(((sigh)))

Can we just accept that Nomad is quirky and there really is no why ?

My utterings are meant to be odd and off the wall with no explanation needed.

Its Nomads signiature to flit in and about saying the first thing that comes to his mind.

Its extremely deflating to have to justify my presence here. I think most understand Im merely being silly.

Perhaps our differences are culturally based, perhaps our age differences are a factor or it could simply be that our personalities are extreme opposites.

Any of the above is ok with me.

Youre ok with me.

Im ok with me.

Forum Garden is a place for me to be foolish and stupid and Im grateful Im allowed to come here and be that.

As the great Mr Rogers loved to say..."wont you be my friend"?

Mine's been planned for ages, plot bought, music chosen, flowers chosen - one of the things about working in the funeral business is that you think about your own!

Music -

Highland cathedral, Puccini's prelude whatsit doodah (got the CD, it'll be found!) and Into the West by Annie Lennox.

Recently hubby did a funeral and as the curtains went round there was supposed to be Vera Lynn singing 'Sally' as that was the lady's name, unfortunately the wrong cd came out of the case and she went off to

'Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye' :rolleyes: (true!)
