    Hello Chev, :hello:

    Good to see you posting. :)

    That blog gave me the shivers - hope someone tells her about aloe vera for sorting out all those scars (such a shame it wasn't used in the first place!).

    Hi Chev
    Great you are "back" did you rediscover the joys of reading books whilst t'interweb was off? Although annoying I suspect it has some benefits. I would LOVE a holiday where mobile phone and t'interweb coverage was non-existent just for 3 to 5 day so I could not be disturbed and recharge properly.

    Here's to you!

    Very easy to achieve.................leave all the gadgets at home including phone and dont log on to anything using anybody else gadgets either - there was a life before instant communication/imaging/info and I remember it.............and I dont consider myself old! Looking forward to my 3 weeks with real books and pen and paper - an if anybody really ( and it has to be life or death sistuation) wants me there is a land line:)

    Between everyone in the house except DS2 being ill, having to do course work for courses I am bored with, and having a spat on here, with someone I care about greatly, tonight is not a good night

    Hi all
    I decided ref the person I had a spat with that I would no longer participate in their thread any more. I cared about what happened to this person, and got upset when they were just repeating the same behaviours over and over.

    Hopefully they will sort themselves out eventually, but I couldn't bite my lip anymore.

    I am amazed to say that I have passed my assignments so far. This is a bit stunning as I barely passed o level maths, and am now doing the equivalent of A level statistics. Thank heavens some of the calculations can be done on the computer!

    As there are enough sources to sink a battle ship, if anyone has come across reports etc on the ethical issues with organ donation - pros and cons, I would be grateful for a steer.

    Cheers

    Hi Chev

    Good to 'see' you again.

    I know what you mean about not learning and repeat behaviours (I am guilty of a few I am sure) but thereis one thread on here where I have wanted to have a good rant at someone to get themselves together. They just don't seem to be able to listen and able to confront it and change. I think change is too threatening to them..Oh well. I just post less often...easier for me perhaps though as I don't really know them and certainly not in RL.

    Brilliant re the maths!! You are an inspiration!

    How's my lovely Land of the Long White Cloud?
