podmog what is maximum dose for ds? We have been known to give ds 10 puffs an hour when he is really bad. That is what the hospital did when we were in once so that is what we do when he is really poorly. Hoping he much improved this evening.

We had a pulpit swap this morning for week of chirstian unity we had a cannon Rev Jeffry something and if his sermons are anything like it was this morning I'm glad I don't go to his church. He spent 10 - 15 mins telling us wht he did on sabatical and why he had not read the book of Romans since theology college in the 60's He then spent five minutes telling us what the book of Romans is about. I even had notebook at the ready thinking it was going to be a good sermon. Was not impressed at the 16 mile drive for that.

Wow Mary at being encouraged this morning - long may it continue.

Do i have been reading that little book it just soooo fits in with what I feel. I'm on the seven steps to overcoming depression now.

Am feeling a bit better but now feeling a bit of a fraud because now i'm telling myself that maybe i'm not that bad and maybe i'm imagining it.

CaptainDippy · 20/01/2008 20:54

With depression you have good days and bad days, so don't feel a fraud, nsfn - Just feel thankful that this is a good day! Praying they will come in abundance soon!

@ Cheshire Cat comment, podglet - weirdo!

Good to hear ds asleep podmog - hope you have a peaceful night!

CaptainCaveman · 20/01/2008 21:42

Praying that you continue to have many many good days nsfn and I meant what I said - if you would like a copy of the cd I have, you are most welcome to it. It's got a great relaxation half hour on it!!

Off to chew some indigestion remedies - I've got awful heartburn. Please pray that I can get my final assignment written in time for hand in day this coming friday.

CaptainDippy · 20/01/2008 22:31

Glad DS is asleep, Podmog - now go and get some yourself! xx

Oh yes - the heartburn - I remember it so well, hip flask of Gaviscon required, me thinks, CC.

Night all. xx

Good morning all. Flying by on my way to the hairdressers, for a much needed trim!

Praying that you will all know our heavenly Father especially close to you today.

ZipadiSuzy · 21/01/2008 10:00

Podmog - prayers for your ds

Right I can't stay on computer it says 'Browsing not safe: Auto-Protect off, anybody know what to do, (am computer illiterate)

CaptainDippy · 21/01/2008 10:11

Sooz - Press the little X in the corner!!? That's what I would do!

Hi NQGU = Everyone in DippyLand is in desperate need of a hair chop atm, argh!!

podglet · 21/01/2008 11:54

Sorry Sooz - can't help - am a techno phobe too - hope you get it fixed.

Podmog, so pleased DS on the mend and that DH had a good time.

Prayers needed for my DS please - have just had to pick him up from nursery again with a temp of 40 plus - have given him nurofen but the doctors can't see him til later - they have said to call 999 if it doesn't come down or gets higher he is cuddled up in fron of Cbeebies at the mo, looking very sorrg for himself - my poor baby don't know what is wrong with him, suspect the tonsilitis and chest infection haven't cleared up from last week

NorthernLurker · 21/01/2008 12:23

Praying podglet - poor little ds - it seems to be a bad week for the ds's - there's at least one poorly one on my post natal thread as well.

DutchOma · 21/01/2008 12:34

Make sure he is not in too warm an environment Podglet, sponging down with tepid water is a good way to bring a temp down without drugs.
Praying he will feel better soon.

Give thanks!!!

A friend from playgroup has just had her twins at lunchtime - a wee girl (6lb2) and a wee boy (6lb12oz) - gorgeous names too, but I won't post them in case she doesn't want me too.

She also has 2 boys just 2, and just 3 so she and her husband could do with some support and uplifting for the next while!

She's just started coming to our church too - that's one way to boost the Sunday school numbers!

Now I can go twin shopping

Roseylea · 21/01/2008 15:17

Podglet, praying for your boy. HOw is he now?

NSFN was it Jeffrey John who was your visiting speaker? If so he is from round these parts...Don't feel like a fraud. Just enjoy the happier times.

Prayer please...a group of girls in the school where I work have been playing with a oiuja board over the weekend and got freaked out so they came to find me today to ask if I could pray for them, which of course I did. Please pray that these young girls (11 y o) may know the safety and peace of the Holy Spirit and that I won't get into trouble for praying with them at work!

Roseylea · 21/01/2008 15:18

That's big for twins, eh, Bobsmum! Good for her! {slightly broody...sigh...}

bobsmum · 21/01/2008 15:20

She really was blooming when I saw her last week - don't know how she did it - got to well over 38 weeks too which is fab for twins!

Can't wait to see them - yum yum

bobsmum · 21/01/2008 15:23

RL - that's great that the girls knew they could come and find you for help/advice. One of the primary feeder schools for your school likes to have Tarot/Medium evenings for fundraisers IIRC, so it's pretty rife and commonplace in that area

PandaG · 21/01/2008 16:35

Rosey, echoing what BM said...great the girls could come ot you!

Having a quick 5 mins with a cup of tea before I make the tea! busy day and another meeting tonight...

how is DS POdglet?

DutchOma · 21/01/2008 17:09

Twins seem to be "in" at the moment. Give thanks to the Lord for He is good.
Swaliswan has posted on another thread so she must be ok.

MaryBS · 21/01/2008 17:55

Sooz, it sounds like your antivirus/firewall software isn't running. Have you tried rebooting (runs away shrieking hysterically as this is a classic IT reply to a problem, ANY problem... )

Podglet, praying for your DS.

You'll never guess what MY DS did... turned the hosepipe on the vicar . Fortunately he took it quite well, although he tried to get DS back by nipping the pipe and telling DS to look to see if the end of it was blocked. DS didn't fall for it though, clever boy!

NorthernLurker · 21/01/2008 18:54

thing is rebooting often works (my dh works in IT) Mary - love , love ,love your ds and his hosepipe trick!

MaryBS · 21/01/2008 19:28

I know, I did mean it as a sensible suggestion (I used to work in IT).

NorthernLurker · 21/01/2008 20:25

I know you did - I meant to back it up

no pun intended there!
