I sympathize! I know it's not really comparable, but when I have to give Chewie anything vaguely medicinal, one look in her big brown 'please don't make me' eyes and I lose all ability to do the right thing!

Wow splendid creature that chewie.

Awww bless her!

Get well soon, little one!

The wife, Haifen, is getting up to feed her her prune juice as a second course after breakfast tomorrow ; because of her cold she point blank refused it and I'm not an aggressive enough feeder.

We lost a couple of posts Haha! I apologised because I know you did suss them out. I made a mistake of pinpointing a particular poster.

From the pictures we've seen, Esther looks like a very happy, healthy and well cared for little girl.

Just what are you trying to imply?

Thank you ,Beth. We know exactly what he's suggesting- seems to have a fixation on that particular word. This is what she thinks- she does have a rash on her face at the moment; she's teething and has a cold; and no matter how short we cut her nails she will scratch herself. That was yesterday, but tonight them legs are going twenty to a dozen inside our modest dwelling which my Chinese wife paid for, and put half of it in my name. She didn't marry me for my money, that's for sure. I never went to China to look for a wife; I went to teach and also to travel.

I'm more worried about the welfare of what might not be an imaginary child...
