Master Obit 832 Posted November 2 On 27/10/2024 at 10:37, Master Obit said: Got a date this Friday with who I would tentatively describe as the ideal man for me. Didn't think I had a chance in hell of scoring him so I was somewhat astonished when he actually made the first move on me, and was all the more keen on my suggestion we go out. I don't think I've ever liked anyone this strongly before (it's at least as much as mango likes Jimmy Carter), and if I could keep him then I think I'd be very contented with life. I've had a fair few things to deal with this last year so to finally find love would be a happy ending. In case anyone here was remotely curious about how this worked out, I am pleased to report it has gone very well. Date #2 to be arranged soon. 12 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,151 Posted November 7 I am feeling awful because I just killed a barn owl It was sitting in the middle of the road facing away from me and it just looked like a piece of litter. At the last second it turned to face me and I saw what it was, but it was far too late to avoid it. So sad. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Contrary to my neurologist's expectations, this tumor has grown a little bit, but is still very small and still does not cause any problems to me. A couple of months ago we discussed my latest MRI, my neurologist suggested surgery to me and I agreed. I will undergo surgery (craniotomy) next month. Just thought I'd mention, I might talk a bit more about this if anyone has questions on the surgery, etc. Tumor removed and they told me it was non-malignant. Post-surgery ICU was an...experience with the stablizing my BP etc, but I was not in much pain and felt safe having nurses in the same room 24/7. Worst part might've been having the cannulas, catheter and other stuff removed. In the next bed there was a 70-something woman who'd had a more dangerous tumor (meningioma) removed and got out of ICU (and out of hospital) before me, and even asked the nurses if the other patients are okay. Standard hospital room was much more "boring" but tricked me into getting up and walking around. I'm out of hospital now, left with a gnarly scar with around 20 staples, slight occasional dizziness, back pain, a pair of hospital socks etc...hoping I won't get any complications. Thank you all who wished me well. 11 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master Obit 832 Posted November 17 It's a minor irritance, but is there any chance that the block on sending a couple of messages/PMs in short succession could be relaxed for established members? I get that it's there to stop spambots, but surely it could be removed for people who are clearly established members (maybe a minimum of 100 posts over at least 3 months)? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThereWillBeDeaths7 746 Posted Thursday at 12:38 Some happy news I want to share with all of you: about two months ago, my wife and I became parents for the first time. Our son is in good health and growing well, just as my wife has recovered well from giving birth. Our daily lives have changed massively, but we're lucky enough to have lots of loved ones who are there for us in these changing times. We're both completely in love with our boy, and it's great to see him learn new things. 8 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
