Hello Brenda how are you,there was a program on with a jazz pianist and it made me think of you. I was only thinking of you a couple of weeks and wondered how our little Princess was,can not believe she is 5 already. :-D

I agree Sylvia you said years they will run this site to the ground and they have and the help is priceless as I said in my opening post, I will be forever in Londonbelles debt .

Shirley it is sad to think of these friends we have lost, I was only dreaming of BC last night and I haven't dreamed of her for a couple of years, my dream was strange I had gone to visit her it was a very strange journey. Then we were sat in her flat and she was very annoyed with me because of my shoes I looked down and I was wearing black woolly tights and these manky slippers that was all ripped and had holes in. I have no idea what all that was about :-D

At least it was a dream Madge. Years ago I walked down the road in my paint splattered slippers, by the time I realised I was over halfway to where I was going so I couldn't be bothered to turn back. In my defence they were of a style that could pass as summer shoes but I knew that I was sitting in a busy waiting room to have bloods taken - in my slippers! :-0 :-D

Do you think talk of BC on your thread prompted a dream about her - slippers can be like old friends.
:-D

Probably Island :-) from the dream dictionary

To see or wear slippers in your dream suggest that you are feeling sluggish and/or insecure. You feel that you do not have a strong foothold in some situation. Alternatively, wearing slippers represent domesticity, ease, comfort, and/or relaxation. This dream symbol may mean that you need to relax. Or you are relaxing too much and are being lazy.

as the were old and holey I think it maybe the lazy thin :-(

Madge...wow! Your memory is good.!fancy remembering about my playing jazz,which I still do,even though 3 of us are in our mid 80s Drummer is quite a youth of 72!
I think you are remember8ng Princess who had meningitis when a few months old and was very ill,but then we had Katie who had a very bad pulmonary disease and parents were told to let her go.
Well,
Prinny ,as they call her is almost 6 and Katie is 5 and they are both doing very well and at school . Looks like Katie is going to be really athletic.she goes to the gym and is so good on the bars...probably because she is so light.her skirt for her school uniform is size 2-3!

I try to keep myself busy and help the Wellbeing team in our area.
Am trying to organise a library meeting to help a few with family history...hope it works.
The secret to living a fulfilling old age I believe is keeping busy.
It can be challenging at times ,but Better than sitting doing nothing.

Must get back in the habit of posting more.
:-D :-D

David, I do remember helping you, but it is just what we all did.

I have had help from members on here, and it was my first venture into family history when you got matches regularly and went through them and found connections. My first match was a second cousin I didn’t know and he sent me 23 photos of great aunts he couldn’t identify but I could.

I don’t think it works in the same way now but there are still members who are only too pleased to help .

Genes was a lifeline for me when I couldn’t get out due to being a carer, long may it continue in the old way.

Madge , I do remember you now !
I remember booking it as had my 7o th birthday party there,and then in 2011 my husbands wake as well.
Linda and I worked together organising.i couldn’t get to other meets as couldn’t go far.
My husband was on oxygen and mobility scooter when we went to Cornwall with daughter and s.i.l.and made that a holiday.

Used to love reading the write ups of the meets you all went to.

Brenda. I am still grateful, I really am. I thought cut copy and paste was beyond me
but you taught me, online, now I can post photos, music, videos. Adds a greater
dimension to the internet. Thank you again

Thank you all for remembering Ellen's birthday <3

You are very welcome David :-D



Brenda I am sorry to hear of the passing of your husband. Are you still in touch with Linda ? She has lost about 5 stone I also met her at a Manchester meet as well. Her husband was in the early stages of Alzheimer's. She is a lovely lady, so if you are in touch with her please pass on my kindness regards. Of course you remember me you mention meeting me in a earlier post, Hayley Empress of Drama :-D

I remember looking at photos of you all at the Bodmin or Cornwall meet , you did a tour in a Victoria Prison and I saw the photo's over t'road it looked amazing.

Morning Madge :-D going back to dreams...…… I had a horrible one the other night. I found a huge slug stuck to my head *ugh* I managed to ease it of with a ruler but it left a red raw mark. Slugs make me gag so what's that all about?

Sorry if that's put you off your elevenses. :-(

you could always ponder on my slug David :-D

Madge

Madge Report 29 Sep 2018 11:53

Morning Island from the dream dictionary :

To see slugs in your dream indicate that you are progressing through life in a slow, steady, and persistent manner. Perhaps you are moving painfully slowly toward a goal. Alternatively, the dream may be a pun on "feeling sluggish".

To dream that slugs are coming out from inside your body suggest that you are having difficulties expressing some aspect of your emotion. Consider where in your body are the slugs coming out from.
