Do you have a link for those mushrooms Tai? I'd kind of like some of those!

The reason I suggested the stool was because of the MS. I don't know the severity of his case since MS can be all over the board but it might allow him to continue his passion for a bit longer.



Yeah...I think he's beyond that.....I think he'll be wheeling around looking at stuff.


I know what his WIFE would want for him!!! That he would use a urodome......he pees into bottles all around the house.....then forgets them. She gets to empty the stinking ones she can't find until she can smell them. Sigh. I don't think a vibrating urodome is gonna be an ok gift...

You can make your own survival kit, dlowan. Just buy a few things from
around the city where you know they would miss in the countryside.
Sugar packets from their favorite cafe, a recipe from the restaurant they
like, some pictures or postcards of places around town you know they'd miss, etc. etc. and perhaps a handwritten note from you remembering some
of the times you spent together. It will cost you very little money, just
a bit of time.

You can put all these things into a big checkered kitchen cloth and fasten
it with a stick - like this guy is holding

Yeah...I thought of that....but I ain't got the time...and the bastards rarely eat out, and are generally ornery.


I can see I will have to go into some damn shop tomoprrow night and just pick some damn thing out and try to make it relevant. Grrrrrrr.....



Normally I find this sort of thing quite fun to do, but at present I have absolutely zero energy and am grumpy as a bear with a sore head, or a Tasmanian Devil without a sore head.


Frankly, I'd as soon rip someone apart with my bare hands.

Please be selective and choose a person we all don't like! It's so much
more effective this way. Laughing

Why not set your friends up in a nice motel room?

Gosh, I slept in a room like this once while driving across the country.
I think it was somewhere in Missouri - we were so darn tired that we just
pulled up to the next motel - run by Indians (India). It was an awful,
filthy please, slept with my clothes on. The towels had holes and were paper thin, and I didn't dare look underneath the bed blanket to see the sheets.
What a run down place that was....

Fate decided it for me!


I had to cancel my credit card, because I thought it lost, and ended up not having enough money available at the time to get something new.


So...perforce I had to use something I already had.


I had a lovely, tuned windchime....which I hadn't put up at home because I wa sworried about neighbours.


I gave them that.


In an expensive designer hessian bag from a very upmarket grocery, which I think was more of a hit!


My friend plans on using it at the local el cheapo supermarket for fun.
