Insider 3,985 Report post Posted December 28, 2023 Miss Jools, you have misread me. I was sticking up for you by telling Turny Tom that he shouldn't believe any of the people [of which there have been many on this site] who have suggested that you did, because they were wrong. You have previously made that very clear and I have believed you. Now if some suggested that you may have trained as a teacher, majoring in English then I might believe that, unless you refute that too.

So, why would I want to spend all day with other peoples? "I didn't want kids of my own" kind of suggests that you didn't but ended up with some . Were these achieved under duress ? By the way I totally agree , I never wanted kids so never had any , one of my greatest pleasures in life is winding family and friends kids up and walking away . A vastly overrated pastime .

I am not a fan of abandoning meetings based on predicted weather , they done this a couple of months ago and the rain never arrived . We were under a heavy rain warning for 2 days last week and it never arrived , the forecasters just kept changing the supposed times of said weather event as the previous time periods elapsed then finally gave it up as a bad prediction , again . A bad precedent to be starting . fermoy, Pam Robson and chiknsmack 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
