I would think a PC nerd would be someone who is quite adept at the computer (e.g. me ) anyway here’s how you can save the thread:
• Scroll down to the bottom where it says “Show Printable Version”
• Click on it
• At the top of the page it’ll say “show all x number of posts on one page”
• Right-click that, go to Save Target As… and save the HTML file someplace on your HD. Or, to print the page, instead of Save Target just left-click the “show all x number of posts” link and when the page finishes loading click File->Print.
In fact just to be a total showoff I’ll post a link that will take you directly to the full printable page.
Today January 4th 2004 is the anniversary of Joans death in 1995.
Last night I got drunk and dug out the photos that I had not destroyed and had a good cry, I’ll probably have another weepie session today.
Allow me to tell you just a little about Joan.
She had dark hair and the most beautiful brown eyes you ever saw, dark brown.
Many is the time I wished I could crawl into those eyes and close the lids behind me and die a happy man.
She stood about 5’6" tall and was a little on the plump side and got a little plumper as the years rolled by but I loved every ounce of her.
Her smile!! aahh! the stuff that dreams are made of,the sort of smile that made life worth while and everything else paled into insignificance when she laughed.
She laughed a lot,she was content you see, there was nothing and nobody that could take that feeling from her and she had me who loved her with a love that knew no limits.
She had a son who was a smart little rascal and as honest as the day is long.
Joan had very many friends, in fact I doubt if she had a single enemy in the world, that was the sort of woman she was,friendly.
She took advantage of me, I know that.
She knew that I loved her so much she could twist me around her little finger and to be quite honest I knew that she knew and I didn’t care one bit.
Emoticons and bracket-hugs on this emotionless medium can’t convey fully how I wish you all the best, mate. Take care. Your Joan sounded like an absolute treasure. Same name as my late mum. Marvellous ladies, the Joans in this world.
May your chapters go on and on, filled with all the happiness life can bring you. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. How brave you are, I don’t know if I could do the same.
Thanks for your wishes. I’m no braver than any other person who has lost someone they cared for so much, you just have to learn to live with it.
It’s nice that I can share my thoughts on this board with such a whole lot of nice people.
I didn’t have an attack of the weepies today and I haven’t even had a drink…now that’s brave!!
