Maybe you have a fear of talking to invisible people.

I hear it's quite common.

I'm shyer than I seem.

But you're onto something there, HLJ. If I can't see the person, for all I know they're pointing at me and laughing and making crazy faces. There could be whole crowds of people doing that, like I'm on some auditory jumbotron. :crazy:

Does that mean that you can see me?

Only when I look through your window.

:bolt:

Oh good. I often feel as if my laptop's webcam is spying on me.

Aden got a b+ to a- on his last english assignment for the year. I'm really happy about this, because he's been struggling with his teacher all year. They're totally at odds with each other, and it's taken great strength of will for Aden to just pretty much ignore her and work with me or by himself on his assessment pieces. She gave him a D in first semester which really didn't sit well with any of us, so that's a great improvement. Overall, he's expecting a B for the final semester and I don't think I could ask for much more.

It's really made me see that he can do anything if he sets his mind to it, so I hope he can store this little journey in his memory bank for future reference the next time he gets a teacher, lecturer (assuming he still wants to go to uni in another couple of years) or boss who doesn't bother looking below the surface.

;)

damn straight! hell i'm living proof of that!!

And even better, he reckons he aced his maths exam today. :)

Mav is doing well with his stuff also. I'm very proud of them both.

Excellent! You got good kids Ali. You're doing it right.

Great Mum (of course), decent boys and also a good father figure.
Dazza is a man I'd like to meet.

^^WSS^^
I'd love to be able to come to the land down under and go fishing with Dazza and the boys.

Well, what's holding you back?

Someone around this joint needs to win the lotto somewhere and shout us all a trip to the one location.

That way we can all meet and do the things we want with the people on here.

We may need to get some private rooms for a few of the...hmmmm...more excitable posters. lol
