I have never seen that show. we live a pretty much self sufficient lifestyle. Nothing to do with the world ending, we live it because it is fun... plus we can then survive on a very low income. We have a couple of months supply of food at all times, we grow just about all our own fruit and veggies,and produce our own milk and meat. it is very rewarding. I know people who have bunkers. They build them to BUSHFIRE protection, a very realistic threat in Australia.

:hurray: :hurray:

:grouphug: you are in my thoughts

:grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: I cried reading all your stories :crying: :crying:

exactly there is no other way to eat them. Stuffing them into your pocket and having them cold is not something that is done. :svengo: Not at all!

well, I do both a big clean on the weekend plus clean all the time. laundry every day, including line drying and folding. vacuum most of the house every 2-3 days clean kitchen every few hours. once a week I do the bathrooms and wash the floors, sometimes I dust.

I would keep the dog outside. I am not a fan of dogs in houses, and I especially cannot stand dogs pooping in houses.

I am so sorry. :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :grouphug:

my idea of a crumpet must be different than yours. they are round things full of holes, made from a yeast batter that you warm up in a toaster and poor honey all over, which soaks right through and makes a huge mess. Definitely not something you would put in a pocket

HI, I have tried several times to send you a pm, but it isn't working so I will post the info here. I am also studying through Open Uni ~Curtin. I have 3 electives and I was thinking of doing some of the ancient history units that open uni offers. I was wondering if you could give me some advice on some that are really interesting. Please. Oh, and do they have exams. Thank you.

My oldest had this. I scribed for him until he was around 16. I use to find it so frustrating, but he could not write. He would start out writing, and crunch up the paper,then start on another sheet and repeat, until he was surrounded with crunched up paper and said he was on strike. It was so frustrating for both of us! :bored: At 17 he did his very first essay all by himself for a university course, and got 76%. I was ecstatic. :hurray: . My point is DON'T DESPAIR. Don't feel you are letting your child off easy by scribing for them. If you don't they get held back by their lack of ability to write. My DS is now at Uni studying Aerospace Engineering. he is one of the top students in his class. He does all of his own writing. Even 3 years ago I would not have believed it if a fortune teller told me that he would get there.

hard copy. I have so many notes and bookmarks in mine, it just about falls open at the pages I need. :coolgleamA:

hugs and more hugs :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: you are constantly in my thoughts

I constantly get calls from India in regard to some supposed error on my computer (It is a known scam). I always cut across them talking say I am not interested and hang up. on Thursday they called, I hung up, the man immediately called again and told me of for hanging up. I hung up again. He then rang me 7 times. I rung a dinner bell in the phone, told him to stop calling and eventually hit upon the great idea of NOT ANSWERING THE PHONE.
