Hi @SarasaNo need to apologise, it is a really useful thing to do. I find reading back through what I've written over the last few years really useful. I was reading my thread about trying to get help for my mum that I started in 2018 and so much has changed since then. I also enjoy reading about other people's experiences, and I think all our threads really help others in the same boat.
Thanks @IzzyI think it’s a great idea @Eddcorner.
I started my long running thread about my husband in 2009 and only stopped posting on it a while after he died in 2016. It helped me through some dark days. I’m sure you will find it really helpful to have that kind of thread.
I must admit @SeaSwallow it was only after chancing across your diary thread that I chose to take the plunge! And a good heads-up about having separate threads for problem solvingI find my diary really useful although I only update it now and again.
If I have something urgent/important that I want an answer to then I start a separate thread.
Pleased to be of help. 😊I must admit @SeaSwallow it was only after chancing across your diary thread that I chose to take the plunge! And a good heads-up about having separate threads for problem solving
Be careful with the content though - I thought nature programs would be good for mum, but she thought there was a snake in her house!That's when nature programmes of fluffy and attractive animals came in.
Yes, I agree. I would check to make sure no insects etc. Programmes about cats and dogs would work also.Be careful with the content though - I thought nature programs would be good for mum, but she thought there was a snake in her house!
Oh @canary !! 😂 I'm so sorry, impromptu giggle surfaced... Attenborough a no no then?Be careful with the content though - I thought nature programs would be good for mum, but she thought there was a snake in her house!
I am indeed fortunate @Canadian Joanne, being honest I do like it even more when she rips me though it's good to see that spark as you say. For mum? She now gravitates towards horror/zombie/scary type content in the evenings. Never seen her laugh so much!It's good that she can still enjoy the television. Let it ride. One day things won't make as much sense. My mother started saying movies and TV shows were "stupid" because she couldn't follow the storylines. That's when nature programmes of fluffy and attractive animals came in.
Impromptu giggles are allowed! In retrospect it is quite funny, although it wasnt at the time. You are quite right - after that, Attenborough was a definite no no....Oh @canary !! 😂 I'm so sorry, impromptu giggle surfaced... Attenborough a no no then?
Sounds lovely. Hope tomorrow is just as goodSuccessful Easter weekend had by mum and myself with picnics held on two successive days Listened to Pink and Foo Fighters whilst watching young family play cricket yestetday; today there was an Easter egg hunt in and around the bandstand whilst the sun shone down on us both... There's still tomorrow? Let's go for the hat trick!
