She was complimenting you BBL! And if you haven't met her yet, you seriously don't know what you're missing. Seriously. She is an enigma!
I'm baaaack!
Thank you one and all for the kind thoughts and vibes. It went really well. EB, yes, I'd be near Wall Street. Taking a break from the sample sales would probably be a good thing at this point. I might even -- gasp -- save some money.
Mindi - I hope Henry's OK. I've caught Winky eating litter, no joke. He mostly chews it and spits it out but still, GROSS!!!! Anyway, hopefully the little guy and you are both fine by later today.

Hi Misti -- We are pain in back twins today. What an accomplishment. Except I'm in pain everyday.
please be careful on the ice.
please be careful on the ice.
Seeing a massage therapist at 4. He's told me to lay off the anti-inflammatories. So since I have to be out literally all day and evening, I am taking very small ladylike steps to avoid slipping. At I'm telling myself that's what it looks like!!
Thanks, IL. Seriously, I hope you feel better soon. Your knee and your back?
Oy.
One day we should all have a major WOW!!
Question for any of you who have had to write letters of recommendation as teachers, professors for students. May I pick your brains? Could you please PM me? Thanks.
Afternoon everyone!
Mistikat, wishing your back better quickly! There must be something in the Chat water as I put my shoulder out whilst swimming this morning! Can we have someone talking about winning the lottery; that would be a much better shared event!
Mindi, you would have loved the story I heard on the radio earlier about a young labrador. The owner thought he might have eaten one of the kids' dolls and so took him to the vet. When nothing conclusive could be found on x-ray they decided to open him up and yes, found a small plastic doll and also the owner's mobile phone! My friend's labrador puppy was also a nightmare; one of his more expensive meals was her DH's wallet containing quite a few £20 notes!! It's a good job they're so cute and adorable!
On a more serious note, hope that the surgery goes well.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Restricter, I hope that the new job would be a step up the ladder, and not like that one the headhunter was trying to get you to go for before! Lots of Winky vibes!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
B-Mom, Kids are all completely different so you can never work out if it was the tactic that you employed that worked or not! My eldest is on the whole pretty good about doing his homework by himself; I've told him to ask me if there's anything he's not sure about, but now that he's twelve, I figure that what gets handed in has to be his own work so that the teachers can see he really understands the stuff. (An aside; when I was younger I asked my mum for some help with my french homework, but she took it over and wrote it out for me to copy. A couple of days later my teacher was handing back our work and said that mine was very good, but we hadn't actually done the future-imperfect tense yet. Never asked for help from that day on!!)
My youngest on the other hand is an absolute nightmare when it comes to h/w. Every time I ask him there is a huge dramatic cry like I'd asked him to give up one of his kidneys, lol! He also cries like this when I ask him to lay the table, and other minor tasks so we've rather got used to his ad-dram performances! It just seems to be something we have to go through with him in order to get anything done. The kids know that there is no tv/xbox etc until they've done their homework so I'm not too sure what else to do, but I can totally sympathize with you about how wearing it can be...
Nurse, a very belated happy birthday! Hope you were spoilt rotten!

Hi to everyone I've missed & sorry for such a long post!!
IL, you're making me blush 
But thank you 
LOL, BBL, I understood, but still think you're hot, take it as a compliment!
Jules, hope your shoulder feels better
Misikat, hope the appt this afternoon helps!
Mindi, as someone who has went through many dental surgeries, hope they go well and you get a good night's sleep tonight. Take all meds they tell you too! (and Henry, stop eating things 
)

(and Henry, stop eating things )Has everyone fallen into a coma after my last post?!
I need some advice! How do a make a chilli less hot? Normally make double quantity so that I can freeze some but time constraints tonight meant I made less, however I think I may have put the same amount of chillis in there; whoops!
It's fine for an adult palate, but you may hear the yells from my boys all the way across the water!! Oh well, they'll be off to uni in no time and living off vindaloos so at least this will give them some good practice!!
