where's Pooh?

I know I'm not on as often as I used to be, but it seems Pooh hasn't made an appearance in a few days

Although his last post was about three days ago, his last activity on the site was only a couple of hours ago (according to his profile page).

I'm sure he'll be fine and posting merrily away soon!

I'm OK - dealing with some heavy family medical crap now - drop in now & then to browse - and for a few laughs - will be back when I can - no need to check the KFC trash bins for green glasses.

Sorry you're going through that. When my Dad was dying it really split the family. My mom had put him into care and he kept begging to go home. Even a close family friend offered her home. That bitch denied a two pack a day smoker to go outside and have the occasional smoke, the facility actually had a smoking area as the age group reflected the smoking culture.

Even those condemned to die are allowed to smoke. His death was not handled well at all. We haven't spoken in 4 years. I have up sending birthday and Christmas gifts, they were never acknowledged.

I hope it doesn't go this badly for you pooh. There really was no reason for this. An overwhelming control freak ego needed to orchestrate everything.

Sorry, off soapbox

Sorry to hear you're having some trials Poohbear_nc. Dealing with family illness is never easy. I agree with Kindlekitten that we often find people not always dealing with things the best when an older family member is ill or dying. We don't seem to have a culture where our elders are given the consideration they deserve much anymore. People often are more concerned about what they will inherit than they are about the person they will inherit from. It shouldn't be that way. Especially if it's a parent. Our elders deserve our respect. After all they kept us safe when we were little. Anyway I will have you in my thoughts and prayers.

I just figured he needed to roam free for a while.

(Hope that was worth a laugh!)
