    It's the first few minutes of Friday morning here in the best part of the world. ...my Mother died of Melanoma at the age of 40. With my little Sister dying of the same thing 7 years 8 months later at 28 I'm not a happy boy. So after work tomorrow and the drive back home from Canberra I'm going to smash a large chunk of Bundy Rum and whatever top shelf beer I buy. Elephanting sunshine of a life, I expect to post something angry and drunk in 18 to 20 hours from now.

        Aw that's really too bad. My uncle died of C a few years ago - and I did meet him on his last evening. But that's a long way from the really close people. Hang in there mate. Hang in there.

            Thanks Pete, I'm going to look for a Stout or Dark Ale and if I can find something within budget and that looks nice something from the UK is in order.

                                  Dealing with the loss of a loved one is never an easy elephanting task, Michael. :( At least, they are living in your memories, and that's a honour you're doing them, and it proves how much you love them. I can elephanting appreciate you for that. May life bring peace to you. :rose:

                                    I completely understand how you feel, I lost my Mom to cancer 17 years ago when she was 54, last year the wife’s mom same crap at 60. I hate the elephant’ing cancer :rose::rose::rose::rose::rose:

                                    It was broke, so I fixed it.

                                      Primarily because it's the only instance a wife looks beautiful to the eyes?

                                        It's the first few minutes of Friday morning here in the best part of the world. ...my Mother died of Melanoma at the age of 40. With my little Sister dying of the same thing 7 years 8 months later at 28 I'm not a happy boy. So after work tomorrow and the drive back home from Canberra I'm going to smash a large chunk of Bundy Rum and whatever top shelf beer I buy.
