Where's Mike Boom with this year's FARTY awards? I'm about ready!

I'll be doing my top five meals of the year post soon. That usually livens up the board for months.

How about a group NY resolution to post at least twice a week?



I'm really looking forward to BWAP's top 5 meals.


And the Return of Mike Boom. Not that I have any top 5s at all.

I'm going to try taking fish oil tablets. They suggest three a day. Do I really need that much? I think not. I'm worried I will sprout gills.

I'm certainly guilty of being on the missing list.

Unfortunately my work colleague is on long term sick and I am covering a lot of his work which means less time for me on the board during working hours :(

I do get to lurk on the board every now and then but not necessarily post.

Today i'm treating myself to a bit of time here though as you need a little r and r!

Maybe I should major in Art History. Hm.

My tongue hurts, I think I drank my tea too quickly.

Perhaps I should be more worried about finals.

StrictTime - in answer to your random thoughts:

1. possibly, but still up in the air right now - you have time to think about it

2. perhaps, but slow down. Tea is to be enjoyed and sipped

3. not a chance. You're a smart cookie and you study too much and there's no need to worry


Random thought of my own. I haven't done hardly any Christmas shopping. But that's what the internet is for, right?

Although throwing a shoe at someone is one of the greatest insults within the Arab world, Bush should still feel lucky that it was only a shoe!

He looked like he was enjoying it, like it somehow justified his entire political career. 'I invaded Iraq and still managed to evade the flying shoe!' By the second shoe, he was clearly thinking 'OK, this is how it's going to play out, each and every one of them will throw his shoes at me and I will duck the lot.'

Aw, thanks Spooks. I did alright on my one today, one more tomorrow!

I'm actually quite looking forward to going home, for the first week, anyway.

Austin is 15 today, and I have foolishly promised to take him to get his learner's permit.

My parents took us to see the grandparents in MS one summer, and to entertain ourselves we were given the keys to the Caprice and the back pasture.

Good times.


I was 8 or 9, maybe.


Anyway, times have changed a lot since those halcyon days, os.

When I was about 10 or 11 my 14 or 15 year old bro' would take the keys to my parents' car when they were out in the other car and drive me madly up and down country lanes. This was on Jersey where the speed limit was 40. I learned the word 'adrenalin' from him then. At the time it was terrifying, I half wished he wouldn't do it and half loved it cos it made me feel big and cool. Now I look back and am amazed and grateful that we didn't end up in hospital or worse.

My oldest is 16 in Jan, so at least I have a year before driving lessons become an issue. May that year pass slowly!

randomly, i actually learned to drive on my grandfather's farm in a 1955 international harvester pickup truck he bought new. i could tear thru those fields. after everyone was dead it was about the last thing left out there, so i took it and restored it and still have it. it has 32,000 original miles.
