I don't have a great relationship with my own parents, so they're the last thing on my mind right now. My dad has meth, so he'll be happy.Montegriffo wrote: ↑Tue Mar 17, 2020 5:02 pmTo be honest, the thing I'm most concerned about is that with Mum's slow decline into dementia the next time I am able to go and see her she may not know who I am. I guess it was going to happen eventually anyway but it is hard to come to terms with.Smitty-48 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 17, 2020 4:05 pm
I'm not expecting to need my firearms
I've reconfigured my kit for CBRN Reconnaissance, Clearance, Sensitive Sight Exploitation, Search & Rescue / Casualty Evacuation / Human Remains
Humanitarian Operations Other Than War.
My wife's closet is full of shoes, mine is full of all the kit I acquired over twenty years
To include in extremis full British Army IPE with S10 Respirator, canisters and decam mitts.
/Cold Warrior
Other than that I'm treating it as a damn good practice run for when the next really dangerous pandemic comes along. HM is safely locked away in Buck' house and it's not the Zombie apocalypse but the next one might be.
CO2 emissions are going to fall massively so every cloud has a silver lining.
Sorry to hear that you don't have a good relationship with your folks. Better to have loved and lost....etc.
TBH I won the lottery with my parents and had a great childhood and I'm very grateful for that.
Mum's ok, she doesn't really know there's anything wrong with her and her fella is devoted to her. It's harder for us than it is for her.
Best to smoke and drink, try not to live too long and die in massive debt I reckon, my pension won't be great anyway.
