Hi all

[caroline godfrey]

I'm new to this group and just though I'd introduce myself. I'm a 30 year
old single mum of a 4 yr old girl and 2.5 yr old boy and I have been doing
this single parent thing since I was 6mths pregnant with my son. This year
I have just gone back to fulltime study and working on the weekends, I never
seem to get a second to myself. Going out - what's that. Well I'm just
looking for other mum's to talk to and swap ideas with. And by the way I'm
all the way over in Australia.
Thanks
Caroline

Hello Mam.

My Name is Rolly, I'm with the springfield sanitation department.

Could you please tell me which way your toilet bowl drains ( clockwise or
counter clockwise )

We thank you for your cooperation, we used to call collect for this, but a
young man got in trouble for it.

Hi and welcome, from Canada.
I'm Kat.

P.S.,
There's a lot of single dads here as well... Are they alright to get ideas
from?

Paul really is nothing but a Dr. Phil alias. (Dr. Phil, Dr. Paul - see the
similarities??)
Dr. Phil is definitely one to get good ideas from, so that makes Dr. Paul
a-okay.

Absotively, Posolutely Paul!!

I love hearing what dads have to say. Especially when raising boys it helps
to gain a man's perspective.

Sorry I haven't posted of late, life has interfered. More on us later,
if/when I have time.

Love everyone (well........almost)

Gosh, yeah. I'd have never noticed otherwise. Thanks.

Of course single dads are fine for getting ideas off. More the better as
far as I'm concerned. We are all single parents doin the hard slog and if
we can help each other out once in a while that is just great
Bye Caroline

[Andrew]

Hi from Andrew, I can't really do an official welcome to the group as I am
new here as well. Glad dads can give ideas too ; )

wow, I know what its like being single parent but single parent and another
one on the way and you survived it all? All respect to you, it can't have
been easy and you did not break. I think you should consider yourself forged
in fire and well tempered steel.

Hi Kat,

Help. You're going to have to educate me. Is 'top posting' replying on top
of the previous comments like I am doing now? Or does it refer to something
else?

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet?

Maybe. Let's all wait and see! Wee! It's like waiting for Christmas!
Which Steve is (almost) everyone talking about when they mention him? I
think I have really, really missed something...
