Good morning from me, and good morning from the Psammead.  |

Good morning, I had such a nice day yesterday with my friend and her daughter. They are going back home to Greece in a few days  I love this Greek friend. She is a sister I never had and our other halfs get alone well. I will feel empty space when they go back home. We even managed to talk after the child has fallen asleep. We both wanted to say so much to each other. We talked none stop for the rest of the time. We will keep in touch by mail. Still I feel sad. |

Good morning, especially to all those of you out there who were awakened at 6 a.m., for an in-depth discussion about Pokemon characters.  |

What is Pokemon?
I found on the net that it is some sort of a game. Is it so? It must be fun.

Pokemon is believed to be great fun by many I'm sure. However at 6 a.m., I have to admit to not being wonderfully impressed, especially when I was still trying to get him to sleep at 11 p.m., last night! Seriously though, it is the craze of the moment on the Nintendo DS. |

Yes, it is a challenge, Millie.
I remember rising up very early and trying to wake my grandmother.
She is so special to me.

I think you are doing well, Mrs. Jones. He is going to be well adjusted. He has a loving grandmother, a dog and a house to live in. It is better than to be in unstable situation.

My mother and father did not get alone. I used to be waken in the middle of the night with full blown fight going on
He left for good when I was about 8 or 9 years old and they divorced when I was 11.
I had the same experience. I used to be woken by violent, screaming, terrifying rows. She left eventually and I stayed with my father out of choice. We're friends now but it took a very long time. |

I would rather stay with my father, but I had no choice.
The judge would give the child to the mother in all 99.9% of cases and may be 100%.
Beside I was so terrified of her that I could not speak in court even if they would ask.
My grandmother was beside herself. She cried so much.
We lived in the same communal appartment with them (plus another family in another room).
She and grandfather saw it all.

Does your Greek friend remind you of a wood louse in some way? Is there some ancestral connection between the woodlouse and the trilobite? they always looked very similar to me. |

They are certainly both descended from a common ancestor not too far distant in time (relatively speaking) from their own appearance, but the closest living relation to the trilobite is the horseshoe crab:  Woodlice are crustaceans (one of the few species of crustaceans which live on land) but trilobites form a subphylum of their own within the arthropod phylum, while crustaceans, insects, arachnids, myriapods and the rest of the jointed-limbed creatures form another. Trilobites' bodies are always divided into three sections (though otherwise their shape and size vary enormously) and their eyes are unique in the animal kingdom, having crystalline lenses. Not many people know that. But certainly more people than know why the woodlouse was originally posted, which I estimate at either one or zero. |
