   Oh dear, sounds like you may go under....with a smile on yer face :)

   Dads only keep there sanity and +'ve bank balances by foisting there   
   daughters off onto someone elses 'lucky' son :)   
      
   A teenage bipolar? That'll keep your energies and wallet running flat out :)   
      
   > Sorry, was that too much information?  :-)   
      
   Nope, I'm glad to catch up with you and to hear you're 'happy' again for   
   a while.   
   Have you completed your course(s)?   
   Are you in remunerative employment yet :)   
   How's your lad growing/keeping?   
      
   I'm still going and trying to cram everything in retirement that I can.   
   I have done so much in the past ten years, and yet there is so much more   
   to do whilst time is whizzing by at full pelt.
