Time for Salad Fingers Ducky

It's never time for Salad Fingers

Spoooooooons!

Is it just me... or does this thread feel like a holiday caravan....  that we will eventually leave and return home (the bar)... 

but whilst here.... anything kinda goes

The biggest trouble is ditty, we never stop worrying. My daughter is 32 and she can still give me either heart failure or the best moments of my life. As for the strapping son, he's in Afghanistan and incommunicado at the moment. The worries are immeasuable. I'm learning that the best way is to sit back and cross fingers, they're great kids btw, but I could be 80 and those two in the 50s and I'd still be more concerened about them then anything else.

It does have a holiday feel!   The thought of it ending makes me wanna go into tantrum mode

But I know when I get home it will be a relief

We'll have to wait a bit for the relief.

Who'd have thought it would be an election, ...   an election that hasn't really ended well for anyone... that would give the forum a boost of activity...

A bit of extra time to lounge on the beach then?

At least it created one of the best threads we've had for ages. It just shows that our interest in serious subjects is still there.

I'll pray for nice weather.

Cologne...

my heartrate increased just beginning to imagine one of the kids serving overseas.   I dunno how I would get through that... I worry enough about friends out there.

& you are spot on about the step back & cross fingers thing...    I decided to stop looking for problems (ok... I might have facebook stalked her a little bit when she first started boarding )....  and made myself stop speculating and getting myself all worked up.

I realised I was in danger of becoming a bit.... erm....  clingy!

It's made me realise I can be serious (ish)

I can't wait for BB now..... I'm ready to take you all on

I've learned so much over the last few days....    I am not that politically clued up.... not in terms of history, facts, figures, in depth economy etc...   and so didn't usually feel confident to discuss my political views...   but its been good in here.

And I'll be there right behind you with a cupcake-shaped shield

Aw.. the last BB house should just have lots of past politicians as housemates!

but no lyrca or impersonating of cats permitted!

Me neither. You're a brave lady Cologne!

I'm still at Ditty's stage of trying hard to let go and let them (well him) get on with the study thing alone.

I find it difficult to let it be solely his responsibility...but I'm getting there. Well, I'm gritting my teeth and trying desperately not to say REVISE every two seconds.

I used to pick my children up from all sorts of place when most of their mates were allowed to make their own way home. The worst thing for them was that we were driving a VW Camper at the time. They were mortified. Funnily enough when we talked about this years later when they were grown up, they admitted how relieved they were that somebody was there for them, rather then pretend to be grown up, walking through a park to get the bus etc. So don't feel bad. Just weigh up what's acceptable in your mind to let them do and stick to your guns with the rest.

Awww

Ok... this is totally off topic but..... has anyone noticed a change on FB? If one of my friends posts on someone's status who I am not a friend of, I can now see the status and the whole conversation.

I'm not sure I like that.

A good win for our local MP Tim farron
14% swing

Yaay, and Muf gets us back on topic.

ermmm....  would that not mean we had loads more toot on our newsfeeds ducks...

I will have a quick look!


(Cologne...  I know I did something right... cos she comes to me, and she tells me pretty much everything - more than I would ever expect sometimes... )

I have no idea, I can't even get a list of my friends up. The place is a complete mystery to me.

OT Lol
 
It's up to You to change it in your privacy settings now Captain (they obviously haven't)

are you sure Ducks.... there is nothing on my newsfeed that doesn't originate from someone on my friends list

ermmmm...... yeah it should do. Except I haven't noticed a big change. I'm confused now. Maybe it's only certain people then..... if they haven't changed it in their privacy settings?

*runs to check*

That's the best thing ditty. My children were really open with me too, they did slip up for a couple of months each, but we had open channels of communication and that's one of the most important things. I really thing you and your daughter will be fine.

Ickle has just read your "praise" Ducky.... she said "Yay... I could be an inspiration!"

one step at a time youngling... one step at a time!

Yeah I'm sure...... I have to log on to my nieces account when she's away at her dads (to feed her pet ) and a conversation I was having just now on someone elses status is on her feed.

Do you know how Muf? I've tried looking but everything seems to be set to just friends as it was before....and I can't find anything that seems to relate to this.

But Ducky... I can't see a conversation you were having on someone elses status

I'll sign in as the dog and see what he can see

Oh!  AJ can see you talking to Daniel!!!

Well I'm completely confused then My niece is definitely not a friend with this person.

That's it!

How strange.

PMSL @ the thought of anyone not in the know reading that!

And I can see one conversation Croc had with her son (her son's status)... but only those two.. and only on AJs FB account!

I've had a couple on my account today too.... that's when I first noticed it!
