Bring it on! Bring it on! Bring it... oh, wait. I have too much to do now. Sorry, come back later. I have all this free time (thanks to job search and the generosity of hubby) and I can't seem to get the mental wheels moving. Well, the wheels are moving, it just that those wheels don't seem to be on the ground at the moment so nothing is happening. I n
I don't get it. Why is your project down the drain if your cow just ran away? Probably there is some really obvious 4H rule that I don't know about. I'm super curious though. Did he permanently wreck his manicure? You remind me of Tommy Lee Jones in The Fujitive. That cow made a break for freedom and you kept pursuing till ya caught the sucker! If your cow hadn't run away, how much longer would it have lived? Cause I'm thinking
interesting point, but from what I have observed (as imperfect as those observations may be) it is usually economically stronger countries sending help to countries that lack the infrastructure to deal with those catastrophes. Japan sends teams to countries who have suffered from earthquakes because they have a lot of experience and techniques to deal with it (also for research). Canada often helps with international aid. I only use these two countr
I am going home today. My plane leaves at 7:30 a.m. and I am still packing. I think that I am done. I always do. Then I realize that I am not. I just to have to pack some books ,I think, and my on-flight bag. Let me go check... Yeah, uh-huh. 25 minutes later I think I am really done now. But as I type, I realize that I can't find my flip-flops nor a
I'm getting sick and tired of paying for a service then later finding out that it wasn't exectued. I have to accept some responsibility here, as I should never just assume that anybody is going to actually do what they say they will and I should hound people until it is done and I have the proof in my hand. Problem is, I make the mistake of thinking that eve
I did some research, the software got some good reviews and it is within my budget. Sadly, Adobe Premier is astronomically WAY out of the budget. The freeware thing got to start looking like a rabbit-hole I couldn't get out of just to save some bucks. I find it hard to get computer help in Japan, so I decided to get what was likely most dependable. I looked
Spyware?! The deeper I get into this stuff the more complicated it gets. Good advice, though. Thank you
I don't have a mac. I used my freind's mac to do some stuff. I will try downloading virtualdub and see how it goes. thanks for the help!
I am thinking of downloading virtualdub 1.5.10 for video editing. I used that stupid pixilar program that came with my video camera (obviously it sucked!) and imovie on mac. Any advice? Am I only asking for heartache by downloading freeware?
All I can think about is that scene from "Finding Nemo" where the shark says, "Fish are friends, not food."
Good start for the month of August. I did some good rewrites on my book so I am pretty happy with that. The insomnia continues so I guess I'll get back to it before I go to sleep tonight. Saw the movie "Dodgeball." Silly story, but some parts of the humor were just so extreme that I couldn't help laughing. I loved their training regimen--dodging wrenche
While I am still a novice practitioner, I have never hurt my neck doing yoga before. In fact, I am usually really careful to listen to my body while doing yoga because I do it to help my body, not get hurt. I don't know what ouchy signal I missed this time, but my neck is killing me. I think that I won't be doing shoulder stands for long periods of time ( if ever a
My dog (my parents' dog actually) isn't looking too well these days. She seems to have no specific ailment, she just seems to lack her usual joie de vivre and energy. She is acting pretty sucky these days, too. Calling her to come usually means that she will stop as close to you as she can ending up on top of you is not a possibility. She's an affectionate dog, bu
There are a lot of ants in our back yard. They don't bite or anything. They are kind of cute in their little anty way since they are small and don't bite. Sometimes they crawl on me if I stand near the bar-b-q and because they are so small that I don't notice them. When I do, I try to shake them off, but there is always another one on my leg. Now I've kind of got
So I'm back home for the summer holidays. I went back to Tokyo last August. It doesn't seem like I've been gone that long, probably because I was back in February for my Grandfather's funeral. The jet lag wasn't too bad. I tried an oxygen treatment at Vancouver International. I'm still not sure if it was worth the twenty dollars or if I just got rooked. The jet
It seems that there are certain things that I should avoid saying. "Things are going great," seems to top the list at the moment. It is like inviting trouble to knock you down on your ass. I haven't decided yet if even thinking that phrase is anathema as well. I am also going to avoid any obersvations about people's happiness, because I don't want to muck things
Thanks, I will try tomorrow. Got to do some errands.
When I clicked onto this post, I thought I was going to read something about Alzheimers. I was shocked and sad for you. I hope your Dad finds some way to make this up for you.
Hmmm... I got laid off last week, does that count? Hopefully, it will be a sign of good changes to come but job searching SUCKS!
2 ounces? No wonder the little guy was tired. Poor immune system was in overdrive!
Let's see if I got it THIS time! http://www.ofoto.com/I.jsp?c=c5pmfzv5.2mjmiykx&x=0&y=ogeq58
Well, I started applying for jobs already, and I have already gotten my first PFO letter. Lovely! I really appreciate being laid off AFTER all the other schools have done their hiring.
Hope that you are ok. Getting bitten by a black widow is a common chidhood fear come true! At least it is one of mine. Glad you only had a smalle nibble and not had some great big chunk taken out of you a la "8 Legged Freaks!" Seriously, though. Take care.
Gracious, those are bitty things aren't they? I've never seen kittens that young. I wish the photo quality had been a little clearer because I'm dying of curiosity. Thanks for taking the pictures, though! Congrats, and glad the mom and kitties came through ok!
Is base life a strange place to be or what? I don't know how old your kids are, but my parents used to leave me along when I was a kid. A quick run to the store when I was 10 and by junior high the three of us (me and siblings) were getting ourselves to schools some days. Personally, I don't think an hour on thier own is a big deal if they are responsible kids. No way for pre-schoolers, and no kids should be left alone for a whole day, bu
