    Thanks Jewels--I appreciate it. I've just had an unexpectedly rough couple of weeks--and I know you know how that is. I hope you all are doing better now too!

    Yours, Kiki

    what? you think i know everything? just kidding, no idea, but i can suggest you contact one of two people, do you know the admin, or any of the admins, if so, you might search for them directly or failing that, you can contact Amanda, she can fix almost anything. i will look up her and give you her page

    You continue to add to a terrific collection of books. This latest one I am not sure I will read; part of me wants to because of the new knowledge I might glean about the mind of an autistic child, the other part of me is lately afraid to read disturbing/macabre stories about the deaths of children. I teach young children, sometimes children with ASD, and I think maybe I would be kept awake at night afterwards, with too much food for thought after reading such a book. Then again, maybe I will give it a go.

    Thankyou for adding me. Your dog (I'm guessing it is yours) is very,very cute! Do keep in touch. :)

    actaully, if you check discussion history, we are running a little off the pace, but 74 today 464 this week 1700 for the month and 4600 in three months, but it does ebb and flow, when you started the trivia, it boomed, where we first did the coffee and tea and stuff they boomed, a new topic will push us up again, i find that when you post, you usually stir the pot!

    Nice story about the Docs. I'd say they've been pretty common in the states for close to 30 years. Always have been pricey...
