Lots and lots of rest.....you will need to recall your entire childhood to keep him sleepy...preferably in a monotone.

Good morning. Ug, not a fan of snakes either, wino. Don't you live in a place just crawling with snakes that can kill you with a look? Are red-bellied snakes poisonous?

They would make you sick but not kill you....its worked out on amount of venom and how many mice can be killed, the worst one is the Taipan and thats up north.

Never mind the venom, I'd probably be dead of a heart attack if it came anywhere near me.

I have changed my internet provider to one that costs half the price and delivers twice the speed of the old one. Yeah, right. We'll see.

Mark: I did all that once only to be told one month later: Sorry your local telephone exchange does not have the internets capacity to support what you want to do. The wankers who convinced me to change telco providers were the ones who owned the exchange. I wish you well!

Well, it seems to be working at the moment. Bear in mind though that the connection is not via a normal physical phone line, it's via a sim card in a router (does that make sense?), so like making a mobile call.

Just changed (yesterday) from Movistar to an independent for phone and ADSL.
It should be a bit cheaper but mostly the problem was Movistar's support services. Misleading usage of the word "support".
Well it still works!

-dragonthingy: milktoast, is what my mom used to make for me. Make hot buttered toast with lots of butter. tear into pieces put in a bowl or mug. Sprinkle with sugar. Pour hot milk, or hot chocolate over. The hot milk makes the toast kinda melt into the milk, and the butter milk sugar make it taste like a drink. It´s supposed to be mosly liquid. Hope your lil Flameling feels up to being fireful again,) mmm semolina soup, already suggested
-I can´t believe I´m the only one loves snakes and bears here! ya´ll are weird!,) Did you know polarbears like to eat gooseberries?! (true. I did not make that up)
-annoyed my webcam keeps mirroring, regardless of if I click autoflip or not, the default to mirroring stays on. I could flip a photo at any time, but I am trying to do videos, reading Norwegian, showing the book, not helpful when backwards. fyfæan (local Norwegian curse word)

Double done, lefty!
How's the little dragon today? My mom used to give me milk toast when I was sick too. I think of it as the ultimate comfort food.
Where are the polar bears getting gooseberries, gnd?

the boy is fine. my husband informs me that he appears to have three times the energy of a normal four-year-old and hasn't stopped talking since 6:30, when he woke up. which is awesome, obvballs, although i don't think my husband is getting much work done. but the doctor told us not to take him to the two big parties we were slated for this weekend b/c he could still be contagious. which kind of sucks.
how are all y'all?

Wow, that was a quick recovery...great news! You may have to relate childhood memories over the phone to him from work to quiet him down. All is good here...just doing some garden planning, trip planning, and waiting for spring.

yeah. i imagine he'll be a little crankier this afternoon when he's more tired and maybe his temp will go up. but i'm really glad he seems to be getting better quick. may it continue.
he really hates his flu medicine but was convinced to drink it last night only by being promised that daddy would tell the mechanic (he was going to pick up the car) that C is a "campeon" if he did!
i must say your life sounds serene and lovely, mapes.

Thanks, dthingy. I'll have to admit that so far I'm really enjoying this stage of life, but I also have a real sense of having earned it. Bonus points for getting into the movies for $6.00 now. Senior power rocks!!

Yes, well thanks for that wino. I'm well aware of the looming expiration date. It's not how much time you have, it's how you use it.
