Hello

I’m April. I’m a mom of 3 year old boy/girl twins! My amazing superpower is to multitask. I love my family. I’m a young adult carer at twenty three. I turned 23 four weeks ago in early November. Love this thread.

Hi guys , I,m Gerry ....I love my Samsung tablet which I use every day if possible. Father of three lovely children ( grown up now ) I have four grandchildren , one of my grandchildren is severly autistic and cannot talk , nor write ,nor do maths ...but he knows everybody by their birthday and year of birth , when anyone mentions someone else , he can tell their birthday and year of birth . Whether it is the Asda,Iceland delivery drivers, teachers or any of his or our neighbours . The first thing he does when he meets someone is ask them their birthdate...including year....which can be rather embarrassing . Of course he asks their birthdate by signing and his mum or us have the akward question of asking their date of birth . 
We love al, our four grandchildren equally . 
I have been married to my childhood sweetheart,  we met first when we were twelve years old , three years later our eyes met across a street , we started going steady at fifteen and engaged at seventeen and married at eighteen , the first of our three children came along when we were twenty ...we have been married now for over 46 years . We live in the same small village I was born and brought up in .I was an engineer until Mrs Thatcher closed all the factories and foundries and brickworks down . I then trained as a driving instructor and planned to but a small villa in a warm country ( we live in the hills of Scotland) which does not help my health problems ...ah, "the best laid plans of mice and men " ...alas our long term plans can be ruined by my health problems ....I have breathing problems and my work  life in brickworks did not help , My hearing was also badly affected by heavy presses ( 630 tons) hammering away all day long, I have tinnitus 24/7 in my right ear , from the second I awake until I take my night medication which knocks me out for a few hours each night . I also have Menieres which affects my hearing as well I  my left ear ...I can hear nothing at all in my right ear bar a jet engine 24/7 . I have hearing aids in both ears ( bluetooth hearing aids ) I can only hear in my left ear .?
....but still I think I'm a lucky guy. I had to give up driving due to menieres disease , two years ago . 
I like watching TV documentaries(with the help of subtitles ) ...I used to play a few different musical instruments and played in a band for twenty years ....alas...I have very little hearing ( even with the help of my hearing aids ) I still have the same acoustic guitar I got at 15 years old. I played in pubs and clubs for a ling time but I cannot hear it and nowadays could hardly hold a tune .My guitar and bodhran and flute ect lie in the corner of a room in the west wing ? That's my life in a nutshell ?...apart from the fact I love Scope , although I hardly post . ?

....oops.....one of my main " faults "  is ....once I start talking I cannot stop ...my daughter often tells me that when I post on Facebook. .on and on and on ....??

Hi I'm jane 52 years old been separated for 3 years and disabled for 2 years. I have 13 year old son who is my rock and without him I would be lost. His life changed as well with my disability and that has been the hardest for me to come to terms with. I have done my best to ensure he still has his childhood and enjoys same things as other teens. I'm an amputee in a wheelchair. It's been hard few years but we have got through it and now have adapted and make the most of life.
