Following discovery that my younger daughter is actually still married to the husband she was divorcing some years ago - I am faced with a quandary. (See earlier post.) My opinion of him is...
14A.... Stupid for the most part, that's 12! 4 letters: S - L - Could be Sill (short for silly) or Sold (12 A is Left on the shelf) or Self (elf sounds like a bit of twelve?). Can't parse and it's the...
I just don't know all the details, but anyone's educated guess would help. 2018 (Summer) my younger daughter's marriage broke up due husband's serial infidelity. He refused to leave the house & took...
My daughter & family (no small children) took over an 8 yr. old female rescue greyhound about 4 years ago. 'Cookie' had the misfortune to win several races when young and so was used mercilessly to...
Quite some time ago you picked-up on a passing comment by me about Mr J2s snoring and gaps in breathing and you confirmed my feeling that he had Sleep Apnoiea and how dangerous it coud be - especially...

Yet another friend is having problems with this. He and his partner of 15 years have decided that they wish to wed. We are to be witnesses at a very private wedding because his family do not approve...

This really is for a friend of mine. She was badly done-to by a firm of solicitors she employed to fight a case brought against her by a chap who claimed half her house as squatters' rights. To cut a...
OK, tonight I made kedgeree. Same recipe as forever (and he said it was good) but as we have become older we eat less, so instead of 2 hard-boiled eggs cut into halves, I boiled one tonight and cut it...
I don't know how it has happened, but I've lost the page I cut out of the paper! I've now reached the 'put aside and leave for a day' stage with my proposed entry and was looking for the address and...
I realise that this is a very long shot and it's a long story and I was not the guilty party! If someone has used a white undercoat to cover an oil painting and then painted a scene in acrylics over...
Sunday brain-freeze again. Stuck as to how to parse 25 D.
Chump scheduled to seize power. 4 letters.
