    You seem to be doing just fine here. A "skin" has to do with the way the site looks and operates. If you go to your User Options, you should be able to change the skin that you're using. However, you really do seem to be doing just fine using whatever skin you're already using.

    I'm a little bit tired but can still go for awhile. Thanks for asking! :)

    In response to *10. I have known this man and his fam for over 5 yrs. This is the type of family so different from my upbringing. They communicate every day with each other. They are the first point of call with each other. They're bloody rock solid. I am blessed having real Mum (we work cleaning at a Motel together)

    Would you mind sharing what the ages are of you and your partner, please?

    I'm much older than when my father died. But, I can remember how it affected me when he was dying. Part of any negative ways it affected me was because of my age and lack of experience at the time.

    Thanks!

    Hey sleepyhead! Remember. A bird does not sing to make a sound. A bird sings because it can.

    Thank you for listening

    There's plenty of threads on where the SO (Significant Other) get's left out in this sort of situation. The best you can do, is tell him that you will be there for him when he needs you. Let him focus his energies on his father. Your being selfish if you don't. It may continue for a long time during the greiving phase too. Be prepared for that.

    I had an aunt who contacted MRSA and passed away quickly.

    Now, there seems to be a hint of abuse and police. Explain.
