Nice people thread part 8 - worth the wait

Sorry, I mean the same - if I think the options aren't appropriate, I won't describe.

This talk about the quiz (my result's boring btw) reminded me of a TV show I saw in the US back in the 80s about a fascinating person born neuter.

Couldn't find it on google for years but here it is. By "it" I mean the show, not the individual. Well obviously the individual's here.

The person's called Toby and goodness knows what box they tick on forms. It shows how gendered our language is that we'd struggle to find pronouns for people like him/her.

I'm not sure I understand, I 'm lost. Probably tired!

I suppose it was when you said you'd not always identified as hetrosexual - I think I'm saying I've never really idenitifed with anything in terms of sexuality. Does that make sense?

. There are times when it is useful to have thought about it and be able to articulate it.

Anyway, as often strangely happens here, the topic arose at a poignant time for me, so I'm perhaps being a little dogmatic.


Edit, and yes, it makes perfect sense to not 'identify' as anything. Certainly I have felt that I fell in love with who I fell in love with at times. However, I do not feel that now. I do not know if how I feel now is stuck for life, or if it will change again. I don't think it really matters that much in who I am now either tbh. But it might have if I were not in this life and this relationship.

I think, like sexuality, it might be one of those things that varies. It's never mattered to me. I can understand why it does to others, though.

Ok - room is ready ish for student but now I need to fill in mortgage application. there is a new update for my phone (to Jelly Bean don't cha know) but it is telling me that because I unlocked the bootloader I can't use the official software. I only unlocked the bootloader as that was the easiest way to back up everything on my old phone and restore it on to the new one.

It doesn't look to hard to either relock the boot loader or use a 'flash tool' to do the upgrade btu not top hard always means at least 2 or 3 hours of farting about and I just don't seem to have 2 or 3 hours spare ever

Space in mail box, get in quick before PN!

Berlusconi does amaze me every time he opens his mouth. How he has any credibility whatsoever is beyond me.

I'm probably going to get shot down for saying this; I think this is politically based. It's a little like Tymoshenko all over again. Whilst I worked closely with her for just 10 days, I don't believe the allegations that have been made, and wrote to her daughter, stating this.

I have been crying my eyes out with laughter at the video accompanying this news article. I just want to know why? And then, will he ever live it down?

I mean, why would anyone want to do this to themselves? :eek:

Another stressful day starting off with a meeting with the school re youngest. They want to do a risk assessment before he can go back (partly because he is refusing to use his inhalers at school, partly because he is hurting himself and partly because he has now broken two windows in the school by accident whilst in a meltdown - he didn't purposely break the windows, they were broken in the mad flail around he does in a meltdown) or at least have some advice from the asthma nurse who we are seeing on Wednesday.

One of the suggestions to go forward is part time hours (again! He only went full time half way through year 6)..well really it was the only suggestion the SENCO could come up with and it is not ideal, both of us are at a loss of the way forward because youngest does not react in the way expected of a 'normal' autistic, so normal strategies do not work with him (hence the complex tag).

After that it was shopping, quick nip back to the house to unload everything and then down to my parent's to take dad to the hospital to see the heart failure nurse (what a title!), luckily, James has now finished school so he could look after youngest whilst I was gone.

I must admit to having a little cry in the meeting this morning, not done that for ages but this is really starting to get me down now..he was doing so well and it seemed, had finally settled and then the school go and ruin everything by doing something so monumentally stupid, that we have regressed back to year 7, educationally, mentally, emotionally and behaviourally.

Someone was having trouble with inhalers before.

Was it sue and school or Michaels and doctors, I cannot remember.

If its sue and school I'd be explaining problems were partly contributed to by them. Would he understand that part time would make him as different as carrying/ using his inhaler?
