Ah, that's it! I thought it was something about the hair. :) We're fine, thank you. Nothing interesting happening here. Except it's suddenly become Spring. It's so mild outside and there are snowdrops everywhere.

Bula Mama, when I saw your avatar I couldn't believe my eyes! You look just like I did about 20 years ago. Seriously, the resemblance is astonishing!

Corn dogs.

Fine thanks, up late again. Three of the children have colds and one of them keeps coughing. How are you?

Hello Lovedtodeath, I'm playing around with the new stuff and not sure how it works. You showed up on my friends/contacts list so I'm not sure if that means you were 'befriending' me or not. :)

I tried to add you as a friend but I don't think I've done it right. Still trying to figure it all out. Love, Debra

Hello, friend. :)

Hi there! We're all fine thanks, how about you?

Hi there. Nice to hear from you. We're fine, thank you, how are you?

Hi there. Yes we are better from our colds, thank you. How are you?

We are snowed in at the moment. It's not as much fun as it sounds. :)

Hi there. Nice to have you as a friend.

Hi, there - something is different about you, what is it? :)

Homeschooling is fine here. It's legal and no state interference or interest. (a while back they were supposed to make yearly inspections but no one ever turned up) As far as I know there are absolutely no homeschool suppliers, curricula etc. and I order pretty much everything from Rainbow Resources or Amazon.co.uk. I don't know how many homeschoolers there are here. I know of two other families in real life but there must be more. I used to subscribe to a UK internet homeschool mailing list but the constant complaining and quarreling got tiresome so I gave that up.

I always smile when I see your avatar. Cappyboppy is one of our family's all time favourite stories.

I really like your responses to the thread 'Need some help from Christians in comforting my Dad'.

It's more than 20 years since I ate hot dog. I threw up within five minutes of eating it, in public - didn't even have time to make it to a bathroom! I feel slightly queasy right now just thinking about it.:ack2:

Just had to stop by and say - I love your avatar! Is the kitten yours?
