Gambling is legal as is alcohol… at least gambling just leads to debtors prison whereas acohol leads to early death.

Addiction is addiction

I am in no way excusing what he did, the man is a monster, but why.. oh why was someone who had his kind of psychological profile allowed close contact with such a small child, and why… was a schizophrenic mother and her mothering ability not followed up carefully, particularly as the father was this particular man.

I suppose that nobody would believe that anyone would do what he did to a tiny baby.

It is just so very very sad.

Care in the community..another disastrous legacy from the Thatcher government.

I wait for him, not knowing where he is, wondering if he’s ok.
I keep myself busy. Time goes faster that way.
I go to sleep alone, and wake up alone. I take walks. I work until I’m tired.
Why is love intensified by absence?

My daughter loves that book. It is on the pile of books waiting for me to get round to reading.

However, what she should have done is….

Had her hair done and got some retail therapy
Gone out with friends for a meal and to the theatre
Enjoyed the fact she had the bed to herself cos he takes up so much room
And thought I wonder if he’ll stay away another night cos i am enjoying this

and i,,in response DID say id rather the ” pat on back” for wee ones rather than the Heimlich ! as i have done with my own..

ruby it is a pat on the back for little tiny ones, and it is the heimlich for older ones. And yes it is good to have a refresher and know you know what to do. As parents we have all had to do emergency first aid and have used common sense i’m sure, even if we hadn’t had any official training.

We also use “old wives tales” like putting butter on burns etc (incidentally don’t do this, just immerse the burned bit as soon as possible into cold water !!! or if it is really really bad apparently you can put cling film over the burn to keep it clean until you get to hospital, but that is for when all the skin is coming off eeek).

Maybe this thread should be turned into a general hints and tips on what to do in emergencies. :)

Thats interesting sharon. But I guess you could say that lyrics for songs are just poetry set to music. Whiter shade of pale.. it is a lovely line isn’t it.

sarcasm is what it is.. no more no less

No heavenly choirs
Not for me and not for you

I think you know the truth.

Oh and just to illustrate the point.. who would bother to put a link to a site about First Aid and asphyxia if they were joking???????

Gawd..you all obviously wouldn’t recognise sarcasm if it painted itself purple and did a tap dance on a harpsichord whilst singing….Sarcasm is here again!!! :shock:

I love that one Pepper. I think i’ve heard it being read, but didn’t know it was Joyce.
