A Cornishman lay dying in his bed. While suffering the agonies
of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of pasties wafting up
the stairs.
He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the
bed. Leaning on the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and
with even greater effort, gripping the railing with both hands, he
crawled downstairs. With laboured breath, he leaned against the
doorframe, gazing into the kitchen.
Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself
already in heaven, for there, spread out upon waxed paper on the kitchen
table were literally hundreds of pasties .
Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of love from his devoted
wife of sixty years, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?
Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself towards the
table, landing on his knees in rumpled posture. His aged and withered
hand trembled towards a pasty at the edge of the table, when it was
suddenly smacked by his wife with a spatula.......................















" Bu@@er off" she said, "they're for the funeral."

I remember reading your earlier thread as well Gwen and have always admired you for the spirit you've shown. You go to meets and have a good time,.
Keep on enjoying life in your own way and anything that makes you happy.

Who was it said "when you're on your back in the gutter,you're looking at the Stars"? ;O))

Thanks Ann!

Gwen, I just cannot see what the problem is that this friend of yours has. Why is it so awful for her? You are the one that is dealing with your PD!

So like everyone says, you carry on, enjoy yourself and entertain us too!

anyone know the world record for most people sitting in a gutter?!

Gwen, I would be more than happy to sit in the gutter (or anywhere else) with you.

Some people can be cruel because ,i think, they are often scared...
they don't know how
to cope with either the 'dis-ability they
see or the thought that it might happen
to them.

"Lead with your chin" as my mum used
to say....you have good friends here!

Good morning! I noticed you were talking about bums and I just wanted to say that yesterday I found out that mine could get into size 14 jeans in M&S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you get a veritable parade of lovely bottoms going past you in the sunshine!

I am taking my teeny tiny bottom down to the kitchen for a cup of tea.
