I'm sorry to hear about your Mum <'> My thoughts are with you at this time <'>

Great, I'm terrified of flying anyway and will be flying on Qantas from London to Sydney in April. I hope this won't be my plane

John Mayall & Friends - Along For The Ride.

Here's another:- You are a fantastic, wonderful, brilliant, amazing, magnificent Mum and person <'>

Hiya, I'm sure this book/topic has been posted but I'm unable to get the Search facility to work and so can't look for it so if this is a duplicate posting then by all means delete this one. Who here has read The Curious Incident of The Dog in The Night-Time by Mark Haddon? It's about a 15 year old boy named Christopher Boone who lives with Asperger's Syndrome who must solve a murder mystery. I'm about halfway through currently (and am not normally a reader) and enjoying it. Jonathan xxxx.

I bought this book last week. The question on whether someone is conscious after beheading is horrific.

I was diagnosed with TS in 1999 and it manifests mainly as winks, blinks and tics. Also, I mutter to myself and know only too well the stigma that comes from having TS. Good on Pete and good on you justamom.

I'm an Atheist yet I too enjoy the melody of that song. I'll be singing it round the house now

Playing chord configurations on the back of my hand when nervous and then playing 'solos' on it when listening to a guitar track. Snapping the joints of my left hand. Saying the word "Wow!" a lot when talking with people.

I'm a virtual recluse. My body language and eye contact is well weird, I just don't know where to put myself or how long to look at people for when I'm talking with them. I went on a coach trip yesterday and by the end of the day had alienated pretty much everyone around me bar a lovely couple who smiled and chatted away to me. I keep to myself, easier for me and easier for everyone else.

Fleetwood Mac - Greatest Hits

It was either moved or managed to crawl to where it was. Even in the state I saw it in, there was no denying it had been a beautiful animal. Very sad

I sleep all day and stay up all night, that way I make sure I'm left alone. I take very early morning walks so I ostensibly have the whole neighbourhood to myself. I'm not liked, the neighbours are very uncomfortable with me because try as I might, I can't pass for normal so I stay on my own, it's easier.

Happy Birthday Paula <'>

I was out for a walk this morning when I chanced upon something that caused me to take a sharp intake of breath and recoil - it was a beautiful pussycat that looked on first glances as if it was sleeping, though a tad awkwardly, by the side of the road. It was only as I leaned in towards it that I noticed the blood in its eyes and pooling on the ground by its mouth. I was genuinely shaken by it and just stood there not knowing what to do. I didn?t want to leave it like that but what could I do? I had nothing to cover it with nor could I move it, this was someone?s pet after all. I eventually left but kept looking back. It was then I realised that someone was going to be very unhappy today. Doesn?t bear thinking about.

Hi Lauren <'> I enjoy the waffle but I'll keep an eye out for Pete's book. He lived in Brighton didn't he? I saw him performing a routine in the mid 90's about his trips on mesculine, very funny

Thanks mate

I've always found reading to be difficult, well that's not entirely true as I used to read voraciously but from my late teens onwards I've hardly read a book. I can read newspapers, magazines, backs of cornflake packets, bus timetables you name it, just not books. Well, recently on a whim I bought a book from a local charity shop, brought it home and hey presto, found reading it an absolute pleasure. The book is Bill Bryson - Notes From A Small Island. It's not just informative but really funny too, sometimes I find myself laughing out loud. Yay! I'm reading again

Lisa, rest assured, you are a fantastic Mum <'> If you weren't, you wouldn't be so worried about your son would you? I think you're brilliant mate <'>

I can't speak for anyone else (obviously) but I know for myself when I've done something I shouldn't have and even though I may appear angry or shoutey or I stammer and stutter, I do feel sad for others and hurt when they hurt because of things I've done or not done, said or not said so I'm guessing that even though maybe you don't feel the satisfaction needed from perhaps hearing from your kids what you want to hear with regards things, chances are they do know you're worried/hurt/sad whatever, it's just we don't relate back to you how we feel in a way that puts your mind at rest but we are there and we do care <'> When I stammer and stutter and words get blurted out and the anger starts coming up it's because of the feelings coming up not a lack of them. We do care about you as parents, we do know what you do for us, we just don't express that maybe as we should <'>
