    Glad every1 is in high spirits. Not been posting on ere as I've relaxing for the past 8 days basking in 110f heat in turkey. Although am nice and brown, I'm starting to peel already.(bad beat I guess lol). Anyways although I,m on holiday I'm thinking of big noise so though I'd post a thread just to say well done and don't let the simple things get you down. Have fun at thetables Nigel xx

    Just taken time to read through this thread. I am often dubious about reading the threads on here with a couple of hundred posts can i be bothered to scan through all that to get to the point. This time it was a case of once you read the 1st post you can't stop! Its overwelming how strong some of the community are on here in regards to their attitude to life considering the cards life has dealt them. I honestly don't think i would cope half aswell as many here. I have a habit of running away/ignoring the comparitably small problems i have had in my life and am in awe of many of you. Thank you for the jolt this thread has given me to put things in perspective, and to see many so many people offering their 2 pence and support is amazing.

    I would also like to add i think quickfeet possibly has THE best name on the site

    Hi all.Still good to see posts coming in praising other folk for tellin their stories.Had to take my own advice tonight regardin the bad beats.Lost so many hypers tonight on the river when ahead it was teeth gnashin time lol.The saving grace was havin Italy in the work sweepstake :)).Seriously though we are back now to multiple sessions re the weemans speech therapy and the progress in the last few weeks has been immense.This has been a source of big smiles in the household and the idea of losin a few notes tonight didnt seem so bad after all :).Hope this is still a source of interest to you all out there and hers to runnin better over the weekend.
    Be good

    Glad to hear it! Yes, this is still a great source of interest to me at least, it's always good to hear how families in a similar situation are getting on.  Is he enjoying the speech therapy? That's my wee man finished nursery now, we're going to enjoy the break before starting special school in aug.....really looking forward to our next big step!

    WELL SAID DAVE


    What a person believes is a "Light Hearted" comment can sometimes make another person feel terrible. Words are terrible things if not used correctly. The dangerous people are the ones who use those words with the intention to harm, belittle, upset or humiliate others. They generally use the fall-back of "I was joking" or "I never meant it that way". I am sure many people who have commented in this thread have come across such vile individuals.

    Its having good people, like those in this group around you that helps to outweigh the negativity from the minority.

    Its nice to see this thread back on Page 1 where it belongs.....

    OUTSTANDIN M8:))))))))))).
    Plus weeman has progressed onto slight verbalising with the speech therapist rather than his parents lol.She truly is a miracle worker.He has come outta his shell so much in the last month its ridiculous.So good to see.
    God bless the NHS ;)
    Cheers

    Folks.Just a wee update on the weeman and things in general.like my previous post said the speech therapy has come on leaps and bounds which is pleasing to say the least!!Have also read the curious incident as recommended by a few of the community.Very good read.Would recommend it to anyone looking to understand indifference.From a poker point of view,need to get back to the grind as I've took quite a hit recently.Have took inspiratiion  from devonfish's thread as he has built up from a small stack and is goin good.Hope the reports on the weeman continue to be of a good vibe and hope you all continue to enjoy the updates.
    Cheers and thx for reading

    Mornin folks.No real changes of note since my last post,just updating a few wee things that might be of interest.Weeman has decided that watchin the screen as I play poker is now the most excitin thing to happen since sweets were invented lol.More speech therapy ahead in the next few weeks,so hopin for more progress with  that.Also more progress needed at the table.Just cant seem to get it goin since I almost bust my br a few weeks back.Been treadin water for a while now tryin different games.Like playin the hypers but the variance is such a killer at that speed.Think tis gonna have to be dyms for a wee while to see where I,m  goin with this.But,tis not the end of the world either way.Just load up and start again.More positive updates to come hopefully.
    Cheers.
