      Part of me has accepted things the way they are and that I need to carry a big stick when I walk. Pity about Seffy being too scared to walk places without me and my big stick. On a positive note, the dog issue gave, err, gives me an opportunity to try poetry which I don't write and don't really like reading. Enjoy your new family member! Lucky pooch.

    Child 3 & 4 need help. If they can't see your really big nose that takes up the whole of your face, is it any wonder children are falling behind....

    I will try that again. I am half asleep and grammar and punctuation went out the window. How can I think of their eye health when I have been humiliated? And by five and six years old/year olds (?) I know I have a big nose and can ignore it (except if I cross my eyes) around adults. There is nothing like copping the honesty of young people.
    I reckon they should have a say in governing our country to keep us all honest - reserve a set number of Senate seats for them. Imagine parliament - the politicians would be using 'happy' voices to speak and there would be 'no put downs.' And they'd all have to make 'good choices' or go to 'time out'.

    I can't even picture your nose. It can't be that big, even considering my poor eyesight!

    My kids say I've got a beak. I say, oh well, your nose grows as you get older, and you've got my genes.

    Thank you. I plan to use that next time TK and Sutchy refer to me as Seagull, a word that, when applied to me, causes them to double over with laughter??????
