Thanks for welcome home & conference -- Shirl, Thu, Mar 07 2002, 14:34:31
Good to be back.....I see Adelaide has finally helped you sort out the time differences. You've got to remember that seeing as you are on the top of the world we are on the bottom and that makes walking on your hands very tricky,,!! Have you given any more thought to webcamming the conference?? I am sure that there are others out there who would love to see and hear what goes on....By the way...did you get the news article about a link between children that snore and ADD/ADHD

- I'm back..... -- Shirl, Mon, Mar 04 2002, 2:14:13
Just wanted to let you all know that I'm back in the land of the living.... Thanks for coming to visit Toasty, shame you arrived at the hospital when visitings hours were over, Ann told me all about your visit. Did you see any of our strange wildlife? (like Kangaroos and Koalas and platypi) They think that the platypus might have come from around your era...he is such a strange looking character.
Hope you are still keeping that unruly mob, in order, someone has to do it.
Bye for now,
Luv
Shirl

hello Adelaide -- Toasty, Sun, Feb 24 2002, 12:57:25
Sorry I didn't reply to your message earlier!
Andy and Chris went to see Andy's sister to collect Gemma a rescued Yorkshire Terrier. Gemma is very nice and I get on with her well.
While Andy and Chris were doing this I went to a dragon convention can't tell you where because this is a secret. However some of the stories that were told by other dragons make it very clear that we have to stay hidden for our safety. That really isn't fair! We can't help being different just because we have fire capability people seem to want to capture us and then lock us up. Andy and Chris aren't like this they let me come and go as I please. Did you know I flew over to see Shirley in Australia? That was hard work didn't realise Australia was so far away. Did you know Shirley has had to go into hospital?
But had some good times at this convention and I made some new dragon friends. I had to a some pack lunch for dinner at this convention and found a piece of chocolate chip cake on the table while I was sorting my lunch out ready to take. Did you send this cake it was very nice and I shared this with some other dragons and we managed not to melt the chocolate chips.
I am sorry that you lost your work, of AUTUMN TERM AT THE COLLEGIATE. Have you managed to re do that work?
As to what doctors do dragons see! Dragons rather not see doctors thank you! They prod us about and get all those students looking at us and it makes us feel like an animal in a zoo. Anyone would have thought they haven't seen a dragon before aren't these doctors stupid. Most children know all about us dragons so why do doctors look at us as if we were an alien?
Well before I finish I will tell you that Andy has to take Gemma to a vet because Gemma has a poorly eye and she only has one eye so we need to take good care of Gemma's eye for her. Andy as been taking some photos of Gemma so maybe they will be on site soon.

- Free Kids Software on Kellogg's Rice Krispies in UK -- Andy, Thu, Feb 07 2002, 12:27:44
hi everyone
We all know many kids with hidden impairments enjoy their computer games and maybe have positive benefits for them!
Kellogg's are providing free CD-ROM mini games with their Rice Krispies. On the 600g boxes this is included in box. I have no idea about other sizes or whether other sizes are made.
There are 5 CD ROMs to collect and some are games I can remember buying for Chris when he was little. However still can be fun for us adults too. They are fairly good quality and are probably well worth buying the box of Rice Krispies just to get CD! Designed for PC computers.
Even if these games are available on magazine cover discs the Rice Krispies may still be cheaper than magazine! Food for thought I guess! LOL
So if there are a kids visiting list forum before annoying mum or dad to purchase some Rice Krispies don't tell them I told you or they might get annoyed with me! LOL
Take care all, Andy

Another page -- Shirl, Sat, Feb 09 2002, 18:30:22
Why not add a page for people with other hidden illnesses, e.g. my probs, that can't get out and about much and when they do people just don't accept that you have health issues that limit them in "normal" paticipation in everyday goings on.

Hi andy, how are you going? I hope you didn't suffer any burns from the spilt coffee...have sent email. I have also suggested to Lea that you both think of putting this conference, in Aug., on webcam so that overseas people and people within UK that can't attend, can at least see and hear what is going on. Only a suggestion. Lea invited me over.......sorry .....too broke..especially now 16 yr. old is home - debts and all.
Luv

Union rep. -- Ima Nut, Fri, Feb 15 2002, 5:47:32
Toasty, please foreward a letter, forthwith, stating your official capacity at Hi2u, so that I can look up the official job specifications. It sounds to me like you are either a "man Friday" or "personal assistant" to this Andy chap. Do you get any perks or fringe benfits with the job?
Take care of yourself or Andy will be up the river without a paddle, or a canoe, for that matter.
Yours faithfully
Ima Nut

Hi, Andy and all other Ukites
Your weather has actually made the Aussie news (a rareity) and I was hoping that everyone is okay, no houses damaged etc. Andy, I know your fence blew down, any other damage. The news didn't say which part of UK had been worst hit.

- Bonjour mon ami! (Adelaide) -- Shirl, Tue, Feb 12 2002, 21:08:42
Bonjour mon ami, Adelaide, we are going to have to educate Toasty, and maybe Andy, hahahah, in the finer points of the English language. I think Andy may be able to handle things but as to Toasty's translation abilities, I'm not sure! (No offence Toasty! The English language is one of the hardest languages to master!)
I have read many of Adelaides messages since managing to master the forum.( I am more used to "chats" although I do not like rooms, I much prefer one on one chats.)
Adelaide, if you would like to "chat" contact Andy for the relevant details.

Hi Toasty -- Shirl, Mon, Feb 11 2002, 22:28:06
Hi, Toasty,
How's things, gosh that Andy bloke sure asks a lot of people , (and you), fancy leaving you to look after the computer while he goes and washes some clothes - just because they are wet and smelling of coffee. Did you have to do any First Aid, hope you've got your certificate, cos that coffee could have burnt Andy and he probably wouldn't even know it. You'd better give him my love and kiss it better, much more effective than First Aid and tell Chris that if he need somewhere to hide - for a few weeks, whilst Andy calms down, he can hop a plane and come on over. He'll have to go to school though - Wendy is.
Catch you agin, when THE BOSS isn't looking.

Hi Andy,
How are you going, really? Finally and totally recovered from that "bug"? I have taken over your forum - this will be the fourth message today, but I hope you enjoy at least two of them,if not 3. The 4th is a virus alert.
When we had it, a while back....Norton's tried to quarantine it but couldn't contain it. At least today Norton's has quarantined it, I'll have to go and check Norton's out when I've finished here.(See what it suggests I do about it!). I know what I'd like to do with the person that came up with it, I tell you.
Fancy giving chocolate orange to a dragon.....If it had not melted before being eaten, it could have made Toasty quite ill, now me, on the other hand........I am still waiting for mine.
Here's your coffee, now where is my choc orange - fairs fair!!!
I suppose I'd better close now and see what Nortons want me to do.....It has beeeeen one of those lo.o.o.n.n.ng.g.g. nights for me, I have an infection and consequently am not sleeping real well.
bye for now, luv, Shirl

hi Toasty here
Guess what Andy and Chris went out shopping today and they stopped off for something to eat! Chris (probably not thinking what he's doing) knocks a whole mug of coffee over! Couldn't of done a better job getting Andy soaked with coffee if he tried! He not coffee straight over his jacket and legs! They didn't get shopping done as Andy came back home in a steaming mood! Smelling of coffee!
So the washing machine is on and I have control over Andy's computer at the moment!

(I'm Toasty the dragon really I'm software on Andy's computer called DragonDictate however I prefer the name Toasty that Shirley found for me!

A FEW WEEKS AGO my puta became infected with a worm. It seems to be doing the rounds again.Last time one of my kids opened it, fortunately I was on when it resurfaced. It comes in an email titled:SNOW WHITE. delete it, immediately, without opening and empty your deleted items bin immediately. This IS NOT A HOAX. We had to completely re-install Windows last time.

Useful Software for Disabled People -- Andy, Sat, Jan 26 2002, 21:04:28
hi everyone
I am working on some information pages about software that can be beneficial for people with hidden impairments or disabled people. The information will mainly be presented on the "dyslexic pages" however links from other pages may also be made.
If you have any ideas for useful software like voice recognition software that can help disabled people I would appreciate you letting me know. If you are disabled and have a favourite piece of software and you would like to provide an article about this. That can be displayed on the "hi2u 4 people with hidden impairments" web site. That could be very valuable too.
So any useful info that could help me created good software pages for this site would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Andy

- Free For All Links "now working" -- Andy, Mon, Feb 04 2002, 20:49:07
The "Free For All Links" this web site used! Stopped working.
Therefore I've replaced this for a new service provided by Bravenet. If you have a web site that you think will interest people with hidden impairments also known as invisible disabilities please feel free to use this facility. However if links added are not family friendly sites or don't appear to have a useful connection for disabled people or their carers they may be deleted. Your site must be family friendly.
I am particularly interested to see sites that provide information that will help people with hidden impairments.

hi Anj
I'm having difficulties finding some messages on this forum now as they are getting spread out everywhere! When the new tag is next to them I'm OK but when the next day comes after first message lose all the new tags and I can't find some things!
What I wanted to say is I'm hoping to start page for "alternative treatments" and would appreciate any support here with info. Obviously I will be wanting to include something about your site with "hyper link" to your site. As on this as you have so much advice to offer other than "Ritalin"! Please let me know your thoughts here?
Many thanks, Andy
I'm a voice recognition software user there maybe mistakes.

- Newark group has disbanded as of tonight -- Andy, Thu, Jan 31 2002, 0:27:10
Tonight "the Newark and Sherwood ADD/ADHD support group" is no longer in existence! After the second meeting to discuss the future of this group as, the chair, Secretary and treasurer had decided to resign due to their own stretched resources. The Newark group finished and I understand although not confirmed the Lincoln AD/HD group maybe providing support for those in the Newark and Sherwood area.
Steve and Linda (chair and secretary) have been providing enormous amounts of voluntary work to ensure AD/HD issues are recognised in the Newark and Sherwood area. Newark and Sherwood area are certainly indebted to Steve and Linda 4 there commitment towards creating better awareness of AD/HD during the last six years or so.
Nottinghamshire is now without any of its own support groups for AD/HD! Both Mansfield and Nottingham City groups disappeared some time ago.
I know Linda worked very hard to keep the Newark and Sherwood group going! Without mentioning any of her own difficulties! Had their been more support and interest from its members maybe this group would still the running.
Linda told me that on a "personal note" she will continue to support people who phone her when she is able to do so.
Well all I can say is, Linda a "big thank you" from hi2u.

It's easy to use and I hope you find it useful. Please let me know what you think about this new forum.
Take care, Andy
