never really like lumps of meat - only really ate mince etc.. , then the BSE scare was really in papers, plus some one where I worked kept putting up lots of propoganda by the photocopier - so would read it when stuck there!! It was just a natural progression. Dont really think I could kill an animal so ... But my kids are blatant carnivores - as are the hounds!! |

Wow International children, they are very lucky...My parents always say they will do stuff with the kids but I have to prompt them and remind them constantly which is rubbish, my mum even told me she found my middle child *difficult and clingy*(which she isnt at all?) :( my folks visit my brothers house every week but my sister has to invite them to hers with a red carpet and gold plated invite, families are weird.:blink: Any way looks like the stalker is coming for tea:rofl: so the kids can tidy up for me...I wonder how long it will take before they decide they're not bored any more:eek: |

and was thinking more of Jaws - duh duh, duh duh, duh duh, duh duh, da de da!!! Myeloma - it is a cancer of the plasma cell - so effectively you could call it a bone marrow cancer.... Call me mean...(OH felt same), but as she told us in the new year...I don't know if she was doing the reverse psychology thing, but if so it backfired on her...she said "I know you have plans, don't let this change them" (OH is eldest of 3). We talked and I put my stake in the ground from the off (CP- see what I mean - something has happened to me this year) and said I am not prepared to give up on the dream for our children to have a better life...I was very lucky because he felt the same way too. Its funny - we were both bought up very differently in some respects, but in otherways, we both hate the same things about how we were bought up! |

I agree with you, you cant give up on your dream for any one or anything. I know its not the same but my sis thought we'd stay when she told us she was pregnant again, and i'm of the opinion that i'm opening doors for them as well as my family..... Its up to them to take hold of the handle, so we're going.... whatever! |
