I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

At least we see the differences in the seasons, you guys only have two seasons. Dry and wet. What is there to enjoy?
Mike, we'll know when you get really excited because you'll start counting down in months, days and hours.

Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?

sorry to interupt but DOC? Taj has been super unwell... In hospital on a drip for ten hours yesterday... floppy and listless due to dehydration...Got him to a hospital straight away cause it only took the night of throwing up for him to start getting that sunken eyes look.
Tryed all the night to get fluids into him but he would throw up straight away...particularly nasty gastro bug going around... anything I can do to help the poor wee bugger? I have never seen him so sick.
Hes having 1 ML a min, hydrolite at the moment through a syringe, and ate a hydrolite iceblock...other than that cant eat anything...
They let him go home from Hospital cause they rehydrated him and hes perked up a bit, but Im scared that I wont be able to get him to drink anything more than the 1 ML a min.
Any hints?
TAJ "boat mummy." VALURA "yes sweetie you went on a boat, was daddy there with you?" TAJ "no, but monkey on boat" VALURA "well then sweetie, Daddy WAS there with you"

Doc, you're 30 now - let's revise the intro sample template and put that crucial question into bold and flashing like Las Vegas? Almost everybody fails to answer it
