What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

How is poor Moet coping around your house and garden?
your painting definitely captures windswept farmland.

He's doing Ok around where he knows thank you, blunders into us occasionally. Thanks for appreciation of painting.

Not surprising that you haven't spoken for several years. Quite scary that she is such an unsafe driver.

Me too ultimately I couldn't continue to feel responsible for her and we haven't spoken for several years...it wasn't solely about the car but how she behaved after the event.

 

[Krystyna23040]

No. Surely obligatory for your men's support group? Bet Mr @Krystyna23040 would be interested - perfect for shopping trips and yes, I've seen a couple outside shops here already.

Mr K definitely would like one of those. Although I would insist on choosing the colour

We have a John Deer tractor in our shed which we will have to decide on if we do ever move. It was given to No 1 son age 4 and is a perfect replica. In those days summers in Ireland were spent following combine harvesters and John Deer tractors around. The metal bars might need a bit of work but I dont know if I could bear to part with it.

It would be a shame to part with your perfect replica of a tractor.
Mr K spent his holidays in Ireland on his Grandfather's farm. He learnt to drive a tractor aged 10. Obviously Health and Safety hadn't been invented then.

So pleased to hear he is managing OK.

Yes - she did behave appallingly after the event.

You don't need an excuse to buy a BMW...fabulous cars

Don't know, just know its grey!

Evidently burning wood or coal is even worse for the environment than flying abroad on holiday or taking a bus ride to Cleathorpes. Very soon we will be told that keeping one dog is worse than keeping a landrover and god forbid that you have more than one child - very polluting and increases the amount of sweet shops.

New neighbor along block just had a new wood burner fitted last week. Oops!

This was much better and it had Air Con and big enough to sleep in. I have mentioned this before,this was my 4.2 litre Nissan Patrol which I abused, pulled horse trailers, forded rivers and lakes, climbed mountains, got stuck in Irish Peat bogs and drove every day as my works vehicle travelling up and down motorways to computer clients. It did 700,000 miles and the only thing I ever replaced was wheel bearings, lets see you do that in a John Deer. Oh and it's now running around somwhere in Russia, brilliant. Oh and yes it's black.

Hug was for the neighbour. Still I suppose Kiln Dried will be Ok, I think 4 years on even that will be totally sociably unacceptable as will driving non electric cars and possibly by the end of the decade running gas central heating. Changing times indeed.

Corrected the order, just for future reference.....
PROPER car colour to boot.


THAT sounds brilliant, what a car..love it.

Neighbours' were more curious to know if he had thought to obtain official approval for the extended flu which now rises clear above his rooftop - we live in a conservation area.

Oh dear, already deamonised but for aesthetic reason not clean air quality. We have a landowner who gets away with blue murder when it comes to planning and regulations, does what he wants and gets away with it. We are in an AONB and I sit in many meetings where all sorts of impacts on the AONB are discussed, the biggest impact visually and tranquility wise will be HS2, the amount of time and money that's been spent on consultants and experts trying to divert or propose alternative ways to lessen the impact on the area is frightening and sadly I suspect all to no avail. Also at these meeting I hear Natural England proposing means to manage the heathland, cattle be allowed to graze which involves a vast fencing project and cattle, perhaps these cattle don't fart, bracken burning and spraying chemicals from aeroplanes. Natural England is a government department, how do these proposals help our carbon footprint? Mixed up thinking surely, what they are proposing is against all that environmentalists are proposing. But I am just a member of Joe Public so what do I know?

Edit Sorry I will climb down off my soap box now before someone throws rotten eggs at me.

No point in trying for the clean air in this instance, we live on a major road, with a bus stop just beyond my boundary wall, the pollution is already a part of us- literally! My rant over now. Seems a nice enough neighbor though.

Maybe your area will get a nice delivery of those new electric buses out PM is promising, don't hold your breath though.

I don't know if we are created to be useful.

In good pantomime tradition "Oh yes we are!'

We are to complex and miraculous a creation not to be useful, I have no idea how we were created or where we will end up, have no time for organised religion but do believe there is eternal progression and as such everyone is useful, either now or in some unknown future. Each and everyone of us has a part to play we are amazing with much to offer.

So once again "oh yes we are!"

I think these may go some way to assuaging those doubts https://www.openbible.info/topics/wonderfully_made Personally, I would say Colossians 3:12 gives us all a use

I was thinking of Revelation 4:11 and Micah 6:8. Of course there are also Ecclesiastes 12:13, John 13:34 and 15:12 and 17; Romans 13:8 ... et al. ...

 

[SaskiaKC]

Do/Did any of these BMWs and VWs and Vauxhalls and Nissans have names? All of my well-loved cars have had names.

Yellow Opel Kadett -- The Bugg; Buggchen
White Mustang II -- Tex (named after a friend's original '64 1/2 Mustang)
Blue Ford Escort -- Blue
Red Chevrolet Cavalier -- Hotshot; Richard (after Richard Lovelace)

Not doubts so much as maybe a different view of the matter. x
