h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It's one thing to have a messy room--that's okay--it's another to trash the entire house and leave a trail of junk in every room. When I did that as a child (and believe me, I wasn't always a neat freak) the toy would get tossed. I learned my lesson.

MR, whatever you do, don't let her see you go nuts. That's the payoff for her pushing your buttons. When you feel the explosion coming on, make sure you do whatever is necessary to blow off the without her knowing it.

After you calm down you can go back and matter of factly dispense the consequences.

Ah, hindsight is indeed 20/20.

{[caer csd] MR, it sounds to me as if you are coming dangerously close to being a good mother! It will get better, honest

Off to bed to read a newly discovered medieval murder mystery writer (for me anyway), Alice Clare}

new Epson 2200 (aka 2100 in England)

Oooooh, is that the one with the archival ink that lasts 100 years? (how do they know that?)

Good point d'Elaphant.

Off to bed. Good night, dear people, good night.

Our team lost the pub quiz by 1/2 a point

but for the team that one it's their first time of winning so for them.

MR
as one who doesn't have little people, anything i say will probably be completly wrong.

but....

Mum or Dad wanting you to tidy your room is an excuse to rebel, but if your friends are coming round you'll want to tidy it.
So with luck when she has some new friends at school it will sort itself out.

B, re: amount of pain in the world-personal opinion:way too much

My usual response to the query "How are you?" is "marvelous". It gives most people pause and a smile and occasionally provokes a request for an explanation. "I prefer not to lie, so for the time it takes me to think it and say it, I am." Maybe doesn't last, but it's better than nothing.

Well, I'm with Caer on the relief at knowing that most sane people do not keep up with ex's...

Bumblebee has been away from h2g2 due to a severe attack of the tummybug.
Best regards,
Bumblebee's mother.

*examines note closely*

Now, doesn't that look suspiciously like Bee's handwriting?

{[caer csd] I do hope poor Bee didn't get the bug off me, it was a rather nasty one.

The accountant has sent me more stuff to do }

See! I told you. The bugs have found a way to get down the wires. It'll be the 'flu season soon .



(Mind you, just an smiley would be nice - I think we're all being punished for my enthusiasm last week .)

I had never really challenged the idea that maintaining a friendship was anything but a good thing. It sprang out of denial of course.

Have any of you come across 'Angel' cards? They are little cards with a single word, usually an abstract noun, on them. You pick one anytime you want a wake-up call from the Universe. I kept on getting 'Truth' recently. I even tipped them out of the container in order to muddle them up, and 'Truth' still flipped itself over and stared up at me.

The one I got yesterday was 'Birth'. (I suspect the 'Re-' is written in invisible ink).

Y'all have given me a lot to think about.

Anyway, papers to file, stuff to buy, rooms to tidy!

Take care, my dears.

[Munchkin] Gets on fine with his ex's, but in a "haven't sen them for years, if met in the street would happily chat" sort of way, so hopefully I'm not too wrong
Room tidying - I remember my dad went on for ages about how if we didn't tidy up something would get broken. Then he came in and in a very exaerated way stood on something and broke it. That got me tidying, but now I just pile it into cupboards higgeldy piggeldy and leave it for years.
And finally, there is a new skin? How up to date am I not?
