Clearly you are as no-one has replied to your thread

Boys2mam · 29/05/2009 22:07

I know, I am clearly grateful for your bump, but have you seen him [grin[???

I'm with you Boys2mam, I sat there watching it, and every time the ads came on I though " I don't want this to end"

DesperateHousewifeToo · 29/05/2009 22:35

I was a bit disappointed by it all to be honest.

Probably because I've not really watched it much recently.

catwalker · 29/05/2009 22:37

Oh yes - I'm devastated too. It's been around for so long and I just love it. Did you watch the programme with all the best bits before the last episode? I'd forgotten how many wonderful characters there were. I adored Romano - especially when they showed him being nice like when he signed to Reece (Benton's son). Thought bringing Mark Greene's daughter in was a lovely touch too. The only irritation was the infuriating Kem...Carter deserved to head off into the sunset with someone worthy on his arm. And I felt Dubenko was short changed - always thought he and Neela would get together. But I'm glad she ended up with Ray. Oh I could go on for hours!!

DesperateHousewifeToo · 29/05/2009 22:37

ps: Dr Brenner is loooovely though

dancingqueeen · 30/05/2009 00:08

oh yes I will miss Dr Brenner and ER dgenerally . could never quite understand why I loved it so much as am incredibly sqeamish and spent most of the time hiding behind cushion with hands over my ears....

moondog · 30/05/2009 00:09

Get a grip.
Get a life.

dancingqueeen · 30/05/2009 00:11

erm. I have a life. but ER was a rather pleasant hour long distraction from it...

moondog · 30/05/2009 00:11
Hmm
expatinscotland · 30/05/2009 00:13

Eh?

I stopped watching once Carter went all preachy, because he's not pretty enough to look at otherwise and I'm shallow like that.

And the moany Abby just got too much.

Did they all die?

God, I hope so! They were all so ernest and, by consequence, so boring, it wasn't true.

moondog · 30/05/2009 00:14

How ya doing' Expat?
Just been to your land of the free.
Arizona.

ipanemagirl · 30/05/2009 00:30

That's when I stopped watching Expat! Exactly then! I also got sick of Abby and her intolerable mother episodes, just dreadful.

ipanemagirl · 30/05/2009 00:33

But I did watch the last episode for old times sake and thought it was all a bit of a curdle really, with that pompous medical centre courtesy of Carter's millions and all those old hands staring meaningfully into middle distance.. and Dr Green's daughter, and Tina Turner having a very serious role in the hospital. It was disappointing. And George didn't come back neither.

expatinscotland · 30/05/2009 00:39

Good to 'see' you, moon!

Fliss01 · 30/05/2009 00:40

Having been fairly dedicated viewer to it, I also lost interest after Abbey became soo moany but have watched the last series for old times sake.
and then the buggers don't put the last episode on catch up TV so I have missed it. Grr
Although from what you all say i didn't miss very much.

Ineedmorechocolatenow · 30/05/2009 00:43

Thought it was a bit of an anti-climax, and I'm a big fan. Glad we got to see some familiar faces again, though I agree that I hate that bloody Kem character... urgh!

expatinscotland · 30/05/2009 00:46

I'm all right. 'Wee' man is nearly 29 inches and 27lbs. Whoa! He is 30 weeks old and gets everywhere by 'swimming', sort of a roll/crawl.

He twists and wants to feel stuff like DD1, who as you know is dyspraxic and verbally dyspraxic, so we'll all be keeping an eye out.

DD1 going to school.

Three huzzahs for the Scottish school system and her school.

The extra year did her the world of good, but of course, there are still her issues.

The SALT is very pleased with her vocab [preen], but as dyspraxic, she still has probls with sequencing and comprehension.

Actually, can I pick your brain? I know it's not such a concern now, but later, later.

SALT and all the team watching her like a hawk, because it would appear that, like her father, she is dyslexic, dysgraphic and has dyscalculia as well.

Her vocab is bigger than her comprehension.

She talks.

And I talk back!

I wonder if this is a good thing?

God, those long hands and fingers, those gangly limbs.

Whatever am I to do with her?

For the third time in as many months, a child modelling agency approached me in Glasgow about her.

My Papa was here. 'It's her eyes,' he said. Big, green and round. Blond streaks in her hair.

One of my best pals is through week after next so won't be round.

Then as you know I've got to find us a place to live as landlord will be home soon!

OH my!

HOpe you are well!

moondog · 30/05/2009 12:30

Sounds good Expat!
Pleased for you.

I'm a behaviourist so work from the theoretical point of teaching/therapy being ineffective if a child/adult has problems of the sort you mention, not that there is an unfixable problem/deficit within the individual.

It is something I talk about at length on the SN topic (and was the reason I was in Phoenix, at the annual behaviour analysis convention. 4000 people.)

Not sure if this help though.
