I haven't looked at back pages Frank .It is all a bit weird at the moment.I don't like not being able to see the last postings as I do this,so I can see what has just been said.5 think there are a lot of frustrated people on GR at the moment lol.

	Frank been having the same problem as you when I try to get on recent pages it just keeps going back to 1-10 . hope it will soon be sorted out. Well it looks like I may not be taking Sofia to see my dad anymore , seems he is ok in the mornings and after 12.00 noon he goes from calm to panic and start pacing back and forwards and shouting he wants out. that upsets Sofia and it can up set me too, so will wait till the wekends and OH and I will go and take him a run in the car, I can't manage to take him out on my own incase he won't come back with me. Daughter no 1 can't visit her grandad in the mornings only afternoons, 4.34pm

Member Since: May 2007 Posts: 25,620 Send Message	Fiona, what a shame Sofia gets upset.Like you say it is maybe best she doesn't visit your Dad .Maybe if he calms down you can take her again. I remember with my Mum ,there were many times she absolutely refused to get out of the car when she realised I had pulled up outside the Home!!.It took all sorts of persuading.She would say "I am not going in that place.....take me home".It was heart breaking,and I don't know how many buckets of tears I cried after we had got her in and I was back in the car after being called some terrible things by Mum.That didn't bother me ,it was just seeing her so angry and confused as she couldn't understand why she was there and I was making her stay!!!! Gulps!!

Member Since: March 2010 Posts: 1,101 Send Message	I'm having the same trouble Frank, and I've found that if you scroll down to a page or two before the one you want, it seems to go there ok, and then you can log onto the one you really want!!!! otherwise, if you try to go straight to the page you want you just go back to page 1 - 10 all the time!!!! bit complicated for an old timer like me, but it seems to work, till it gets altered again. Why alter it in the first place? whatever for?!!! Fiona, I'm really sorry to hear about your Dad; it's just awful when people begin to disintergrate, particularly your own parents, and, of course, so upsetting, particularly for a child. I do sympathise. Made some money today!! makes a change! OH sold a piece of machinery on E-Bay, it's OK, money's in the bank, hooray!!!!

	Yes Jane they usually have some thing going on outside the Forum in Norwich . Wouldn't want to sitting in a bath of cold beans on a day like this !!!! I might see some of it on television ,but i like the jungle and i like Jenny ,who has just arrived i think she may stir things up a bit ,and Alison Hammond is supposed to coming in tonight too, she was on Big Brother and the This Morning programme. Fiona, it must be very hard for you to see your dad like this ,but it no good going if it upsets everyone ,and you have to think of Sofia ,hard for littleones to understand whats going on ,have they changed his medication ?

	17.00pm Been shopping and got back before dark. Have corned the chickens but still have the big ones to shut in. Frank that thingy with the pages happened to me yesterday but today it is alright. Liz I feel it is too far to fall now too. More causious now I am older and already have had back trouble. I did go with a friend soem years ago and the friend has MS. She chickened out after about 200 yards as her horse shied at a gate onto the moor. We went off instead and had a nice cream tea at Dartmeet then came home. Hi Sheila!! Jane I hope your friends don't find it to cold after Dubi.

	17.06 Fiona sorry to hear your dad is playing up. As Mandy says it is no good upsetting Sophia or anyone else for that matter.

	17.11 pm Just posted and lost the lot. Fiona, sorry to hear about Dad. When my Sister rang the other night at mid-night. She told me I've had two strokes. I said when was this then, she went on to say they were years ago. I thought she meant recently. She is as deaf as a post, and didn't have her aid in. I spoke to her daughter about her. She said she's lost all track of time, and has bought her a very large clock and marked it when she is allowed to make phone calls. It appears when she's been to sleep a while, she thinks it's time that she can call people. Had a poster advert from the local theatre. who is doing Jack in the Beanstalk this year. In the envelope were three runner bean seeds. What a way to advertise it. !!! Have only been on a Horse once in my life. As I got settled some silly ar#e smacked the houre, and it bolted, with me hanging on for good life. Then it threw me, right onto some tree stumps. never again, but I do love them. NO FOG here Jane, might get it later. Not going out anyway.
