Dear Sweet Em,

Please forgive me for not responding to you sooner. I only just noticed your entry. I am so new at this I did not know to look so far down on the page. I checked out your page and you are so much like my daughter I may adopt you! I'm so proud of you for your terrific grades. I have already learned much from your help info,thank you so much.

One of my favorite songs is "Donald, where's your trousers?" My daughter also plays the guitar, pretty well in fact. Check her out at Yankee shoes.( I'll learn to put in a link next!)

Don't worry about not replying straight away, you'd be amazed how often I don't notice new messages you kinda have a tendancy to look straight to your posts list and ignore that top bit

I shall certainly check out your daughters page

And when using links to user pages all you need to put is their user number when you're in a conversation Although I can't even remember my own number off by heart let alone my sisters and friends..

I'm very proud of myself for my exam results, I worked really hard and I'm glad it paid off

and do you put brackets of some kind around the user number?< >?

I'm not familiar with a Prefect School? Will you go to University next? Do young ladies there live at home with their folks, or generally move out as soon as they turn a certain age? I'm full of questions if it doesn't irritate you too much!

No brackets, just the number...h2g2's a clever place

I'm just at a normal mix high school, I'm a prefect during this my 6th year, which means I get a little more responsibilty and trust from the staff.

I don't know about uni next year, I may take a gap year because currently I'm uncertain about what I want to do with my life, or I may go for a Modern Apprentiship, but I've got a year to think about it and a lot to talk about with my teachers.

Personally I'd really like to get out of my home town and into the big bad world, but with uni and the fact that being the middle child my four years of uni would cross over two of each of my sisters, it would cost too much to go away, but if it's my only option I won't discount it.

And don't worry about asking questions, one of my favourite words has always been "Why"

I am dragging my feet on going to hmtl school , but I will click over right after this reply...My older daughter (20) left home 2 years ago and now it is my younger(about to turn 18)leaving, she is only moving 25 miles away but I will miss her...on the bright side, I'll definately have more time on the computer! I, myself, could not wait to be out on my own...though I did move back in with my mom a few times before I got married. Are you dreaming of how you will furnish a place in your own style? Or don't care and just want out?

I just want to get away, I love my family...I just want to have my own space I guess, I don't really understand why I want to get away.

I just read your nidgering link...very interesting.First,what exactly does the word mean? Secondly, my husband's family has always believed they were from Scotland. Supposedly three brothers came across the pond and from them all other McKinneys here were spawned...is McKinney a Scottish name? Or Irish? If it is Irish I shall not tell my hubby as he may have to do away with himself!

Nidering is like nagging, you know the constant "are you gonna do it, are you gonna do it, are you gonna do it" kinda nagging

I don't know whether McKinney is a Scottish name...wouldn't be hard to find out, my surname isn't a direct Scottish Clan but part of the Stewart clan...so it would be perfectly likely it's SCottish Sahll have a look and see if I can find out for you though

Thanks Em. I'm going to an appreciation dinner tonite. We did a couple of free concerts for a summer series in the park. You don't get paid, but you can sell your tapes. The ladies get a bouquet of flowers and the men a commemorative coin. Last nite was the last one. My husband and I got up in protest, that the guys only got a coin, and presented the two men with giant zuccinnis(from our garden) wrapped like bouquets with a bow. It got a great laugh!

What's a zuccinni?

A very large green squash, especially when left to grow much too long! It was about the length of your forearm ( if your forearm is a foot and a half to two feet long...-ok bad comparison) and probably 6 inches wide. I'm afraid it had rather phallic overtones...

Mmmm, still haven't a clue, but it doesn't matter

Hope the evening was fun

I am slightly appalled you nothing of Zuccinni. However, I'm counting on it being you live somewhat north of me, and not that you don't eat your veggies! It was a great evening...we wowed 'em with our funny stuff, and there was waay too much food at the pot luck.

I like veggies and Scotland's quiet far away so maybe it's too cold up here for them

That's my guess. We're at the 45th parrallel, you're about 10 degrees northof us I believe. Do you eat Haggis? What veggies are most grown there?

I've only tried Veggie haggis, which was nice, very weird food if you ask me

we're kinda in tatty country

And while I am on a cliche roll...what time is it there? It's 3:45 in the afternoon here.

and one more thing! I'm trying to put a marquee with musical notes on my space. I think I'm messing up using the emoticons...I write But I think I need something else for the notes self contained....
