, it will get easier with time. But grief isn't a task you complete, it is a constant companion. Sometimes it's louder than others is all.

[Hogarthde]

My condolences Des.

Sincerely Dave

[DieselDan]

Hi 4bee

I'm not blonde or curvaceous either but can only offer words of condolences anyway!
Sorry for your loss.

I reckon I can still beat her in my version of a "reverse plank" which is when I lie on my back for hours.

Changing one's eating / exercising pattern is difficult, more so when not so young.... we've had tooo many years working hard at the wrong way...
