    Don't stand on them. They don't like it. And you'll have fewer sheep if you start squashing them.

    They don't mind it when baby goats do it.

    How do you know that? Are you watching me? Can you see into my house?

    Fewer sheep.

    You can get it from the verb. There are fewer people, houses, sheep, grains of rice. There is less sugar, rice, bread.

    But never mind that. We have found a baby goat who can read, type and use a computer. Somebody call a tabloid newspaper - hurry!
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't after you....

    "I would of..." rather than I would have. Drives me nuts

    It could be someone. It might be me. Is it me? I'd like to know if it's me. Can you tell me if it's me :)

    If "less" was the most frustrating part about your posts, life for all would be a lot "less" frustrating for all. :)

    (but the chinese "2 rice" was very good)

    I do '......' all the time, it's part of me and usually conveys the way I would talk in real life, the little pauses we make as we say something, or of course, the trailing off that we do at the end of our sentence.

    I don't do it in my assignments though!
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    If I had a sheep and cut one of its legs off I would then have less sheep.

    One that's irritating more than anything else. The use of the word as when it should be since.

    As in, since I was passing by anyway, I dropped the letter through your letterbox instead of posting it.
    Mortgage free as of 10/02/2015. Every brick and blade of grass belongs to meeeee. :j
