your daughter isn't...

You are so right, Jess! She and I went to Vancouver two summers ago, and had a wonderful time. May be time for another excursion . . .. . . ..

Natural habitats, filled with animals that come running/hopping/flying to see you the minute you get to their area!

Hey!! C'mon over here, Tareeeesuh! This is my place exactly! I get in the house, and animals come running. . . . barking, mewling, wagging and jumping.... . a couple of kids in the mix as well. . . . . .um, yeah... . . . .they tend to be yelling things....."She took my computer time!". ...."He keeps calling me FAT!". . .....

Yeah, it's actually somewhat different than yer dream. . . . .....

Psillies!!, I have to renew Alan's passport... in case we go abroad overseas in the summer or a day trip En France

It doesn't run out 'til November - but you have to have more than 6 months left on it to travel

Nik! I thought that now with y'all being within the EU, you don't need passports to travel throughout the member countries. . . . .....n'est-ce pas? I was certain that we were told this when we were over there, but maybe not.

[flourgirl]

Must mention- yesterday in the warm weather John and I took a stroll through the back yard to assess it's potential and all the work we need to do to it. I have decided I am going to have a garden this year- My first ever! I am going to grow tomatoes, cucumbers, and hopefully lettuce. I want some sunflowers by the porch and in the front of the house I am going to plant flowers. I am so excited!

Anyone have any good tips for me?

The first thing you should do (in my opinion) is to look at what type of soil you have. If you are very fortunate you have some sort of loamy soil...a good mix. We have red clay! Until we came here I'd never seen red clay, but I grew up with blue clay and know how to deal with it.....lot's of work. You will probably have to do some soil amendment...if you have a "professional" greenhouse/landscape business nearby, they could check the ph of your soil and make recommendations as to how to amend your soil. Sunflowers will grow just about anywhere, but some flowers are faily picky about soil type, and drainage. I'll be happy to help as much as I can if you have questions

DAMN!!!.... you mean I've lost hours of my life queueing at passport controls for NUFFINK?!?!

I should have pushed my way through the disgruntled crowds, shouting ... English darlings!!!!!!.....coming THROUGH!!!!!

But no, Unfortunately we DO need passports

Trial and error!!!.....and it's great fun!.....you learn as you go, but OH SO satisfying!!!

Hellloooo, Psillies!!!!

Quite an interesting day, today. I had to interpret for a talk on social health and development. You know....puberty...what happens to the girls' bodies....the boys' bodies...how babies are made.... Those signs I taught you came in handy.......those and a lot more!

Back later.......it's 55 degrees and hubby wants to go for a motorcycle ride.......I'm thinkin......... BRRRRRRR!

I just finished telling The Ripper about this.. . .. ...that Leeeeesar was signing for a talk on sex. He immediately yelled, "Gawd!! I didn't know they had a sign for 'bleccccccchhhh!'"

[Jestgar]

YESSSS!!! I can absolutely see Nik hurling across the Atlantic strapped into this. . ... .thing... . . . . .wild hair flying behind her.....

[DingoGirl]

<whisper> Hi Sillies--I'm at me sister's. Having a really nice time--details later. Just wanted to poop in and say hi cuz I missed ya'll

PADT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this was adorable - a quiet, whispering sneak-in to see her Sills

OK...count me in!!! We need to figger out a way for a group to travel together....tropical climes in the winter...we're allowed to do the northern climes in summer. Of course...working in all of these locales would make it difficult to decide on vacation spots! And of course...there has to be room for pets and families (notice I put the pets first?) All we need to do now is decided what we're doing and how to get paid for it! Several of us can write/photograph, somebody does lectures...hmmmmm what else?

lurve it, I'm in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh No TreeSuh!!! What have you done??!!!

PsooZeigh got a kitteh for her puppers and now she'll have to get a fawn for her kitteh . . . then she'll have to get a bunny for the fawn . . . Where in Sam Hill is she gonna keep all these animals???

:lol: oh, the wee fawn and kitteh - I CAN"T TAKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, will have to use the spare bedroom and, I guess, not park my car in the garage any more

<shudder> 24 hours wifout me computer

scary........very scary! That's why going to the cabin is so harrowing - no computer and no cell phone access!!!!

it's just SO MUCH FUN! but I'm a west-coaster with hardpan clay soil (absolutely murderous and one of the reasons I threw my back out so savagely) and can't help you much for plant selection there....but yeah, you need good soil!

but........um.........you kill cactus?? *snort* oh - sorry didn't meant to laugh *snackle*

DAMN!!!.... you mean I've lost hours of my life queueing at passport controls for NUFFINK?!?!

Well, duh! She's not messing up her bed.

[curlyfries]

"Gawd!! I didn't know they had a sign for 'bleccccccchhhh!'"

.....and that would be the 'puke' sign!

....speaking of which......

Well....I'm sittin hear with a tissue stuffed up my nose.......sore throat.......gaaah........I need a neti pot!.........sleeping tonite will be friggin fun

[flourgirl]

Alllll riiiiiiiiiittt!!!! Can see it now! How long do you estimate it would take her to get here? Depending on the weather, of course....aaaaannnndddd.....NO PASSPORT NEEDED!

Hey, when she gets here, we can take turns flying that thing! Looks like phun (but please....no one needs to pheel compelled to sing that awful song during phlights)

Ugh! More sickness going around! We've had enough of it here, thanks. Telehubby's had one infection after another...and now strep. (it's not a nice thing when the males get sick...sssshhhh!)

Nite everbody. Beautiphul day komin' tomorrer!

[curlyfries]

Anyone see the MathS poured out on the dating thread by Codetalker???? Sounds like some of our Psillies

[flourgirl]

I tend to skip over the dating threads.....as I don't feel I have any advice to give, and I don't relate. Maybe I should read them anyway...I feel an urge to check this one out!

Am typing veeerrry quietly, as someone is sleeping, and it's not me

[elye]

Good Morrrrrrnin', Peeps!

Tareeeeeesauh, I DO so hope you are sleeping right now.....up at 2:34 am?? Typing away?? Gads, 'twould not be a productive day fer me, I fear. ....... .hope you had a stretch of sleep. . . .. ...

SPEAKING OF THE BELOVED WORLD OF MATHS:

DD is starting trigonometry this semester. I briefly scanned her textbook that she had on the table.

Gaaaaahhhhhhhh.. . .. . . ...'Tis a nightmare of numbers, dancing demonically before me eyes. .. . ....

Hilarious.... . . . . ...while staring in a kind of horrific fascination at the text pages, I had a flashback to grade ten, a kind that one gets with post traumatic stress disorder... .... .. ....Remember the Indian chief, SOHCAHTOA?

[nikki-uk]

Mornin all! Niknik...I just tried that link and it worked fine. You gotta try again! Looks like great phun....and with a good tail wind I bet you'd make great time! It opens with the words Sky King. Probably because it's a Royal Mode of Transportation

So...Ehm....what it Suk-a-toe-ah? Never heard of it....and what does it have to do with trig? Inkwiring Minds Whant to Noe

Hope everyone is getting over their various and assorted bugs and pheelin on top o'the world today

Ummmm . . . No . . . thought I was starting another cold (seems like they've been nonstop since October) but today I'm running a fever . . . called in sick. I tried to get me own sub first and found out that there are (at least) three of us out today out of a total of 10 . . . ok, should I do a little mathS here and convert that into a fraction?? percentages?? . . . Not too hard. I can even do this one without a calculator and whilst running a fever.

I'm wearing a coat right now to stay warm. I'm going back to bed. Have a better day than me.

I have been having the colds non stop too and then they end up as sinus infections--I am hoping to have kicked it this time! So I know where you are coming from.
