in noticing that other IPOAT Johnny husband incarnations are better than mine?

[Hullygully]

Huh.

Bugger. Still in my gastrointestinal pudding demise name.

A sentence sublime in its magnificence.

Memory cheese - a fitting addition to our repetoire of modesty cheese.

Sister Riven, I confess I am at a loss to advise you as where to begin. Might I suggest you just don something homespun and take a turn in the dogcart? You'll soon get into the swing.

Does this make me look like I'm trying too hard?

I think it suits you - pithy and yet moving.

Oh, we've not had any anachronism for ages. I'm going to wear this. It will double as a rack for hanging out my hand-dyed hessian cloth to dry.

Well that is certainly rather fetching, Sister Gastro, perhaps an exception might be made.

Watch me swoop and soar!

Come down at once! Your bloomers are showing.

Lawks. I shall flagellate myself with my spiky hat forthwith.

Oh bugger.
Can I just post here quietly . For you lot who are nice. My sister has just told me her cancer is now in her spine and terminal.
Life is shit really sometimes.

I am fine. Just it sucks. I just think ofthe girl she was and how life got fucked up for her and she is sad and joyless and now she has a year left.
It fucking sucks

Oh Pag

I don't know what to say losing a sibling is just bloody awful. I still think of my brother and I just want to scream about unfair it is that he is gone.

Fucking, fucking cancer...

Sending much, much love Pag xxx

Thank you Gibb.

You are so kind - I am sorry it reminded you of your loss.
It is shit though isn't it.

DS had his Elat Oxford thingy today and he showed me the poem they had .
It was this one

Oh Pag.

Shit.

and

I have no words to help. I hope she is able to squeeze some joy into the time she has left.

Much love from here too xxxxx

You need never apologise Pag - truly. I just am so sorry your sister and you and everyone that loves her has to go through this

That poem is just beautiful.

Thanks ladies

I will bugger off now and have a glass of wine.

I shall return in full amish gear tomorrow. Hopefully Culler jnr will assist my mood.

Thanks ladies. You are very lovely women xxx

We will make sure he is yours alone.

Have some wine and be gentle on yourself. You are probably in more shock than you realise xxx

Have a bottle. And a cake. Culler the Younger is very comforting.

accidentally clicked on this thread, and saw recent posts, so just wanted to say v. sorry Pagwatch about your sister (TotalChaos with a name change)

And a sly ( ), as I'm better at them than at words.

Paggy.

Hugs and love.

And life is shit sometimes. It just is and there's nothing we can do except love each other as much as we can.

More love and hugs.

Oh. Pag. Such utter shit. So so sorry.

xxx

Pag, so very sorry about your sister.

I keep writing words here, re-read them, think they're fatuous, and delete.

So, just - hugs and love. xx

Pag - so sorry
