Its been a rough few years with the loss of loved ones, both my parents,

a couple of uncles my grandad at christmas and now today i learn of my 37 year old cousin,

What age is that,

She had two young children, its so sad,

They say the good always goes first, but that don't help us that's left behind.

yesterday i turned the big 40 and over the last week or so i was dreading it,

Now its happened i feel really scared that ive hit the big 40

I know they say life begins at 40 so why does it scare me so much,

It could just be that i know in 10 years time i will be 50 and that a lot of my family including my Mother died in their early 50's so im guessing may be that's what frightens me so much.

Be grateful of your views on this and anyone else who has had the same fear.

Thank you.

When we was kids we all said at some point in our lives i want to be, or i want to do.

But how many of us actually do??

the chat site?

and what did you think when it closed down?

How did you come across Yahoo Answers,??

and can anyone remember who the first user was??

The questions are staying the same and not changing,

The questions that are showing as been here for 8 hours,

so does this mean im the only one here??

If so BOOHOO its lonely lol

I think i must have,

every time lately i put up a question i get a violation saying its chatting.

EERRMM i dont think me asking, whats your most embarrassing moment? is chatting.

My added details was what my embarrasing moment was and thats all.

so who ever my troll is that keep getting my posts deleated get a life will you and stop being so blinking sad.

some people really need to get a life.

OOPPSSS another violation.

So whats the defination of a question Because it seems to be if it starts with what,who, why,where,when,do,ends with a question mark all seem to be chatting.

Whats up with you at Yahoo??

FOOT NOTE FOR YAHOO ANSWERS: Would it be unreasonable to check what your actually deleating as you seem to deleate questions even though it is a question, that does not contravine any rules..

Let me see how long it is before i get a violation for this one??

Yahoo answers seems to be taking forever,

But how strange we can ask a question but not able to do anything else??

why is spotted D!ck called this??

anyone know why?

first my eldesty son had it,

then i caught it,

Then last week my 8 month was really ill with it,

Now my eldest is unwell again,

its just a visious circle.

if you have not had it then i hope you dont, it knocks you about in a big way,

watching my 8 month old suffer like he did and not sleep or eat for a few days was torture to see,

he got so poorly last friday that dr thought about sending him to hospital, in the end he didnt but kept a close eye on him through the night by keeping in contact of his progress with me by phone,

thankfully after being pumped with antibiotics hes much more himself,

I dont know about you but im fed up of recieving these,

when i had my first born 16 years ago i gave my son fennel to drink,

i used to get it in a tin from the chemists, much better than the sugary juice yoiu get today.

Ive looked everywhere for this for now my 7 month old son, But i just can not find it anywhere,

Does anyone know where i can get this?

or does anyone know what other things i can give instead of just water or baby juices,

something that is kind to his teeth especially as he already has two.

Please help any sugestions be much apreciated..

Enjoy your thinking☺

Valentine's Day in Britain

St Valentine's Day is celebrated with gaiety, enthusiasm and charm in Britain. Just as in many other countries, people in Britain express love for their beloved on this day by presenting them flowers, cards, chocolates and other special gifts. Different regions of the country have their specific traditions to celebrate Valentine's Day but one uniform custom is the singing of special songs by children. These children are rewarded with gifts of candy, fruit or money. In some regions delectable Valentine buns are baked with caraway seeds, plums or raisins.

Penning of verses is another extremely popular tradition of Valentine's Day. Weeks before the festival tabloids and magazines publish sonnets and verses to commemorate St Valentine's Day. The custom owes its origin to the poets of Britain who have penned the majority of the best-loved romantic verses associated with Saint Valentine.

Valentine's Day in History

Customs associated with Valentine's Day had their origin in the popular belief held by people in Great Britain and France during 14th and 15th century that birds begin to mate on February 14, halfway through the month of February. Lovers, therefore found St Valentine's Day an appropriate time to send love letters and gifts to beloved. Romantic image of the festival was further established by English and French poets and litterateurs who drew parallel between mating of birds and St Valentine's Day. In the Paston Letters, Dame Elizabeth Brews writes thus about a match she hopes to make for her daughter (spelling modernize), addressing the favored suitor:

And, cousin mine, upon Monday is Saint Valentine's Day and every bird chooses himself a mate, and if it like you to come on Thursday night, and make provision that you may abide till then, I trust to God that ye shall speak to my husband and I shall pray that we may bring the matter to a conclusion.

Early Valentine's Day Tradition in Britain

Unmarried girls in Britain and Italy used to wake up before sunrise on Valentine's Day. They believed that the first man they see on Valentine's Day or someone who looks like him would marry them within a year. Girls, therefore, used to wake up early to stand by their window and wait for the man to pass. William Shakespeare, the famous English playwright, mentions this belief in Hamlet (1603). Ophelia, a woman in the play, sings:

Good morrow! 'Tis St. Valentine's Day

All in the morning betime,

And I a maid at your window,

To be your valentine!

Another popular belief held by people of Great Britain made women pin four bay leaves to the corners of their pillow and eat eggs with salt replacing the removed yokes on Valentine's Day eve. Unmarried girls to dream of their future husband followed the custom. Unmarried ladies also used to write their lover's names on paper and put them on clay balls that they would drop into the water. It was believed that whichever paper came up first, that man would be their future husband!
