| If your gums bleed, you have mild gingivitis. Without brushing, you probably WILL get it between your 6month dentist visits. And it will never go away. I quickly brush before heading to bed, and then I brush in the shower in the morning ( Hey, if your gonna drool toothpaste, do it someplace where i... |

I hate the build up to any kind of holiday but have a wonderful Husband who takes a lot of the pressure off me. I love going abroad as well but find the airport terrifying.
My favourite holiday is Christmas by far.

| Unortunately CR I have, many times. My penchant for being blunt gets me into hot water too often for comfort, but I refuse to change who I am, and it's a well documented AS trait for telling the truth even where it may not be accepted or appreciated. I have learned one thing, if I am sure of my fact... |

For me it was Roald Dahl's 'Revolting Rhymes', my children too adore the book and it's well read now.
I also liked Enid Blyton and A. A. Milne, in fact I'm still a Winnie the Pooh fanatic - hey how would I put a Pooh Bear Avatar under my name? Can anyone help please?

| Sadly I lost my dog to Cancer one week after her thirteenth birthday back in May and miss her dreadfully every day. Our whole family used to refer to her as 'Bella baby' but often animals are another family member. I know my parents dog is like another child although he's far more spoilt than I seem... |

| Excellent question, I went to secretarial college so I am slightly different I think. On a manual typewriter my speed is 60 wpm, not checked on a keyboard lately. I also do shorthand so write fast and type it up after but then that's cheating :lol: My actual handwriting is very precise and if it has... |

| I've spent a great deal of time observing the threads about relationship problems. From personal experience my teens were hell, if I 'fell in love' it was all consuming and the poor recipient never knew what had hit him. That love would be intense for all of a week until they wanted to hug me or get... |

| I'm afraid Dizzy the problem is not with you or your AS but the lack of understanding amongst the teachers - all too often in many countries there is a failure to educate both staff and pupils about AS. If this were to happen the misconceptions and downright ignorance would start to be a thing of th... |
