h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

One must always keep the priorities of life in the right order, eh?

Have you begun your work again? Or is that still some little time later?

oh well.. as long as Bob has toys and tools I'm entitled to have a few myself as well.

I mean cuddly teddy bears of course.

w*rk has slowly begun. I'll try to get myself into some sort of disciplined mode instead of hanging lazily in the backyard, thinking of

Oh dear, you aren't also addicted to plush and cute little critters and stuff, are you? I'm sure that they are all a part of an evil and nefarious plot. Convince the female of the various species that they are cute and cuddly, they buy loads of them (or guilt their males into giving them as gifts) and sooner or later ... The home is so full of them, that the people must move out.

I think it's a plot by the deranged grey squirrel that lives in one of my maple trees.

probably correct mind you, there's three of us collecting here.. although Son seems to lose interest a bit. if he decides that he doesn't want his collection anymore us girls will take care of it well.. the prize is a 1m20 tall cuddly bear. If Bob is out on a trip then he takes his place and yes, I do notice the difference.

That is one huge cuddly-bear. Will he eventually get his own room as well? THERE is a new project, that will cause Bob to need more tools ... adding a room to the den.

nooooo.. Bear doesn't need a room for himself. He can share my room, together with Bob, and sometimes he sits at the breakfast table (with a plate and a of course). He doesn't say a lot

What, a bear and no honey? Oh my, that goes against all tradition, doesn't it? (Oh bother )

ah.. you wouldn't know that of course.. he's on a diet! serious overweight!

Oh my, that must be such a hard-ship ... Hubby gone for days, and an over-weight fluffy-stuffy-bear taking over.

hubby weighs in at 120 kg

And I just weighed in on Friday at 165 pounds (75 Kg). Hmmmm ...

Mind, I am also only 5' 9" (about 172 cm) tall ...

As mammals go, that isn't too bad.

.. ah yes.. Bob is slightly taller .. and he would probably say you don't eat enough

Oh trust me, I certainly eat well enough. At my age, a bit about the tummy refuses to go away anymore. But so far as I know, for my height, I'm somewhere around the middle of the "normal" mass.

yes.. well, Bob never was skinny but he stopped daily training (now three times per week in the gym).. so there...

sometimes I wish Bob had a bit more normal weight

Ah yes, those times when the bath waters become exccessively over-flowing, I expect.

well, yes. imagine a whale plowing through a bathtub

Somehow, that's just not an image I need to be having at 3:30 in the morning.

... any time is fine ..

and ok, heavy, but not fat. I mean, the proportions are .. well, never mind.

If the resplendent measures and proportions suit all of the tasks and needs of the home, family and ... then no one else's opinion counts, eh?
