[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 527907, member: 1991"] Sadly, Star, the wonkey honkey would not be appropriate. It's also not a term than it well known here, I can think of other possibly more locally appropriate, colourful labels. The spider you mention sounds like it could be either a mouse spider or a bird-eating spider. Both are huge. husband's uncle served in New Guinea during WWII and told stories of seeing a palm tree with two shadows; then one shadow would get up and walk away. We get mouse spiders here but I've never seen one. They're not rare, just good at staying out of people's way. My cancer - yes, two years on and so far I've got the all-clear. Our medical system is set up here to monitor things thoroughly, so we'll have plenty of early warning if there are any further problems. At this afternoon's meeting (writers group) I was talking to two other women who have also been through this. One is only six months into her journey, her skin is still recovering from the radiotherapy. Back on topic - I'm agreeing with those of you who feel I should drive easy child 2/difficult child 2 to the next session if I darn well want to. Frankly, even if I spend the two hours sitting in my armchair of a driver's seat listening to my iPod through the car radio, I will be well off because it will give me a much-needed rest. Or I can get some writing done in the car. Or, if easy child 2/difficult child 2 finally gets her prescription from the neurologist, I can drive to the pharmacy and get it filled. If they know ahead of time, they have it ready. We have four of these compounding pharmacies in Sydney that I know about. There are probably a few more. They have one department just for the compounded dex. The staff member in charge has my kids' files next to her computer (thanks to all this) and knows my voice on "sight". Yet we only met for the first time yesterday! I'm looking forward to Monday and the prospect of easy child 2/difficult child 2 finally getting her script. Fingers crossed! Marg [/QUOTE]
