My dog is special, like Temple Grandin special. I’ve talked about him being brain damaged before. What I may have failed to mention is he likes small spaces and that’s where the Temple Grandin theory comes in. I understand the difference between autism and brain damage, before you get you knickers in a twist, moving on…………This is about my dog’s specialness. …
The Crazy Questions Post
Mama Pants over at The Family Pants tagged me in her post, she’s on a 20 or so questions kick. It’s fun she says, I’ll send you the questions she says, you’ll love it, she says. Yeah I’m calling bullshit but in the spirit of learning more about each other I’m gonna play…..My questions could be influenced by vodka, you’ve been …

Spell Check makes me Doubt my English Abilities
I’m a grown woman, educated in Australia in the 70’s- 80’s, an excellent speller and proud of it. English was always my best subject. I didn’t need to try too hard. I always got high marks even when I just threw something together the night before it was due, even though I had 2 weeks. It was how I wrote …

Making Space
When you buy appliances, you have to really commit to using them. I have so many gadgets and over the years I’ve used them a lot. When we left Australia I had to leave everything. There was no point bringing anything electrical because the power is different. While America runs on Dunkin’, I mean 110volts, which if you put a …

Edging toward Homeschool- Somebody please Stop me!
Homeschooling is the current buzz word. But it’s a scary word……It conjures up Laura Ingalls dress wearing, husband sharing, religious freak images….Doesn’t it? It’s for people on the fringe of society, those who think mainstream isn’t for them. And for the most part they are teased, the brunt of jokes and ostracised by society…….I’m guilty of it. No doubt. But …
