    Hi all.Just a wee final word on this part of the weemans and my own journey.As I posted earlier the weeman had his final speech therapy for a while on Monday.Such a remarkable progress since 2 months or os back when I started this thread.Up to 21 words now!!Wanted to just bring this part of the thread to a close with the hope of reporting on future ups and down along the wqy.Its been a real eye opener the stories from others and well wishers on this site and all have been taken in great regard.Whe this 1st went out I had no idea what to expect but things have changed for the better somuch,me included!So thx all and I'd just like to leave you all with the inspiration behind this thread.The weeman.
    Cheers and be good 
    Paul

    Hi again!Sorry to keep adding to this at an alarming rate but some positive news today re the weemans autism situation.Got word earlier today that the 1st batch of tests are in the pipeline,possibly by the end of the year :)).Now I know that this is just a tiny step but any forward movement is good news atm.So, whether or not the final result is good or just not as good,I'm happy that we are goin in the right direction.
    Fingers crossed.
    Cheers 
    Paul.
    Ps.As previously my poker does not merit much mention atm lol.
    Be good all.

    glad things are going better mate.
    kids are nothing but trouble but wouldn't be without my 2 even though my hair is going grey at an alarming rate! And they are only 9 and 6! 1 of each
    got the grumpy teens to come. gulp!
    shouldn't have any problems with my daughter though - got the convent room booked and the shotgun ready just in case :))))
    you've got to enjoy every moment no matter how small as you never know. we had a scare a few weeks ago when a stomach ache turned into a very nasty appendictis and operation and almst 2 days without sleep. he's now driving us up the wall as he can't do any sports for another few weeks

    the weeman looks a cheeky handful, but I'd bet when he smiles at you you forget what you were going to tell hiim off about!

    good luck and run good

    Hi Paul

    Hitman makes a great point, the DTD on a Mon night is a great way to learn how to multi table.  3 tournaments for 5.50 is always good!!  I was rubbish at multi tabling and found myself getting bored easily, playing hands I wouldn't normally play etc etc  Once I got the hang of it I find I prefer playing 3 tables compared to one.  It holds your attention!! Would be great to see you there one week if you can make it.

    p.s. ur wee man is cutieee!!!!  Glad to hear all is going well :D

    hi Paul,
    glad u have got a nice cash....at last.  lol

    a tale for you....

    y/day,my brother Mark, his son Lewis(13,special needs)& myself watched the film 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' on Mark's 52" tv in his bedroom.
    we had cans of coke(the real thing) lol,peanuts & 2 boxes of Maltesers,so we could have been at the pictures.  lol
    anyway,really enjoyed the film from start to finish,reccomend it for everyone.won't spoil it but it had a nice ending,which i found nice.  lol
    Mark watched it lying on his bed & Lewis sat next to me in the 2 box chair things.
    we also had another very interested viewer....Lewis's pet toy monkey,who has been 'in the family' since Lewis was about 6/7 yrs old.
    i think he enjoyed it...but he doesn't say much..bless him.
    every time a 'nasty bit' came up Mark would shout out to Lewis "cover monkeys eyes up Lewis,he doesn't like it"
    which of course he did.
    so sweet really,and just a little reminder.. that there's more to life than poker.

    hope it made you smile,

    Stuff like that always brings a smile to my face m8.Totally agree that theres simpler pleasures than losin the rag over a game of cards.Although it is easier to take when youre winning lol.Weemans not at the stage where he can sit still for any length of time to watch tv with us but he is fascinated watchin me play poker for some reason.Maybe he likes to watch the sufferin of others :))
    Anyway,be good m8
    Cheers

    Hi again all.Another week has disappeared so fast.Jus tryin to keep things fresh here for those that are actually still interested lol.Good and not so good news this week.Deffo gettin the early autism tests done before crimbo.Good news all round on that score as the waitin around is fast becomin an unwelcome distraction in our house as the missus has now convinced herself that it will be the"worst"case scenario.Bit of a doom and gloom merchant lol.Like I've said umpteen times it'll be what it is and thats that.The fact the weemans been quite ill this week hasnt helped what with so many sleepless nights then goin to work grrr.The tiredness shall be my excuse for this weeks poor showing at the tables!!!Not so good atm but tbh for the first time since this thread started I havent been actually too disappointed at losin a few quid.Other matters have took precedence etc.I know I havent been able to play a dtd yet.Really because mondays n thursdays are the only days me n the missus get to ourselves in the week between 1 thing and another.However I think in 2 mondays time I'll have a free night so I'm lookin forward to tryin it out as I've heard nothin but good about it.Once weemans better though,dunno what excuse I'll use to pardon my bad play  ;))Thats it again folks for another wee while,just thought I'd share this weeks ups n downs with you and hope you continue to enjoy readin.
    Be good.
    Cheers.

    hi Paul,
    only natural for the wife to be thinking thr worst m8,
    just be there for her especially on them bad days.
    like you say what will be will be and you will cope with it,no matter what.
    let's all keep our fingers and toes crossed for the wee man.
    on the poker front it's hardly important in the grand scheme of things,is it.
    if u win it's nice for sure,if u lose it's only money.
    hope the wee man gets better soon.
    best wishes Paul.
    :)
