Shy, Ceejay, if you're looking for an easy fiber hit, why not try a tbsp of ground flax seed in a glass of water, morning and night. You'll be quite incredibly regular, if you get my drift...
In fact it might be a good idea to start at once a day if you're not a big fiber eater already.
Madcat, enjoy your time in NYC. Are you going to hunt out the outlet clothing stores and buy up a storm? Great bargains, especially right now with our mighty Canadian dollar.
Mel, it seems to me you have elections every few months - what is that about??? You probably told us ages ago and I somehow missed it or had a senior moment at the wrong time.
Sorry to hear the flu shot laid you and Jen low. I haven't had mine yet, but will be prepared for the worst.
Shad, you little energizer bunny you! Always
:runn ing: Good thing we're going Nowhere this month, you'd be even more tuckered out if we had to move!
Holly, that must be one heck of a nasty bug you've got! Maybe you need another trip to Ruth for some R&R to fix you up.
And speaking of Ruth, how's the dog search going? Are you planning on a puppy or an adult dog? We'll want to see photos once you've made a selection - an opportunity to get all squishy and sentimental about a new ball of fluff.
Happy, I confess I'm a little disappointed you're
not a constant house mover - I was hoping to get some insight into how people find the energy for it. If you do opt for the place you saw that your DH liked, does that mean no retirement move to RI?
Well, here it is
November, and tomorrow I'll be heading home from
Newfoundland and back to
Nowhere. It was freezing when we arrived on Tuesday, but has warmed up quite a bit since. It's actually quite pretty here in St John's, right on the Atlantic, all craggy and hilly. The houses in my part of town are reminiscent of San Fran, but narrower and brighter colours. I seem to remember reading that the houses are painted in such bright colours to counteract the long, dreary, windy winters. The hard part of it all is the getting up an hour and a half earlier than at home.
And, of course, staying up until the wee hours to watch favourite tv shows. I haven't eaten any cod tongues or scrunchions, and have stayed well away from screech and cod kissing ceremonies. As for what I
have eaten, let's just say that I really wish what I ate in Newf
stayed in Newf... instead of coming home nicely glued onto belly and thighs.
Good night all!
We got our last set of kids at 8:45pm so you might have still got nailed if you went home at 8pm. Bummer that you had to miss your program. Maybe you can get an update on the Internet.
Turns out he was from Australia. Didn't catch where. I was about to talk to him when one of his classmates came and sat with him. As time went on, he appeared to be quite a bit of a pompous bag of wind. And it's not like he was a young hottie either. I'd say he got into the computer field right after they stopped making them with vacumn tubes - you know, slightly before me 
I thought to myself - he's no Shad but then again, Shad's a Kiwi - therein lies the difference I guess...
