Well on topic, people with umbrellas (Oroton or not) shit me. campaigners stroll around without a care in the world for the eyes of other people on the footpath, just so their pointy little heads won't get wet. **** me people are petrified of a little bit of water, it's amazing.
I do not remember the last time I used a brolly. Perhaps because I am fortunate to have a basement car park at work. Oh wait, it would've been at golf (i have an official golf club branded umbrella)

Well, I found out things are pretty shit at home when I got back after work.

I have mentioned before how we had a newborn daughter who passed away, but now we're experiencing some complications with my wifes health as a result of the birth.

I really don't feel like doing anything today and that includes going to the game tonight. I already have tickets so I will, but even we win, I won't be enjoying it very much.
For mine there is nothing worse than the life of a child/baby being taken away from us. I am tearing up here. My thoughts with you and your wife in this time of need mate.

It just goes to show how frivolous we as a human race are when it comes to complaining about things. Puts things into perspective.

I'd be ecstatic to see an 89 on mine.
I started my weight loss on 88.8 - got down to 83.8 and this morning I'm back on 85.4... I'm not really doing any exercise though so that explains it. Althouigh when the weather warms up, I'll start going for walks and stuff. At the end of the day, I just like doing the diet because it sort of forces me to eat healthy.

I'm really sorry to hear that - I hope that your wife's health improve and that good news come her way. It's terrible enough that you had to lose a child but to have complications occur adds another level to that heartbreak. Good luck to both of you - stay strong and be there for each other

I know a lot of people don't, which would be a gigantic pain in the butt (and wherever their umbrella spokes poke you); but I always at least try to incline my umbrella to the side, well away from anyone I'm about to walk past, and only put it fully back over my head when I've completely passed them. I don't always completely succeed, but I at least give it a go. A temporary soaking for me is infinitely preferable than causing pain to other people.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Look after each other.

Thanks for the support all.

Even reading the last few pages was pretty tough, as through my daughters life, I learnt about palliative care and what they do and it really breaks your heart. I know if I was listening to someone talking from that industry talk on stage, I'd be all attentive.

Also the others on here also going through tough times and have kids, definitely stay in their lives as much as you can. It's something I never got to go through with my little girl, so I hope those lucky enough to have a healthy child/ren, that you don't take it for granted.

Really sorry to hear your story. Good point about not taking it for granted. I'll be giving my boys an extra long hug when I get home.

Some people try but some don't give a shit. Sometimes I resort to keeping my hand up next to my eyes to make sure I don't get it poked out.

11:44 and I am cooked. Unsure as to how I will get to knock off without a nap. I took a sleeping tablet last night, and I woke up in bed fully clothed with no recollection of what the hell happened.
Still better than waking up naked with no recollection of what happened.
