Mmmm...banana cream.

70

...and I've got some serious backlog to get through

Back from dental and eye appointments for the small person. She has a cavity, but the dentist figures she's due to lose the tooth in a month or less, so thinks there's no real point in filling it (finally, an honest dentist!!!)

On the other hand, the eyes aren't so great. She's pretty severely nearsighted (no wonder she sits so close to the TV if I let her!), so we had to pick out glasses.

81. But now I'll have to go back and watch the address bar.

Just got back from teh first night of league. It was awful...

Well, I have the ooportunity to stay at work another month, but I declined. I am too clsoe to escaping to add 200% more time in captivity. I have but a fortnight to survive.

Can't say I blame you for declining such a wonderful offer.

86 but my wife got a 93, guess she had better pay into that life insurance for me.

aw, marv...but it's such a great place....






not.

180 posts in 2 days? I am not even going to attempt the backlog - if I get hung up on the backlog on this thread, I won't be able to post here ever again.

Boots and Caer presumably told you that we had a great night out. It really was fun, and lovely to put faces to user-names at last.

I have spent this week being my PL's Driver; I think I have done the best part of 2000 miles in the last 2 weeks, and to be honest I am shattered. Those of you who have never driven on English roads (and I specifically exclude Scottish and Welsh ones) won't appreciate the full horror. I must look up the stats on cars-per-mile, but Southern England has got to be one of the most congested places on the planet.

Oh - Update on - Archer and Aitken's brother. R finally managed to get in touch with his owner, who is full of apologies and says she is feeding him properly. Being able to give weights and measurements for *two* of his litter-mates must have helped a lot. She "hadn't realised that he needed so much food...." (Despite the fact it said so clearly and simply in R's instructions ).

I will probably have to go down to Hampshire and then to Heathrow this afternoon/evening - I will need to leave work at about 13.00 and won't be back home till about 19.00. I am actually going to ask my PL to take a taxi: it is about £60 but at the moment the thought of 6 hours spent on the M4, the M3, the M25 and the M40 is not my view of catching up with some rest after a really strenuous two weeks.

Oh - and apparently I will live to 83.

How much is a pony anyway? I loved 'Minder' and all the betting jargon Arthur used, not that I ever understood any of it!

Looks like another day of rain, but we do need it, there will be more over the weekend.

Marv, you might as well make the break now as later. Any new developments yet on the cooking front?

Hey, everyone !

FG, you may be right about the Mesopatmian temple whore. But understand, it was accepted in many societies at that time that every young woman should prostitute herself before she was eligible for marriage.

MR, exactly how bad is the small person's eyesight ? I got glasses when I was 7, and it turned out I couyld'nt see the chalk board. How wonderful it would be to open my eyes in the morning and be able to see clearly !

Incidentally, I still blame Madonna. She didn't just make dressing sexy chic, she made it chic to literally dress like a prostitute ! And many of these girls were only 12 or 13 years old. Britney and Aguillera are only following in her footsteps for a new generation.

Can't take the age test. Probably should be dead already !

Bryce, you're my age...chicken!!

Her eyesight is, well, piss poor in her right eye. Her left eye is only slightly nearsighted, but her right eye is apparently quite bad...the numbers were (and I could be wrong) 20/40 in her left eye, and 20/100 in her right. So that's why the optometrist gave her glasses. It might help, she said, with depth perception, and doing things like riding a bike, etc.

85 what happens when we get to 1000
boots (new at this)

Did I say something wrong? It's very quiet in the Salon. On the eye front, until I started to use a computer I had 20/20 vision. In less than five years I became blind Pugh. Tried contacts but they are not user friendly
take care
boots

What an excellent night...

I went to a club with some friends. It is a goth club and it was fetish night, meaning that the goth kids dress even more outragous than normal.

When I was there I was greeted by a very good freind who is in teh Army. He got home on leave today, and I did not expect to see him in a dance club after an 18 hour flight to SLC from Korea.

We then went to an all night diner and ate and talked. I cannot express how thrilled I was to see X tonight.
