You can have our weather, Stitch. Although it's not raining at the moment, we've had so much precipitation of one kind or another this winter that I believe if it stopped raining now, the mud in our backyard might dry up sometime around 2017 or so.

Ginger Ale. Another bout of stomach something or other this weekend. Good thing it hit at 3 AM Sunday morning so I could simply chill and relax yesterday. At work but eating bland, boring stuff today. Nursing the tummy.

I just picked up my bicycle from the repair shop. New gear cables, adjusted brakes and by the feel of it they also put some more air into my tires.

I was lucky my father had ripped the gear cable off, it turns out. I wanted to go to the garden centre to stock up on ScentChips one and a half weeks ago. However, this week they are discounted 20%! Friday the weather looks nice so I've planned my trip for that day.

ScentChips is a brand of perfumed wax melts.

My sister and I discovered them when we were on vacation. Since then I bought an electrical warmer (you can also use one of those oil burners). You can mix and match, they advice to put three of four chips in at once. I love the berry scents, at the moment I have a mixture of Pie Crust, Apple and Cinnamon which is also delicious. My sister is a little bit more adventurous, when we were on vacation one of her mixtures made the apartment smell like a hairdresser's, it smelled like hair conditioner .

I've always been into scented candles, joss sticks/incense and scented oils. I just love how you can mix and match, unfortunately not all stores selling ScentChips have the extended collection, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the garden centre does (you can order online but only up to four different flavours in one package).

I thought that might be what is was, we have several different things like that here, they are almost always (I think) little round balls of waxy stuff

Well... depends. If you're Jim Bridger or Kit Carson, you might prefer the homey aroma of buffalo chips. Personally, I prefer Pringles.

Am I mistaken, or does Microsoft no longer support XP?

Watching "What Plants Talk About" on PBS which seeks to answer the question, "Do plants behave like animals?" I'm thinking it would be great if they used the old Zappa tune "Call Any Vegetable" for the theme song.

Quote:
♫ Call any vegetable,
And the chances are good,
Ah! That the vegetable will respond to you! ♪

Support ends on April 8 - so I've been doing a bunch of upgrades for 'mature' friends still clinging to XP. Once they get over the shock of change - most love Win7 now.

Thanks. I'd heard support was ending, but I thought it had already done so.

I never had Windows 7. Went straight from Vista to Windows 8. I think Win 7 was the only version I'd missed since Windows 3.1.

Don't you know that if you push in the belly button, your legs fall off? I thought everyone knew that!
