I started another blog. I'm going to stay here because I like the forum style and I would miss lots of blogs here. My friend showed me her blog and she can embed video into it and so I joined it. Link This is more for my family because I can upload images straight from the computer. So if any of

Thanks Miguna. Most of the blossoms have fallen off now except for a few type of trees which are late blooming by nature. But even they are losing their blossoms to the inevitable green leaves. So that feeling of wonder and sense of time fleeting has passed and everyday seems like business as usual. The weather wasn't as amazing as last year. Last year it was
You've probably done enough. If after having things pointed out to both sides, they don't get it, it is up to them to figure it out. Unless this is a work thing and you are the manager.
lol we might have.... but more important was the thought "I'm NOT gonna get it.... h/she can"
I was flushing some toilet paper down the toilet after blowing my nose and my husband was getting ready to floss his teeth. In a grand flourish he began to pull the floss out of the case and finished the movement by losing his grip on the case and we both watched the case of dental floss arc through the air and plop into the toilet already in mid-flush.
FS... you should get a rice cooker! Bad thing is that it takes up some counter space, but you put in the rice, add water, close it and push the button. Nothing easier! You can keep your rice in there for about two days. Maybe 3 but it isn't so tasty by then.
great read. thanks
Dharma, Henry is a babe! (and Dave isn't too bad either ) More Henry pics! More Henry pics! (sorry Dave) I LOVE daschunds! Better yet, get pics of him running!!!!!!!
Nice post Mason. I think it is a nice explanation about what the job is like/ Thanks for expanding my world view.
I have never tried to prove that theory. Thank you for all of us that are too timid to prove what we hear about. roflmao! Personally, I think that the barbeque briquettes are really pop-tart rejects.
cool stuff, SD! Is it actually a tanka? I'm not familiar with this haiku format. Then again, traditions can also be innovated!
STevededalus... working on it. Ofoto doesn't link well here. Some people could see them but most couldn't. I'm checking out other online photo posting sites. Had a wierd experience with one so I am going to talk to a computer guy first.
Thanks for the kind words, Trudy. SD, liked the poem. Did you write it? InBloom, thanks. Lots of people try to take portraits of this stuff. Some are really good. I think most miss the mark by looking purely festive (though still nice pics) and missing that contemplative element. I'll look for some links later for you.
Childcare is one of those catch 22 expenses it seems like. A parent needs to work to feed their children and afford for their care, but in order to do so, must generally get childcare which eats up a major part of the profits and so needing more work... I hope that you are able to find something that you like. BTW, I've been using flylady. thanks for putting up a blog about it. I can't say that I've revolutionized. The puttin
I've heard that Texas in springtime is amazing. I might be in Houston next May, but that will probably be too late in the year. My guess is that they have sakura there. It's such a big deal that it would be wierd to have a Japanese garden without them. But maybe they can't grow there. I have no idea. If you go, I hope you have a good time. BTW... how is the job search going?
I burnt my toast. I haven't seen it, but I can smell it. Smells very burnt. Why am I not rushing to the kitchen to save it? Hubby was in the same room and he took care of it... after I smelled it burning from another room. I should really watch my toast once I start it. But to me, watching toast is like watching a pot until it boils. Nothing happens for
This weekend the sakura ,cherry blossoms, were man kai... in full bloom. And they really were stunning. The blossom laden branches always kind of remind me a bit of pale pink octopus legs waving in the wind. From a distance, the blossoms have that same kind of texture. I am apparantly the only one who has ever made this connection though. So maybe I am jus
So here I am scanning some slides and blogging while I'm waiting for them to be done. Really, I should be doing some math. I guess I will start that at 9. I will probably enjoy it once I get into it. I also have to make a spreadsheet tonight. Not a big deal, but I will have to pull out hubby's old laptop since my home version of XP doesn't have excel. Wh
I wish I had my own personal case of crabs.
right click to open very nice!
Your new essential tool. The modern craftsman's essential tool.
bad joke time.... MM.... sorry. In my opinion, that is more than a bad joke.
I stopped using my fists long ago and started using the sides and palm of my hands, it did as much damage What the heck kinda life are you leading? . My boxing instructor was telling our class about people getting into fights an
I liked the female character in "Firefly" (forget her name... again that darn adult onset) but she was second in command. She was awesome. Warrior in the true sense. Not wearing a bikini in battle, but knowing how to use body armor and a gun as well as set ambushes. She was great looking as well. She also looked like she had the phsysical strength to kick someone's ass. I especially loved the episode when she told her husband that they wer
Hmmmm..... can we guess why this guy is getting a divorce? "If I can't get what I want, I'm gonna sue" seems like the kind of fella that would be hard to be married to. Okay, I don't know his actual situation, but honestly. Psuedo had it exactly right, "If you can't remarry, it's not time to date." Can we say "selfish?" Personally, I would PAY for a service that would screen out the married folks because if I were dating, I wouldn't want to
