I can sell you a whole buncha baked Eucalyptus leaves cheap, Postie. You'll just have to pay the FedEx.

Hey!! Is your net connection still up and down? Can't really imagine it would be stable, but thought I'd ask.

It's been ok since I got back from the shelter, but we went out to eat (the Denny's up the road would be open even if there was nuclear fallout piling up like snow on their doorstep) and just tried to get online. Have had no problem. Power glitched earlier in the day, lost the cable tv and the internet for a while. But it's up now.
You can have the baked, toasted, or roasted, your choice Postie. Some of 'em are still smokin, very fresh.
USPS has a flat rate priority mail pack for $8.75....
Chuck did, did he? Oh my. Well, there goes my first impressions.

have to go help clean up, the cats are back at the shelter and have been in carriers for a couple of days. they're going to have to bathe each of them (ohmygawd, get the heavy work gloves!). all 350 of 'em. oy.
Can't you just run them all through a car wash??
seriously, I am so damn glad to hear from you, I could just squeeze you like an empty tube of toothpaste in the hands of a nervous guy with a first date in 10 minutes~~
Merle
that brings back memories of a guy i knew: too much clearasil and vitalis.
visual image of cats being sent through car wash, still in carriers, is perversely amusing.

So I guess I should say I'd like a 1/4 of a pound. Probably should pack it with stuff from the cat shelter, it will throw off the UPS dogs. I'll be, SMOKIN!! !

Yes, I suspect you are right. I was a touch sensitive after reading some of the stuff (not here) over the past few days, and had my sword out ready to poke even the hint of nastiness. It might have been unfairly drawn, in this case.
I like your style, girl! Sometimes misunderstandings happen in the cafe but any ruffled feathers are soon smoothed out. The longer you stay here the safer you will feel.
Nan. you are one outstanding lady.

Night, all. They're announcing new evacs and I have to go listen. If it's not us, I need sleep. Seeya on the flip side.

This is Merle's fault. She got us watching more MSNBC (TV channel here in the States). I had a really wicked night mare and was awake to see this or a little of it this morning. It was in the subtitle crawl the news stations have on sometimes. Said something to the effect that thinking positive and negative for the future, is hard wired in humans. I found that seriously interesting. I know no more about it then that. I have no idea who did the study, if it was done well, etc....... I'm thinking there might be some interesting dynamics to that observation. Now if this is really hard wired, I'm wondering what role meds are doing now and what they might in the future. Drugs mess with this stuff even if not designed to do it, it's just the nature of some of them. Feed back?
The night mares I have been having recently are really something else again, with this mornings really freaking me out and that isn't easy for a dream to do to me. I think what is happening is this. I have slept now with white noise on for many years, I still do. However lately I have gotten the courage to turn it off. I can actually sleep with out it. I don't need it to keep the thoughts to a dull roar when trying to go to sleep, due to a mood stabilizer. Old habits die hard and it is very unnerving just to turn off the tv to begin with. Anyway what has been happening is, I do think the white noise is triggering actions in the head. And these actions are intensified due to the med. It's a side effect of the med. I might try to play with this. Put something on the TV that is more soothing, I stick it on the news stations now, duh!!. I thought they debunked that old thought about sleep learning, I'm not thinking this is the same thing, but you know...I'm not so sure this couldn't be used positively.
Having said the word, positive in both of the above paragraphs, this could set up some interesting (to me) ideas. I haven't figured out if I'm a hard wired positive or a negative thinker. I see other things coming into play, possibly.

I saw that, too. And what I was reading said that they hadn't fully measured the effect that our upbringing and past experiences would have on it. It also had me pondering a little something that I have wondered for awhile... why can 2 people suffer the same kind of trauma, and have 2 completely different outcomes. I have had people that know me well ask how I can have dealt with the things in my past and my illness and still be dumb enough to have blind faith that the world is a good place, most people are decent and life is worth waking up for. My answer is that I haven't got a freakin' clue and I sometimes wonder if I'm just too stupid to know any better. It's just the way I am, and the way most of my kids are so being hardwired would explain it much better (and be less distressful) than the prospect that I just might be a moron and taught them to be that way.
That's exactly how I feel. You just said it oh so much more succinctly than I could have!
Even after my daughters death, being married to a narcissistic ex husband to be who was extremely manipulative and took advantage of my naiveness and faith in humanity.
Still...like an idiot...I believe!
I guess I still believe cause its the person I'm trying to be, and I want to know that it matters. That it matters in some infinitesimal way if your a person who's trying to do the right thing, rather than just getting to do whatever you want with no repercussions for any of your actions. and yes I have taught my children to have a positive outlook and can only hope it brings them a measure of hope and a cause for action to bring about a global change. (Do I sound like the "tree-hugger" that I am?)
PS Very first time I used the "quote button"
You are the first person besides myself that openly admits to being a "tree-hugger". I could kiss you! You said it the way I see it, too. The thing that I see, though is that there are so many other people who would just lie down and never get back up no matter how hard anyone else tried to get them to or how good there life could be in spite of the set back.
(And just for the record, and I don't want to disappoint Nannarob, but I do know that my soulmate is out there, he just doesn't know it yet.) My soulmate friends are also out there, and I know who they are.
I am a treehugger, been yelled at and screamed at because of it, got my car rammed from behind once. . learned not to put a bumper sticker on that way. I don't care. Trees hug back, they didn't.

Well then, a BIG hug and smooch for you, too, Merle!!
My ex-husband used to call me a tree hugger as an insult. When Kid#2 was 3 yrs.old he ran around hugging trees every time we went outside so he would be just like Mommy.

Okay, that? Turned me to mush.
Nan, so good to hear from you, and may you be spared another evac. After Black Christmas here, there were other fires, but because so much of the terrain hereabouts had been rendered moonscape, there was no further threat to us [/black humour].
Now, just because I'm feeling random:
Waltzing Matilda went to St Kilda
That's when she spill'd a
Red drink down her dress
And the stains could be seen after hours and hours of scrubbing hard
So young Matilda, she bought a new dress.
