Damn marky, glad you came out on the other side of that episode and are able to recall it with some grace and humor.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Not wishing to miss the greater point of the story and being glad that Marky made it thru with health and humour improved, but … buying your second house at age 23? Are you a Nigerian prince?

Re: The Coronavirus Thread Of Good News
Ha! more like an English pauper. I bought my first house at 20, second at 23 and third at 24. I lived in the 3rd house for 30 years. Then the relationship failed this time my ex went off with a police sergeant. So estate agents and policemen are not my favourite people.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑12 Jul 2021, 5:55pmNot wishing to miss the greater point of the story and being glad that Marky made it thru with health and humour improved, but … buying your second house at age 23?

I then moved in with my mum and stepfather to help out with his bad health. He sadly passed away Christmas before last. So just my mum and I now. I'm semi retired and haven't worked for the last three years.
May look for some part time work but not much need to as pretty secure financially. Still not quite that Nigerian prince.

The idea of buying a home at 20 is wild. We didn't buy our first until we were, I think, 31.Marky Dread wrote: ↑12 Jul 2021, 6:59pmHa! more like an English pauper.

You're a damned good son for living with and caring for your mother. I'm not sure I could have done that.

I'm still renting at fucking 52. But I don't give a shit about money as long as I have enough to survive. My relationship of 9 years ended today but onwards and upwards.

Similar to what Doc has already said, being able to care for our parents is no small thing, I'm starting to see that more and more with mine in the past few years, so my hat is off to you Marky.Marky Dread wrote: ↑12 Jul 2021, 7:19pmShe's been through a hell of a lot and always been there for me.

Sorry to hear about your day, that really sucks, but I'm glad you can keep your head up high Heston.
