    I keep an eye on subscriptions and stuffs; I don't have linked in but I have a twitter/facebook/instagram accounts for my blog :) is that what you meant?
    Yep, that sort of thing. I was also thinking of following them back to their home base, so to speak, and seeing if I wanted to follow them too. It makes sense.
    You are not the first person to say that today :rotfl:
    Awww, Ed! Poor you! :rotfl:


    I saw a fantastic exhibition (believe it was all the Tutankhamun stuff?) when I was a lad, a real standout of my childhood and just about the only time my archaeologist Dad was cool...
    Your dad is an archaeologist? Coo! So you *always* knew what Daniel Jackson was on about? :D I saw the Tutankamun exhibition that was here when I was a teenager, and the odd special exhibit in various places since then.

    We've booked to go this Saturday - 10.30, which means leaving the house at 8.30 or so, and we'll get there before the very worst of the crowds :j

    I've been on the receiving end of a few months of CBT - I'm not sure I got masses of benefit from it, but I think that's because I didn't feel very connected with the counsellor - which (imo) is hugely important!

    A classic chicken and egg, RT :D tho I must point out that when I went to my Tutankamun exhibition, Daniel Jackson was about 6 years old :eek: :rotfl:

    She asked, I answered. She moved on hurriedly; it wasn't good. I don't think she expected quite such specific points ...

    Thanks beanie! Its not as painful, but its still coming out - the infection could flare at any time, and the whole process would repeat, its just not worth it. It's given me 18 years extra on the tooth, time to say bye-bye.

    I agree with you, greent, but CBT theory doesn't - which is why it can does so little good sometimes. I know one person personally, who was helped with a present day phobic behaviour, but thats it. Being turfed out without notice at the end of a session doesn't strike me as very good, though!

    Anyway, today, I'm pretending I'm retired from my job - when I've caught up on here, I'm going to prepare the rhubarb and elderflower, then have a break, then I'm going to Be A Writer :j:j:j and not even at elance (that needs me to set up the meeting with the elance writer I know, later on this month). Today, its going to be about my blog, my next book (ha!) and maybe even my novel :D
