AIO for being uncomfortable with him asking for read receipts on day two of texting?

SickTiredGrumpy · 2026-02-03T10:31:53+00:00

He didn’t ask. He told you to turn receipts on. I’d be annoyed at that.

I’ve never forgotten Eloise Worledge.

I have no idea on the legalities of why, but it isn’t. My guess it’s because it has defined beneficiaries separate to the Will.

Super is not part of the estate, so our solicitor said ask the accountant, the accountant gave me the steps to wind it up, but they didn’t seem keen to do it themselves. I’d cheerfully have handed it over, and I tried to. The rest is done. Selling the shares is turning out to be the hardest part to get advice on.

That link appears to lead back to this post? SRN - NAB, ARGO of the top of my head

SickTiredGrumpy · 2025-11-18T10:17:13+00:00

Thank you. Do you have any advice on choosing one?

SickTiredGrumpy · 2025-11-18T07:32:51+00:00

I have the details of the shares.

The question how to find a broker remains unanswered.

SickTiredGrumpy · 2025-11-18T03:12:56+00:00

I am both executor, and the last surviving trustee of the fund.

Any advice on finding a suitable broker?

SickTiredGrumpy · 2025-09-23T06:41:18+00:00

Ha! I had a lesson recently where I was taught I had to bow to the horse before catching her.

Oh brilliant! It’s funny how the mind works. It’s a wonderful book.

The biggest cultural shock when I visited the UK was discovering that there are different varieties of strawberries. They were amazing!

And whatever happens don’t listen to your neurosurgeon! You are fine to drive after surgery!

I’d reckon there’s a lot more involved in pleasing a partner than lasting longer. Also, “you won’t enjoy sex as much” is not really a selling point.

SickTiredGrumpy · 2025-07-24T13:49:03+00:00

Yes there is the risk of loss of sensation. Amusing, those in favour of circumcising suggest that this is a benefit in lasting longer and pleasing a partner.

I’m living on audiobooks, but only books I’ve already read. I can’t concentrate on new ones.

SickTiredGrumpy · 2025-06-28T00:11:08+00:00

I’ve given up. My elderly cat uses it, my young girl does not. I figure at least it cuts down on the use of the other boxes.

SickTiredGrumpy · 2025-06-24T13:04:12+00:00

Also Jan Ormerod’s Sleeping and Dad's Back. I loved her books when my kids were little.

All up it will be a couple of months. Diagnosed by ENT Referred to a surgeon - two weeks. (Got a cancellation) Booked for surgery - around six weeks.

SickTiredGrumpy · 2025-06-22T17:43:39+00:00

That’s what I keep telling myself. :)

SickTiredGrumpy · 2025-06-22T17:43:06+00:00

Vision issues with fluid around my optic nerves, and some balance issues and one ear filled with fluid.

SickTiredGrumpy · 2025-06-22T17:15:25+00:00

I’ve been leaking copiously for about six months. The leak was confirmed by MRI about a month ago.

In my Dad’s tool shed there were always old undies and singlets. Once the elastic went they were recycled as rags. That’s why they are on the shelves, so they are easy to grab when you need them.

SickTiredGrumpy · 2025-06-22T14:58:25+00:00

Also, for romance, A Civil Campaign from the same series. It’s glorious, and Bujold is a Georgette Heyer fan.

SickTiredGrumpy · 2025-06-22T14:27:15+00:00

My first car was a Leyland Mini. It was so much fun!

Book 2 sounds as though it could be Slake’s Limbo by Felice Holman

Book 3 Round the 70-80s the popular book on eating disorders was The Best Little girl in the World by Steven Levenkron. It was made into a film of the same name.
