So, hi there. I'm new to this.
Where do I start? Bring you up to date? Dad had a huge belly. He was a good eater, so we thought it was too much rich food and Guiness. He had trouble peeing, but thought nothing of it. A proud man usually doesn't. Anyway, turns out he had been retaining urine for a long time. Eventually, they had a look and found 6 litres of urine in his bladder. They drained it. His bladder had been streatched to wafer thin. It was gubbed. They also spotted a spot on his bladder...

Hi ive been ask to start a blog
There has been talk of a meeting of all the mac site people that go into the chat room. A central location for instance some where like Birmingham. A chance to put faces to names, to let them see just how good looking we really are or maybe not. No longer would they be just a voice in the dark and a great opportunity for those who love to meet up and make new freinds.
Also a chance to share our stories and experiences of why we came to the site in the first place.
