I scroll down and find in For the Girls  an entry in 'Has anyone had probl...'  They're a poor choice of men, I know, but there are some who might be drawn in by your particular skills.

Thank you.  I found out what the bell was about.  I'm intrigued about what you liked about my post, as you didn't ....  Oh dear, I've just mummed all over it, haven't I?  The point of like is that you don't have to say anything.  I get it now.

A chap I was really into, and I thought he was into me. He was polite, but quite firm, so I think that's going nowhere :'( You're right about the sax player. Wesley McGoogan was from my town. I knew him a bit when I was growing up. When they think of saxophone most people think of Baker Street, but Wes's solo is wonderful and ambiguous. No matter how many times I hear it I don't know whether the chap stayed or said goodnight. Well, in my case... Sadly, Wes is no longer with us. Too fond of his drink and such. Megan x

A wonderful chappy called Tacchi Wrote a verse that I doubt I could match. He He was overly kind, But you see, I don't mind, Cos his poem was really quite catchy. Oh, you! Me write beautiful language indeed. Behave! Oh I know what I'm good for, and I'm ok with that. But I read well enough to see what other people can do and (here's the life is cruel part) to see HOW they do it. Just can't do that myself and like most people I suspect, I'm envious of what I can't do. But you're quite right, it's too easy to be dismissive of our own skills, and I thank you for that reminder.

Ah, until I double checked what I'd written, you'd lost me. Either John Serrie is a mystical kind of chap, or he ... Well actually, I didn't like where that sentence was going. I'll come clean, I don't know John Serrie. Is he poetic? Is he like John Martyn?

Are you saying ubiquitous would have been a better choice of words? lol

Asi que eres Argentina. Yo tenia un amigo Argentino llamado Pepof en Sevilla, en Espana. Hablo espanol mexicano, pero he leido Mafalda. Supongo que no estamos permitidas hablar espanol aqui

Ay, disculpame. Parece que no soy la unica que quiere praticar su espanol. Pobre de ti. O quizas prefieres hablar ingles aqui. La verdad es que mi espanol es tan anticuado, hace diez anos que no lo hablo. He leido en espanol. Pero mi hija esta estudiando espanol en la universidad, y me gustaria mucho poder ayadarla. No, en realidad, temo que va a hablar mejor que yo. Veo de tu foto que eres muy hermosa, y tu avatar es perfecto. Te gusta bailar? Yo bailaba el baile popular ingles antes, pero hoy en dia mis rodillas quejan demasiado. Te veo dando vueltas bajo la mano de algun gaucho, pero con todo eres su maestra. Disculpame. Vivo en Europa donde solo temenos estereotipos para entretenarnos.

Considerandolo bien, me parece que fui algo injusta negarme a hablar espanol aqui. Si quieres estare muy contenta hacerlo, en cuanto pueda volver al ingles cuando mi espanol no sea suficiente para lo que tengo que decir lol (o deberia ser slc (suelta la carcajada) ? Ay, que anticuada soy!

Cool. One of my proudest moments was when a couple of kids I'd taught for a school concert to play Holst's Jupiter on xylophone and metallophone as a duet did it in front of the school and were better than the kids who'd had specialist keyboard tuition.

Do you listen beyond the rock and folk etc that all our age like. And very good it is too. My daddy was really into Wagner and Schubert. I'm too delicate a flower for Wagner, but I do like Debussy. Now isn't that weird, I think Wagner's too manly, but I like the Ace of Spades.

He's 21 and lives in my town with his girlfriend. They're off to France for a month or so. Sorry about last night's message. I was a little bit drunk and feeling sorry for myself. My children are going out into the world and they don't need me any more. It's the way it should be

Hi Bill, Feellng lonely. Actually, don't know what to add. Say something nice to me so I can sleep

Hi Shafted, Is it just me getting the driver error page or is it the same for everyone and I just need to be patient. Sorry, I wasn't certain if my PM got sent

Hi there. You've really drawn the short straw tonight. I would have looked for someone else, but you're the one online. I'm right out of sorts. A young lad got stabbed to death just around the corner from me tonight. The police wouldn't let me walk up the street. Turns out he was one of my ex-pupils, just 17 :''( And the one they've arrested is another ex-pupil. Silly, silly boys. Don't they ever think? Two broken hearted mothers. I must go and see them. Sorry, just had to tell someone :''(

Hi Tigerblue, and wlecome, Bit slow to answer because, I must admit that I feel, however unreasonably, a little doubtful of chaps' motives. But I know exactly how you feel discovering you aren't the only one. I'd thought I was for more than thirty years. Doesn't it feel good to learn you're not alone? Hope you enjoy the site. Megan

I agree. But he did blow a heavenly sax

I can't work out how to make it private. Doesn't matter. Hope it's not inappropriate, but just had a lovely night with my son and he's just had to go home. I wanted to say something to someone, and you're the one with the little green head and shoulders. Not going to see him again for about a month, and felling a bit tearful and lonely Please don't feel you need to reply or give any thought here. Not your problem . Like I say, you're the unlucky one who'son-line

I don't think I've ever felt quite so all-pervading. Thank you.

I like it when the planets or the moon do something special as I can see it clearly and it means I can pretend I know about astronomy. My daddy used to walk me home from Brownies (girl scouts) when I was little and he used to tell me about the stars and point them out to me, so I used to know the winter sky fairly well. It was always exciting as a child to be out after dark. I've forgotten most of it now, can recognise Orion and the Plough (I believe you call it the Big Dipper.) The sky's too light these days to be able to see much more. Or maybe my eyes aren't what they used to be.

I suppose Southerners with pretensions of grandeur like to be known as hillwilliams lol. I've been to a few of those places: Lousiana, Texas, Kentucky, Tennesee, Arizona. I gave Alabama a miss. My boyfriend and I were both a bit hippy/goth lookingat the time and didn't think it would be wise on advice we were given. So I only know it form To Kill a Mockingbird. What a rip of. I read it, and never once did they explain how to kill one lol.

I supppose what's different for us is that we never had to pass a grade to move on through the school. I imagine the threat of having to repeat a grade must be quite alarming. Lots of pubs here hold quiz nights, where teams can compete for a small prize answering general knowledge questions. That must sound most odd to you. Perhaps we are odd. I was wrong, by the way, about the words of the song being pop quiz. It's 'charades, pop skill, water hyacinth, named by a poet...' so we're none the wiser. I only guess they're games because I know what charades is.

I think I'd rather be a cat, but they can't stand to get their toes wet, so maybe not. I know, a cat in a paddling pool. That could go in one of those pictures.

I think it would go some way towards making early morning decisions easier. The advanced version could involve wardrobe and shoe closet springs, to do the whole outfit, but I feel this might need more than mere engineering ability to prevent some disastrous fashion faux pas. Are there any schools running courses in fashion and engineering? Maybe this is the way of the future.
