Did I ever mention that Pete's grandparents are The Birds?

No, but now I understand why you kept saying everything you took,
including the cutlery, was "for the Birds."

Turns out that was a lot more trouble than I'd bargained for. Some

Customs
folks can be just *so* ****y sometimes. Honestly.

You shoulda put the knives in the checked baggage. Especially that set
of steak knives...


Didn't have enough room but I don't like those silly plastic things they
give you on the plane anyway. Me, I like a *real* knife.


The plastic ones are, however, so much easier to use on the
plane.....travelling as you do, without handcuffs....

LOL Then again I could twist your reference and wonder if he's a bit kinky.

Are you suggesting that I should bring handcuffs with me next time?

Hi
I just joined the group and wondered are there any singles from Australia?
I live in NSW Australia with teenage kids.
Like to learn more about life for singles in other countries as well.

Hi, i just found this group as well. I have recently become a single parent,
my wife passed away 6 weeks ago from cancer barstard of a disease. We
have been offered help by councellors from the kids high school but so far i
don't think we have needed it. The kids, 2 girls and a boy, 13, 12 and 10
are doing really well, better than me i think. I draw most of my strength
from them.
It's going to be very different bringing up teenage kids as a single parent
i'd imagine but it seems looking around this group that plenty of people do
it.
Sid.

Hello sid and welcome. I'm very sorry for your family's loss. Your
kids may benefit from the counseling even if they don't think they
will. It's just another avenue for them. Are there any groups of
bereaved students? I know at my children's school they have a group of
children of divorce who meet every fortnight or so. Maybe they do for
children who lose a parent as well.

I hope that you, too, find support in your community.

Peace.

Some people think counseling cures all. It cures nothing but can help. In any
case 6 weeks is WAY too soon for you to assume anyone is doing well. I know
this from experience. It gets worse before it gets better. Sorry to bear the
bad news, just don't want you to think something is wrong when it really starts
to hurt. Six weeks the numbness has barely worn off.

Welcome Sid.

When I became a singleparent this was the only place I found that I could
swap notes with other single fathers. Sometimes it helped just to know they
were out there.

Greetings from Ireland,
Dennis, three boys
