Ummmm - there are times when I still want my mum so much. She died in 1990. In fact I think my 1st marriage began to die 8 mths. after she did - in tears and pain I cried that 'I want my mum!' and he replied 'Well, you can't have her.'
I don't know where all the time has gone - it just does - so now I try to live as much in time as I can. I don't want to do a Richard 11 - 'I wasted time and now doth time waste me'. :)
“My dear, dear Lord,
The purest treasure mortal times afford
Is spotless reputation; that away
Men are but gilded loan or painted clay...
Mine honour is my life; both grow in one;
Take honour from me, and my life is done.”
I can't believe my daughter will be 53 next month. Had dinner with them all tonight as we are going to France on Friday, so a time to catch up. We were talking of HER pension and retirement plNs. Now that felt really weird.
// perfect implosions , one of the keys to kick starting a nucleur bomb, if I remember correctly.//
yes sir randy, rightee
Readers Digest had an article on the High School Kid whose final year project got classified by the CIA and the project was on how to build a bomb
he had persuaded the american counter part to TELL him how getting a perfect implosion was done
" I shouldnt say that - but you're only a kid blah blah blah "
and the big secret they took years to solve was a perfectly symmetrical implosion was generated by asymmetrical distribution of the separate charges... ( ter-daaaah )
and I would like fifty thousand gormless whaaaaa's or else if anyone on AB has understood that comment I will have to come around and shoot them
My father died in 1980 when I was eighteen and I feel I never really knew him as an adult
He has missed so much in my life and so much has happened in the world since he passed. He would have loved the Internet
My mum is 88 and still with us
