Ageing. It's a Bugger....

Be happy that young women can even register your presence.

yes but it’s for all the wrong reasons

 

[Barrymagrec]

I feel I’m becoming number one and fear progressing to number 2 and 3. I first noticed a couple of years ago that young women were holding doors open for me and shop keepers were unusually helpful and solicitous.

I was really pissed some years ago when a young woman on the tube offered me her seat.

Does anyone associate with the following titles?

old codger
old fart
old git

Not so much of the 'old', but the rest fits, unless you substitute t for c in the first line, whereupon many more adjectives can be applied.

Perhaps she thought your uncertain swaying and staggering was likely to result in injury to yourself or others.

Do you? We need to connect with ongoing education before posting useless posts.

So your dad's about the same age as Keith Richards and you want to tie him down.

An unfair and insensitive point.

It was a cry for kelp.

Why that was nothing, she should have seen me later.

You old roué.

Lifeline thingy activated for my mum today. She feels like its an intrusion on her independence, until I explained it actually helps her independence. We will see how it goes. Next thing is a key safe...

And mine.

I urge you and your family to include a small amount of seaweed in your diet on a daily basis- as a preventative (possibly) to deter future adverse health consequences.

I have done so for many decades and have had no illness. I should have died half a century ago- given my state and how I was living.

Seaweed is a natural product. It contains, in balanced form, many vitamins and trace elements missing from farmed products, due to the soils they are grown in being depleted by chemicals, fertilisers and unwise commercial practices.

Our cat (Higgs) loves his Seaside Mix - I expect it contains Seaweed as well as fish so he`ll be O.K.

When was the last time you saw Boson? Was it just paw prints in the litter tray?

It might be an idea to email the supplier to Higgs, and aske whether:

1) Seaside Mix (in the size you get ) contains seaweed: and

2) if so, how much per tin/pack (in weight) or proportional amount;

3) what kind of seaweed.

I am not a cat man. However, I have given it to my birds (both feathered and not feathered) for years.
There exists extensive, scientific published research on its effects on various animals.

Suggest you have look at the SEAGREENS website, and contact their information service. They will be able to give you detailed advice on kind and dosage for cats. I can tell you that it has a good effect on the coat of dogs and, at a guess, the same will hold true for cats. I could be wrong.

The best thing about seaweed is its preventative effects on ill health. I have been taking it since the early 1970s- half a century or so- and have had no illness and only a few colds and complaints. I put this down to the seaweed. I could be wrong.

Regards to Higgs.
Meow.

He`s always gone before he arrives.

In other news....

As of today I am now 'on the list' at Wrightington Hospital for a 'double' TKR, which translates as Total Knee Replacement in both knees. Waiting time is 6-12 months for the first op and then all being well the second one 6 months later. So, with luck and a following wind I may be able to walk without pain sometime in the next 18 months.

Which is nice...

Good luck. It's all about the Physio post op. Listen hard and do it and then, do a bit more. I'll send tissues
Worth it tho.

Good progress, Mull and exc. news. However, the best place for knee op's is Neasden Hospital, (NW London) and to be attended by a nurse called Denise.
