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

Welcome, welcome, welcome, to the wonderful site of H2G2 (otherwise known as hootoo - you will see this word a lot). This is not an automated message, I am an <./>ACE</.>, and I'm here to help you settle into your new home

H2G2 is a living, breathing guide to Life, the Universe and Everything. Take a look in here: <./>info?cmd=art</.>. It's something YOU can take part in. You can write entries on all manner of subjects, and if it's something you think would look good in our Edited Guide (where all the best research goes), you can submit it to Peer Review. Take a look at the <./>writing-guidelines</.> for more information on that

I've created a little list of links, just for you, so click on A4992357 and have a look at them (actually the links are my daughter's... but, hey Hootoo is one big family!)

If you click on each link, they will take you to parts of hootoo no sane person should ever go alone on this site.....

......but, as it seems no one here is sane, it doesn't matter does it?

Have a look around, pop into my personal space and read some conversations that I have on the go at the moment and you will see how things work. Don't be frightened to jump in on conversations, hootooers don't bite. (Well, some of them do. Just be aware of the thread you are reading and whether or not it "appears" to be a private conversation between two people.) However, if you wish to chat with one of them, click on their name tag and leave a message in their Personal Space.

You could have a look here too!: <./>info?cmd=conv</.> You might find some of your future friends in there.

Remember, if you get lost shout for help and, hopefully, I'll be around to give you a helping hand. In case I'm not around, just leave a message here <./>ACE</.> and someone will be with you just as soon as they can. Failing that, just click on MY SPACE on the left hand side of your screen and you'll get back to your personal space.

Remember, I'm here to help.



lil xxx

thanks, cracking name btw

spent most of the day on here rather than doing any productive work,however I don't feel a shred of guilt at all!!

I will give you a shout if I get stuck, and thanks for the links as well!

*giggles*

Thank you!



Careful, it is very addictive. I gave up smoking by joining Hootoo


Shout anytime!


lil xx

ah I've done it the other way then gave up in December

WooHoo!


Well done!

Thank you - it's hard work just now

It gets easier. I had smoked for over 30 years and never tried to give up before.

I made my decision to give up on 31st January - because February is the shortest month


That was 5 years ago

I look forward to reaching 5 months let alone 5 years just now!

But well done to you after 30 years..I has smoked for 25 when I stopped but was only 12 when I started

Oh, I had left school when I started smoking... Part of growing up, everyone else smoked in the office

Lil, hello how are you?

Hope this finds you well

Pedros!!

You're back!!!


Yes. I am well, and about to become a grandmother in September


How are things with you?

Ooh congrats on about the impending grandmotherhood (is that even a word?)

good to be back, been struggling to find the time at all

moved again last June to a bigger house round the corner from where we were

past 2 years have been hectic, my middle daughter was diagnosed with Aspergers last March and my youngest daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes back in January just past, so thats me and three of the kids with Type 1 now. on top of that my eldest loon was diagnosed with hypermobility in february so its all go in our house as usual

still doing degree as well and working hard so kinda neglected on here for a while but it's nice to be back.

hows life treating you?

Three with diabetes! Is that normal in families?

Hypermobility is painful - we have a Guide Entry about it, somewhere.

Asperger's? We have a nephew with that, when he was younger his mum couldn't leave him alone at home, because he would dismantle things to see how they worked!

He became much better and controlled the urge as he grew up.

Hubby and I have moved too. His dad died last year, so we bought the bungalow and moved in here in September. Lots of things need doing. We've just had a new kitchen installed, and as it was of non-standard construction, we've had the out aluminium walls replaced with insulation bricks, and the whole thing rendered!

its not normal at all, they can't quite believe it at the clinic, doing genetic tests to find out if the other two of the 5 are likely to develop it.

that sounds like a big job on the house hope it all goes well.

Erin's Aspegers is interesting she has a thing for drawing and some of the pictures she does are amazing for a 9 year old so that's here wee thing

At least the bungalow is still standing

I hope your other 2 youngsters are negative for diabetes

Most youngsters with Asperger's appear to be very artistic in nature. I hope she can use it as a career

Its possible Lil, she certainly has a lot of talent anyway

Those I've known in h2g2 have been very artistic, so I don't see why your daughter can't use her talent
