  Really the only thing one can say is sorry and to let you know that we're thinking of you in your time of need. I think everyone has lost someone and it gives such comfort knowing that we aren't alone in the grieving period.

  hugs to you

  DJK - I may have a look into that. I was thinking something along the lines of biology of some sort, something that might have to do with plants or animals. I would love to work with nature or do something that helps the environment.

  I can only go to school part time, so maybe only one or two nights a week at the most probably.

  Thanks CoCo for your words...I like using the word of the day thing online. I used to have it set up on my igoogle page. I wanted to learn one new word a day, but it kept giving words I already knew.

  ChickPea...my husband Caedes and I reside in wonderful Devon, that's the South West part of the country. Very beautiful. We are only about 5 minutes walking distance to the English Channel, which is wonderful! I'm sick of the public transportation, but that's only because when you're standing outside when it's cold and rainy for over 30 minutes waiting for a bus that's supposed to come every 15 minutes and then 3 turn up all at the same time, you get a little irritated Otherwise, I think it is good too. And the train is fun to ride on. The taxi drivers are sometimes funny, they pretty much all talk about rugby

  Don't know Crumpet Wing Commander, but I hope he/she shows up again for you

  I don't know if it was just my congregation, but the men that did the baptism's were always fat or really ugly....why didn't they have the good looking ones doing the baptism? Did they think the girls would enjoy being touched by a good looking man or that the homosexual boys would enjoy it also? Things to ponder...

  US born and bred here Mrs Jones. England is lovely, definately worth seeing.

  Thank you for your support Babygirl. Italy would be lovely to see. I'm not too far from it now My husband and I are thinking of going to France for the day. We can take a ferry ride over for a day and it's really inexpensive. But I need to brush up on my french "Je ne parle pas francais beaucoup, tu parles anglais?" That's all I need I think, hopefully they'll take pity on an American with basic french speaking skills.

  Hi Casper...nice to meet you too. I don't usually have time to even add my 2 pence worth these days. I'm usually so busy at work, and I share my office with my boss, so I'm forever hitting alt + tab to get out of the internet before she sees what I'm doing That's one of the best things I've ever learned in my entire life!

  Hello all. I just wanted to start a thread because I haven't in a REALLY long time. I was feeling left out which is down to me I know. But when I saw my husband, Caedes had gotten to his 500th post, I thought I should start making more of an effort to come on here and post something. I really don't have much to say. Life in England is GREAT! I have been here over a year. And Caedes and I will be celebrating our 1 year anniversary next month...we can't believe it is already so soon. Time goes by way too quickly sometimes. I'm looking for different work and it's slow going. I'm also wanting to take up a course of some sort, I'm thinking science related. And I have a new desire to learn Russian. I'm wanting to learn new things now. I think because we were never told that going to college would be beneficial, so most of us probably haven't, I feel left out and I feel like I've been held back from achieving something. I want to do it before I get too old to read a book So I'm looking for a way to learn something new every day - like a new word or something about history or the world that I didn't ever know. If anyone has anything they would like to share, please share here

  Which movie is it??...Tommy Boy or Black Sheep where either Chris Farley or David Spade says "it doesn't hurt so much here or here, but right here"? That was hilarious...Love both of those films. A good old classic that I love is "McClintock"...John Wayne, comedy western. It's really funny!
