Thanks for the info. Is teacher attrition a big problem in Finland? I've heard of peer mediation, but know next to nothing about it. Good to hear it's working; being on the receiving end of bullying is no fun. How are your students dealing with the shooting? Were counselors and psychologists brought in to your school, was it that close to the scene?

The good thing, if it can be called that, about your son's car accident is that he wasn't involved and hurt. I hope for both your sakes, the situation gets resolved soon. Your other son's injury sounds like it must have been pretty bad to have resulted in pins or is that normal these days? Let's pray the PT does its usual good.

Again thanks for posting and keep us updated on these things!

Now that's an idea

David was so surprised that I wasn't afraid of mice or creepy crawly things when we first met. Hey, I had two older brothers that used to put any moving thing down my back...kittens, snakes, toads, bugs...oy!

Funny, for me it was my sister who put stuff down my back. And pants too.

hmm. Let's see. I finally ended things with someone I'd been seeing off and on for a couple of years now.

So, to answer CM's question, no, I don't have a lady in my life now. And I'm not actively looking right now.

Something I'd been working on for work for a couple of weeks cleared away, which is good because it's freed me up to do another project which I think will turn out to be better, at least more interesting.

That's about all for now.

I use to post in this forum two years ago as MaggieRose aka Magnify aka GraceAlone aka TryMe.
Due to selling house and changing emails lost access to that account.
I returned as fwm aka fwmcathy aka catofhope. Real name Cathy.

I had participated in the Fab Forty Matchmaking thread from Jan 2006.
Randy aka bvwsmaker and I admitted to having crushes on each other.
We slowly started to get to know each other better.
Then I left online life to pack up my house and move.
But I returned last December. Randy and I had continued to email ocassionally.

January 23rd, 2007 Randy and I started courting, dating with the expectation of marriage.
It was a 900 mile long distance relationship starting out with just PMing.
Eventually we started having LONGGGGGGGG conversations.
He spent his two week vacation here with me in August.
He stayed an extra day to propose.

Tonight he is finishing packing up all his worldly belongings.
Tomorrow the Uhaul truck will be loaded for the journey here.
He will stay with my parents until the wedding.
They got along fine when he stayed there this summer.
Prayers for traveling mercies.

We are getting married Saturday, December 1st, 2007 at 1 PM.
We are both never married and very excited about starting our life together.
God really has prepared each of us for the other.

OK, Let's see... I'll hit a few highlights...

Marriage - yep. August 16th. My wife Nadine has a profile here as [name]PrayerLady[/name].

Grandkids - #4 arrived on November 16th. But she's new to the family, not to the world. Taylor is 10.

Moving - I live a couple hours away from you now buddy!

How's that for starters!
