I'm in a spot of bother, chaps (and chapesses). My best beloved cracked the edge of the screen on her smartphone (Samsung S8, which appear to have a reputation for fragile screens so be warned!). I offered to put a dab of superglue on the crack to stop it getting any worse and smooth off the rough edge. Malheureusement, the glue ran off into the power switch which is now stuck fast.  :'( I hope my tame phone repairer can fix it tomorrow, otherwise I am looking at forking out for a new phone... Oh well.

Chris, that is classic and I suspect that some of the replies will belong in the happy thread! Anyway, enjoy the concert and let's hope the journey is not so bad second time around!

Temporary hijacking of the happy thread!
Well, we got the right evening at last! Great gig last night. It was the band's last night of a short UK tour before heading off to the states and they were firing on all cylinders - best we have ever seen them play. We are friends of the guitar player and the flutie knows us too, so we had long chats with them and Blanche got hugs so it all came right in the end!

Cheers,

Chris

I had just got out of bed, shortly after lunchtime today, (not being lazy, I was preparing myself for working tonight), when Louisa rang me. My sister had been trying to contact me to inform me that my Mum had passed away this morning. Whilst I am obviously sad and upset over this, to be honest, I think, in a guilty way, that it was for the best. Apart from being 86, Mum was suffering from some sort of Dementia which seemed to be getting worse. I think it all started when my sister passed away a couple of years ago. Mums short term memory was terrible. She was always complaining to me that my brother never rang her and, conversely, would complain to my brother that I never rang, yet we both rang 3 or 4 times a week. Still, she has now got her wish, as she always said she wanted to be with my Dad and sister.  RIP Mum.

I used to be indecisive - now I'm not - I don't think.
If a friend seems distant, catch up with them.

Sorry to hear about your Mum, but don't feel guilty. Well done for expressing your feelings here amongst this community. Thoughts are with you and your family. Cheers, Bill.

Condolences, mate. Several people I knew well have passed away because of dementia, and like you, I thought it for the best as their quality of life was non-existant.

Best wishes, buddy.

Sorry to read your news but I do understand what you mean about feeling sad but with some relief that what was a tough time is over.

I'm sure you and your family will have many great memories of better days.

Very sorry to hear of your loss ,and I fully understand what you mean about being sad but at the same time relief .
Its so sad to see someone close gradually getting worse ,My father inlaw suffers with Altziemers and Dementure  and its horrible watching someone who was so fit and clever reduced to being allmost like a baby and sometimes he doesnt even recognise my wife and her brother .
Regards and deapest sympathy

You have my deepest sympathy, David. It really is a 'rock and a hard place' to be in that situation.

It's always so sad to lose someone very close but with very little quality of life it is usually for the best, I've told my family if I ever get to the state where quality of life is nil then they have my permission to whatever is necessary.

She who must be obeyed says I am spending too much time on this forum. I love her dearly but what does she know?

Sad news but there will be plenty of happy memories. I too believe in quality of life not quantity.
You know you're getting older when your mind makes commitments your body can't meet.
