    They're going to do a lumbar puncture, but I've had two CT scans and a hospital admission so he seemed pretty sure that's what it is. Looks like the penalty points won't matter now, since I won't have a license anyway.

    Once you've been seizure free for a few years you'll be able to drive again. Epilepsy is very manageable these days. I haven't had a full seizure for years, and it mostly isn't an issue. :)

    I think my husband is relieved that I hit menopause at 41, he was due to have a vasectomy this year. :D

    I know that relief! We had agreed after the second was conceived that I'd be going for the snip. As the pregnancy progressed I began to dread the thought of it (irrational as it was - I don't want anymore kids). When the doc suggested that my wife shouldn't get pregnant again (2 complicated, difficult pregnancies) and he could do a tubal ligation while in there for the ceasarian - I nearly jumped out of my seat with relief. :o

    Ah now ONW, you do realise that FAMILIES also own pets and unless pets have developed ways of paying for their own supplies, then naturally it will be aimed at the people who actually pay for the products to attract them and keep them as customers.

    I'm sure their may be pet treats etc on the day but I can't understand your ire at the entire family(including as you say the "brats" which is incredibly sweeping)along with their pets enjoying a day out.

    Also, your dog peeing twice in the store?
    I guess its not only "brats" who behave badly when in shops.

    People without children are "families" too you know.... So what exactly is your point?? That people without kids are not familes? Dont have pets? Dont pay for their pet products?

    Dogs pee when they get scents of other dogs and want to leave their mark. Get over it and stop being so precious. It's not like she peed in fúcking mothercare.

    I used to work in a toy shop in England. Downstairs was windowless and one day I caught a couple trying to have sex in a corner. They were oblivious to the security mirror beside them. I tried discrete coughing to let them know that I could see them, but that didn't work, so I had to shout over to them that it was a toy shop not a knocking shop. Some people have no shame.

    People who profess unconditional love for animals tempered with unconditional hate for all children.

    I think you are getting a wee bit over excited there. Your anger was directed at the KIDS/BRATS in your post and that the attention was on them ie face painting/bouncy castles etc. People without kids who have pets and are paying for the products are more than welcome to take part in the celebration at the shop as they are paying for the products. The pets are not paying for the products. So knock yourself out getting knackered on the bouncy with a spiderman face paint :p

    In fairness if a petshop really didn't mention anything pet related for a petshop event I'd be a bit bemused as well

    Little dogshow with ribbons or something

    I think most people with a healthy sense of confidence would just see it as someone trying to make themselves feel better without actually having the courage to confront the person who has irked/wronged them.

    The fact that Flickr and YouTube are the best in class, but are run by competitors, Flickr would prefer if you use vimeo - eh no thanks and Google encourages you to use g+ / picasa to host your photos - I'd rather store my photos in a bin thankyou.

    Touche.

    Although what can you call it when someone is reduced to ranting with vitriolic hostility about kids? It's somewhat entitled to withdraw one's business from a company because they have the audacity to cater to children at a store event. And to refer to kids as brats without knowing any of them?
    ffs does everything have to be about kids these days? Even the fúcking petshop cant be about pets, it has to be about kids. The one place you think you could take your dog to for an open day/birthday bash/thanks to our customers kinda get together is a petshop but no. Fúcking face painting and sweets for the brats. I think I'll just take my dog to the forest so...and buy her food online.

    Your dog isn't the customer btw, you are.

    I downloaded Picasa i think. It went nuts trying to rummage through all my photos on my hdd and wanting to upload them to g+. I could stop the upload bit but not the "going through all your photos and do you want to tag everyone" nonsense. Awful stuff, uninstalled it pronto

    Well, with the swearing and the name calling in your post it did come across that way. Also, no idea what you mean by the part in bold.

    When people leave the office in dregs on a Friday evening between 4 and 6 so there's two hours of "byeeeee...see ya...have a good weekeeeeeend....byeeeee" every two minutes. Can we not just organise a mass exodus please??:P

    I've actually never seen a dog lick its own arse. It's usually their penis. Maybe you should worm your dogs?

    My dog is well looked after and is part of the family(the same as the cat).
    Its a bitch so it wouldnt have a penis to lick, but that makes it much better that an animal is licking their penis and then your face I guess.
    Also, if you never saw a dog licking its backside, you mustn't have been around many dogs.

    Why are so many posters taking offence at Oldnotwise's post.:confused: He/she is understandably annoyed that a pet shop is centering it's birthday celebrations around children and not pets. Parents wouldn't be too thrilled to see an event that they would view as something that should be child focused, turned into a pet event.

    Anyone with pets would expect a pet shop event to be focused on pets, not kids. We have cats and no kids, wouldn't change that for the world, and I see our cats as being far more important than anyone's kids. :D

    I don't know most people i'm guessing neither do you.

    After many years as a bouncer I think I've confronted enough people not to be overwhelmed by the whole thing.
    I'll do the drama when I see fit, for everything else there is annoyance and a sly dig.

    I genuinely think your reading of the situation is very general and wrong.
    to be passive aggressive is just another form of confrontation. The lack of confidence person who do nothing and hope it gets better.

    The heel of a loaf of bread.

    Because it reminds me of the girl the OH was tipping when we broke up. Everyone touches it, but nobody wants it. Just like her. Every single time I see it I think of her

    There are always events being held that are not children focused.
    My issue was the tone and language in ONW post and the vitriol poured on children by her.
