My half siblings ¡.I could write a book ¡.. or a series¡..plenty of fodder ?:-)?
Jude
That is some story, Jude! She obviously did it all her way, at others¡¯ expense and how the heck did she get away with it? Those men must have loved her! Best Susan Initial shock one might say but she had had her health issues. Grossly obese at times and under top specialist at Royal Brisbane. But she led a merry life. Knew all the best places to eat around town. Well versed literature etc. Very intelligent. But at the time of her death she had a husband and a boyfriend. We took her husband along to the funeral service (I thought it would bring closure for her bad behaviour) and the boyfriend spouted up front. Boyfriend got her superannuation!! Husband who had looked after her always was almost in a position of having his house challenged but I said I would sign a stat dec as to my sister¡¯s statement about the house etc.?
If she got into health troubles she would desert the boyfriend and go home to husband who ran round her and prepared sustenance for her¡.she had Crohn¡¯s disease¡and then she would devil off again back to the boyfriend. I once said to her what on earth was she doing and how unfair it was to her husband. She said the other bloke was a ¡°handbag¡± ¡her words¡.he dressed up nice and was presentable at functions whereas her husband didn¡¯t want a bar of that side of her life.?
So no not entirely a shock ¡..she did it her way. I felt sad for the people at the office. She heaved a large sigh and sat down heavily in her office chair. Bloke heard it from down the room and vaulted two desks to do CPR but to no avail and ambulance got there in 5.
Boyfriend has the ashes. Refused to return to rest of family who had plans to bury her in the vicinity of mother and my stepfather.? I wrote a eulogy ¡¡.carefully. ?:-) ?:-)
Jude
Oh my, that must have been a nasty shock for you all, so sorry! Best Susan I¡¯m the eldest of 7 - youngest 21 years younger than me. One half sister died suddenly at work at 46 yo
Jude ?Harvey¡¯s sister is five years older but still has the ¡°little brother¡± attitude towards him! Best Susan My sister is far worse Jude. She was born 6 years earlier than me & used to call me junior. Now she says she's 49 when I'm 52 John
I love my iPad; I pre-booked one of the very first models out as soon as I heard about it, since it was, quite literally, just what I had been waiting for from Apple and even had cash put aside for it! Later on, I sold that model and bought an iPad Air and now have an iPad Air 2. Very happy with it and I keep it for Words With Friends or Wordfeud (I enjoy word games) and other games for iPads. ?Monument Valley is a beautiful game and there are some older ones that I play on an old Mini iPad of Harvey¡¯s. ?Doom runs on that old model and I still love that very old game! ?Quake runs, believe it or not, a special version for Mac! Sorry, I do love my games! ?:D Best Susan Anyone using Procreate? I have looked high and low for anyone doing lessons for young people as some village locals are interested for their teens -- but nothing. Even Apple shops not doing anything.
I sort of got interested myself -- but lack an iPad. I've always resisted iPads as being rather ?useless things that just run cut down software and not much use to anyone --- not in the things I get involved in anyway.
But looking into it I got myself curious. ?My husband asked what I wanted for my un-birthday..... he asks this every year then ducks and runs. ? I could get expensive.?

He was using it to make the anti-cancer drug Taxol. John
I looked into doing a PhD at Exeter but could not settle on a project. I did enjoy the estate, though, wandering around all those super trees, and found a book about them in a charity shop! Best Susan Yes, back at Exeter when we were doing our Ph'Ds we used to get a thing called the PFO letter. Well, the 1st letter stood for Please, the 3rd for off! I'll leave you to fill in the rest! Kind of when I worked at Boots' research lab. We called the head office the mushroom factory, "Because they kept you in the dark & shovelled...on you John
