Hmmm- my mother used to force my youngest sister to sit until she peed. And sometimes she'd literally be there for like 6 hours crying. And sometimes she'd be bribed with rewards of gummy bears.
Also- there was the "peepee squirt bottle". Just a regular sort of bottle with a squirt lid, filled with water that my mother would squirt over my sister down there and that almost always worked.
No one can resist the peepee squirt bottle. No one.
There might be some Ron/Snape at merrysmutmas, but I forget. I know there were some really good Ron/Draco fics there.
Have you ever read this one post-Hogwarts Snape/Ron where Ron has lost his memory, or something. I know I read that a while ago and really liked it. I think there was a motorcycle in it, or something. Sorry I don't remember the name or author, but I bet a google of Snape/Ron and recs would bring it up. :)
I would be happy to beta your L/Hr, but I don't think I would be any help whatsoever in the Brit-pick area, as I am among the most American of Americans, an Iowan. I know the basics: sneakers are trainers, sidewalks are... um... not sidewalks, sweaters are jumpers, but that's about all.
Hehe. I have always thought of Texans as being the most American of Americans. Iowans come pretty damn close though. I was just up there last month and we nearly ran over an Amish man riding his buggy at midnight.
Thanks for the offer! The chapter should be ready later today or tommorow. Can you open Word documents? Or should I use a different file format?
=P Be patient with her. Potty training is annoying and messy, but it's a process. There's not a time table for it either; she may learn slow or fast, or not be ready for it yet. It sounds like you're asking her every couple of hours if she needs to go, and taking her to the potty. =P It's just a matter of time if she gets it in there. You could also try rewards, like a star chart, and give her stars that add up to a reward (like a happy meal) when she gets it right.
I'm trying not to rush her along. She's only two and a half so it's not like she is way way behind or anything. Although she's supposed to start school in August so she needs to be potty broken by then.
As a childless single gal with a cat I can offer no help whatsoever with the potty training thing. But I can wish you luck.
I'd be happy to Beta for you and/or do a bit of Brit-picking. I'm from NY but have a ton (or tonne) of British and Irish friends and have been to the UK many times so I at least can maybe help with some of the slang and the tone if you will.
Hope you don't mind be just answering your LJ but I've become a fan. :)
Nope, I don't mind at all! I already had somene offer to beta but I do like the idea of having two of them. I will be finished with the chapter today or tommorow. Is a Word document okay?
