I seem to have spent the last week argueing the toss with trouble makers who insist on their right to use words even if they cause offence.
I can post and moan in here as this is my "home"
surely it is easy not to use words like midget, spaz, mong or even stupid if you are told they cause offence.
(sorry I soooooo needed to moan)

The aggressive posts may be coming from someone globetrotting their way round the fareast fio.......

Agree with you about energy better spent elsewhere....

fio not voluntary as the child in question would not have volunteered.
sad that these threads are always hi jacked by name changers and trolls.
i think they are interesting as I only really hear about words that infiltrate my "bubble" it is useful to learn about others.IMO

hmmm jimjams- ypu may have a point.... ds1 been really hard past few days and I just looked at the lunar cycle...

any many years ago when I worked with severely sn adults, and also when I was doing the Psych nurrsing segments, we had to double staff on full moons. Yet people still claim it's gobbledigook.

I've not heard schizo being used here though (this village is a bit of a bizarre bubble at times- how we got past the middle class border control i'll never know- but it may be that we found house on internet lol).

But I am sensitive atm, I have been helping DH to try and fill in application forms last few days and wondering why on earth it's ok to say he had time out to help me with spd etc, but not because he was severely (mentally) ill! Has been grating somewhat, esp. as entre point of job move would be to stave off another looming bout iyswim (swear its the night shifts that do it).

i know that the full moon affect epilepsy. one of the docs at dd's sn school even thought that. so it kind of must affect other brain attictvity.
forms are a bummer peachy. I hate the bit about driving. dh doesn't cos of the epilepsy. we know the moment you put that, bye bye job.

thatr must be hard for him in his job 2shoes- dad used to own half a building company (before I was born lol), he doesn't drive so when his partner deided to do a bnk, dad was left with no way of working and several thosand pounds tax that this bloke had claimed had been paid to find (which was their house deposit, they're still in council now)

well it means he can't travel far. but then I would prefer he works near to home as then If something happens with dd he is near by.

Yes I can see that, Bas developed a meningitis like rash at teh weekend 9fortuantely just bruising where he kicks himself!) and Dh was all the way down in Somerset- so I was double panicking!

horrid isn't it. once when dd was rushed to hospital. dh's boss had to drive him back home(can't remember where he was but it was miles away)
