Still at home on standby. Yes Carole they are still here and packed and ready to go as soon as they tell us to leave. The longer we stay the more chance we have of saving everything, trying to round up the animals is the hardest. We have soaked all the chicken pens with water in the hopes they will survive, it is heart breaking.

I will keep logged into my computer until we have to leave.

No sleep last night as we were all keeping watch.

Love and hugs to all

Gail

Hi all
Not been posting much , have'nt really felt up to it if you see what I mean.
I did put a thank you thread up for the most beautiful flowers which arrived last week but just wanted to thank you on here as well.
Hope Gail is ok, very scary for all who are affected.
Take care everyone

Remember our friend Cumbrian Caz,? Saw on the boards she is safe and not flooded.x

Prayers going out for Gail, keep her safe. x

Good to see you Caz, don't worry about not being on every day, as long as you pop in occasionally. Take care, thinking of you

I haven't been on for a while but so glad I looked today, Please God let Gail and family be alright. It must be so scary.

I have pm'd Deanna my phone number so no panic.
Barbara I'm glad you came to us on our thread no one ever judges, and I would be lost without you anyway, remember the bits of advice you gave me? Please don't leave on account of someone out to cause trouble, they are not worth bothering about.

Hope everyone is ok, I might not be on a lot for the moment, too much going on in my head, but I think of you every day.

Love and hugs to all

I just received the birth cert of Elizabeth Musgrave 23rd April 1852 in Auckland, Durham and her wedding cert. Yes she couldn't write so that all proves I have her father Thomas, my ancestor with her in the 1900 US census.

They lived at North Fayette Township, Allegheny. I have put a request on some US lookups but the lookup offer said they dont have any deaths 1900-1910 in PA.

Thomas Musgrave is not on the 1910 US census so I think he died inbetween 1900 and 1910 so it narrows it down.

Hi everyone, how are you all?
Well I hope.
We are doing well but still in the midst of a household tornado!!
Still, we are in a better place than those poor, poor people in Cockermouth.
God love them, they must be in a dreadful state.
Please has anyone the telephone number for Caz???
Just had visitors so have to go.

Oh Gail take care. Please try to keep us in touch with how everything is. Be safe xx

treehunter pleased your son is ok xx

Worried about Gail, I hope she and the family are OK, I don't know if she still has daughter, son in law and Grandson still with them.

Hi just popped on for awhile

My son is ok he is staying at his dads or me for now until he can get a place, He has tried everything to get somewhere but none to be found.

He is waiting for a letter from hospital and doctor in hope that will help, He needs a place to have so when he has his son has some where to take him.

His ex isnt helping him not being very nice to him keep texting him saying bad things. He wants to be with his son christmas day as it will be his first, so ex has said he can go to her sisters with her but they wont talk to him or feed him.he is to sit in another room with his son.So we are going to sort that out for him,we have found a way so hope ex will work with us on it.

{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}for everyone

Just a quickie. Been busy. Worked today, fortunately not quite as hot as yesterday and a lot less than tomorrow's threatened 39 C (102 F).
xx to all.

Gail, thinking of you. Please STAY SAFE. Let us know what happens if you can, we will be waiting.

Barbra Of course this is the place you should be, you will get support on here, we don't judge anybody. But don't let a cyber bully spoil your enjoyment, ignore her, I am sure nobody else is laughing at you. To be honest if it were me I would put up a post asking if anyone was laughing at me. However not everyone could cope with that so be more subtle, go on posting and ignore that person completely.

I have sent you a PM. Don't like to see anyone upset on here and there is too much of it goes on, mainly on chat.

We are preparing for evacuation, fire is 2 Klm away. Will keep in touch.


Barbara you are in the right place welcome. Sorry will be back and talk more later.

Gail

Barbra I'm sorry for you. Have you PMed other people on that thread to ask if they have received a message from this person about you? Or asked openly on the thread, without using her name? I'd bet she hasn't a clue what the others think of you. If anything they have most likely worked out for themselves who is the baddie! Try returning to where you had made friends. Good luck xx

Mary, bless Sarah she was making a cake for you and Coleen to share and there had to be enough to go round! Really it must have been a sight to see. What a mess all that sticky syrup!

Gail sounds awful hope there isn't a repeat of last years fires near you. Do you have a fire proof box to keep important papers, photos, research! Hope you stay safe this summer xx

Eileen it's brave of you to post your fears. I know you find it difficult. What dose of anti depressants are you taking? Perhaps you need to try a stronger dose or even a new tablet type.

Sharron your post is interesting. I think I am getting there now. I never liked me, and thought no one else did. This thread has helped me in that way. I feel much better about myself. Being told over and over I am okay has got me this far. And thank you to my friends here xxx

Had a lovely day yesterday, it was Steves day off so we went to The White Rose centre Leeds. ( I drove there) Did some shopping for Xmas. Disney shop got cleared out! No not really but we did get some nice things in there. Stopped at Glasshoughton on the way home and picked up some bedding for mum.

We have had bushfires around today, we are safe, just very thick smoke around. Just on dark we could see the flames about 5 klms away. The new fire started to the west of us, there has been one about 20 klm away to the east for the last few days.

WE ARE SAFE. So do not worry. We are watching and waiting and listening to the Radio for updates.

Gail

One of the things my hypnotherapist did was to set up a situation where the present Sharron gives the love and comfort to the little Sharron that she should have had at the time.

It does seem to do some good.

The sun is shining here, it is very mild too, just like yesterday, but, I am feeling extremely sad, maybe depressed is a better word.This has been going on for quite a long time now.The anti depressants don't seem to be helping.....
I hardly dared to come on here and type this, after reading about all the really bad things that some of you are going through. To be honest, I sometimes frighten myself with the black thoughts running through my head.
This week, I watched an episode of Coalhouse, not very enthousiastic, but, then a tune called The Sun Has Got It's Hat On, which made the tears roll.My aunt who died in 2006 told me that my mother used to sing this many moons ago.I can't picture her ever singing...aunt always sang around the house.Then there was a thread asking members about their first memories of Christmas .This really set me off.It may sound very strange, but I felt sorry for the child back then,as if it is someone else who experienced the lonely Christmas's, who didn't have nice memories, not me.
Fighting these private demons is soooo exhausting.This is something a lot of you recognise probably, so understand.

Enough of this.

Gail & Mary, thank you for your good wishes for my birthday, and Mary, happy birthday to both you and Colleen for today.

David, it is brave of you to actually say you are depressed.In my experience, men seem to have a problem with admitting this.

I can also relate to having wierd dreams about lost loved ones, and doing things in my sleep......

Take care all of you.

Thank you Colin, we hope to have a good day. To lighten your day here's what happened at 3:30 this morning. Woke up at 3:30 to find sarah had been busy in the kitchen.
here's a list of her concoction: 6 eggs, butter,cooked potatoes which were for tomorrow nights supper as salad,sea salt, cherry juice, coffee grounds, Splenda, dried blueberries, broken choc mint cookies, cream of rice cereal, a whole bottle of maple syrup, rolled oats and the essential Ranch dressing, what a mess, and what a waste. To top it off she was naked with all the lightson and no curtain on the window. I had to laugh, otherwise I would have been angry or cry.
It took 2 hours to clean up the mess. She had another seizure yesterday at school, second this week, scary time. This one was less severe than Monday's. The entire day is turned upside down.
gareth's speech seems to be increasing, he is asking questions, incomplete grammar, but I don't care, if he is understood.

Colin a friend here is heartbroken because her daughter and her family have emigrated to new zeland, never been there before, no temporary work permit, just went. My friend used to look after the children regularly, there's a big hole there now. It makes me think about the people who emigrated to 'the ends of the e arth' before we had phone and computers.
In my family tree there are several who left and comment made 'never heard from again'. How sad for a family to be in that position.
it's cold and damp here now, the sky looks like "the 'S' word" and seems cold enough. According to the farmers almanac we are having heavier snow this winter starting late November. i don't have a pair of boots, threw mine out last spring to motivate myelf to buy new ones. Another procrastination issue. oe of these days my feet will be cold and wet.
have a good friday everyone, enjoy my (and Colleen's) birthday for me, I don't have time LOL.
