Yes thats so true Phoenix. I think Churchill had bad days he called his black dog days was it?  I try to keep my head down on days that I feel low, doesn't always work but I just know I will misunderstand someone or something, I seem to get very touchy on those days, that is when my books take over, I just curl up with them.

thats a vole Smiler lol...its a  sort of net curtain for windows, its a light floaty kind of material you can get it in all sorts of colours.

I had one of those for years and it was bent and shaped to my hand and the way I held it. I've never felt comfortable with one since that bit the dust.

Hi Chris,  lucky escape there ??  Who would have cleaned up The blood ---- afterwards ?

Thankfully the blade entered a fleshy part of my stomach and back then I was a very fit person (Lifestyle), and the blade went between the muscles on the six pack (Oh yes I had one), today it is a family pack,lol. The blade only went in about two and a half inches (story of my life) and I was able to get medical assitance over the phone as she was dragged of with her Phyco proffesor from the local nutters hospital. Four stitches later and a days rest I was okay. All these years on though she is still taking the upper and downers to keep her sane, well that is according to our Daughters last report.
