to wonder what IPOAT stands for?

[Hullygully]

Oh it is just so awful.
So sad and so unfair

have not posted 'cos I just don't know what to say. Not sure what is happening, on the thread but hugs to Gibbs and all.

I think we are all utterly overcome, mini. Edgar is a sterling poster on IPOAT, and is very dear to us all.

I remember when when brother died,. I was seven. I had been the baby until then. My poor parents were so overwhelmed by grief that they could not look after us children, emotionally. So I know, from another viewpoint, how hard it is to lose a child. Us children grieved alone, uncomforted, and riddled with guilt. For me, I can feel solace from knowing that Edgar and MrEdgar will not make the mistakes my parents made.

Sorry to make that about me.

when Edgar is ready there will always be a plethora of lace and nonsense to sustain her here.

I bought a little candle in a jar today and it's burning in my window for Poe Minor. It smells like vanilla cake.

:( I'm sorry for what you went through, Mimi. Hey, where are you from again? Is it by me?

Mimi. I didn't know that Edgar was an IPOAT regular. So now understand a bit more. MY dh's parents lost a child age 2, and it has had lots of repercussions in the family, affecting everyones emotional health. She has only just started to talk about it, she is 87.

I don't know Edgar but the whole story is unbelievably sad. I count my blessings for my two healthy tearaways, however challenging they are on occasion.

Edgar was part of our merry band several threads ago. In fact Mr Poe and I were married, although he was always very lugubrious and in the end I had to jettison him in search of dancing and thrusting pecs.

It is shit. I am so sorry for Edgar and her family. I don't know what else to say. Except that it is just shit.

Mini, am sorry for your MIL, and agree that sometimes things are just so hard to talk about. I hope it helps that she can, however late in life, talk about it to you.

Mimi, I have typed so many messages for you and deleted them, because I just can't find the right words. What an awful thing that your parents treated you so when your brother died. I can understand how pole-axed they felt, but how horrible for you and how you felt then.

I do understand a little bit, having lost two brothers as young adults.

Wish I could go back in time and just hug little Mimi. xx

We can do nothing but try and love each other and struggle onwards, enjoying as much of it as we possibly can.

Thank you princess, little Mimi would have muchly appreciated it!

"Lots of white wine, and chocolates to scoff
A couple of rollies and a fit bloke to boff..."

I'm going for the classy look, ya know.

It suits you, Mimi.

What news on the internet chappy front?

Internet boys. Bah.

Date with busker was tedious. He talked about himself nonstop. I mean nonstop.

I have one last one tomorrow night, and then I am knocking it on the head. I am not even thinking about this one to be honest, just can't get myself in the mood.

Sigh!

I need a good Sheik!

though was faintly intrigued by the professional bodyguard/amateur street photographer who looks like Dolph Lundgren. But he's in Shanghai, so can't see that going anywhere at all!

"Lots of bad telly and a long cozy nap
Greasy bad chips and a fine well hung chap...
These are a few of my faaaaaaavvvorite things!"

:o

Mimi, where are you from? Answer me! PM me! Do it! (Since Hully's taken over my Pollyanna bit, I am released from my niceness and get to be demanding. Huzzah!)

oh poor Cheerful, have I raised your hopes of a fellow compatriot? Sadly 'tis not so, I am from this sceptred kingdom, alas.

Oh Lordy, have I been confusing nn again?

Sigh...it appears I have.

Oh, I must just arf with delight at Hully and her maritime kaftan on S&B! Masterful work!

People are being so nice about her magnificent breasts and penchant for sailors.
