Due to family circumstances, I am taking some time away from the forums and all. See you all after the break.

Oh, and behave all.

---

I'll keep a lid on it whilst you are away, my friend.
Hope the family issues are not too hard to deal with.

Meow.

:(((

Hope all goes well and that you're back soon. Will be thinking of you.

Hope it isn't anything serious.

Be well, stay well, and good happy thoughts

Hope you're back soon.

Thanks all. We have a couple of people passed away in the family. Since they were living all over the country (really, one 4 hours away north, one 1.5 hours away west) we're just glad they didn't choose to be buried/cremated at the same time. (thin smile)

I have another aunt who's on her death bed, but has been there for a week now. She also turned 92 in the mean time.

All of these deaths are taking quite a bit of energy away from my already fragile mother, which is why these forums are really not at the front of my attention. I did read all the accusations of Cruncher Pete and have given him a PM with the urging request to take firm steps back away from here for as long as I am not here. There's no need for further fights on here.

Seeing that even though all of this I seem to be the only moderator on duty around here, I think my option is going to be to give time outs to people misbehaving themselves. Your choice if you want a week, 2 or 4.

Oh and Mark, sorry to see you go, but I expect you back within 24 hours. (another thin smile)

Oh, I'll stop in to visit...hopefully by choice for a while.
There's always the Tuesday outages.

Now, you get back to dealing with your family and don't worry about ME messing things up around here whilst you are gone.

Thoughts and prayers going out for you and yours.
May God bless.

Meow.

One burial was today, that's done.

The next is a cremation and that is on Saturday. 99% chance we're not going there due to expected weather (snow) and the problem that the ceremony starts at 12.30pm, a time my mother as a diabetic needs to take her insulin and then immediately eat. Seeing how my aunt had 15 brothers and there'll be all of the rest of my uncle's family as well, that's too much for her. I'd rather bring her over to my uncle at a later date, for a private visit.

Me myself, I never felt too much acquainted with that side of the family, so it doesn't hurt me as much.

So the rest of the week I can now spend on finding mum a good tablet for when her internet is going to be connected next week. Another challenge, getting a frail 75 year old with just one working hand to use the internet.

Ah and of course get some colour schemes together which you then can use at the forums here.

Nearly the same issue here but add a touch of emerging Dementia to the situation. I can sympathize.

Sorry to hear about your relatives leaving you, and good luck with your mother, Jord.

Kitties just stopping in to say hello.
Hiya, Jord.
Hope things are better for you today.
Meow meow meow from the kitties.

My great aunt Gré has also passed away, last night in her sleep. There's more mourning in our family.

---

I so sorry for your loss.

I am sorry to hear that, and send prayers.
Glad you could stop in for the visit.
See you in better times soon.

Meow.

So sorry Jord. We saw my mom tonight and she is more frail then my wife and I can ever remember seeing her.

Some kind thoughts and prayers for your mother too Blurf.
My own mum was in a minor car wreck last week and is nursing a sore arm and neck herself. The Lord was with her, and it was really much simpler than it could have been.

Burial is on Friday afternoon. But guess what? It's Winter around these parts, and while it was 7C today and will be tomorrow, by Friday we're in another cold-spell and they expect yet more snow. I can handle snow, don't get me wrong, but not when I have to drive 300 kilometers to the service and afterwards those 300 kilometers back again. Not with a diabetic mother.

So I'm trying to persuade her that we'll be able to visit the grave outside of snow-season.
