Apologies

Hello one and all,

I apologise for not having been around as much as I would have liked, but alot has and is going on, primarily my health and my Mums has been very bad to say the least, but also in between I have been trying to work hard on my own site, I do and have missed you guys n gals and am sorry I have not been around, I hate neglecting people, Hyde does'nt, but thats him all over, but I do.

Just wanted to say that I am back again although for how long I do not know, but this is an everyday situation.

My dear ol Mum has had terrible toothache and had to have root canal treatment after having had to take 2 courses of antibiotics for a toothache, they did not get rid of the pain altogether and this afternoon she had the root canal treatment, and now has to take painkillers for the next 3 days or so until it calms down, but she says its on fire right now, and so thats getting her and me depressed, I have had a very bad stomach bug, and the usual stuff.

But I hope to start to get back into things asap.

I hope I have not incurred anyones wrath here by disappearing therefore causing people to have a bad opinion of me, I can have that effect.

Anyway enough of my moanings

Hope you are all well

TTFN

Don't worry about it, we aren't all online at the same time so it's easy to miss someone. ;)

Hope your Mums toothache gets better soon and you start feeling better, I know what it's like to have a stomach bug and there's seems to be a lot of it going around this winter. :)

The weather we're having at the moment is enough to get anyone down :(

Hi Joan,

I feel a fool for posting about this, I know everyone is guilty of daft posts here and there, but I tend to make a habit of it :o not all of the first post was intended, but I just got carried away and could'nt stop my fingers from typing!! lol

Some of it was worded wrong and it came out giving the impression of the fact that I expect people to be here all the time, not meant like that really :D I know everyone has other things to do, and has to have time away from the comfort of their PC's, if only we could all stay at our PC's constantly, enjoying things, what a life that would be!! :D

My Mum is slightly better thank you for your well wishes for my Mum, she was taking the wrong painkillers for the after effects of the root canal treatment, turns out that she had to ring the Dentists and only then did they tell her to take Nurofen, why not tell her that when she was there beggars belief, but she is now taking them and feels a little better for it.

These stomach bugs are terrible, but for me I find I get stomach pains after everything I eat, and drink, but thats another horrid story.

As for the weather well its looking bad with a Siberian Blast headed for us, although I freak when the weather people start their predictions, I won't go into that as my temper would sore :mad:

I do like Snow though, prefer the cold to heatwaves, at least you can always do things to keep warm, whereas in the heat apart from going au naturelle (hope I spelt that right) and laying in a bath full of ice cubes, there is little else you can do.

Plus I can't at present use my PC in the Summer for gaming as my room is small and the amount of air I get in it is little, and the system gets seriously hot come the heat....still at least I can come here and chat and work on other projects, until I get my new Antec case, can't wait for that :D

I just hope it can hold a caddie Hard Drive

Hi Submarine,

I can't remember us speaking much, then again my memory leaves alot to be desired lol, but its nice to know that people don't forget you :D

Hi Brink, thank you :D

No we have not, but I am bit reserved I guess. Nevertheless, I read your posts and find them valuable.

Well normally I am reserved too, but when its a case of not having to be face to face with others then I am able to speak without being ridiculed and laughed at, although I have had my fair share of people being nasty to me on forums, but then they did'nt bargain for Hyde putting them in their place, only happened a couple of times, but I don't want that to happen here :)

Glad to know that I entertain you from time to time (even if I do talk a load of old cobblers lol) :D

Cor blimey!! me being able to help others out in Computer matters?!?!? this is unheard of, and not possible lol who'd have thought that!! lol me, I know nothing, I mean I struggle with the most basic of things to do with Computers, so it came as a major shock to me to see it say "Geek" and "Skilled" under my name :shock: lol

I do try though where I can :D

Nice for once in my life to see people having confidence in me, never had that at all before

Cheers

Hello SK,

Yes I could not stay away from here if I tried, and thats good, especially as every now and then there is something Vista related that I have a problem with, or I find a post by someone that I know I can help with, not many as yet, but in time I guess there will be more :D

Thanks for the comment about my Mum, she's so so right now, alot of other pains to contend with, me one of them too!!! and probably the largest :(

Hi
Jekyll and Hyde, drink plenty of water for your stomach problems and do not take any medicines. Many doctors suggest the water. Hope this helps.

Hi brummyfan,

I think you hit the nail on the head about the painkillers and I have been quite naughty but for a good reason, I'll explain:

As most know by now I am a Chronic Migraine Sufferer and have so many so often that it is unbearable so I got into a nasty habit of taking painkillers everyday, 2 in the afternoon, and two more at night, I did this for weeks and the Migraines kept away for longer, but in the end it would come again and then Stomach pains would follow, but as the gaps between the Migraines were further then normal I kept on doing this and only now am I desperately trying to stop that routine, it works to a point, but then I start it again :cry:

What makes it worse is that Hyde likes me to do it, and tends to come when he thinks I should start taking them again, yes I am a raving loonatic but with a Psycho inside :devil:

My Mum tries to stop me, but Hyde knocks her back (not phsyically I must add)

Vicious Circle springs to mind

I do drink water though

Jekyll and Hyde ;)

Well it did, but since then I have been back into Migraine, hence not having been back until now, still a bit shaky, but after having slept for 24 hours+ I would be lol :(

I'm sorry to hear about your girlfriend, and know exactly how she must feel, mine are very close to that, but maybe the odd day or so without, sometimes 2 if I'm lucky, but yes I have been on everything the Doctor can give me, being Epileptic means that alot of other methods or drugs are a no no
