b0b,

What a great day for you. I'm glad the contest didn't ruin it for you.

Weather was bizzare yesterday, wasn't it? The highlight of my Father's day was standing outside with the girls yesterday evening watching the flooding and the 'river' that used to be our street!

All sorts floating by - probably best not to mention!

Got it all on video. Maybe I will play it to WH next year.

Fine thanks, b0b.

It wasn't as bad here as it was in Yorkshire. Just exciting!

And we had a few leaks - nothing too bad, though.

Girls thought it was great - whilst I ran around putting pans under drips!

Went to see MIL this morning <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

She's so frail....and she's had a fall and bashed all her eye and head up.

Still trying to make the best of it though, God Almighty Bless her, richly.

Took Squid for a Thai lunch to cheer her up. It was really nice.

Squid really is a lovely lady again now. FUnny, interesting, indulgent and she desires me.

It very attractive when somebody desires you, particularly my wife !!

* nods*

Hows your day , Yerpeens ?

bOb,

So sorry that your MIL is having such a hard time. Old age is not for wimps! At least she is amiable enough for you to have sympathy for her.

I also have a dear, sweet MIL. She suffers from dementia terribly.

Still my lot is better than one of my very best girlfriends in that area. Her MIL never married, was an OW and bore but one child and that son to a married man. My friend's MIL is a mean, nasty, and bitter woman. She inherited quite a bit of property and allowed my GF and her son to build on it, but technically the house still belongs to her. When the young children of my girlfriend once ate all the white currants from the bushes and GFMIL no longer had that particular fruit to make jelly, she rooted out those bushes, "If I can't have those currants, no one can!". These "fruit robbers" are her own small grandchildren!

Selfish, mean, and nasty people can be avoided, but they eventually will reap the bitter loneliness that they sow. The unrepentent OP is really quite pitiful.

LT what a bitter and sad tale !

Nothing could be further removed from my own MIL.

Squids mother was a sixties' teenager and had three children by two different men before she was twenty one.

Squid and her sisters were then dumped at MILs house while MIL and BF went to explore the near east and 'find themslves'.

In their absence FIL & MIL filed for custody AND WON !

They set a legal precedent in UK law - never before had grandparents been granted full adoption of grandchildren while both parents were alive , sane and contesting.

So after raising their OWN family my inlaws cheerfully raised their grandkids as their own.

She is a Madrasi indian catholic. She can be very matter-of-fact and hold a grudge against those who cross her, but I can;t fault the lady.

Her diagnosis with cancer last May was one reason Squid went 'off the rails' last year in both our opinions.

The cancer and several strokes have gotten the better of MIL now, and she is frail and asleep much of the time.

Today she woke when we arrived, greeted me like the prodigal son with kisses and almond thins.

She does not fear deatj, and regrest nothing in her LONG 87 year life.

Her situation is sad, but not TRAGIC. We should be so blessed after such a life.

Scottie isn't Scottish?? What is wrong with this world?!

My hubby use to be an actor in the Renaissance Faire here outside of Los Angeles. He was a Scot and his kilt was a replica of what they wore in the 1500's. Poor thing, imagine marching around all day long in wool, from head to toe, in 90 degree weather. Not my idea of fun.

He looked so good! I should make him wear that again, just for me.

Alphin - Yes, Braveheart is one of my favorites. I mean Mel Gibson is a hottie to begin with and then he's in a kilt? My heart is a flutter!!!

Mel Gibson is indeed a hottie, and I do appreciate the rough charm of the costumes in Braveheart. Those are kilts for real men!

On the other hand, the kind of kilt that Prince Charles wears when he's poncing around Balmoral (Queen's Scottish Estate, don't you know) is not particularly attractive IMVHO.

Mel - YESSS!
Charles - NOOOO!

Add to that Mel's faithfulness to his W for many years despite certain temptations and Charles' persistent womanising I'd rather have Mel as heir to the throne than ol' big ears.
