With reference to the subject title... one of my friend's Dads has just had a stroke, basically. He's okay, he can talk and everything and appeared to just have a headache afterwards. At the moment I think he's stable but it's all a little unclear what's happening and what the prognosis is, which is a bit scary.
It makes me think about my own Dad and how I'm such an unreasonable bitch to him sometimes. I'm just not patient enough and I shout at him and yet he's so tolerant. I don't deserve him! It's things like this that make you think. Another friend here's Dad died over Christmas which blew me away because it was so sudden and he was only 48. Other friends' Dads have dodgy health too. My Dad is 'okay' but I can't say I'd be the first to know if something was wrong with him... he wouldn't want me to worry. :-/
Oh my god. I'm watching the news and the Iraqi man beating the poster of Saddam Hussein with his shoe. Not sure what to make of all this 'jubilation'/madness.
Erm, yeah.
