  1. I've seen a couple of examples on TV today where the treatment this family want for their son has been suggested by a NHS consultant and the NHS has paid for the children concerned to go to Oklahoma to receive it....... It seems like the treatment is available on the NHS .....so the question remains why it was not offered or the family not supported if they wanted to fund it privately.....
  2. Lavender is a relatively short lived plant, but you do need to keep it trimmed after flowering to encourage fresh new growth... Good Luck  
  3. Apparently the family own property in Spain so it may be the other children are there......who knows ? What a mess !
  4. Are they actually zonal pelargoniums ?
  5. Haven't the parents left to try and get the drug Southampton have refused ? I have mixed feelings about this, a past poster here used to sing the praises of Southampton hospital esp regarding children. It may be that they genuinely feel the drug would just prolong the child's suffering and be to no avail - but as a parent I know that anyone would go to the ends of the earth if there was even the slimmest hope. Whatever, no good will come of separating the child from his parents in what may be his last days...very sad.      
  6. Cut up a cardboard box so you have pieces the same size as the tablet and wrap it well, did it come only in the box or other packaging?

    Vaseline

    Chiropodist recently told me that anything containing urea would do for feet....I'm currently using Boots own foot lotion, very nice and not as claggy as Vaseline .
  9. Gardian, Wasn't the person at Slough last week by any chance ?  My husband knew someone who committed suicide and it was pretty horrid for his family and staff....... Your son shouldn't guilty, no one could have known  
  10. These requests for password changes are addressed to you by your user name aren't they ?
  11. Where is the seller ? ( Roughly) Was a shipping cost mentioned (sorry I may have missed this)
  12. Ian posted a photo of Coops, taken a few weeks before her final illness, on FB. Next time he pops in perhaps we can get him to post it here......it was the music festival she liked to go to just a couple of weeks back. Can you contact the seller - ? If not go to eBay......  
  13.  So far, so good, but I take nothing for granted. Just keep crossing my fingers  and hoping for the best [:)] How's everything with you ?  I look in, but don't comment so often. I still miss Coops but happy to see Ian on FB.
  14.  Give it 3/5 days, if you don't hear, contact EBay (There's a facility for this )  I'm fine, not enough hours in the day ( I thought there might be as I got older, wrong again [8-)] ) Mother still around, aged 94, 82 years as a smoker...[blink] Some days she can't tell the difference between me and my sister which is sad and sometimes upsetting, but one foot in front of the other...it could be so much worse. Children now in their thirties, both in decent jobs, but no serious relationships, leave alone grand children.....  OH retires next year, we're thinking of buying a caravan..... Current 'obsession' is Sonus and Spotify.....typically we play classical music in the day ( Bruch's Violin Concerto, Mendelsohn Violin Concerto, Lakme etc),  and schmaltz ( Johnny Mathis, Matt Monroe, Nat King Cole, Andy Williams, Perry Como, Frank Sinatra etc) in the early evening..... quite relaxing... I'm of to Nice next Month and then a weekend at L'Enclume in the Lake District in November[:D] never a dull moment [:)]
  15.  I have a friend who sells extensively through eBay and her constant grip is that eBay ALWAYS come down on the side of the buyer, so try not to worry!  
  16. Moi? I have just seen a US senator say 'it unacceptable' on the BBC news.......and he was talking about Israeli action....
  17. Increasingly I think that the answer to this is in the USA, stop arming the Israelies and stop money being transferred there from the US......saying its unacceptable isn't enough....
  18. There are extremists on both sides....I do not condone for one moment what Israel are doing, in fact I disagree profoundly,  but Hamas was democratically elected and my understanding is that peace with Israel was never on their agenda. 
  19. [quote user="richard51"]Quillan - 3 - that's THREE Israeli civilians killed - one of which was a Bedouin that Israel refused to provide shelters.  Along with 40 some soldiers.  This compares with 1,361 Palestinians of which 315 are kids, 166 are women, 58 elderly men, 15 medical staff and 6,780 injured including 2,307 kids.  More UN workers have died than Israelis. More internationals have died than Israelis. No offence Quillan but you are taking the proverbial. This is genocide - and you sit there and pontificate. Let's imagine for one minute that the situation was reversed - there would be hell up.  But of course we are comparing the 'chosen' and their blood is more valuable, their lives more precious. Mrs 51 [/quote] Your last comments are perilously close to breaking the forums code of conduct, please be careful...I know you hold strong views and I don't want to have to lock the thread.....just choose your words carefully please
  20. That's ridiculous - the article states quite clearly the company was started by a Palestinian...... Frankly I am not particularly interested in the rights and wrongs of either side, what I detest is the killing of children who have no choice .
  21. Look up National beverage Company...started by Palestinians and employing Palestinians......in partnership with CocaCola. Things are rarely clear cut......or totally one sided. http://english.pnn.ps/index.php/national/2985-the-national-beverage-company-coca--colacappy-palestine If Palestinians can accept that Coca cola is an international company and are happy to work them even so, why should I boycott them? Frankly I doubt very much if boycotting any of the listed companies or writing to my MP would do any good... Of course, it's Obama's last term, he has little to lose...he could be firmer with Israel, the Jewish American vote won't be of concern to him...and in any case many of them are not supportive of the current action.
  22. Mr Russethouse and I are on different sides of the fence in this.....I'm pretty sure he would say that if you don't want your home/ hospital/ school bombed then don't let Hammas launch rockets from them.
  23. [quote user="richard51"]Two simple things you can do: First: boycott. This site has a list of all those companies that support the occupation: http://www.bdsmovement.net/ This visual shows brands that support the occupation and land theft: [img]http://astiak.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/t3-boycott_israel_ii.jpg[/img] Secondly - write to your representatives in the UK or France. To find your MP: http://findyourmp.parliament.uk/ To find you MEP: http://www.europarl.org.uk/en/your_meps.html Mrs 51 [/quote] I'd be interested to know why you think Coca Cola supports the occupation ?
  24. And what are you doing now Mrs 51 ? And just what do you expect people to actually do ? My feeling is that you are in danger of assuming something about another forum member and we all know that assumption is the mother of all mess ups. For all you know other forum members may be passionate about other causes, just as important to them as this is to you. I have a lot of sympathy for the Palestinians, but I don't have any illusion that they are completely innocent victims as a nation......Hamas should take some responsibility too.....
  25. I have watched John Snow on his return from Gazza, very moving: http://uk.yhs4.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=A7x9UnkENdZTKXsA6ul3Bwx.;_ylc=X1MDMjExNDcxNzU1OQRfcgMyBGJjawMzb3U1bTdoOXNpc3NkJTI2YiUzRDMlMjZzJTNEdHUEZnIDeWhzLWlyb25zb3VyY2UtZnVsbHlob3N0ZWRfMDAzBGdwcmlkA1VvN0hGVldXUURLYnZBTVRRaGtuV0EEbXRlc3RpZANudWxsBG5fcnNsdAMxMARuX3N1Z2cDMARvcmlnaW4DdWsueWhzNC5zZWFyY2gueWFob28uY29tBHBvcwMwBHBxc3RyAwRwcXN0cmwDBHFzdHJsAzM2BHF1ZXJ5A0pvbiBTbm93LCBJc3JhZWwgUGFsZW5zdGluZSBZb3UgVHViZQR0X3N0bXADMTQwNjU0NzIzMzQ2MwR2dGVzdGlkA251bGw-?gprid=Uo7HFVWWQDKbvAMTQhknWA&pvid=enMLAzE4OC48eLY8U8lzjQnFODYuMVPWNQT_5MZo&p=Jon+Snow%2C+Israel+Palenstine+You+Tube&fr2=sb-top&hspart=ironsource&hsimp=yhs-fullyhosted_003¶m1=1¶m2=sid%3D2563da4c8d0ecbda47314da40b0bcb2d%26b%3DIE%26ip%3D86.136.242.186%26p%3Drocket%26x%3D28E3476F7F72120A%26dt%3DS934%26f%3D4%26a%3Drckt_app_14_30_ie&type=rckt_app_14_30_ie Sorry about the link ....
