[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 349065, member: 1991"] G'day, folks. It's actually Saturday morning here but I didn't get a chance to get on the site last night (which is early morning your time) so I'm grabbing the chance now. husband, difficult child 3 & I were out last night (Friday night) at the recording of a TV show called "Sleek Geeks". We're all fans of these two guys - one is a professor at uni, he's a Physics professor but also a qualified MD as well as a few other things. The other is a Maths PhD who is also a radio shock jock. Together they're a lot of fun. It was a good experience for difficult child 3 - he's never seen a TV show being made. Odd, since he's definitely been there (and central to a scene) for a movie being made. So he understood the need for re-takes. I think he was fascinated (watching the autocue) at how much these guys were actually ad-libbing. We grabbed some takeaway Chinese (well, we were right next to Sydney's Chinatown, not the suburban one I usually try to get to) and then took difficult child 3 to the Pizza Hut near easy child 2/difficult child 2's. We stopped at our daughter's flat to check out her laptop computer which appears to have been fried by a 'friend' spilling a glass of water on it during the night (they had come home from the pub after drinking to celebrate Paddy's Day) and the 'friend' didn't tell her at all - she found her unplugged laptop (so friend had enough presence of mind and awareness of what happened to at least do that) next morning, still sitting in a puddle. I had a talk to her about friends who have so little respect for her or her property, and how letting such friends sleep over because they missed the last train, may have to stop until they can afford household insurance. Generosity can be expensive, especially if you all drink too much. husband is going to see if he can save the computer, at least in part. Poor kid - she's struggling at the moment. But she has to recognise that sometimes it's her bad choices playing a part as well. We're about to head off for some very hard driving - husband has to take stuff to the train track, then we head inland to J's hospital to visit her and also my sister who lives over that way so we can have a family council. I can hear husband at the car now - I'd better go. Enjoy your Friday (which is probably half over by now!) Marg [/QUOTE]
