Not John McCormack,no,the late,wonderful,Derek McCormack who was the lead singer with Barleycorn.Now there is a voice to tear your heart out.

We went to Drogheda to lay flowers on his grave.

Have a look on You-Tube at Barleycorn and see what it does for you.

I think music can sometimes be the best therapy of all when you are down.When my dad had his batty woman in I used to play Derek McCormack's CD (he only ever made the one on his own) and it kept her a lot more easy to control,like we were not up and down the road after her all day.Only most of it.

I WROTE SOME WORDS FROM LONG AGO

THE DRAGON,,ITS ON HERE
XXXXXXXXX

Thank you Ann. Yes, I do need to talk about to my 'problem' to someone'. Can't say who I can trust enough, to lay my terrible problems on their shoulders.

Luke Kelly would have been 68 this monday-17th november. Have worn green all this week, in his memory. His songs break my heart.
All his songs touch me,maybe they will you?

Eileen, there are people on here I am sure you can trust. I know you can trust me, but you have to know it yourself. Nothing can be that bad that somebody on here can't help I am positive. Please do talk to somebody. Sometime sad music is therapeutic because it brings the tears and the tears are cleansing, but talking it out helps too.

Dizzi, can you repeat the poem on here, I read it on your thread but others on here may not have.

Ann no more, he didn't go into the detail of that!!

Dizzi can you put your poem on here please?

Eileen I can't get you out of my head today. xx

Kathy your story of the old folks and the chairs brought a smile :o)) xxx

Ann, yes there are enough people who will listen to my terrible dilemma, am not scared of this. The big problem is inside of me. I am not used to unburdening myself, as those very close to me know.Wish I was different!!!!. I will p.m you soon though.Not tomorrow, as I have to be in Amserdam fairly early. The wierd stairs at daugher S's home give me the willy's.No hand rails at all. I tried to talk about this, but she doe'n't find this a problem!!! everyone else can climb them, no problem. Yeah!
Music has ben a great solace for years on end.
Sharron, have p.m'd you.

xx all of your.

Hello all. Soz so many of you have been having a bad time of it.

~~Y/Caz have pm you, and remember to get plenty of rest. Glad it wasn't as bad as you though it would be. Hope my appt on the 3rd goes as quick;y as you lol

Don't imagine it will though, as the pre op assessments take longer than the surgery pmsl

Not staying on tonight as my legs and back are very sore, so will bid you all a very good night, and hope you'll manage to have a good sleep.

Carole, You can maybe put any headache down to thinking of me in the future. Grand excuse!'

By kind permision of Gwen (Dizzy)

whoops! Dizzy already put it here xxx

Carole. thought I was seeing double there.

Eileen, you know you can PM me any time. I will however be away Saturday and Sunday, I don't want you to think I am ignoring you. I am sure once you write it all down to someone it will be easier than you think. Hope all goes well in Amsterdam. We used to have stairs without a bannister. it is fine if you stay by the wall. The children will have no fear because they don't know any different.

Well,we have had one up and downer this evening.The old man had been out for lunch where he was made a fuss of.He came home where we gave him his presents because his mate won't be here on Sunday.

Looked interested in the ones his mate gave him.Mine were neither here nor there.Then he brushed me away.Wrong move! I did explain the error of his ways to him in no uncertain terms.

I went out for about an hour.When I came home the carers had been and put him in bed.He apologised to me.So he bloody well should!

Sorry but if he wants to have gentle loving sick persons care he is in the wrong house.It would have killed him by now.If he wants to live as normally as possible he takes the rough edge of my tongue like anybody else.

I did call him pond life.Bet nobody admires me now!

You were probably entitled Sharron. He had obviously been fussed over and expected the same from you, having a short memory. still, he apologised so must have realised he was wrong. It is another day tomorrow.

ann

Sharron your tongue says what your head thinks. Your dad knows that by now! Better than giving a load of bull in my book. xx

He knows it better now.

You would think that somebody who can go no further than the length of their bed without some assistance would be a bit careful how they deal with the person who generally has to give that assistance.

It was an electric tin opener he had from us.Most tins now have a ring pull.The one I used to demonstrate was what I thought was a tin of tuna which the cat could have.

As I washed up the tin for recycling I noticed that it was not tuna at all.The cat had had red salmon.Still it's an ill wind.

Evening everyone.
YorkshireCaz..Hope your feeling a little better,I have not pmd ,as i did not want you to feel you had too back.will pm you soon.xx

I have just been for a chinese meal with my youngest sister...I never go out usually but tomorrow is my Brothers anniversary of his death..
