Ouch Vonny that must have hurt - are you ok?
I had a bad head the other day - eventually crawled back to bed and slept like a babe - I guess I'm lucky - having had my children early and now being as they say - a bit on the elderly side (bless!) I now have no real responsibility to sorting out their daily routine - I get up at 7am make my daughter her breakfast and her lunch - see her off to the bus, and then the day is mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Although there are days when I don't talk to a "real" person - ie someone outside the family and not the cats! Son lives with his girlfriend and her parents - at 21 I don't think he really thinks living at home has any merits!! (too right - especially when he wont pay anything towards rent!)
Anyhow - Vonny - hope your head is less painful now and that your car isn't too damaged - and a lesson from me - don't ever lend your offspring your car just after they have passed their test..... unless you want it back in pieces!

Indeed ... my son ( in the days when he was still talking to me) once sent me a b'day card with , on the front " You're as old as you feel" , and inside " and you feel lovely!".
Did Jude mention she has MS in another post - horrible illness, but she sounds v. brave about it. Must say that this forum also give me a much-needed daily chuckle, and sod the time-wasting !
Juie sent me mail about a get-together, but I never get over to the South - only to the 'pool to see Lovely Laura

Yes she did, didn't want to mention it in case I was imagining it.
Perhaps I should have said, "You are as old as you THINK you feel".
YOur son sounds lovely, I have 2 like that, and a cuddly daughter too who just recently said, "Why do people send birthday cards with horrible jokes about how old you are?"

Re. Lovely Son : ah, yes, but he also says think like " Mother , when are you going to start acting like an adult ?" ( I start when I'm dead - eternity lasts a long time...) or " Mother is like a lovely house with landscaped gardens - all the lights are on, but there's nobody home..." ( ouch) or, the best : " I can never talk to you seriously about anything ... " ( we were discussing whether he should dye his hair orange or silver, and I'm afraid I lost it...)
At the moment, he isn't talking to me at all, which is perhaps just as well... but my Laura is a joy, so not all is lost ! ( but she also opines that her Mum is an overgrown adolescent )

Depends if he is blond or brunet. Silver is nice.Euterpe13 wrote:Re. Lovely Son : ah, yes, but he also says think like " Mother , when are you going to start acting like an adult ?"

Mine was going to go blond for £50, Green for £100 and bald for £200 for Children in Need but chickened out.

His natural colour is a lovely dark chestnut.... and since he couldn't decide ( and I didn't dare comment again ) - we had orange ( and I mean nasturtium here ) , followed by metallic silver..... along with green contact lenses on his brown eyes... ho hum

I have a carrot top nephew, who was blond at last meeting.
Own son was very Goth. When he was 14 I arranged for him to go to a Marilyn Manson concert with a friend of mine who did not know him.
Friend said "How will I know him?" expecting a little boy.
" He will look as if he is going to a M M concert"
5'11', white face, black eyes, black lips, black hair. Black leather jacket, black combat trousers and boots.
Looks a little more normal now though he does have long hair (usually in a ponytail)
