10/26/2008 .We desperately need donors
I wasn't quite aware just how badly we knead donors here in this world of ours. Until last Saturday
It's a very sad fact that people are dying all over the world in nead of a transplant I find it so sad that we cant sign that paper to say yes you can take my organs when I die I guess some are afraid some just don't want to do it everyone has that right but I believe here in the UK if you don't say before you die then the hospital can make use of your organs without any consent from a living relative I think that is now going ahead so that's how desperate things have got. I am not sure if that is the right way or not all I know I am very happy to give any organs they think fit to take from me I t may be the last chance I get to do some good and after all they will be no good to me will they. The reason I have put this down on my place is because a wk last Saturday my work mate lost his wife I have known them for about sixteen years and I think im right in saying his wife has been on the waiting list for over fourteen years so a long time. her Kidneys failed and so she needed a transplant ,she has done very well doing her own dialysis from home but for the last year or so she has had many problems infections unable to eat loss of just going on I guess but she kept going for her family and of course new grandchildren kept her going to sadly she went into hospital because her dialysis was not working from home she had this done in hospital My mate said she was cheerful Saturday but went down hill very fast at the night time and then lost her fight.
Monday my mate returns to work and so I guess that's what has made me think about him and his wife so I just wanted to make people see how urgent it is to sign that little card and help someone to live if anything does happen to you like I said before your organs are of no use to you after are they . I have taken a few bits of info for anyone intested and added a coupler pf pictures from a few pages I have visited so go on donate today.

The NKF, in conjunction with Novartis, released a poster and leaflets to R 10/19/2008 A sad time at work againWell it's sad times again at work I have not had much to put here in the last few wk's as I feel a little down with work as we are all aware things have gone a little quiet in I guess most countries with the prob's with all the banks . I guess I am lucky I still have my job but a couple of mates aren't so lucky one is being moved to a job he doesn't want another is being finished another has been given the sack for misconduct I guess he would have kept his job a few months ago but this is a good excuse to get rid of him. We make Metal detectors for most industrial places food garments you name it they have to have them now in the UK it is law to have them if you are doing anything with food so I guess that's the case in most countries we are the world leaders in this and have been now for a good few years . I think i am right in saying most go to America and and the rest of the world have a good share we sell over one hundred a week so god knows where they all go but they do well that's until all the prob's slowed the economy down. I have a reasonable work record so I think I may be safe but the only prob is what job i would be given if they take my driving job away as I am limited to what I can do with this dam flue thing I have without my morphine pills I am like a old man so as you can guess that's why I went driving fifteen years ago to get off my feet and do something that didn't’ take anything out of me energy wise . Maybe if they give me a bad job I should ask them too finish me and hope to get a driving job but as we get older jobs are hard to get unless it's on a agency and they don't really look good to me your just a number to them mind you a lot of people in the place I work say that about our wok place so there you go. When it was the old company the owners treated you like a real part of the factory almost like a family ,member as it was almost like a family run bushiness not just profit well they had to make profit but not at any expense to the workforce . I remember when I used to tell the owner off for running on the shop floor he used to stop and walk as he was laughing but you know that man treated you like a good human being we don't even see the director on the shop floor now. sad but that's the way it has gone. Well I guess ill start to look out for a driving job just in case I may take one on part time and then if anything happens I have a better chance of keeping it full time we will see. OK I have got that off my chest so im going to have a look around the net see some old mates on spaces maybe have a look at one of my old webpages perhaps update one or two I may even correct the bad spelling as you all know by now my grammar is bad to say the least but nothing to serious for me here it's a bit of fun ill never make a writer nor do I want to lol so until nexed time by by for now.

10/18/2008 .A guy is 70 years old and loves to fish. He was sitting in his boat the other day when he heard a voice say, 'Pick me up.' He looked around and couldn't see any one. He thought he was dreaming when he heard the voice say The man said, 'Are you talking to me?' The frog said, 'Yes, I'm talking to you. Pick me up then, kiss me & I'll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen. I'll make sure that all your friends are envious & jealous because I will be your bride!' The man looked at the frog for a short time, reached over, picked it up carefully, & placed it in his front breast pocket. Then the frog said, 'What, are you nuts? Didn't you hear what I said? I said kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride.' He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said, With age comes wisdom. 10/12/2008 .10/8/2008 A bit of funWhy, Why, Why? Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are almost dead? Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they already know there is not enough money?
Why does someone
believe you when you say there are four billion stars; but have to check when you say the paint is still wet? Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?
Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'lisp'?
If people evolved from apes,
why are there still apes? Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
Is there ever a day that mattresses
are not on sale? Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?
Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?
How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?
Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?
In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat? How come you never hear father-in-law jokes? And my FAVORITE...... The statistics on sanity is that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you. ****A day without a smile is like a day without sunshine!**** 10/5/2008 Ruby WeddingA special day for Sheila and me
I met Sheila quite by accident one day over forty years ago outside a cafe where I used to hang out with my mates. on this okation as soon as I saw Sheila I said to my mate keep your eyes off she is mine. that sounds a bit bad as though she is a piece of baggage that I had found but it wasn't meant that way ,as my mate was a bit of a lad with the girls I wanted to make it quite clear that I fancied Sheila and that there was no way he was going to get in my way at no cost .
you see My mate could get any girl he wanted they just went for him I have no idea why but they did so he was warned and as I was the barmy one he knew when to take notice of me.
I asked Sheila out to a party that day and we met up at one of our friends that we both new after chatting with Sheila I couldn't help but notice how attractive her eyes were and to this day I tell her how attractive her eyes are she still thinks im barmy . I tried to get a quick kiss off her she bit my lip and from then on in we never really left each others side lol
Well we have had four great kids sadly one boy died at the age of three months his name is Paul we will never forget him he will always be a part of our family. God bless you Paul.
we have a great daughter Paula who is a very attractive girl and has two lovely kids a boy and a girl who we both love very much.
We have two sons one is called Michael and the youngest is called Jason Michael has five sons and Jason has one son and with one son in law and two daughter in law I think we can say we have a great family and again we love them all all are really great people so I guess we are so lucky .
Sheila and I have had our bad times but we never gave up on each other and I will always remember Sheila's mam saying that he was no good and that you'l be sorry ,mother in laws hey we ended up being great friends.
My Mother and Father worshiped the ground Sheila walked on they thought she was a great girl but we were to young to stay together we should wait till we are alder I here them say as we were in our teens so young to know what we wanted
Well to anyone who says your to young to know I think we got it right as tomorrow Sheila and I have been married for forty years . If I had my time again I would do lots of things differently but I would still want Sheila by my side. and what a load of stick im going to get from my mates when they read this but you know I don't care I mean every word of it . So thanks to my family and thanks to my Sheila and here's to the nexed ten years
10/4/2008 mm well I neverHave you ever hired or borrowed a car and when arriving at the petrol station wondered...mm, which side is the petrol filler cap? My normal solution was to stick my head out the window, strain my neck and look, try to see in the side mirrors or even get out of the car! Well ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to share with you my little secret so you will no longer look like Ace Ventura on your way to the petrol station or put your neck at risk of discomfort or injury. If you look at your petrol gauge, you will see a small icon of a petrol pump? The handle of the petrol pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the petrol pump? If your tank is on the left, the handle will be on the left? If your tank is on the right, the handle will be on the right (see photo). It is that simple! Well it may not be the most exciting information for you but I must admit in all the years I have been driving I never noticed this.
another email I received if any of you like unusual pictures this is a one in a lifetime one. When the lightning flashes, this is NOT what you want to see. |
