Just had a petsitting job come through from the agency....but this time it's catting instead of dogging. I hope there isn't a sleazy second meaning for that too(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -
Much better that children learn to resolve tussles in a safe environment, doing something they enjoy under the watchful eyes of parents and people who care about them.
I think parents are often quite glad to have these opportunities to help their child learn.
I actually think the kids don't get on too badly, but the parents are very...protective. I don't blame them as both kids get bullied at school, but you can't coddle your kids forever.
I can't do anything other than mitigate, to be fair, and I'm not going to put one child's happiness up at the expense of another getting upset.

how long do I leave it before I start chasing the HA?0 -
Good luck Melly. How long do they usually take to respond? I would give them that long, plus a little bit before you chase them. Give them opportunity to look in to your request.

It proves me point though and looks good for the ombudsman0 -

Or is there yet another meaning? :eek:
Edit. Yup! There is! Groan!
It means to hunt around for any available sexual partners, like a tomcat.
Sigh of exasperation!
Have another try, 7DW!

Ah!
I was called in compliance today for an interview. I thought it was a random review. It turns out that someone believes I'm not that disabled (you can't see the damage inside my head or the fact that I've got part of my optic nerves missing. Well, you could if you shone a light in my eyes; but I won't let you) and they claim I'm living elsewhere. All my mail goes to mine. The only stuff that has gone to my parents, has gone there because I've not had a working intercom.Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked

Good afternoon all!
Thank you for the unknowing giggle SDW, catting may also mean you are coming down from a night of hard drugs! When I worked for the HIV charity we had to learn every slang term possible and about all different types of sex so that we understood our clients no matter what walk of life they came from. Believe me, so many terms have other meanings! If in doubt feel free to ask me, we had to remember them all and they are forever etched in my brain.
I need to stop sleeping, my carer left in me the bath and came back to me asleep! How embarrassing! Then I went back to bed after she left and have just got up again. Hurry up and work pills!Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened - Anatole France

Afternoon my lovelies,
Today is not a good one. A couple of things have not helped today.
Did not get the job. Did not think I would anyway. And I'm now naughty have had a PM from the forum team that I have been naughty in one of my posting. I was not rude or swore but the other person was rude and aggressive. But I am the one who is in the wrong.
Penguin -possible trigger
If I had my choice I would go to sleep tonight and not wake up tomorrow.
I am just tired and my life is crap. I just don't ever see it getting any better ever. And everything I do is just pointless and worthless.
I feel so broken in all ways. Got nothing to look forward to. I can see xmas is going to on my own again. Whoo
Penguin end
I am sure it will pass and tomorrow will better. I can only hope.
Yours
CalleyHope for everything and expect nothing!!!
