If any of you guys are at a loose end I am going to the Hotel Inntel just by Dam Square from the 20th to the 27th. Tell 0031205301818 for reservations. Ask for Andrew, they'll know me by the time you get there. LOL. O, but I should tell you, those guys that they warn you about physically meeting...

My news server, aioe.cjb.net hasn't shown any new posts in long enough that all the downloaded ones timed out and went away - so I show zero posts. Anyone else seeing the same thing?

Excuse me while I rant a little....... I am so so fed up and sick and tired of working through a system that is just plain sicker than its clients. My daughter and I have suffered through enough now. Where does a parent go for help? "the system" and this system of doctors and organisations and...

I had to have our dog put down tonight, of all nights. We had a wonderful day out at the lake with my Dad's side of the family, and brought our Weimaraner with us, as she absolutely loved it out there. Unfortunately, she became very ill after dinner and I thought perhaps she'd eaten...

Alright, Amie is just about 6 months old now. She's currently on baby food (she's had stuff like peas, carrots, green beans, wax beans, applesauce, bananas, etc) I give her some pablum in the morning - sometimes with a bit of bananas or whatever mixed in, but not always, some veggies for lunch...

I'm having some trouble here... B's 5, and there's some things that I just don't know how to deal with or approach... Ever since the accident, he's wanted to keep the gauze on his forehead. The plastic surgeon had said that it was alright to take the bandage off and give the wound some air, at his...

A puppy! A little matlese-shih tzu. He's all black with a little white patch on his chest, and he's adorable. I surprised Norm with him, and Bran has yet to find out (as he's at Grandma and Grandpa's - along with Amie for the evening) I was suggesting random, stupid names, and then I went and...

Has anyone done this? I just got off the phone with B's teacher. She had said that he's doing great, but long story short, her recommendation is that he stay a second year in kindergarden come this September. He's doing good as far as uppercase/lowercase letters go, knows the sounds that the...

Hi everyone, I don't know if many of you will remember me, but I used to post quite regularly about 3-4 years ago. I see a couple of names I recognise, like 'Kate, Joelle, and Lisa, and many new names too. Back when I used to post, the group was sort of ruled by Didi, Matt, Peterd and a few...

Well, I feel as though I always post with bad news lately. I suppose because it has been bad news. My Grandfather died yesterday, due to his stroke. He was 84 and it was probably to much. He started having problems breathing, then it stopped and he has a living will not to be resuscitated. I think...

Here's the dilemma - My boyfriend and I have a business together, it's a web based business. Lately things have been picking up, unfortunatly I work a full time job(this was supposed to be part time, when-I-can-get-to-it kind of web-based hobby). So here's the dilemma; Because it's gotten...

Hi All, I am a single dad who has a 14 year old daughter but I am finding it very hard to cope. She has started to be disruptive at school as well as everywhere else for that matter. She seems to lose her temper all the time now right to the point where she is hitting people including me. How do...

Hi all, I am new to this group and just thought I would say hi to all those nice people out there. I am a single dad living in Oxford, UK -- Gordy....( Oxford, UK) Website: http://wizzy.linksysnet.com MSN:

"'Kate" wrote in message ... For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free". Here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it's not...

Hiyas.... a couple of years ago, when custody became an issue again, my ex kept insisting that the scathing sarcasm big, bad, mean, witch of an exwife (that'd be me!) prevented him from visiting with his son. My question to him in court (through the great articulation of my lawyer) was, "where...

"'Kate" wrote in message ... Does your definition of "success" include remarrying? Marrying at all, let along 'remarrying' doesn't even factor into whether or not I think I'm successful in life. Finding someone to be with...
