"Updates"!!...

Tuesday 24th August...went with angry daughter (she had no-one else to go with her)...her words not mine!!...To her endoscopy appointment (camera down throat) ... she reminded me as we were about to venture out the front door, dad this is a 3 hour appointment!!...Why don’t you take one of your stupid reading books??...

so I rushed back upstairs picked up "Million Pound Sales Letters" ... by Jeremy Taylor. Now I’m not quite sure why??...But as I reached the last step I said hold on love...Claude Hopkins and David Ogalvie always say take a pen or pencil with you at all times!!... You just never know when a great "Header" will pop into your mind.

She/Claire my precious said:-...dad I don’t care which one of your sado friends said it ... get your stuff "taxis here in 2". Two what??...I never had a clue!!...
But before I went through the door I checked I had everything I need for the foreseeable. Wallet, watch, texxxxxes, spectacles, reading material and a couple of pencils...not forgetting my trusty notepad.

So me and this other chap are sat in the shoe box...sorry waiting room. He’s busy reading from a sort of celebrity glam mag thing. I’m twiddling my thumbs. We passed a few words...Him about how time goes so slow when you are waiting??... Me about the drivel in the news paper and the type of mags he was reading...he said wife buys bucket loads of these every month...always thought they were rubbish but I picked this up from the table and the 2 stories iv`e just read are half sensible!!...

I actually know a very famous marketer who swears by getting them for up to date info...ready for the next best info product!!...Next thing, nurse comes out and says the procedures are bit slow today!!... (to much information ) thank-you.

"Go down stairs and grab a t or coffee if you want"??...He did I didn’t!!...

So as boredom set in I picked up my copy writing book and started to read...next thing "BANG"!!...An idea for a piece of copy ive been working on for months just hit me "right between the eyes"!!...

Out came the pencil and pad me frantically writing...never noticed the bloke come back...his wife come out from her procedure and them leave together...or the old lady with the specs be picked up by her sister. "No"!!...I was in full flow...In copy heaven...I was "In the zone"!!...

Next thing I remember is nurse saying "dad she come round now, you can come inside and wait"...so reluctantly I packed away and went inside to mss sleepy head.
Rest of the evening I’m cooking cleaning up and falling into bed exhausted...

Thinking to myself "How the hell did I do all this and work full time"!!...

If your a man...never ever EVER criticize you wife, lover or partner and say something like "but you only look after the kids and the house"..."what could be that hard"!!...Its called house work and worth a fortune, when done properly??...

Wednesday she’s run me ruddy ragged..."dad get us a drink"... "dad get us a sarnie"... "dad get us some more pain killers"!!...I will ruddy kill her if she keeps on...Gees she was really starting to do my head in!!...I actually think, looking back on it she was just enjoying all the "piece and quiet and attention"

Her two nippers are at sisters for a few days. Till she properly up and about again. Thank god today Thursday being the second day...she’s up and about a bit today and I can get my copy ideas into a readable format!!...

That’s if I can read two day old scrawl??...So if I hadn’t taken the advice from those three people my six month old copy...would still be 6 months old!!...

Till the next time. ...

"Any-one for F.A.C.T??"...

Hi All:-...
The other reason ive not been in for a while. Despite thinking i dont give a monkeys chuff for her. Daughters not been to well, blood in her loo.
Been to doctors on and off for a couple of weeks now!!...
They thought it might be a bleeding ulcer...Then gallstones, Now its decided time for the camera??...
Find out whats really is going on!!...

This morning Sunday 22nd august we were in the kitchen when she said she was so relieved her appointment was nearly here!!...

As usual i put my size ten in it!!...
I asked her if she was worried at all??...
I then said about my friends dad, never ill. Worked 6 days a week for donkeys years. Self employed builder, started to feel unwell. Told his wife didnt feel right would take couple days off...then back to it when he felt better??...

They had a great life!!...Money, foreign travel twice a year, new cars and a decent sized house...they had more than most...especially for a self employed builder!!...

Wasn`t getting better, usual story off to doctors...tests...tests...tests
eventually hospital. No cameras in them days, into hospital cut open throat to navel...his body full of cancer.
They basically sewed him up, sent him home to die.

That he did just a couple of months later!!...

I was merely trying to point out that some lifestyle changes were in order. She, Claire got hold of the wrong end of the stick...As usual!!...
I was only trying to explain about takeaway food having added salt and stuff...She went into one. Ive not had take away lately!!...

When i worked it out, she had eaten out six times in less than two weeks!!...
She said "Salad and sandwiches are not take away??...

Now:-...Correct me if im wrong here...but would the definitive meaning of takeaway mean "something not eaten at home...as in "Taken Away??"...

Usual row ensued. It seems we dont know how to communicate properly anymore!!...We must have done once upon a time though, surely??...
She is quite a bit overweight see...and as far as im concerned, I`m a concerned Parent!!...

Claire on the other hand thinks,
"I keep on and on at her-and for no good reason"!!...
Theres another sticking point...
Is concern a reason??... Or is it interfering??...

The facts are:-...
She`s had an internal bleed!!...
She`s about eight/nine/ten stone overweight!!...
She doesn`t really do any exercising!!...
It`s buses, buses, taxis...taxis TAXIS!!...
What happened to walking??...
She never wants to take her kids to the park!!...
She does very little house work!!...

So my question is as a concerned parent, worried about diabetes, being overweight not exercising.
Grandkids being without there mum. Then every parents worst nightmare..
"Burying your child"!!...

Am i infact
"Being Worried...or Paranoid"!!...
"Concerned or Annoying"!!...
"Criticizing or A Complete Ass"!!...

I am seriously thinking of starting a F.A.C.T. blogg...
"Fathers Against Confrontational Twentysomethings!!"...

It would be a place where not only dads but all parents to vent there concerns about there childrens health. Right from eating disorders, smoking, drinking far too much!!...

There would be free guides...free advice. Of course the solution wont be free.
A diet guide book for instance might be £20-00...but if it would save your life!!...

Ive already tried to offer these actual books and cds to my daughter. She says, She`ll read them when shes ready!!...

I know:-..."You cant force some one to do what they dont want to do"!!..., but, You can offer advice...and listen!!...

There could be a "Twentysomethings response area". Maybe an area where professional people could be asked to comment. And of course the "Concerned Parents Questions"??...

Seriously:-...I`m thinking of starting this??...


Till the next time. ...

"OH-NO"...Iv`e done it AGAIN"!!...

Hi All:-...

So after the scan incident she has to wait a few days before going back to her own doctors to get the latest results...if the nodules are bigger or something like that??...
I dont ask...and she dont say!!...

I`ve decided to stay a few days as shes really jumpy and twitchy. Shes not normally like this...So i guess theres been some changes??...

My daughter phones says Shannon my granddaughter wants to come up??...She puts Shannon on the phone in tears. I explain best i can to a 3 year old Sorry shes a big girl now she said shes 4 Gwampy!!...

I passify her by telling her "Gwampy will bring you back a special surprise at the end of the week"!!...She asks what??...I said "I cant tell you now, Its going to be a big surprise"!!...

2 days later edz is busy baking more scrummy chocolate brownies..."not quite like the ones at school dinner, with the thick pink blamange"!!...Oh well you cant have it all. But they are rather good!!...

Ive been reading, Back starts to go into spasms I decide to go out into the garden, get some fresh air. Next thing i hear this horse coming. Its going at a fair old rate...nothing surprising there though. She lives right in the Oxfordshire countryside hundreds of horse riders there!!...

As it approaches, i expected to see a competent horse person in charge...but "NO, It was riderless"!!...I shouted whoa boy as it approached the main road. Much to my surprise it stopped almost dead in its stride. Took one look at me and run off towards the main A40.

Well long story shortened, lady catches up with it in her car. Leaves her car and brings the horse back to me...

We look good together...Dont we??...

Pictures opposite...incase you never noticed!!...

After about an hour...bucket of water and half a lawn later (was going to hire it out for "Organic Lawn`Care"!!) ...

So horse returned to a local ladies stable awaiting its owner.
Owner found horse returned.
Owner comes round couple days later gives edz and i a box of chocs and a card. Thanks us and said it was spooked by a huge horse from next door getting through the hedge into its field!!...

So while its in my care edz took this picture, sends it to Shannon. "Fantastic she said grampy`s got my horse"!!...

Yes I had promised her...when grampy is wealthy you can have blah blah blah...
Shannon says "Can i have my own horse grampy"??...
You already know what i told her

Dont forget:-...

"Your Thought Really Do Come True"!!...

Hi All:-...

Yes its true, the first time i heard this i thought ..."yep Americanism`s"!!...

Lisa Dianne said about her car being repossessed, the home her and her family were living in was in-foreclosure.

Her friends and family begged her to "Get a proper job"!!...

But she said she knew "Her Thoughts Really Would Create Her Life"!!...
She went on believing and thinking about how her new life would be...about "Prosperity and Abundance"!!...

Just six months later..."BANG"!!... Her new life started to take shape. As she tells in her story, "How the condo on the beech arrived...her sons hummer arrived...her two xjs jags arrived...money flowed to her freely and easily from multiple streams of income"!!...

But what has this to do with us??...I hear you ask, Right well I know this worked for me once...Theres 2 red leather sofas upstairs to prove it. Trouble was "i asked for them to come into the family home"??...

...Just weeks later they arrived, though not mine. There upstairs in my daughters and her childrens rooms.

"I Should have been a lot more specific"!!...

"Whatever you wish for remember...
Your Thoughts Really Do Create Your Life"!!...

So, "Please Be CAREFUL What YOU Are Thinking About??...


Till the next time. ...

"Expect the unexpected...An N.H.S.Hospital??"...

Hi All:-...
First an apology, Ive not been in here for a while...but there are a couple of reasonable excuses, trust me!!...

Right well about three weeks ago my sister edz asks me to go to with her while she has her 3 monthly cancer scan. She`s dying of terminal cancer...and yes it was caused by smoking fags one after the other for... well over 40 years!!...

So the day arrives...off we trot to hospital. All seems normal at first, then i notice as were almost there her driving attitude changes...and she starts getting all twitchy like!!...

Obviously i ask if alls o/k??... ... she says in a half hearted snappy kinda way "I`m fine!!"...

So cars parked in we go...i can see she`s really unsure now, Good job when we get to the revelant desk and handed in letter along comes a nurse. Edz xxxxxxxx`xxxxxxx

Edz says my appointments not for fifteen minutes love. Nurse says yes love we need the patients today...every one seems to be late!!...

In she goes...ten minutes later shes back out...Just sit here for a minute she says...then well go.
Well just two minutes later and were off.

We left the hospital before her appointment time!!...
And it was an N.H.S. hospital.

There is a lesson to be learned here,
"Expect the unexpected...And it might just arrive!!"...

Till the next time. ...
"May your success be far more than you expected!"
