It's all been very quiet here in the forum. Hope everyone is OK. This link was sent to me by a buddy from Combat Stress, I have kept it and when I feel like it's a bad day I sit and watch this and get on with the day. The gift of life is too precious to waste wondering, why me.

Hi Pops, Glad your feeling better. Have some contact with Tom on facebook, he had to move house, so I expect it will take a bit of time to sort things out. Taffy has been in the forum, no doubt he will reply to you in person.
Take care
Peter

Hi Pops sorry to hear about your needed op - hope all goes well with recovery!
As an extra to what Peter said - Taffy was able, with the help of a dear friend, to come to an event FLOW and TAS ran in Cardiff Castle (see forthcoming events and our news posts for more info) where my husband read two of his poems to an appreciative audience - you take good care,
Jan

Well pops, it could be worse.

on the local news there was an article about a women who was also told she had kidney stones... turns out after a blood test, she was actualy pregnant, not only that but 8 months pregnant, not only that but she was told she couldnt have kids. Not only that but two days after being told she went into labour.

I bet passing Yellowstone sized bolders through a hole small enough to exclude grains of sand dont seem so bad now ehh? :)

(Ignoring all the fun above, I hope it goes well Pops, I have been told how bad stones can be)

Hi all,

Thanks for the thoughts.

Now can someone help this dummy?

The other night I was watching a weekly show about proving if films from sightings are real or fake and the crew went to England to do some research on a sighting and passed through a town (I think they said Stratford but not sure ) there was a strange designed building they passed, and I was trying to find out what it was wanted to see if I could find out more about it, no real reason just always courious about new things ( it was all glass and shaped like a small bullet, as it went up and tappered to a rounded point at the top (no rooof, sides just tappered to a point)).

If anyone knows what this building is called or any information on it please let me know.

Thanks


HAVE A GREAT DAY
