Bemused
Stick a pic up of the mutt and I will tell you if its ugly. They might be getting the dog confused with who’s on the other end of its leash.
Sophia asked for a picture of the dog, not its owner…..

I know a lovely lady with 3 boys who are now men…..2 are policemen…married…family….one of her boys…to put it bluntly is a little shiit….well big one now….in and out of prison…stolen from his mum… Bad parenting? I don’t think so
Being ‘lovely’ or a policeman doesn’t mean you are a good parent, but I don’t know the people involved so I can’t really say much on this example.
I think Kenty was using the mother of the 3 boys as an example, not the men themselves as parents.
The same woman raised all 3 boys yet one is very different from the other two.
What age do people mean by ‘kids’?
I’m not sure Mr Kart was talking about those in single figures. At my age, I still refer to people in their early twenties as kids….
I used to have a terrible fear of snakes like most.
Years ago I went to a small circus and they brought a massive one round for people to stroke. I declined. A few minutes later they asked for a volunteer to have it put around their shoulders. I looked at the floor – obviously not wanting to make eye contact with the handler.
Before I knew it he was by my side announcing they had a volunteer. When I said no, he asked for the audience to give me a round of applause for doing it. I was with my 7 year old step son who looked quite excited, so I felt I had no choice but to do it as I didn’t want to let him down.
And actually, it was ok. I expected it to be cold and nasty and it wasn’t.
Must admit, they haven’t bothered me since (not that I come across many!).
I’d rather have a snake than a spider any day….
I hope they all have a good time.
To be fair in the main, I’m not sure people are arguing, are they?
Welcome to the boards, Lia.

It is always a difficult subject – you’re right. Maybe if we spoke about it more often it would become easier.
I’ve spoken to my kids about what I want (the cheapest of everything (I’m not going to care, I won’t be there to admire my £3000.00 coffin!) and no flowers – if people can’t buy me flowers when I’m alive, why would I want them when I’m dead!) and they’ve agreed to abide by my wishes.
The cost of funerals is a total rip off and undertakers know it’s not a time when people aren’t generally going to barter.
Like Kenty, I lost a parent when I was young and the other died a couple of years ago, but adversely, it makes it easier for me to speak about. Not sure they like it though….few like to be reminded of their own or a loved one’s mortality.
The problem is, we get to an age where you have more years behind you than ahead…..
