We went on Thanksgiving Day. It was a ton of fun. One of my favorites of the year.

One suggestion -- on the "snail mail address" -- should "Australia" be added, in case someone tries to mail you from further abroad than you expect? The locals wouldn't bother to write it on the envelope; those further away would now know just how FAR away you are, for their caravan trip!

I loved the photo of the four bearded gents. It's in the middle of the set. Very interesting looking characters!

I'm currently at work right now. I'm taking a break by brousing the forums and internet before starting on the assignments. I'll be starting immediately after this though.

Thanks for looking.

hadn't thought of the overseas thingy. The website is really designed to slow down the number of phone calls asking about the road that waste so much time and prevent the actual customers from calling in. Most people that will use the site will not actually be customers(they may buy a little in the store), but rather they are people travelling in the area looking for information and assistance.

I spent so much time looking for historical photos because I found it fascinating. It seems that there was more activity in the area over 100 years ago than now.

my mother and sister still are not talking to me, and I am beginning to think that;s not such a bad thing after all. my daughter is getting over whatever her issues were, but she is in Pearl Harbour. my son is up and down in his position, but geographically in DC. *sigh*

I feel sad for you. I don't talk too much to my family either, but at least they would talk to me if anyone actually bothered to call.

And one of these days I will learn how to do this. The makeup, not photo editing. Okay, well, both.

What am I doing? I'm back to obsessing. Interview is tomorrow at 2:30. I'm slowly driving myself and anyone in my immediate vicinity insane.

Deep breaths! light scrape of eyeliner (gently smudged) so those under eye wrinkles/bags aren't so noticable. Lip liner essential with a soft swipe of lip coloured lipstick. Hair clean - everything clean - not too much jewelry.

A relaxed smile and off you go!

And no matter what happens, when you get back you will still be loved.
(bloke says that to me whenever I go for an interview)

You, and about 92% of women (and some men.) False eyelashes have become VERY popular here, but someone forgot to tell the women that they are supposed to be trimmed... 2 inch long eyelashes look neither real nor attractive. They inspire me to look for a butterfly net!

As soon as you sit down for the interview, just imagine yourself sitting there in a bunny rabbit costume instead of properly dressed. The image will be so preposterous that you will simply HAVE to laugh... And that will make you relaxed during the interview. In fact, the interviewer will probably ask you why you are laughing. Tell him/her. If she's laughing too, you will share a common bond making the interview even MORE successful!

I got a job once discussing the interviewer's underwear matching his tie.
Southpark or Simpsons?

He was very young about 28 and I was about 36 at the time.
We got on very well during that contract. Both being very silly, but we got a lot of good work done.

Not that I suggest this approach is always good!

Good Luck, Shel!!! I know you will do well. Be your sweet self.

**although, I do like Stitchawl's idea of the bunny rabbit costume.

Good luck!

I'm driving myself insane by wondering why one of my molars feels weird. It isn't clenching (I got that under control now), in the morning there isn't a problem but the later it gets the more it starts feeling weird. The tooth next to it has become sensitive to tapping and whilst brushing since last night. That's the tooth that's got a root canal 6 weeks ago so now I'm afraid that the dentist didn't get everything out, although I assume it would have acted up sooner. I'm hoping it's something simple like the filling of the RC tooth pressing against it's neighbour and making it feel weird (symptoms seems to fit somewhat) and not that I need another RC or an extraction.

On the plus side: I'm absolutely not nervous about the wisdom tooth extraction on Thursday. I'm much too busy fussing over the other two teeth and what the dentist might need to do about those.

Also: looking up symptoms on the internet is not a good idea.

poohbear_nc · 11-29-2011, 12:45 PM

A co-worker adopted a Labrador puppy the same week that we adopted Stella (the Plus-Size Kitten) - and we've been sharing parental stories ever since. And ideas for toys - since his dog shows many feline traits (chases the red dot, etc.) and Stella is a cat-dog (she fetches, likes to be thumped along her ribs, etc.). So he mentioned that Santa had brought this toy for his pup:
http://www.amazon.com/Kyjen-PP01056-...2584614&sr=8-1

I took one look at it and ordered one for Stella! She loves it!
I "salted" it with catnip and some of her toys - and she immediately jammed her head in after her toys!

Rumpelteazer · 11-29-2011, 12:52 PM

I just got back from the supermarket where I got food for my post-extraction diet: yoghurt, vla (custard), soup, pasta, knakworstjes (smaller and softer hotdog).

Today the dentist called for my father, he's getting his dentures the 12th, which will probably mean that I have to run the store with my mother for a couple of days.

Now I'm going to feed Lexie, who's doing her starving kitten act on the other side of the cat flap in my door.
