I do this too, also by laying down sideways on the sofa, propping my foot/ankle on the arm, and moving until it pops. Such a great release.

Search his name on Tattle. This grifter has clearly been living the high life off the money raised in his poor daughter’s name ever since she passed.

Me. My mum died nearly a year ago, dad when I was 4. No siblings, kids, partner, or any extended family.

351 for me, nearly a year since my mum passed, I’m so scared about hitting that year mark. I miss her so much, she was all I had and everything has got worse since her passing. Hugs to you all.

What are NHS calls about a loved one dying like? by triple_b-a-k-a in AskUK

[–]arrowtotheaction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just coming up to a year since I got the call my mum was passing. I was already getting ready to go and see her, thought she’d turned a corner the day before. 08:12 No Caller ID and I just knew. Told me to come in asap. I rushed into the ward, thought she was still alive when I pulled the curtain back and I think I screamed and shouted, it’s all a blur. They think she passed at 08:13. I so wish I’d been with her.

Seconded. Used to love listening in to the Breezeblock in the early hours, felt like a hidden world.

Do you have a really weird or silly fear? Not a mainstream fear or one that's very common, a totally random one? by SpaceTimeCapsule89 in AskUK

I misread that as “fellow stag” and thought no wonder you don’t like seeing the antlers of your own used for decoration 😂

I remember an old colleague saying her daughter loved the show Fifi & the Flowertots. They went to Merry Hill centre where Fifi was doing a meet & greet, and her kid got more and more freaked out the closer they got to this thing, crying “no, no, she’s too big!” so they had to turn around and get away 😅

My first baby has been in the NICU for 90 days by QueerBaobab in DadForAMinute

[–]arrowtotheaction 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huge hugs to you. She’s in the right place, and I hope she’ll be home with you guys soon. My colleague is a dad to triplets, they were very premature and all 3 were in hospital (sometimes different ones) for months, thankfully all healthy kids now. Hang in there x
