    Given recent events and the general air of hostility pervading certain sectors of society, I think it's good if we all make an extra effort to be NICE to each other.

    I'm taking refuge here, as it's getting scary out there! :eek:

    Mind you, I have just posted on another thread about two episodes of niceness I experienced today from people making way for me to go first, which was very nice indeed. :)
    Just little demonstrations of courtesy to a stranger. :):):):)

    A smile and a thank you never goes amiss, in my experience! :)

    I did that for three drivers today. They were waiting to turn off a main/narrow road, across my side of the road... I wasn't in a hurry so flashed them to let them cross.



    Be careful though ... some people take kindness as weakness, then get nasty when you won't be walked over :)

    That's ok... I'll just make sure I won't be walked over ... with a smile! :):):)

    Youngest son's 21st birthday today, I'm currently on a train on the way to Lincoln for a few days so I can take him out for dinner and spend some time with him to celebrate.
    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.

    I've made a mini break out of it, won't be back until quite late tomorrow night.

    That sounds great, Sue!

    It only seems like yesterday that he was trying to decide where to live in Lincoln!

    They may have been a little generous with the wine on the middle leg of my journey (upgraded that bit to first class)....hic!

    Somebody in Parliament has a sense of humour.

    Parliament is going to debate the petition – “Revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU.”

    The debate is scheduled for 1 April. :)
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
