Thank you for the encouragement. I guess I was a bit worried, but it was only 1 post that was querying the possibility of causing pain, and other posts seemed to take me as just trying to bring a smile to faces often scrunched up with misery. God knows I have been there before, and have looked in the mirror in horror. "I am turning into a bloody Cabbage Patch doll, Ahhhhhhh!!!!
Blame it on my Aussie humour, passed down from Scots and Irish ancestors, some who came here to face a bare land and needed a weird sense of humour to keep going.
And I thank God for it.
We have a possible cyclone hovering around right now, so I have been busy putting any stuff away safely, so it doesn't start flying round the place. ABF asked if I was going to rake up all the fallen leaves, but I said "no, let the wind do it for me".
I have decided that if abf "relapses", I will be using Merle Haggard's song "I threw away the rose" as my ringtone for him. He plays it often, and says it describes him so well.
At the moment his calls come thru as "one day at a time". And it is.
God bless
