Sometimes, I think the hardest part of changing one s life is making the decision to. How wonderful to spend time with and be there for your parents. Life is an ever changing ever evolving journey and it moves at a fast pace. Wishing you all the luck in the world @blue-orchid. Sending lots of love your way. XI question if that's her signing.....

So off topic real quick....
I've told my parents and two friends but not others. It's going to be a rough Oct and Nov....
Long story short...my 82 year old mom had a stroke last year, my dad who's 80 cares for her himself. She was in hospital end of June with pneumonia and Covid. I flew home spending the last 3 months there.
I am back in the US but have decided my 32 years here in the US are done.
We have no family in Singapore and so am selling the house, car and retiring at 49 from my job of 17 years.
My older sister is a narcissist so no help from her.
Yes, I will be moving from a lovely large home to the bedroom where my baby cot was.
Fun!
My time in the US is over.
I'm fortunate to still have my parents and being single and childless grants me the opportunity to go care for them.
They gave up so much for me and now I happily give this all up for them. I also plan to travel like a nutter.
My 2nd trip after my 50th in April will be the UK and France.
My 1st will be Melbourne and Sydney.
Perhaps one day we will all meet.
It's the one thing I am grateful to this muppet for.
She brought so many of us like minded women together.
Love to you all and for keeping me laughing despite the many days and nights I had tears streaming down my face.

I am fortunate they have a live in housekeeper ( very common in Asia and the Middle East) and my dad is able bodied albeit slow, but it's not me there for them.
I have spent more than 3 decades in North America but it is time to go.
The decision to go be with them even though they do not feel they "need" me right now, is easy.
Moving back to a different culture, a place I left a week after I turned 17 is going to be really interesting.
I also wonder how life will be when both parents are gone. We are not close to any family as my parents were both set to be in arranged marriages to others.
Instead they told their parents and families to fuck right off, by running away together at age 17 and 18 in the middle of the night.
I admire them.
This is not a new chapter, but a new book in my life.
I just want to say thanks to all you lovely fellow Tattlers for always being so sweet, kind and unbelievably hilarious especially during my many sleepless nights.
Thank you. Love to you all
Well, your plan sounds great ! If you can spend this time with your parents while exploring new places go for it ! You must make the most out of this new life ! Good luck and keep us updated.I question if that's her signing.....

Exactly why I'm so annoyed; your version is just more eloquent than mineHorrifying. Poor book shop staff having to attend to this muppet.
I just cannot stand Lydia’s latest incarnation as an author. I’ve been able to laugh at pretty much every one of her incarnations up ‘till now, but as a life long lover of English Literature, and as someone who studied English at uni and loves to write short stories, I am just so pissed that she has a published book when she does not understand words, language or punctuation and is apparently proud of the fact! She has never made any attempt to improve her language skills throughout her career online - she can’t even be bothered to use autocorrect or to Google something when she doesn’t know how to spell it. It makes me think I should just set fire to my degree!! Why did I bother?
She was on a power trip because of the book signing. If I was Cawwie, in future, I wouldn't be worried about Elsie being late, just let her mess things up on her own and see what happens.Halfway into the new flog. Carrie is such a doormat. Her title should officially change to “Servant & Yes Slave to Madaaam Lyda”. Her majesty is too important to go get coffee at Starbucks, put fuel in her own damn car, or try showing up on time to her own book signing.
She swears at/with Carrie in the car and Servant Carrie bleeps it out. What are the guesses it’s another derogatory slur?
The uncouth witch always says she will link things/people in her description but never does. Ungrateful to the core.
I say just sign Lidl, much easier and you will have your 4 letters. I would say you write like a 4 year old!View attachment 2495567
Voila! The screen grabbed bit about her signature. Sure am glad she brought crème and a splint.
To save myself time just imagine there was about 30 minutes more of drama about not being able to sign her name peppered throughout the rest of the footage. It was a LOT

What an idiot, why does she has to pre explain everything. No-one would have batted an eyelid if she would just shut up as we'd be non the wiser. Her signature is hers alone, mine doesn't look like my name either but I don't explain to the bank or whoever. She complains so bloody much about the most mundane things. It's just ludicrous.View attachment 2495567

Utterly confused - I don't understand! Why on earth would an author who has put their heart and soul into written and publishing 'thier baby' ever think to let someone else sign it for them, and take that hard work away from them...
Oh yeah, she didn't, the knob!!!

And these jean outfits, trying to dress the same vein as Kate Mids. She looked better in the dresses, she looks shite! Waiting for her in Superga next
Exactly what i was thinking! They knew what she said!Give me a break! They sent this card (and flowers) knowing about the slur and how hideous the outfits were… terrible ad for the company. Never gonna shop there!

Can someone repost their reply when they were informed of the slur so it’s living with this post?Exactly what i was thinking! They knew what she said!
Shitting hell!!!!Mrs. Gordon, “author,” questions the correct spelling of daughters. A complete embarrassment per usual in front of the bookstore staff while surrounded by all those books. See clip.

DORTER!I wonder how she thought daughters was spelled…
dotters
Doters
Doughters
Dothers
Dathers
Datters
tatters
Tattlers
That word must be hard since she is an evermean unkind dotter (daughter) to her mom.
