Anyone?

I will start off with a link to my latest post, a part of the story of Beth (formerly known as Dora) who moved to Geneva to escape a relationship turned sour.

This is NOT me, by the way. I have drawn on my knowledge of Geneva but it is not an autobiograpy :)

Have password protected it and sent you a PM with the password, GO.

GO isn't taking fields and not compensating illegal? Isn't shooting on land with livestock also illegal? Your landowner sounds very very dodgy. Plus I think legally when one rents out property to tenants (to live in) the water supply should meet certain standards. I am fairly sure that there are at least guidelines on the condition of the water supply to livestock too.

GO, I am so sorry to read this -have commented on your blog. I understand the tension between wanting to raise a fuss but protecting yourselves but surely there must be something that MN collectively, with all its journalistic and political sway, could do?

Loving the idea of an Amish-style roof raiser!

Ok. GO has given me permission to publish, so here is my blog post

What we thought would be a routine follow-up appointment with the paediatrician this week has left us reeling...

BsDad, that must be so difficult.

Do you post on the SN board here? I saw you had a link to it on your blog. I don't post there myself, but I know that people say it is invaluable in providing support and advice.

MmeLindor. · 30/08/2011 15:52

BsDad
So sorry for what you and your family is going through. Take care of yourself, you are allowed not to be strong for a bit.

My husband's wise old granny used to go into the woods and scream her frustration and the trees and bushes. She lived through the war, saw her husband called up and sent to Russia near the end of the war, and didn't hear from him for over 7 years. He walked home from Russia. She had a lot to scream about, living close to the border of (the later) East Germany, 3 boys, little money or food.

Sometimes you just need to scream, she said.

Great post MmeLindor on otter's behalf.

MmeLindor. · 30/08/2011 16:19

Thanks, Cheria.

I am laughing so much at the "woof to you, lady" thread.

Oh is that still oging on? I'll have to hunt it out again. Wof. Ruff ruff ruff ruff. Grin

MmeLindor. · 30/08/2011 16:25

The controlled crying flounce one. It is very funny.

Cheria · 30/08/2011 16:29

Yes I had a look earlier and just went back for the rest. Woof. Tis hilarious. Brave of her to come back though and admit she was wrong.

Don't like the way the one complaining about Doghouse is going though.

Hi. new to blogging. My blog is here. It's about the day-to-day ups and downs of living with a deaf, speech and language delayed toddler.

Cheria · 31/08/2011 07:57

Wow - sounds tough - I've just had a look and your latest post is beautiful. xx

Here is my latest. Have decided not to rant for once and just admire the post-it wars going on in Paris this summer.

FlamingoBingo · 31/08/2011 09:22

Trying to work out what's really going on when kids behave badly.

Vera - your blog is fascinating!

Reality - my parents used to take me to steam fairs when I was younger! No idea why...maybe for my brothers?

Cheria - love those pics! Hadn't come across them before Smile

Cheria · 31/08/2011 09:30

Flamingo haven't anything to add to your post really as I am no expert on child behaviour, but gave you a little anecdote from my own childhood.

MmeLindor. · 31/08/2011 09:32

Vera
lovely blog. Your daughter sounds delightful.

Someone on my Twitter time line linked to those pics this morning. Fantastic.

They're great aren't they. Right on the front page of the guardian site but with no real comment on what it was all about. Huge fun. Damn I wished I still worked there I would have amused myself no end and upped the stakes by doing some rude ones
