Secret
(Hey, Wiyaka, it's nice to see you back! Many have been wondering where you've been.)
Kyoto protocol on pollution
Hi Olga, LTNS! Hope you are feeling jollier!
vegetarians at Christmas
carnivores at the hari krishna cafe!
(Hi Clary! ... Yeah, sort of!)
Lamb with saffron robes or saffron rice?
'It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.'
Can you just see the young Katherine Hepburn saying that?
What a long life she lived...
Isn't it poignant when you see a picture of someone in their prime lined next to that same person in their dotage?
Definitely! Somehow, I think we all remember a person in their prime or at their best. Former President Reagan died the other day, and they keep showing pics from his life. It's kind of wild!
On a different subject, how are you?
I only found out about his death this morning; our good papers are concerned with D-day, and our bad ones with Big Brother. Who do you think did the best job as President last century? (It feels weird to say that, doesn't it?)
Thanks for asking, Dev. At the moment, and for the last age or so, I have been feeling edgy like never before; not due to my being busy, but due to a huge number of things that I can't place. It feels as if something that I don't know has ended in my life... but, I'm on here tonight, which is a relief. And, in a month's time, all the stresses of England will be over...
How about you?
Wow, best president last century? I'd have to think about that. I may be the wrong person to ask as I feel that anyone who would make a really good president wouldn't go near the job!
I'm sorry you feel edgy. Pardon my nosiness, but are there things going on in your life personally that add to your stress? A month's time? Is that when you go to Armenia?
Well, about me... I won't write a novel, but I have my times. I suffer from depression and anxiety which is pretty much kept in check with medication, but I'm also an insomniac! Right now my family seems to be passing a cold around (and around). Don't get me wrong - my life is full - 2 kids, 10 & 5. Most of my time is spent on the computer. My husband and I started a handyman business after he lost his job in the computer business. I gave up counseling (which isn't very lucrative anyway) to help out. I'm vice president, office manager, secretary, receptionist...! It keeps me busy. We've been at it for 3 years, and trying hard to be profitable! And it's the kids last day of school tomorrow! Sorry for the novel-ette!
Wow, dev, my word association would be "TIRED."

I suppose, Di- . It just seems like I used to do even more!!
exhausted!
