    Re: Dispensing with the "MORALITY" issue

    Well!
    Just trying to keep up with this thread (my OH is on hols from work so we're tripping about in between catching up with garden jobs etc so I haven't had much time this week)
    Having suffered the troll's stalking and abuse on cag, (from where he is now also banned, if his own post on LB is to be believed) all I can add to this discussion is:

    Bloody brilliant! Finally a site with the insight to see the troll for what he really is, and the cajones to do something about it.

    Thankyou Niddy, and all, for restoring my faith.

    Shepherdess xx

    You know you have your own photo album space on the forum that you can open to all or restrict to friends etc...?

    See here: ---> allaboutFORUMS

    That link only takes you to your folders pompey! to access it, simply click User CP from the top left and then look down the left pane and in the 2nd box down "Networking" - you click "Pictures & Albums"

The thing about debt is it always seems to come at the wrong moment. You can't tell your kids to wait to be educated, have a birthday treat or need long trousers for a couple of years while I sort out the finances. There is no pause button on growing up. Anyway I've found this website community a better boost than any therapy on offer (belive me I've tried) and The Priory better watch its back! In the sprtit of the thread topic I would say I've not read a single diary on this website that suggests anything but an utter detemination by us "debtors" to be anything but moral - but we're just not being heard by the creditors. Amen
    well said man. says it all for me as well.

    PlanB, Casper,

    Sorry to hear about your dogs passing however at least they left you with fond memories.

    Dogs are very important creatures in my household and in more ways than one.

    When I was claiming DLA because of the stroke I had, I had a home visit medical and one of the first questions I was asked by the HCP was who exercises that dog as if to try and catch me out.

    My answer was that it was more of the case that she exercises me and keeps me as mobile as possible lol

    You see after an incident like a stroke you just are not motivated to get up and are quiet happy to just sit in the chair and read the paper or watch tv.

    My dog made it her business to ask to go out and we literally hit two birds with one stone she got her exercise and so did I.

    Right back on track we go

    Aww. I can't reveal my login stuff. But if I said "101" was part of it you'd know how I feel about my Dally. And further more he and I often discussed 'our' financial problems and he didn't seem too fazed about our future. A walk on Hampstead Heath followed by a bone wasn't going to stop just because the DCAs were going to do nasty things. He had a point. Isn't that what Niddy is trying to teach us?

There is still a broken section in the harbour and if you look closely at the Hayling shore into The Run you can still find where they slid the sections in.

    Better get this thread back on track otherwise Niddy will be into us.

    I view these last few delightful posts as (a) a way of putting life-after-debt in perspective, (b) a good way to convalesce from harsh judgement calls by a certain poster, and (c) a reminder of how much I miss my loyal dalmation who went to doggy heaven in the midst of my turmoil (where's a spotty dog when you need one eh?)

    I think it's good for morale (root = moral as in morality lol) to be nostalgic about happy things. Sets us up for battle with those who has less morals. How's that for a neat link back to topic - see Niddy, we never really left the issue!

    Nostalgia - isn't it funny how a thread like this makes you remember the GOOD times when all too often nowadays all we remember are the bad things.

    Did you know Neville Shute, the author, used to live in that fantastic mill house on the seafront there?
    Have spent many a happy time at the back of that house feeding the ducks and swans and there young.

    Indeed that area is magical to me.
