2:12 am
Marmar

...and not to stray too far from the food theme, Googled "zarzuela" images show some delish looking stews and compotes too...

I took flamenco lessons for a while...loved it!
2:13 am
dcseain

2:14 am

dcseain

Espíritu fantástico del que se dice que habita en algunas casas y que travesea, causando en ellas trastorno y estruendo. Aparece con figura de viejo o de niño en las narraciones tradicionales.

is the definition in Spanish. Basically, you had spirits within/about you that gave you fire, form, flexibility, and a degree of drama and angst to your performance. "You got soul" in Southern US vernacular.

2:27 am
Frances

So sorry your house didn't sell. I saw the pictures - it looked beautiful. Do you still have it on the market?
2:27 am
mrpresident

oh, I kicked them so hard! during the auction, they only brought people who had $50,000 less than we wanted
2:27 am
sprite

I love the vowels in your name, dc. They always bring a picture to me from you in the ocean :)

Frances

2:28 am
sprite

LOL rurur... no sorry, that was me sympathising with mrP.
2:28 am
mrpresident

and the best 'offer' we had was $530k.... I told them in no uncertain terms what they could do with that offer
2:28 am
rururocks

oh god I feel old now..
2:28 am
dcseain

hm. we coul all call him red, and see how long it takes him to figure it out. :D
2:28 am
sprite

can you kick the agency and get a better one?
2:29 am
mrpresident

so, after the auction, and after I told them to f*** off~!! they had open house for another 5 hours...
2:29 am
rururocks

that is a lot of money up the old you know what
2:29 am
mrpresident

now, we have an interested party from that open house, who is really really keen! it pays to stand up I believe
2:30 am
sprite

teasing luke is not allowed! *crossed arms and looks around sternly over rim of glasses*
2:30 am
mrpresident

I can't sprite, we have them signed on for 3 months, cause they 'convinced' us to go for 3 months
2:30 am
sprite

oh yes, it does, mrP! Don't go for anything outside your limits, be loyal to yourself.
2:30 am
joso

didn't mean to tease him, had no idea of his age, I'll be better
2:30 am
dcseain

is ur agent communicating fully with buyer agents i wonder.
2:30 am
mrpresident

the agent convinced us to sign onto an auction... that way we are bound by them, no matter what
2:31 am
mrpresident

joso!! when did you send the comics darling??
2:31 am
sprite

well, I know you... you will give them hell :D
They will either make sure they make amends, or let you go before the 3 months are over, just to be rescued from your razorsharp tongue!
2:32 am
mrpresident

dcs, I don't give a damn... they are bound to us and how much we want. if they don't accept our price (which is fully acceptable) we are going to go elsewhere

dcseain

yes, i support and affirm your POV, mrp. I'm qustioning the ethics of the agent.
2:33 am

I assume they 'earn' a nice fat commssion from the sale so surely it is in their interest to get the very best price.
2:33 am

2:34 am
sprite

owwww wonderful! They are sooo looking forward to hearing from your kids :D

dc, that is not cynical, that is common sense. This agency is not very ethical, if they use mrP.
2:34 am
rururocks

whatever money they can get
2:34 am
Frances

I so sympathise with you mrp. I do hope things get better and the house sells very soon.
2:34 am
mrpresident

one of the people who wanted to bid was in the house for 40 minutes before the auction was to start.... she left 2 minutes before auction... I was so angry with the agent for not screening the bidders better
2:34 am
rururocks

they better not mess with us mr. p we'll babble them until they are beaten to a pulp
2:35 am

shitty business, mrP, if you pardon my french. You deserve better.
2:36 am
Frances

On the plus side, it means you get to spend longer in your beautiful house.
2:36 am
mrpresident

the house will sell, and for what we want... this agent is just trying to screw with us. all agents in australia are considered lower than a cockroach I am afraid
2:36 am
mrpresident

shitty indeed sprite. what a frightful fight
2:37 am

In a matter of a moment
Lost till the end of time
It's the evening of another day
And the end of mine

Now the starlight which has found me
Lost for a million years
Tries to linger as it fills my eyes
Till it disappears

Could it be that somebody else is
Looking into my mind

Some other place
Somewhere
Some other time

Some other place
Somewhere
Some other time

Like a mirror held before me
Large as the sky is wide
And the image is reflected
Back to the other side

Could it be that somebody else is
Looking into my mind

Some other place
Somewhere
Some other time

Some other place

*Whoosh* (that's letting my breath out!!) That is the most spectacular news of the week, Eva! *Doing the Funky Chicken Dance*
8:49 am
Angelsong

when we signed the contract for this house, before it was even built, I aslked about building the doors wide enough to accomodate my wheelchair, and was told the builder would not do that, but we could have it done once we moved in. Now, I'm told that if we make any modifications to the interior of the house, we will void the structural warranty.
8:50 am

angel -- thats terrible!
8:51 am
Krista

sorry, Babble, I mean the other one...DOH - thanks Eva..too easy
8:51 am
Scarlet

Eva, when does he start? Is he ecstatic? I can tell that you are about out of your skin with happiness. Angel, that is awful... what are you going to do?
8:52 am
Angelsong

so I have to risk falling every time I go into the bathrooms. or I wear myself out several times per day.
8:53 am
Angelsong

so I'm going to contact Advocacy, incorporated, to see what they have to say. If I end up going to court, I'll be interested in hearing what the builder has to say to a judge.
8:53 am
EvaNadine

scarlet -- no details yet...they are going to call him again with all of that info. hopefully he will start ASAP. they did say they were impressed with his interview. :)
8:53 am
FMitch

Time for some carefully considered and worded letter writing I think Angel
8:53 am
Atalante

did you get what they said about the wheelchair after finishing in writing?
8:53 am
EvaNadine

angel -- good idea to contact them. hopefully the builder will stand by their word.
8:53 am

Merry Christmas and a VERY Happy New Year, Eva!! :-)
8:53 am

Did you get anything in writing from the builder?
8:54 am
EvaNadine

thanks scarlet!
thats exactly what i said too -- this is the best christmas gif ti could have gotten!
8:54 am
bbnaz

I see that Ata asked that question already
8:54 am
Angelsong

they did tell me I can build ramps for safe access to the outside, though. so I can get out unassisted if there is a fire and I'm home alone
8:54 am
bbnaz

but was it put in writing or in front of a third party?
8:54 am
Angelsong

yes, we made documentation of it.
8:55 am
EvaNadine

well, if its documented, thers not much they can do or say about it.
8:55 am
bbnaz

then you should not have a problem. you may even be entitled to punitive damages
8:55 am
Atalante

well then wouldnt it be the builders responsibility to sort it out?
8:56 am
bfsog

anyone have any of the al5,10's?
8:56 am
Angelsong

I would thnk it would be in the builder's best interests to sort it out. I do not want to deface the property. I'm trying to take excellent care of it and still be safe and have access.
8:56 am
bbnaz

woot now I have the two bottom rows greyed out
8:57 am

Hi Peri!
9:04 am

If you don't bake often, that's the problem, Ata. You need to get a feel for that kind of thing, I think.

I think so, Krista. I just don't feel when things look right
9:06 am
Krista

Ata will help you, bf. :)
9:07 am
Krista

I used to burn a lot of cakes!
9:07 am
Krista

It's probably more getting a feel for your oven. If they all were the same, you could follow a recipe to the letter.
9:07 am
periwinkle

why not Scarlet?
9:07 am
Atalante

I am cheered however by the fact that best friend can't cook cakes either. So whatever it looks like, it won't really matter as long as I decorate it prettily!
9:08 am
Krista

It will be made with love, regardless.
9:08 am
Atalante

I have oven from hell. It works at 200C whatever setting you put it on.or it seems like it does
9:08 am

It was an really awful time then, peri... somehow you survive even the worst moments and live, in spite of yourself.

Pringle -- you could have you r man hold the leash attached to the largest dog, and tie a broom or mop to the back of his wheelchair...sweeping and mopping done!

(not meant to be offensive, all in good humor)

Peri, my mom (born 1909) got a maid and we all thought that would save her trouble and make her happy ... but she had to clean the house before the maid came so as not to be embarrassed.
10:14 am
Scarlet

LOL, jwr.
10:15 am

I have tried a maid here too but the man in the chair just runs (hah!!) after her and then gets her to do his work like knocking nails in walls and fixing roofs etc - they do not last long here!

My beloved is a nest-maker... little piles of his readings, studies, newspapers... coffee cups... and a little stash of flatware wherever he is... just in case he needs it... I love him so... it doesn't matter, but I don't dare disturb the piles, lest I throw out the one thing he wanted to "save"... LOL

I think Americans may have more trouble than other cultures knowing how to relate to outside help in the home. I got over it after 3 years in the interior villages of South India... I'll take what help I can get. These days, I trade with a neighbor's son the use of washer & dryer for the heavy chores

2:33 pm

I feel so good knowing you and LoriP... she made me feel SO much better when I found out that I was not the only person in the world who washed the TV remote when I stripped the linens from the bed, and the gadget was caught up in them.
2:33 pm
Atalante

the storm was bad timing - she was just starting to make 5 lbs of fudge, but didn't get the chance to finish before the power poofed
2:33 pm
Uniquity

Well...they can eat a lot of not cooked fudge if power is out for long!
2:34 pm

2:34 pm

2:52 pm
Uniquity

I don't believe I put things in my nose...instead I nearly electrocuted myself. Twice.
2:53 pm
Scarlet

Nice. That trumps the jelly bean trick. May I ask how, Uni?
2:53 pm
LoriP

yah, tell her Uni..........
2:54 pm
Uniquity

I guess when I was between 2 and 4 I shoved Mum's wedding ring in an electric outlet...then when i was 7-9 I danced in a lightning storm with a pot on my head. Well, I tried too. Mum said no :(
2:54 pm
Scarlet

*Waiting* *expecting the TRUTH*
2:54 pm
LoriP

It's a true story by the way. Go ahead, tell her..... :)
2:55 pm

Lordy a - mercy... Uni... you were a handful... would you please tell me WHY the pot on the head?
2:55 pm
Uniquity

I didn't want to get wet
2:55 pm

2:56 pm
Atalante

oh Uni, I think we were rather alike as kids
2:56 pm
Uniquity

I like to look at the ring occasionally, I believe I deserve to have it as a trophy!
2:56 pm
LoriP

Naturally, being a spawn of mine, a big aluminum pot in a dying down thunderstorm is the first umbrella of choice.
2:57 pm
LoriP

Atlante! Hi. :-)
2:57 pm
Scarlet

Wowza! TR6/18 is first three letters to denote three + each play as SC***s in each act.

Hi Montreal...shouldn't complain about cold with a Canadian in the room, should I?
3:16 pm

"tossing towel towards scarlet"

3:16 pm
Uniquity

More than one Canadian...
3:16 pm
Krista

Yes, my daughter got up at 1:30 and was afraid the pines in the front yard were going to come down because they were almost horizontal in the wind.
3:16 pm
Scarlet

I t was our fault, stid... we were too close to the edge of the olympic pool...
3:16 pm

Montreal, are you sure you didn't just walk outside into the snow/hail/horrible weather and mistake it for her dive?
3:20 pm
Krista

Hee heee...that just came out..I like it, too (I may say so).
3:21 pm
stidmama

so atalante, was thinking over about the phone thing. Our wireless house phones came with a base unit that has a "tether" handset... we can always call out/revceive when the lines are intact.
3:21 pm
montreal13

no Uni... was wet brfore from a long shovelling session and had time to dry off... before Flask dove in...
3:21 pm
Uniquity

3:22 pm
Atalante

3:22 pm
stidmama

3:23 pm
Scarlet

Come back Luc!
3:23 pm
Scarlet

Ditto, Ata!
3:24 pm
stidmama

well, I need to figure out a way to back up the files on our "server" -- it's making funny sounds. back online later (if the wind stops and the creek don't rise -- which may or may bnot be tongue in cheek today)
3:24 pm
Atalante

good luck!
3:25 pm
Scarlet

Later stid. Good luck on that!

3:27 pm
10s Gu

3:28 pm
Krista

exactly, Scarlet..they actually have a "talking" Hallmark card with that shrimp clip in it from the movie
3:28 pm
Scarlet

That one I found.... after several tries, Gu... it was the simple 4/4 that drove me batty.
3:29 pm
Scarlet

The middle of the three, 4/4s at the end of the Li words...
3:29 pm
montreal13

3:29 pm
Scarlet

I never heard of that, Krista... very funny!\
3:30 pm
Scarlet

Luc... you are bringing me back into the fold of tea- drinking again... I enjoy it!~
3:31 pm
Atalante

3:31 pm
Uniquity

Hot chocolate is pretty high up too...and hot cider
3:31 pm
montreal13

3:31 pm
Atalante

3:31 pm
montreal13

3:37 pm
Uniquity

I have some yummy honey lemon stuff...and love peppermint, but never flavours enough so I add a mint to it :)
3:37 pm
Scarlet

TR 8 is a compound... catch your minks in the first word, and walk a straight **** for the second
3:37 pm
Atalante

I'm a complete tea snob - I buy a lot of my tea from www.emeyu.com but at the same time, there's nothing better than a mug of strong brewed whatever comes to hand
3:37 pm
Uniquity

tr8 - compound word of the preceding tr4 and li4
3:37 pm
Atalante

have you tried Lady Grey, scarlet?
3:38 pm
montreal13

an7 = opposed to + oxygen
3:38 pm
Scarlet

No, Ata... what makes it different?
3:38 pm
Uniquity

an7 - an***** missiles
3:38 pm
Atalante

3:40 pm
Scarlet

Is there more bergamot in it, Ata?
3:41 pm
Atalante

it does tend to have a bit more oomph I think
3:42 pm
Scarlet

Thank you. I am filing this tidbit away until a jaunt downtown to the shops!
3:42 pm
Atalante

if you like citrus taste, and youlike Earl Grey, you'll die of love

3:47 pm
Scarlet

Why, Krista?
3:47 pm
Atalante

oh no Krista!
3:48 pm
Scarlet

*arms in wide-open HUG stance*
3:49 pm
Krista

Ok, crying now..this is going to sound SO stupid...I got my first negative feedback as a seller on eBay after TEN years. I admitted I forgot to ship something, apologized, shipped it immediately, and REFUNDED the shipping. God, no room for being human, here.
3:49 pm
Scarlet

Dear...
3:49 pm
Scarlet

WAs the buyer nasty to you, Krista?
3:49 pm
Atalante

sweetheart! ignore them. you're wonderful
3:50 pm
Scarlet

Ditto Ata's support.
3:50 pm
Uniquity

Oh Krista...I don't know much about eBay, but I'm sure you can post your side of the story somehow? And it can't affect your rep. too much if you've been doing it for ten years
3:50 pm
Atalante

people are utterly unreasinable on ebay
3:50 pm
eieios

can i get a clue for the an 7?
3:50 pm
Uniquity

(Although I acknowledge the personal insult is more damagin)
3:51 pm
Scarlet

eieios... being violently opposed to oxygen?
3:51 pm
Krista

She just asked where the item was, and I said, you know, I could make up a bunch of excuses, but the truth is I forgot! They do let you give your side of the story after the feedback, so I did that. She is relatively new, but still. GEesh.
3:51 pm
momof5

an4/4 + oxygen
3:52 pm
Krista

Thanks, all...wiping snotty nose. I've got more important things to worry about, for sure, but that was a shock to my system.
3:52 pm
eieios

thx. just scrolled back and saw it. =)
3:52 pm
Uniquity

Krista, sounds like everywhere else...people expect immediate results that suit them and no-one else. Also, XMas season makes people...nuts :)
3:52 pm
Scarlet

You told the truth... that's a great deal more than most sellers offer today... Krista, {{{Hug}}}
3:52 pm
Atalante

I bet! Especially when you've done all you can to help her! Just ignore it. People will see your side of the story too
3:53 pm
eieios

Ebay scares me.
3:53 pm
Uniquity

Hey, I know the rush I get form being congratulates as a cluer on here! I'm sure being insulted on Ebay would be the antithesis!
3:53 pm
Scarlet

Perfect, Uni!
3:53 pm
eieios

i think you are brave to sell anything on it. i let my husband pursue that avenue. i just take everything to the Salvation Army or the Children's Home in our area
3:54 pm
Scarlet

I also give good clothing to the men's shelter and the rape crisis center... the clothing that the victims wear becomes evidence... so, they don't want to walk out of the hospital in scrubs...
3:54 pm
Krista

I have always enjoyed it. I met my husband on eBay! Ok, I'm alright now. Thanks - you guys are great.
3:54 pm
Uniquity

EBay intimidates me. I admire your use of it!
3:55 pm
Scarlet

*Giving Krista some of Ata's Lady Grey tea*
3:55 pm
Atalante

you did? really? tell all!
3:55 pm
Krista

never would have thought of that, Scarlet..(the rape clothing thing)..very nice
3:56 pm
Krista

What, about meeting Patrick, Ata?
3:56 pm
Atalante

yes! sounds wonderful!
3:56 pm
Atalante

and will remind you of the nice things about ebay!
3:57 pm
Scarlet

The poor men and women who are raped... are put in the hospital for clinical evaluation and laboratory testing... their underwear, clothing and even shoes sometimes, becomes the property of the forensic unit of the police department... very few, if any, people ever want those clothes back... horrid memories.
3:58 pm
Uniquity

Scarlet, that is an aspect I have never even thought of...I think after suffering through rape, the hospital, stress, emotions, etc I would not want to be leaving in a bare-bum johnny shirt
3:58 pm
Scarlet

Yes, dear... it is shattering for them.
3:59 pm
Scarlet

So, the rape crisis center takes good clothing, clean and in good shape... for those who are still so shocked by the events, that they don't even realize that the clothing is used...
4:00 pm
Krista

In 1997, my nephew gave me a very nice Ren and Stimpy t-shirt that was too small in the chest area. I put it on eBay, and sold it to a man in London. There was no PayPal back then, so I asked him to pay me in Teletubbies for my then 2-year old daughter. He did, and we struck up a friendship. My marriage was already on the rocks, and in the process of separation. Patrick moved in on me :). He visited me several times over the next two years. He moved here in 2000 and we got married! His parents moved here the year our son was born.
4:00 pm
Scarlet

Awwwww... Krista... what a love story!
4:01 pm
Atalante

oh WOW! so you married a Brit :D
4:01 pm

6:49 pm
Uniquity

That is helpful. If only you didn't have to read, write and study so much :( Actually, it's not all that bad. Just exhausting
6:49 pm
Cathyar

i hear ya....i took the afternoon off work cuz i put my back out shovelling...boss insists on a note...may as well be in school! lol oh well...got some muscle relaxers for the back and a referral to chiropractic treatments.
6:50 pm
Uniquity

Plus, you get paid to work, and I pay many 1000s to go to school
6:50 pm
Cathyar

brb
6:50 pm
Uniquity

I think a referal and a prescription ought to count
6:50 pm
hurshy

yeah, but.... enjoy it while you can, dear. it doesn't get better.
6:51 pm
Cathyar

true enuff uni...what are taking? hopefully you'll do something that'll help u make the big bucks so u can pay off the student loans quickly
6:52 pm
Uniquity

LOL. I have no idea...which is a problem. Looks like teaching, but that will create more loans first. It's a bad cycle.
6:52 pm
Cathyar

bk...had to get after my kiddo to get into bed
6:52 pm
Uniquity

Hope your back gets better though...back pain (from what i hear) is a killer
6:52 pm
hurshy

how far along in university are you? what year?
6:53 pm

yes...but its worth it...oooh...wish i'd gotten into teaching. summers off...spring break...etc. ;)

6:54 pm
hurshy

if you want my advice... pick something, anything, and pick it fast. don't pick teaching. something that makes a decent living. if you don't like it but you've been able to save up some money, you can switch to something else after awhile.
6:54 pm
PMS

yes Finished now
6:54 pm
Uniquity

Depends on the day Cathy...I love kids and work with them best, but love english and wuld like to motivate teens to read. I also adore babies, so daycare would be fantastic (have taken care of kids my whole life)
6:55 pm
hurshy

they tell you not to worry, take your time, figure out what you love, but it's all a big lie. time is the one thing you don't have enough of.
6:56 pm
Uniquity

My issue is, as hursh pointed out, everything i like doesn't pay. I am thinking about pecial needs teaching for children with mental and learning disorders
6:56 pm
hurshy

of course if there is something you do know you will love, then as long as it pays enough to get by, go for it.
6:56 pm
hurshy

my issue is, i don't like anything, so i might as well have just picked something and got on with it.
6:57 pm
Cathyar

opening a daycare makes a pretty decent living though uni...specially around here. where my son used to go for daycare, after the first 3 years the owner was able to purchase a new lot, build a new centre and run an afterschool program out of the new place...plus...daycares have gov't subsidies
6:57 pm
Uniquity

I would be best as a perpetual student. But since no-one has won the lotto, i have to be functional
6:58 pm
Cathyar

arrhhh...brb...dog wants out now
6:58 pm
Uniquity

Everyone tells me to stick to kids. I am great with kids, and I love them to bits. I just...I feel far too young to decide anything as "permanent" as a career right now
6:59 pm
hurshy

of course you feel that way. you are too young. but the reality of the world is, if you don't pick something soon, you could be screwed.
6:59 pm
hurshy

life sucks, then you die, might as well face it.
6:59 pm
Uniquity

Have you recently graduated Hursh?
7:00 pm
hurshy

no, 8 years ago
7:00 pm
Uniquity

It doesn't get betteR? :(
7:00 pm
hurshy

no.
7:01 pm
Uniquity

sucks.
7:01 pm
hurshy

at least, it could, but don't count on it. i mean, don't float along and expect it to get better. make decisions now that will make it better 10 years from now.
7:02 pm
Cathyar

lol hursh...aren't u the bright spot in the grid today! ;)
7:03 pm
hurshy

yeah that's me, little miss ray of sunshine...
7:03 pm
Uniquity

Lol. Can't rely on Canadian gov't tp support me...they just want their money back
7:04 pm
Cathyar

uni...if u pick something now...try it out for a little while, make some $$ and if u don't like what you're doing, re-educate yerself into another career/field or whatever. meantime, pray for a rich hubby! lol
7:05 pm
Uniquity

Rich hubby is top of the list Cath!
7:05 pm
hurshy

nobody gave me any practical advice or guidance... they just said, you can be anything you want. nobody gave me any help deciding what that might be. and so after spending my whole life being told, this is where you will go to school today, these are the classes you will take, i just went, "huh?"
7:05 pm
Cathyar

don't hold yer breath hunny!
7:05 pm
saphyre

can i please have a clue for the tr 8/45
7:05 pm

8:28 pm
rururocks

I have finally found it... I remembered it for the first time I hate tapeworms......ewwwww
8:29 pm
Jacula

EvaN - that's amazing! Not you being adopted but the likeness, unless they tried to 'match up' at the start. I guess that goes to prove that some of who we are and what we look like comes from who we spend our lives with.
8:29 pm
rururocks

ur 7 the first one I have the peeing one
8:30 pm

yknow how people say you look like your pets?
i think its the same thing with my parents...heh...
i dont think they tried to match us up, but i do have traits of both of them...
8:31 pm

It's a mineral found in volcanic rocks, ruru. Ur** (mountains) or ur + vowel + 'not heavy' spelled the dieter's way.

8:32 pm
Jacula

EvaN - I firmly believe that you learn many mannerisms, fashions and facial expressions from those around you. They also say that couples who have been together a long time get to look like each other. Some stuff is genetic... a lot more is learned.

Hi, Scrabbs. I saw here here earlier but don't know about now.
8:52 pm

last nite she mentioned that her power was out for several hours, have not heard from her today yet
8:55 pm
Scrabbler

TY for the info. The info on TV shows dreadful conditions.
8:55 pm
Jacula

BTW, Scrabbs, I see that just after I left when we were last on here together, you asked me to give Chandler a hug. That might be difficult since St. Francis is caring for him now. My remaining bunny is Flossie.

You'll have to fill me in at some point. Hope you are well--that the kids are well, and that you are working...
9:00 pm
Jacula

That's why my eyes are itching now, Scrabbs. Over the years I seem to have become allergic to either bunny or guinea pig hair. I think it's the soft bunny hair. My old Kira (fluffy cat) used to have some effect on me.
9:00 pm
Natasha

Thanks. The short story is that my uhaul, and everything I own, was stolen on the trip out here. I'm pulling stuff together, with the help of a lot of wonderful people.
9:01 pm

OMG, how positively dreadful, Natasha. I am SOOO sorry.
9:01 pm

Blimey, Nat! That's awful! I hope the b*st*rds that did that to you get their comeuppance eventually.

Oh, NO, Natasha! That is terrible!
9:02 pm

me too, Jac. It seems like a particularly nasty type of theft--the vast majority of what they took means nothing to anyone but me.
9:02 pm
Natasha

But, we're all safe and have a home and I'm looking for a job and that's what really counts.
9:02 pm

Can I send you some books? I can't think of what else I can send...

9:05 pm

the kids were upset, but thankfully they weren't with me at the time. Fortunately I'd sent most of their clothes and toys ahead with my ex, as I wasn't coming out here for a few months.

I was still working at my old job at the time and by the time I got back to Madison they'd collected a huge amount of things for me--pretty much furnished a new kitchen and I don't think I'll ever need to buy a sheet or towel again! My ex in-laws sent me 3,000 bucks, which REALLY helped.

dcs - it was more of a hoot when you consider all the PC Brigade here in UK who try to take the 'Christ' out of Christmas in caas it offends other religions.

We don't 'do' backlash... yet.. in UK, tyger... but it WILL come, if the brigade don't back off. And it won't just come from white Brits., it will come from all of us who want to keep our country peaceful.

down here, I think the emphasis is more on plaques of the 10 commandments than on Xmas stuff. I find that scary, and I'm a devout Christian
10:42 pm
dcseain

probably so, jac. It annoys me when atheistic/secularists feel that religious elements of society must be suppressed. And i say that as a non-Christian myself, who accepts that Xianity is the largest religious grouping by far in my society.
