If thats the sort of thing you are going to help me write then I wish I hadnt asked or told you,you old witch.

Off my christmas card list you are,but I shall prob send a New year card just to keep in to get the help required to make me look as though I know what Im talking about.


CWTCH also has another meaning in the welsh language.
It is used to tell a dog to get to its Kennel/bed.

Cer i cwtch cwn !! (get to your kennel dog)

My welsh spelling probably leaves more to be desired than my English ,but there you are.
viv;:)

Just sending you a little wave ~ Janey I had a bit of eye trouble last year never before in my life have I any bother with my eyes, I left it about 2 weeks and was sent by my boss as she was stick of seeing me with one hand over my eye trying to focus on my screen ( yes I ignored it as you do :) ) I went straight to the optision who refered me straight to the eye hospital was sorted but a bit scary.....

Janey..im sending you a (((((hug)))) & i don't care if you don't do them but...


This is for my friend Debs (((((((((((((((((((((((((((hug))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Re hugs Janey, it sounds like you fell into the clutches of those 'pat-ie arm-ie ' types , as my mum used to call them...those who get into your personal space uninvited and definitely unwanted and just have to touch ;) But there are other 'huggers' , those from whom a hug is elemental , a giving of their strength and warmth and they are just the best :))

I have Reynards Disease too Janie, fingers turning numb and white. As you say, there are many more less fortunate than us.

"I see" you've been through a fair trial. I hate people poking around my eyes.

Wouldn't worry about the smoking though - my OH and I saw an old geezer parked next to us, puffing away and I said to my hubby "I should have taken up smoking, maybe I'd be healthier" - at 41 years of age, I'm battling an apparently rare and aggressive breast cancer that has spread to my liver and spine and a month ago we discovered a whole heap in my stomach - which is also rare - breast cancer spreading to the stomach. The Oncologists are scratching their heads and meanwhile - I'm tired of being *special.* !!

Hope things improve for you though.

I don't do hugs either!!

I can offer, commisseration, consolation, empathy, sympathy, compassion, understanding and any other words of the same meaning you would like to find in your thesaurus.

I offer conversation if you ever need to let off steam. Any time providing I'm not asleep.

I will allow you to whinge to your heart's content without being judgemental and without biting. Unless you become too flaming whingy then that might be a different matter.

I am amazed at your fortitude and forebearance and your courage in the face of such adversity.

And if you are now rolling around on the floor piddling yourself laughing at this literary piece of flowery platitudes, excellent, I've succeeded.

Awww, that was just Viv giving me a hug.

Now, which eye is it that has to dodge that last one ...

Even one eyed witches are entitled to a hug from time to time Vivienne.

Leaves a big ((((((((((((((((hug))))))))))))))))) for Janey & her one eye.

You'd almost think I'd posted this so I'd get huggggs, wouldncha?

Truth, I truly do hate hugs. I used to share office space with some kinda alternative types (I was too, an alternative type lawyer, but they were like massage-y alternative types), and a couple of them would hug me on purpose every time they saw me just to watch me cringe.

Diane, how about a little nibble in return? not with the canines. ;)

Susan with etc. - you're right, I don't (finally) get my H1N1 shot until Tuesday. Didn't have time when I was there on Thurs, because I have to lurk around for a half hour, just in case I actually am allergic to the egg in the serum ... and decide to swell up and die ...


Whining really does have therapeutic value, you know! I'm a firm believer. ;)

Well yer not getting a hug from me Janey.....I sure don't want to catch what you have....no way...no siree

I can bite from a distance, you. ;)

Ah, the arrogance of the young.....er. They think it will not happen to them!

No cataracts, no teeth that break when you eat a nice soft milk choccie bar, no suddenly finding yourself faced with a GP named Kara or Kylie who must have been in kindergarten when you were ... well, wherever you spent your misspent 30s ...

It will! And that is our revenge. ;)

cwtches=welsh for hugs.

Which you will not get from me,
I am now looking for the sick bag after all this attention seeking,sympathy gushing slop you appear to be soliciting from all and sundry.

One eyed old witches such as yourself only deserve the rough end of peoples tongues,not tea and sympathy.

No.... I'll go and google it in a minute to prove it... cwtches are Welsh Granny Hugs........ the very best sort!!

See you in an hour or three... I always get sidetracked when I google, lol

Love

Suspicious paranoid that I am ... you're sure that

((((cwtches))))

doesn't have something to do with that itching powder stuff being talked about over on General??

It's true, there is particular horror associated with eyes and eyesight. (I should have had a thought for the poor reader before carrying on about it all, shouldn't I?!)

That's why I was so concerned that the new lens in the bad eye not leave me unable to read w/o glasses. Being somewhere alone, not able to read the printed word - it would be like being illiterate, the unfortunate souls who say "I forgot my glasses" when they have never been taught to read. Isolated.

Even that doesn't seem to have worked, although when all you can see properly is
\
it's kinda hard to tell. ;)

Fortunately, the left eye, the one that was uneventful, is set at perfect distance for the computer monitor! Fortunately for whom, hmm ...

But it ain't life-threatening. Unless I stop being extra careful about figuring out how far away those cars are when I'm jaywalking. ;)

You pay the £1000 insurance to get me over there.... and I'll hug you in person.... I can, of course, throw you to the ground in one swift movement (as long as my rheumatoid arthritis isn't playing up) if you should try to bite me... I did work with adults with very challenging behaviours, lol ;¬))

Love

Daff xxxx

I am sooooo not going to whine.... I still have my nose pressed to the ruddy medical dictionary trying to work out all the stuff you've been poked around with.... then I shall decide whether you have an *aw, bless (((hugs))))* or the full works.... aw bless, (((((hugs))))) ((((cwtches)))) (more powerful than hugs... ancient Welsh Witchery) and half a dozen candles lit for you and an all night vigil by yours truly (I will, of course, save that for a night when I can't sleep anyway... it will save time and energy)

What I will say is... I would rather have my Hickman line, and al the drugs and stuff going through that... and my sicky drug driver to stop the sickness... any day, than have people poking around with my eyes... one of my nasty drug reactions was neurological damage which affected my eyesight for a while.... they weren't sure how much would come back... but that is what I feared more than anything... I am, happily, ok now, with a new eye prescription...


So sod you, Janey ((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))) xxxxxxxx ((((((((cwtches)))))))))) and am off to light you a candle!! For you this time, not your mum and sister ((((((hugs to them, too)))))))

Love

Daff xxxx

Such brave folk, hugging a peevish grumpy person. ;)

(Then there are the less brave, doing it by PM!)

Doesn't anybody have anything they want to whine about??

We could start on teeth ... but I'd rather not ... I'm with Rose, teeth and eyes, stay away from 'em.

Rose: get your dentist to introduce you to Ativan. The intake nurse for my last surgery also instructed me to demand my Ativan when I walked in the door on the day of surgery. So I did. They insisted on taking my bp etc. first, but then they got on it. Since I was going to keep yapping about it until I got it. Staying up all night the night before works too. No sleep + Ativan leads to a nap in the surgery waiting room for the two hours you wait while they give you all the drops before eye surgery, and being much more receptive to the sedative during. ;)
