Hello again,
        I've been removed from the list just recently due to problems in
my
email system. There might be a miniscule chance that someone might have
sent me something off the list so if you did in the last 2 weeks or so
it would be nice if you could resend it.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING
Less boring. hopefully.

Last term the school got a new librarian who is, if you don't mind me
using the word, a BITCH. Even the other librarians don't like her.
Sorry, just thoght I'd rant a bit.

WRITER'S BLOCK
You know how it is. You were coming up with all sorts of things you
could say during the day then you just can't remember them.
Oooh. I'll tell you about my hi fi. Well, I'm not that rich so it's not
shocking, but it's much better than the last one. 3cd changer a whopping
2 tapes (the old one didn't) and RDS an' all. Hurrah. I love it

I COULD TELL YOU WHAT I'M THINKING
(it never seems to work)
I'm going to resort to one of these more intelligent discussions:

The Narrow Wizard said what he felt:

I get this feeling. Sometimes I wish you could just show someone what is
in your head rather than put the extra strain on yourself to try and
work out how to say it. One thing you could try is to tell things in
stories. Just an idea, but I think it helps to make people see as much
of the picture as possible.

I also think that when you are listening to someone you should try and
help them communicate by trying to imagine what is in their head.

Oh dear. I'd better go.
