How are the camping preparations going then?

Cos it's obviously long trek through the house and the door

Yeah, they're already out there, screaming about the senile Siamese cat of mine trying to pick his way through the tent screens.

I'd better go.

I think it's kinda sweet a parent camping in the yard with their children. It's great being a kid and having a grown-up to look after you. *Sniff*

And yet, you continue to remain on BnB. Must... post... message...

This Siamese cat of yours... what's his problem? A tent screen too alluring for him, it it?

Well, we survived the night outdoors. I got kicked in the back all night long by my youngest, while the oldest gently snored on the other side of her.

I woke up around 4:30 to the sound of some owls hooting. It was quite nice for a few minutes, until the crazy roosters across the street freaked out and started crowing. Rooster man is long gone, yet his legacy remains.

God, I've not heard of him for a while now...

You should put a permanent end to those roosters. Go on, it'll make you feel better

What's wrong with Ranjit-Pasqual?

They should choose something that sounds funny in both languages. Then everyone's a winner!

Uncle Nils!

If this is the same brother who taught in NC for awhile, I'll bet he's REALLY glad to be in London now, and NOT Rocky Mt.!

Why can't I sleep?! Just when I think I can get to sleep, this board pulls me back in! :shock:

Wow, it's not far from sunrise for you, either.

BnB-induced insomnia? That's a new one. Are the girlie pics threads keeping you up?

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 20 Jun 2006, 04:33

The sun rose a little while ago. Those birds twittering aren't helping matters.

I think it's just regular insomnia, with me seeking refuge on the forum now because I'm bored of staring at the ceiling.
As for the girlie threads, nah, I was done with them ages ago... er...

Or: the girlie pics threads keeping me up? Nah, not anymore

*Apply a 'Badum-tish!' to whichever you think is the funniest.

grandad has the beginnings of alzheimers, though hes been going slightly senile over the years, we put it down to gerneal ocnfusion that comes with age...but these last weeks he rapidly deteriorated, didnt really recognize us yesterday when we went to visit him. his home is a real state, although we go up and clean it for him when we can, he cant look after himself much anymore, and has the shakes, major confusion, basically he doesnt know wether hes coming or going half the time. he still kinda understands what your saying but not that much.

the sad thing is that he couldnt live with us since we couldnt care for him, we already care for my disabled dad, and well my health isnt perfect either, so my mum couldnt cope with all 3 of us, plus hes getting increasingly agitated and upset, which as i remember from alzheimers often turns into violence, we just couldnt cope with this, it looks like hes gonna have to go into a care home, even though we hate these places since they are pretty shit and dont really give a fuck about the people there.

waiting for his other "son" (were all kinda his adopted family since he has no biological family left) to come up from plymouth and were gonna talk about it then. gonna get the doctor to admit him to the hospital for a couple of days if we can becuase hes eating a bunch of mouldy or raw food (he thinks he cooked stuff but he hasnt, raw chicken, mouldy cheese, he really doesnt know what hes eating) and hes quite ill, but refuses help..

man, aside from that my brother in laws father has terminal cancer, of well, everywhere, lungs, aorta, glands. so that sucks too.

ok thinks are really beginning to suck more than ever lol, lets hope next month is better :\

Everyone, meet Byung-Gi:

700 grams, 2 1/2 months.
Found him in a nearby dumpster.

He loves to scratch things and doesn't really know what a cat toilet is, but he'll learn soon enough.

Awww... cute

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 21 Jun 2006, 11:02

Jeez I feel awful, probably a tummy bug or something

Was fine when I arrived home after the game at about 10pm, went to sleep after MOTD, was still OK, by about 2am I had terrible stomach pains and kept on being sick - yuk

Could be something I ate (I doubt it was drinking).
Not happy.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 21 Jun 2006, 12:43

Be well soon.

What is MOTD?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 21 Jun 2006, 12:46

Danke, LD.
MOTD = Match of the Day.
Must have been something I ate, I wouldnt be feeling like this after a measly 2/3 beers, especially 13/14 hours ago

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 21 Jun 2006, 13:05

That game made everyone who watched it sick.

Hope you feel better soon, Grim

You should try eating some unions with bananas and milk...
or some chocolate with green beans and fanta...
or perhaps some peanuts, with strawberry icecream and icetea... plus some eggs.

Are you feeling better yet, Grim!?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 21 Jun 2006, 13:10

LOL, not really

Thanks though

Maybe if England had won I'd feel better
