It's getting more and more frequent. His health has deteriorated over the last few years.

Just glad he's ok.

He just collapsed off his chair.

..are you going to go and visit him tomorrow Glenn or will he come home, did they say..?..

[Glenn.]

He'll be in for a couple of days at least.

He has COPD so they need to monitor it caused from years and years of smoking. He still smokes even now which is making it worse but I think the way he sees it as, the damage is done now.

..he's in the best place for him, Glenn and I know the smoking thing must be a worry to you but if he's smoked for many years then he'll probably be miserable if he gave it up and that wouldn't be good for his health either...these grandparents are such a worry, I know..they're also often a bit stubborn as well...all you can do is just give him a big hug when you see him...:hug:..

Morning

[Kate!]

I'd like to make a an appreciation post about Ammi. Don't want to make an actual thread although she deserves one, cos that'd make it kind of about me and it's not. Ammi. You're a lovely lady, and thank you so much for talking to me in the early hours when I needed an ear. :hug:

You're a true friend.

[Glenn.]

Morning

[Kate!]

Hey Glenn

Any news from the hospital?

[Jack.]

Morning all :)

[Glenn.]

They're feeding him up because he's not eaten properly in 2 weeks. He's been put on steroids and they help with his appetite. He's in good spirits.

Morning Ammi! :love:

[Ammi]

..Jess..:love:...did you feed your hunger..(games)..see what I did there..:laugh:...you ok this morning, are you still having problems sleeping..?...

[Jessica.]

Yes I ate a pile of food! :amazed: I am pretty good today, just been playing a game with my bf for a while. I slept for most of the evening again yeah, it's so annoying, hopefully it will even out a bit soon enough. D: How are you today?

[Ammi]

..awww, it's amazing really that you live so far away from each other and you can still do things together online..ain't technology grand..:lovedup:...it's kind of squashed the world up to be a much smaller place...yeah, I'm cool thanks Jess, just not really fully woken up yet...oh and I made chocolate brownies yesterday, I've now moved on from my hopeless status to being semi-domesticated/bordering on genius...:amazed:...

[Ammi]

Yeah, I know what you mean, it's amazing but not ideal. :joker: I would hoover up a chocolate brownie right now! :shocked: I have all of the kids easter eggs in my room and my nephews Aero bubbles one is peeping out and taunting me. :bawling: I don't think you were ever hopeless. :nono: You are a domestic goddess. :amazed:

..no, it's not the same as seeing him..only seeing him is the same as seeing him but it keeps a better connection in between the times that you're together..back in the day, before we were married, my OH worked and lived in another part of the country to me and we would talk on the phone for hours each day but parents could get a bit funny about it because of how much the calls were costing with it being long distance..all I can say Jess is that it was all well worth the wait until we could be together permanently...and the times you do get to see each other are just incredible, eh..?..

..oh, I don't know what to do for Easter yet, I have these coloured cardboard egg things which I fill up every year for the boys and their girlfriends and it's mostly chocolate stuff but I'm thinking that this year I would like to fill them with something different/more useful, it's just thinking what to put in because it has to be quite small things to fit...hmmmmm...

[Kate!]

Hello

[Ammi]

..Kit Kat Kate...:love:..how are you this morning..?..

[AnnieK]

Morning.

[Kate!]

Not good Ammi

[Ammi]

Morning.


..morning Annie..:love:..

Not good Ammi

..hang on just a sec...

[AnnieK]

How are you Ammi?

[Ammi]

..I'm good thanks Annie, I've actually had a busy weekend so far which is unusual for me..I even had a couple of cheeky cocktails on Friday evening..:blushsmiley:..I have no idea what was in them but they were blue and quite pleasant actually...I'm going to slow it down a bit today though because I think I might have overdone it...are you ok, what do you have planned for today..?...

[AnnieK]

Ooh Ammi...they sound nice. :love:

Not sure about today, we were busy yesterday helping the family at my grandads and it's miserable weather wise here today so we may just have a day of games, baking etc and movies.

[Ammi]

..is there a lot to sort out at your granddads Annie..is it all done now..?...one of the good things is that Matthew is a little young to fully understand it although he obviously can 'feel' things and must be a little confused...mind you, extra hugs for him will be something that does you good as well...

[reece(:]

Morning all, can't believe I'm still up... been on hours trying to teach myself to make HQ gifs. :o

[Jake.]

I feel rough

[Ammi]

..I wouldn't even know where to start making a gif Reece, you'll have to teach me your skills..:amazed:...


..was it a night out Jake..?..:hug:...

[Jake.]

Yeah, went to the pub and now i'm paying for it lol

[Ammi]

Yeah, went to the pub and now i'm paying for it lol

..well you should have paid while you were at the pub, the police are probably looking for you..:fist:...


..awww, seriously though that sucks..and you have work..?...I know it won't help atm but if you drink as much water as you can and maybe try a few dry biscuits or toast or something, it'll probably settle in a few hours...poor Jake..:sad:...

[Ammi]

There's a fair amount....we were looking for the deeds to the house as the probate people need them. He and my nan were the tidiest hoarders I've ever come across. They have kept every newspaper clipping, birthday card, Christmas card they have ever got from any of us, including my dad and uncle so it's slow going as its so interesting :love: And so sad....my grandad was one of those men who always wore a shirt and tie even just to sit in the house...he must have had a hundred ties :love:

Matthew is fine, he knows that great grandad has died, but keeps saying he is going to come back on an aeroplane when he's better...bless. We've finally been able to arrange the funeral though.

[Ammi]

I've been on about half an hour trying to find the crop...this might be a long process :p

..that darn slippery crop, Reece..:fist:..(I have no idea what a crop is..)...just wait until you can do it though, the feeling will be so great that you'll forget all the frustrations of trying to get there...we expect gifs of greatness Reece, the likes of which TiBB has only ever dreamt of in the past...

...I always aspire to tidiness but never quite fully achieve it and envy people who do, I love looking through old photos and letters etc, I think that why I also get distracted from my tidy campaigns because I have to look at them all...my dad loved ties/cravats as well, I kept lots of them when he died and wear them when I'm feeling a little low..I don't really care what they look like on me..:laugh:...aww, Matthew..:love:...it's just one of the wonderful things about children that they don't understand these things fully and nor should they...

...when is the funeral, Annie..?...

Yes maybe younger people worry it means they will
get the wrong repercussion

..yeah, you can kind of see both sides of it because although it's disturbing that a young child could be lost and no one offer help, if a stranger were to approach the child with genuine concern..(and maybe especially more so a male..)...that could be misconstrued in devastating ways...and maybe that's become the primary thought for many people...it's sad also because there are relatively few people who would have sinister intentions but the media often portrays otherwise...

She said she will take legal action if she is featured
in any way

Ammi,did you ever hear of the Liverpool 38? 38!!! people saw James Bulger in distress,one woman even saw him upset and drew her curtains ,one woman stopped them as James was crying only to be told he was their brother and they were right by a police station,one woman was going to take him there but another one would not hold her dog while she took him!! this happened all through his journey,IF someone had just intervened this tragedy may never have happened,so imo,I would intervene whether someone liked it or not,best err on the side of caution tbh.

..I knew there was a lot of people who had witnessed him being taken but I wasn't aware of the Liverpool 38..it's funny because I was thinking about James the other day in a thread about Madeleine McCann and the difference between leaving children unattended for several hours and taking your eyes off them for moments, which is all it takes for an abduction to take place...obviously what happened to James shocked a world and especially parents who knew the same thing could have easily happened to them and their own child...anyway, I think I'm getting off the subject..yes I agree, now I would always help but for the Liverpool 38..?...I don't think that it would have ever occurred to me that 'children' could have been so evil, so I'm not really sure if I would have felt assistance was needed...

[Kazanne]

jeez, I never knew that, that's awful Kazanne :(

All true Niamh,even a lorry driver failed to stop when one of the scum bags gave James a kick! absolutely tragic,how haunted would these people feel now.

..so they were abusing him as they dragged him away, I never knew that, Kaz...

[Niamh.]

Ugh I hate even thinking about that case, it's so horrific, probably the worst one I can remember of our time

[Kazanne]

There's a lot of things that people don't know about it ammi,when the woman with the dog stopped them she asked if he was allright as he had a bump on his head and was upset,and now I am upset,this always starts me off,but I was just highlighting the importance of stopping and being nosey if you have to,it might save someones life.

[Kazanne]

Definitely Niamh,his injuries were horrific and the scum still free to roam this earth.I can believe people passed those two kids as that seems to be our society,too busy,too rushed and too scared.

[Ammi]

..yeah, I don't recall up until then another high profile case of such young people doing something like that and I think the age thing was a huge shock factor for everyone....


..I remember though when my youngest was around 3yrs, he had his first tantrum in a shopping centre...it was really shocking to us because he was such a placid child and hardly ever complained about anything...anyway, there was one of those little stalls that sell sweets..you know the thing..?...and it had these huge gobstoppers, they were all swirled with colours like a rainbow and he wanted one...the stupid thing is that it wouldn't even have fitted into his mouth because they were like tennis balls but maybe he wanted to throw it or kick it or something, which didn't seem like a good idea to me...anyway, he had the hugest of tantrums and kept running off and screaming and 'fighting' us when we tried to calm him...so in the end, I had to literally just 'pull' him through the shopping centre and back to the car and people looked but they said nothing...and even a security guard just walked by and smiled at me but didn't intervene...I was glad they didn't in a way because I was so devastated by what was happening and just wanted to get my son somewhere quieter where I could try to calm him but what if I had been abducting him..?....

..yeah, you're absolutely right Kaz, people should never feel afraid to intervene and I was thinking that before James, people would have maybe not thought children capable of what they did or anything at all sinister and maybe that's why they did nothing... but I didn't know that he already showed signs of injury though....

[Kazanne]

Nothing worse than you child having a tantrum in a shopping centre,if you tell them off you get stared at,I've always wanted to do what that woman does on that advert,get on the floor and have one myself,that would give them something to stare at:hugesmile:

[Ammi]

..yeah, I think we've all felt like doing that occasionally..:laugh:...luckily that shopping centre thing was a one off, I think the gobstoppers had some magical spell over him..one of my biggest irritations and something that really annoys me though is when you can see a 'tantrum' building up with a child because they're trying to talk to a parent and are being completely ignored and you can see the frustrations growing in them until it kind of bursts...

[Niamh.]

I actually never remember either of mine having a tantrum, I'm not sure if that's because my memory is really bad(quite possibly) or I just had perfect angels :laugh: I do remember, Luke when he was 2ish running off with my keys and just before I caught him, he threw them away and said "You're too late" lol

Anyway, it was Chicken Avocado, I like it! :amazed: It took me a while!

[Ammi]

...avocado is one of those things that never really grabbed me, not that food often grabs but you know...it's more because of the texture than anything though, textures is something I have a huge phobia about and why I don't eat meat and lots of other stuff...I imagine though that if you do like avocado, that's probably a good combination, Jess...

[Jessica.]

It was my first time trying avocado, that is why I was doubting if I liked it. It had a very creamy texture, it changed the consistency of the vegetables so I was really unsure, but then towards the end I embraced it and enjoyed it, glad it wasn't a waste of money. :joker:

I blame Ammi. Terribly bad influence on our Nat. :pipe:

..yeah, it's the creamy texture that I don't really like and avocado is a weird thing in that if you peel it and leave it even for 10 minutes or so, it just goes a horrible grey colour and doesn't look very edible at all...really weird...

..do you mean the thing about people seeming reluctant to help those children in the 'experiment'..?..I did want to make a post about it this morning but I just couldn't word the title in a way that wasn't too long, so I posted it in here instead, it would have made an interesting debate, I think...some mornings I just don't seem to be able to get my thought processes in motion...

Oh god, this young girl posted on fb that she and her bf had relations for the first time last night, why would someone announce that? :umm2:

It would, America have a whole TV show dedicated to these dilemmas, I think it's called 'what would you do?'
I have to say the account kaz gave had me in tears, and the central London location may have had a part to play in your scenario.
It would have been interesting to compare the same experiment in a few different cities?

[Ammi]

..yeah, it's strange how people think differently about what they perceive as private and what they don't...there are always Facebook discussions in the staffroom at work and it completely reassures me that not having it is the best thing...for me anyway....

..I we might have had a recent thread on that programme..?..yeah, I don't know if reactions would be 'regional', that would be interesting to see, living in a village and rural area, I can't imagine anyone to just walk by and not approach the child and help her find her mum but I do also understand a reluctance that some people might feel if they were worried that their actions could be misinterpreted....
