And I freak out at the thought of having a 12 year old! I see that it might be a never ending thing here!

I’ve got one to share too:

Me: They’re speed and red light cameras. If you go too fast, they take your picture….. (explanation of licence plate identification, driving laws and what it means to be “fined”)

I’ve lost my moderator’s ‘report spam’ button — do I not need to worry about spam (yippee!) or has the button gone missing? Other moderators (or former mods) — have you got a ‘report spam’ button?

My profile picture loaded sideways (it was right side up in my phone’s camera roll)! I’m not sure how to rotate it so it’s the right way up :-P.

Kahawa101, I feel the same way. I have the opposite issue with my kids where they grow just too jolly fast sometimes to keep up! I have been forced to buy clothes for my daughter “from a shop” this season strictly because she has grown and I have had so little time up my sleeve to sit and sew that it just hasn’t been worth considering the…[Read more]
