"<br />Charles Lamb <br /><br />"The most common error made in matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one's soul shine through. If there are places on your body where this is a possibility, you are not attractive - you are leaking.

You know....politeness.<br /><br />Charles Lamb? Look sweetheart, I'm a scientist, a microbiologist and a biochemist and a computer scientist. I don't read essays on Elia, I read binary/Boolean Logic, military History and good old escapist Science Fiction, not namby-pamby English essays.

I hope the quack works out what is wrong and makes Mrs T feel better quickly. We will be watching the rugby with great interest - winning the Tri-Nations has put a spring in our step.

Looking forward to your big rant with much anticipation.<br />You have had a lot on your plate lately with covering for poor Clive at work and now having Mrs Twisted not well. I think you need to be a bit more assertive with your son. It is your home and your computer. Tell him if he doesn't like that he can go live elsewhere - away from the creature comforts of home. I think you spoil the lad too much. I would not put up with my kids taking over the computer ever. I had to sort that problem out years ago when they were young teens and addicted to the the net. We even cancelled out net plan for awhile to show them who was the boss. Well hope things start to setle down soon and Mrs Twisted recovers. I hope she has'nt got morning sickness. Her symptoms sound familiar. Heck no, your'e a bit past all that eh?Valley Girlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556021846818907745.post-80758244146292649022011-09-05T07:59:05.106+12:002011-09-05T07:59:05.106+12:00Welcome back!

Hope she's better soon.<br /><br />BTW - surely your son would be better being up on the internet all night. Isn't that the natural state of the young?<br /><br />Or does he have to show up for classes somewhere....<br /><br />Maybe he should buy himself a laptop. {With your money admittedly}Alistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667242161539996736noreply@blogger.com
