I found the PERFECT wake up CDs for all your lazy arse Skids esp the princesses who think putting a glass in the dishwasher is hard labour and the princes who think they OWN the TV and x-box and the couch and it is your job to keep the fridge stocked with snacks and drinks ... Check out the fitness and workout selection. They have a whole lotta Military cadences for purchase. Now imagine waking the 'troops' to these every morning. Sounds like a plan.. At 99c each they are quite worth it.

Today in Australia my Japanese DIL took their 2 children (G3.B1) and emptied their bank account of about $8K and disappeared. Has she gone to Japan? Who knows? For the first time in about 18 mths I have spoken to my son without interruption. He just wants to see his babies. And it seems his shy little Japanese wife hit him... often. And she nagged him. She timed him in the bathroom and then pounded on the door because he took more than 7 minutes. She would skype with her mother in Japan when she was in bed and my son was trying to sleep.

The spammers are back. I am not very website savvy but how do they find this little corner of the web-world where we just want to help each other off the ledge?

Dh has a bowling buddy who lost his wife 3.5 yrs ago to H1N1. It was terrible as she went downhill in the space of 2 days. One day she had the sniffles and a cough and the next day she was on life support. She died so suddenly. The sad thing was at the same time DH was in hospital himself recovering from a cardiac procedure then developed an infected salivary gland that nearly killed him. Seriously.
