    Back from the dead

    Hi brother and sister Kilties,
    Sorry I've not been on for several months, but someone gave me the Chinese Curse - May you live in interesting times!

    Our youngest is going through assessment for autism, our eldest is just starting assessment for Aspergers, and things have been difficult with Imi over finances.

    But, I've just been awarded a sort of promotion at work with a nice little increment in pay so the wife is now happier and I've treated myself to a new knockabout kilt. Let the Jonesing begin!

    Indeed you have had rough times. Good to hear about the promotion, and it is understandable to have been gone awhile. Welcome back.

    Welcome back, and indeed your personal life has gotten interesting! I hesitate to say "sad" or "sorry" as they are your children and not chattel.

    Thanks guys.
    One of the constant good things in my life is this forum and the many friends I have here. Its always full of things to laugh at and there's always a great sense of bon hommie and community.
    Dunno why I stayed away so long.
