Sorry to hear about your MIL. No I am not in San Antonio, I'm in Dallas. Wish I knew someone to refer you to, but all my peeps are here and in Va Beach.
Sorry to hear about your MIL. No I am not in San Antonio, I'm in Dallas. Wish I knew someone to refer you to, but all my peeps are here and in Va Beach.
Thanks anyways Kat. :-) It is like learning Greek at an accelerated pace. Talk to y'all in Texas- home of Sandy Cheeks!
Lidija- It would be a hoot if he actually married her. I dunno, gals dress up as pirates, it's kind of cute.
China- Molasses is supposed to be good bc of the high iron content. I never saw an article, but was told from my acupuncturist. Worked for me this period, though, it was pretty amazing. Tastes great too- from Barbados! How often can we imbibe something from Barbados? For that alone, it is worth a shot.
Went out to dinner with a friend and her same age kid. The girl threw a meltdown bc Paige got to pee 1st in the bathroom. I've never seen anything like that. She was genuinely distraught (P was already on the toilet when she came in). Can't believe NO won. Strange year, this.
Hey Ellen,
Where is your MIL being treated? I may know the practice. We have a service called \"cleaning for a reason\" which is a service that cleans for free for people with cancer. The office that she is receiving treatment at should know these things. We provide all kinds of services like this for our patients.
I'm so sorry to hear she is so sick. Uterine Cancer can be very treatable if caught early. Unfortunatly, doesn't cover things like respite care, in home services, things like that. For my mom, we ended up having to hire someone to come in and spend the night with her at $15.00 an hour. It wasn't cheap and that was a couple of years ago. In order to find out about services about that, look up under Senior Services for her county and you should be able to find \"sitting services\" or something like that. I can't remember what I found it listed as. If you can't find it then just call the senior services number. San Antonio is a huge city so they'll have something. But it will cost you - however, they do background checks on the people before they list them.
I figured the movie stars would have a separate entrance into the plastic surgeon's office. LOL
Lucy is so excited about being 5. Her party isn't until the 27th. LOL
Gotta run!
Candi- The surgery is at Methodist in San Antonio. They don't know how far it spread until then. They'll be checking out the breast and colon on the table. She has a serious blood clot problem so there's no saying if she'll get past this point. If she does get home, I will totally post about where.
Maybe you see this in your work, but she is in such denial! There's so much to prepare for such an extended bedrest and she's running around picking out bedding. Jesus. Then, everything she didn't do, like follow up on resources we found for her, comes back to us at the last second. It is very chaotic.
I did find \"personal care\" services from referrals of referrals (you know, keep dialing what you're given) from the American Cancer Society. Yep, 15-18 an hour. How often did your mom need them? About how many hours a day???
Our major problem is that she is 63 so she doesn't qualify for senior services. It would make like much, much easier. Paige was so psyched about being 5 too! It was a milestone in her own head. Now everything is \"I'm 5 now, so I can do (whatever)\". She is very, very proud of being a kid. Can't wait to see the pics. You take good pics.
Weird event today. I was getting my hair cut and was sitting in between Brandy (the singer) and Linda Hogan. It was very hard to decide who to listen in on more. Anyway, Linda Hogan has this little dog and it wears (I kid you NOT) custom coats made from vintage Chanel jackets. I thought I was going to die. It was in a pink Chanel. A DOG!!!! The whole thing was so over the top it was just...What do you say to that? That is all kinds of wrong.
Then I got my nails done elsewhere and the guy who did them is really into the graffiti art scene and hip-hop. He is designing clothes and has this music producer best friend who has recently hooked him up. Now he has been commissioned for designing/dressing the clothes for T-Pain (sp?) and Big E? Little E? Guy G? Whatever, I forgot. It was supposed to also be Lil Wayne (sp?) but now jail or something.
So, we hit it off so well, I am invited to this ****! Being there while the rappers get dressed!!!! I told my husband and he's like you're doing WHAT? Still, it seems like a fun surreal thing to do so I really hope it doesn't go down while we're in Texas. Seriously, I kind of want to see the entourages and witness if they are smoking a zillion pounds of pot or pull out their Bibles and are all different off screen. I really, really want to go. That is a once in a lifetime kind of experience. This is why I could never more. Too bizarre. (BTW we're still here, we leave Thursday, not packed etc. and it's COLD out there).
Julian birthday photos:
(girlfriend Anna left from him, violet dress :-))
Ellen so who is Linda hogan? LOL I'm not good at Hollywood stuff. LOL
We see the denial stuff all the time. but she will come around. We paid for my mom to have care 16 hours a day and we covered the other 8. (My sister and law and I)
So if you go and hang out with the rappers, will you post pictures? I don't know a darn thing around rappers. I listen to country only. haha
Where is everyone?
Lidija - pictures are wonderful! I was on a conference call when you skyped me the other night! damnnnit!
Hi. I am basically brain dead. Candi I don't know how you do the work that you do. All I can see in my future is life and then sickness and death. It is depressing! You work and work (ok, I don't work, but schlep to the store whatever) and all of a sudden boom- not fun!
MIL continues to be in total denial. I set up services for her that she blew off, and in the end found a lady from Guatemala who was a nurse there to care for her. I keep telling the real agencies (I KNOW this nurse will quit bc mil is ******* crazy_ ) that she is in denial, please keep us on the list because reality will hit etc.
Her job is trying to find a way to edge her out and keep it legal and when it happens, insurance is gone. We got her a house (nothing fancy- basically had the grandma who is in a home (she's the only child) sign it over to us for her to live in). It is in our name, so at least there's that. Anyway, stage 3, class C. Chemo starts next week.
My true funk, now that I live in the land of funk with the tiny fairies who can't quit meth and suck on leaves all day (eh?) is that I LOVE AUSTIN. I love it. I have never felt this way about anything before. I want to live there, like now. Going back to LA, I was just over it. However, I'd live in East LA before that hellhole San Antonio any day. Austin is the bestest place in the universe and I want to move ASAP.
Can't figure out WTH we'd do there or how to swing it, but it's like leaving the hot guy from your study abroad program in Italy behind while you head back to Cleveland. LA does not feel the same to me. House is done in a week and I'm just over this. Feel stuck, old, stucky stuck stuck. I want to go!
So the 2 things collided and it's like ok, here's your probably future death barring a car accident, reflected in the face of your MIL. I have maybe 15-20 years before a health decline, and I'm spending it doing exactly what...? No more kids, no more clothes, house is done...I kinda feel like a giant Groundhog day in LA. Been there, done it, heard about it- just not a W.Hollywood fella who can **** Tom Cruise. That's about it.
So I want to upheave my life in that beautiful town. The air is fresh, the people are awesome, it's just...
Lidija- I loved the pics too. What was weird to me was that the \"girlfriend\" (Anna) really did seem like a mini-wife! She looked genuinely pleased with him in those pics! The other kids were like kids, but she was really, really present if that makes sense. Too cute. He has grown up a LOT. Did you make those cakes?????
Candi- Linda Hogan is Hulk Hogan's ex. She was on a reality show with him. Normally I would not care at all, but the dog in cut up Chanel was a whole other level that was hard to get past. What is weird is for the 1st time I kind of get country. I also kind of get why someone would vote Republican. In Texas, EVERYONE is acting kind of the same and is polite and follows the rules etc. and it just makes sense and life is easy in ways and you figure, WTH is wrong with everyone else who can't just get with the program? It's hard to put my finger on it, but country music just feels right down there.
OMG when I got off the plane in Uggs, sunglasses, fake fur vest I felt like such a douche! Everyone is sooo different down there. Less bullshit. So yeah, country kind of matches that- harmonizes with it, I guess. Texas has changed me in fundamental ways. I don't think I'll ever be the same. You can live without all this nonsense! Who knew? I do know who Trace Adkins is, but that's bc of Celebrity Apprentice.
I heard some weird **** about Garth Brooks. I think those mega country stars are probably the kinkiest guys around, bar preachers and priests. Eh, rambling. Mentally, I am one foot out the door. Once again, how do you do your job and not have a mental or spiritual crisis? I am genuinely curious.
MIL saw doctor today. They told her 8 rounds of chemo plus radiation. There is (total wrong words here) \"light\" chemo and \"heavy\" chemo. She has been ordered the heavy. She has decided that if she doesn't like the 1st round- starts on Monday- she is going to stop all chemo and has decided to die (!!!). Okey dokey then. We are getting a list of all friends so that we have something as backup if it is fast (I'm assuming it's not, though).
sorry about your MIL
I now work for a year with comparing cancer therapies data, but I always get confused when conformed with real people which are behind my data. Did you or your dh saw her diagnosis, talk with her doctors etc? What I can tell from my data is that no therapy compared with any therapy leads to faster death, but at the other hand it is up to may factors. Was she (is she still living alone? Not so easy on you? Are you back in Ca?
About Jui, Anna and birthday. It was actually going well. Children had fun. Parents didnt want to leave (I kind of tried to invite children only, but allow for parents whose kids are to afraid to be let alone to stay). Anna was enjoying herself (you can kind of see it on her expression on photos also) in Juis girlfriend or something special position :-)). She is really funny. Jui had one more girl he liked -Anastasia. SO, Anna get ultimatum recently either he stop contacts with Anastasia or she is not his friend/girlfriend any more. So, Jui went to Anastasia and told her that they can not be friends any more. She cried (Juis story). Then, Anna had birthday and told to her Mamma that unfortunately she can not invite Anastasia because she is not coming along with Julian :-)))- Quite capable for 5 year old. I do not remember doing such plots when at university. or I even then I didnt dared to.
About cake, yes we did it alone. My first cake (actually two of them) after cca of 5 years buying from cake shops, ordering in advance, buying frozen etc. It worked well, Jui was helping, we used chestnuts instead of flour for dough, and white cream with schlag (whipped cream?) and brown with chocolate. Only mistake was that I bought color for cake hoping to color chocolate cake in blue like Thomas train, but blue at brown didnt show. White cram was for eis bear cake, Jui and Anna do not like chocolate.
Otherwise I am really happy that all this birthday celebrations are finally over. We started early week before birthday when Juis godfather come to visit from Croatia, he come for different reasons but brought his present and my sister present. Then weekend after we went to Hans mother where we had a cake with MIL and cousins, also present involved. Then, Jui and me had a small cake for actually birthday - Tuesday (Hans was on business trip that day), day after we went for a Chinese birthday dinner (Wednesday). At Thursday they had a party at Kindergarten. Then we had a day break. And at Sunday kids (and parents) come to our place for a party. So, when this week and half birthday celebration was finally over I kind of relax.
Julian also finds 5 year is big milestone. I should agree that he did change recently. Start more thinking about things and discussing them. And asking different questions. He is definitely different then when he was 3 or 4. Or he was more similar according to me between 3 and 4 then between 4 and 5.
about skype, doesnt really matter. I saw you sometimes on line so I thought we could chat a bit, but it is nothing really necessary I had to discuss. I am also to lazy to calculate time difference and I would not like to bother you on work. my last guess was that you are on line automatically whey you switch on computer, so I guess maybe I should not interrupt you. If you ever feel like chatting just call. If I am busy I would not answer. I do not log any more (if it is not necessary) from my mobile phone because I am only causing confusions with it. So, if I am online this mean that I am online on computer.
where is everybody else etc ????
Ellen - Wow your poor MIL - ovarian CA is probably Taxol/Carbo for her first go round. Not too bad unless maybe they are mixing it with some Gemzar or something. We don't do a lot of Ovarian treatment since we have a GYN Oncology practice not too far from us.
LOL about Austin. I love Austin. But why do you think it freaks me out when I go up north and people don't speak to me! If you are coming out of a door and I'm going in, I will say \"hey, how are you?\" and then a northerner will look at me like bi*** I don't know you! LMAO seriously. Around here, everyone says \"hey, how are you?\" Everyone and anyone will strike up a conversation with you in the check out line at the grocery store...stuff like that. But when I've traveled up north, folks just look at me like I'm a nut job. LOL
Lidija - Do you have pictures on FB? Lucy's party was this past weekend. It was a tinkerbell party! I LOVE Birthday parties you know. Rodney's birthday is tomorrow. He is going to be 49!!!! I'll be 42 on the 11th. Holy cow!!! I'm getting OLD!
Later gators.
Hope everyone is well.
PS - it snowed here today.
Jui birthsday photos are on facebook. Also ones with my sister son birthsday party in ZAgreb. Can send you link from to facebook probably. Lately I produce so much output with that mafia wars/farmville that ut is difficault to see anything else there.
Julian was getting chickenpox in kindergarten, so he is at home now. I think English name for disease is chickenpox, varicella is written on pedi report. The one which is highly dangerous when you are pregnant. I was first under shock, when I was told I have to stay with him at home minimum 2 weeks and who now how much longer. Problem is that I have per year 5 days which I can get from job to when child is sick. How is it in US? In Croatia it is not limited, so basically my sister was till now few weeks on sick leave because of child. This 5 days are much to little in AUstria. OK; each parent 5 days, so theoretical Hans could also take 5.
At the end his mother come from Styria to save us. So, now I am working again, Hans is in Paris for a change, and Hans mother is at home with Julian.
At moment it is really practical for me because I she take care about Julian, cook and clean, so I have an easy life. I hope that some problems would not occur.
I a not sure should I cancel my cleaning lady this week. I guess Hans mother does not have a clue I do have cleaning lady normally. At the other hand, I can not really expect from her to do all house jobs, so it would probably be better for cleaning lady to come. Will see
Hans sounds like an international spy. Are you really sure he teaches anything? I wish I had time to get into stuff, but we're kicked out of here and moving in to the house by Saturday even though it's not done. No furniture- 2 mattresses. Fun. Candi can I see some pics too? I know it's my fault to choose to live in the stone age, but I'd love to see how L is doing.
The last second, either the contractors, air guys or the tv guys totally ****** up the flloors. Everyone is pointing fingers but it's ruined. We don't want to pay. It's a nightmare. Designer is coming today so I hope he is in a good mood (he is completely nuts) so he will deign it worth his while to help. I'm totally overwhelmed. How are we supposed to function in an unfinished house? BTW it is month SEVEN.
Designer got totally ****** that we badmouthed him to one of his assistants about how long this is taking. He is going to cover the floor cost (minus 1000 credit we had) BUT he fired us!!!!
He is such a diva ***** omg. So now we have no furniture and no-one to help etc. There is waaay more to this story I don't have time for. Assistant was almost crying bc of stress and guilt (he gossiped god knows what- what I said wasn't THAT bad, just accurate). Contractor feels sorry for us and is putting up temporary window coverings for free. I really really hate this guy for the chaos he has caused.
We are in no way ready to move with one day left. Calgon, thank you for letting me have a bath. I know these are not real problems. Still, take me away.
Funny stories Ellen. I hope it solves somehow. Maa, it would, I am sure :-))
Hans, an international spy, funny idea. That person is forgetting his passports (he has 2) all the time and I can hack (I do it periodically) his mail. No, I belive he just like to travel on Africa development money (he really hates me when I writ this, but I hope he wouldn't read here again) and play big white squaw or big white boss , however you like it, there.
I do not know what is China opinion on this one, but I kind of hate patronizing of that (humanitarian) people. China, like somebody from Africa, and I hate patronizing because I get it so often like somebody from east Europe in big west. From stupid idiots who thinks that they are better because per pure luck they were born in some part of world. So, this is why I do not really see why Hans & comp have to go around to explain African how to live, but I somehow suspect that this is because they want to travel, not because they want to help people. Although they claim second. I do not give any money since I get bit more informed to any humanitarian development agency covering Africa. I do not want to sponsor fat white people traveling and patronizing around.
So, I do not believe Hans is spy, although I get but out of context up there because as bad that spy companies are, i can not believe they are so bad to pay him. I believe just he likes to travel and he finds Africa beautiful. And he believes he does good things. He actually go there and help people make breeding plans, to breed better animals. Like sharing knowledge about breeding - how to make breeding plan, how to define goals, how to make most money from job.
Which part I do not believe. Ha, till now I learn that most of this projects do not work one day after sponsors stop financing it, so I do not see purpose for it beside Hans and friends traveling, and some people for Africa having job as long as west finance it. Hans agrees with it, (not with his traveling part) but thinks this is something already. I am not sure, but who knows.
Should go to sleep instead of writing monologues here.
Julian is still at house arrest because of chicken pox and we all get slowly crazy from not being allowed to leave house with a very active 5 yo.
One more week to go.
\"I do not want to sponsor fat white people traveling and patronizing around\".
This might be one of my favorite sentences of all times. How to use it? How can I interject that into a normal, chatty conversation??? \"I don't like milk\". \"REALLY??? I don't like to sponsor fat white people traveling and patrolnizing around\". I need an in. I love this!!! Tell Hans at the airport, ok fat whitey, enjoy your patronizing around. How would that fly? Does Hans agree? Do you argue about this (I mean debate, you know...)
My opinion is that there is a dichotomy between the global and collective cultures that is creating this chaos in tribal worlds. Most are savvy/aware or greedy enough to recognize the benefits of capitalistic individualism, but is a direct clash with emotional and cultural pressures of the group. This vacillation around people trying to integrate an impossible split causes the corruption. Nothing works bc once the teaching groups leave, too much pressure to exert capitalistic pressure against your family/tribe.
Pretty sure in Nairobi etc. it's a different story. I'm thinking about the villages. How can you set up your goat selling collective or whatever when you've got pressure from uncle Ahmed about how great aunt Zayneb saved your cousin's son and the goat is a payback etc.
They're going to have to go Western or continue to perish. I think all tribal cultures will in order to flourish instead of decay and corruption. Not that we in the West are a lovely little picnic, please. I mean, hello, Dick Cheney. Still, the crumbs get spread enough for most of us to have a wide screen tv. Plus, the US exploits Africa up the yin-yang, BUT ridiculous notions about voodoo curses/witch doctors etc. have gotta go.
Wow China. Look at me, resident African expert. China I am curious as well as you are the OA (original African, baby) as to your opinion, as you represent all people of Africa in everything they think doncha know. Whee!
I hate my designer so much I hate him I just hate him. I now call him \"pissy pants\" and refuse to speak to him (even though he fired us, there is one thing he contractually obligated to finish or I can sue his ***. Unfortunately, furniture and window coverings don't fall in this category). Everything is through this one assistant it is ridiculous.
The contractor feels so sorry for us he is now also lending us FURNITURE. Jesus God what is this? Most people hate their contractors but ours is like a little heaven boy fall from the sky. Still unpacking, total chaos. Let's see....
1. New dishwasher- BROKEN (doesn't dry).
2. New dryer- BROKEN (turns off randomly mid cycle).
3. New cooktop- BROKEN (2 internal error messages, can't turn it on).
4. Fireplace remotes? Oh, BROKEN (reasons still unknown, they cut off).
5. New microwave- BROKEN (steams up after being on 50 seconds or more).
There's probably more. I don't know. Here's what I do know. In an empty house w/o window coverings and no appliances but an oven. Oh, new bedroom tv broken too.
i don't mean to laugh...really i don't but i'm howling about how the whole remodelling is going/ went down- literally!!! when did you get back from TX? how's MIL doing? i'll get back to several things on your post when i get a chance.
i can only truly give you a take on nigeria...not much to say as the overwhelming corruption keeps most foreigners away except those interested in benfitting from the corruption (subtly or not, one way or another). its a whole topic in itself and really aggravating to me! Dh is having sucha tough time bringing investors in etc....i'm truly piissed!
how is Jui doing? chicken pox is not fun but from memory, i think the first 3 days (nights especially) are the worst! we all had it as kids, my mum was in the US at the time and we were stuck at home in humid weather with my dad who had no clue and went crazy listening to us whine all night long!
work is crazy these days hence no lenghty posts.
don't you have guaranties? Although story is really funny.
I also have a new kitchen when we moved, so did kind of get all machine new. We go for all Siemens not to have problems later and we are mostly happy with it. Here is kind of state of art all Miele, but this was to expensive and kind of stupid money spending according to me. But, me, like hating this prepotent west Europe and trying to help east, did kind of force fridge and washing machine (for clothes) from Gorenje (Slovenia = ex Yugoslavia). To help their economy and our wallet since they were cheaper. And I was generally hapy with Gorenje products while in Croatia. And both seller were trying to talk me out of Gorenje. ANd now, 2 years after w move, only this 2 Gorenje things make all the time problems. German Siemens work perfect. Me idiot. Although since we never had problem with Gorenje in Croatia I develop from time to time different conspiracy theories.
about Africa etc I like your simple formulation. Although Hans isn't so fat.
Although should excuse myself for writing the whole post. Seems like I was really annoyed with Hans kind of bringing me to live with him to Austria where I have neither family nor close friends and then being all time away for business. And I find importance of this business bit fake.
chicken pox, disease is mild without complication. Most annoying is 2 weeks house rest. Basically, he was 2 days feeling but even this was like more tired, without fever. Since then he runs around flat, dance, taking all things out. And all things you can imagine a very active child would do if you try to keep him locked in a flat for more then 2 weeks. Additional we imported grandmother to babysit him. Fortunately Hans mother and not my mother which would surely drove me crazy. So Hans mother helps me and she is really nice, but it is still not like you are alone in your house.
About Nigeria, yes I know. All books I saw on Nigeria are state things you wrote plus even Hans never ever consider going to Nigeria. Books are really writing so bad things on Nigeria and corruption there that I started to get really worried when you write you are going there to visit your relatives.
I am also on work now, so should not write to much.
ps Candi, happy birthday case you are reading here
Brand new air conditioner system died yesterday. Seriously. Ninety something degrees, too. Woot!
walk around naked Ellen!
China- I lost my long message yesterday! Summary: No permanent window coverings. I pitched a fit and designer (pre \"firing\" us) got us temporary blinds from Ikea that were finally put up. However, they are too short so they hang down the whole way to 3/4 of all the windows. Not a pretty look, I tell ya. No naked for me!
I will die sideways if it turns out the freon leak the new guys were supposed to check is in the walls. That means tearing down new walls (?). I can't even go there. Fuckety **** **** **** ****. Still, got a new lady designer that is going the extra mile so I guess in the end it will all work out.
So, get this----School is having an auction coming up. I donate 10 zillion things and this last second thing today. Head of fundraising and grants, who WORKS THERE is in her office. Auction chair comes in and I need paper to write up new donation. She tells me to go to lady's office next door. So I do. There is a lot of bustling and it doesn't seem like anything formal is happening. I ask for and get the paper and as I'm walking away the fundraiser yells \"feel free to interrupt my meetings any time\". Wow!!!!! So then all maturely I go back to the other room and curse under my breath all about her. Neat.
This whole auction thing, it's really like the African Savannah. I think I'm a hippo. Left alone for the most part, watching the lions tear apart the jittery gazelles. Mostly underwater hiding out. I'm thinking about disengaging next year from all the fuss. A lot of women are on SERIOUS power trips and/or using it to jostle for position in the school. The whole thing is very dysfunctional and seeing people's true colors has been surprising. A lady I loved (her husband is the one who brought the mistress to Paige's birthday) I now see in a different light. I kind of get how her husband would do that now. All bubbly on the outside and her intestines are shark's teeth.
Lidija- What is up with the conspiracy theories about appliances? Better products for the home country? Curious.
I can come up with any reasonable conspiracy theory. I put them on my never buy from list.
Can you maybe send me a list from producers you buy your things from so I can update my never by from this companies list. US or china of france made? Hope surely not German made :-))))))))))))))))
No girl, not German made. We were going all Miele and diva gay bastard designer talked us out of it. One of the many mistakes we made...Whatever. It's coming along. Team Miele, tho. You have a green dot on your name. Are you here now?
Oh, forgot to add...I wait for the garbageman since we've moved back so that he can take all my excess boxes w/o charge. We've become friendly so today he's talking about how me might move bc of mold and his 8th month old son and then...
It's bc he has lung issues bc he's a 25 weeker with a dead twin just like me! So I tell him about Paige and he's crying and I'm crying and we're standing there next to this loudass truck. It was surreal and very sweet.
Happy Easter everyone (who is in it anyway).
green dot on name, yes, I guess this mean online but doesn't help to much as there is nothing like real life interaction - like talk - here. We could try skype, but I never succeed with Candi who I have on my skype list either. Other question is what would we talk about :-))
Anybody planning to come to Vienna once? I am waiting for Juis new passport to be made so can not go anywhere until then and feel bit lonely hre.
About Miele - is it so expensive there like here. I have some friends which get everything Miele so that they don't have topay any repairment ever. I couldn't make myself do it, thing costet 3 times so much like other producer. So, my reasoning was, I'll buy 3 other products if they get broken for that prize, but somehow I always end repairing them. And all this complications with getting somebody to repair it, taking away, bringing new thing, installing it, having to at home etc. Maybe Miele is not so bad solution for peace of mind. But, I have all Siemens (beside 2 Gorenje thing as I already admit) and they also work without problems on long runs.
Happy Easter again + where is everybody thi sdays etc
love you all
Happy Easter everyone!
Lidija- no plans to come to vienna! i need to apply for passports (british and american for the babies/ british for CJ).

Nyamyam, the UK-based studio behind the Japanese adventure game Tengami, has just debuted the trailer for their next title, Astrologaster. Check it out below:
Astrologaster tells the hilarious story of proto-quack doctor Simon Forman. An individual from 16th Century England, Forman was known for his deployment of the astrological sciences to cure all manner of ailments. And not just physical and surgical ailments. The man could tell you if you were going to get that new job, or if your marriage was about to end. I suspect he could have even cured Darryn given the opportunity. (Editor's note: LIES.)
The game is a comedic romp through Forman's life. Commencing with the plague of 1592, Forman rises to the occasion with his incredible knowledge of the stars. Curing the sick and finding lost pets! It's up to players to consult on numerous problems, advising a series of characters that each have their own story to tell. Comedic writing and a colourful cast of voices that aim to challenge your medical consulting abilities, which all culminates with Forman proving that he is indeed worthy of finally earning a medical license. That is of
Astrologaster follows Nyamyam's previous title in its

Plantar Fasciitis
The plantar fascia is a connective tissue in the heel that stretches across the bottom length of your foot. Plantar fasciitis occurs when the connective tissue becomes inflamed, causing heel pain and discomfort during physical activity. Although the condition is completely treatable, traditional methods can take up to a year to start becoming effective.
Plantar fasciitis is caused by a number of everyday activities, so understanding the condition is important for managing and treating it. One of the most common causes of plantar fasciitis is excessive running, especially with improper fitting or non-supportive shoes. Too much exercise can lead to the plantar fascia being overworked and overstretched, which can cause tears in the tissue. Along with improper fitting shoes, pronation, the rolling of the feet inward, is a common cause of plantar fasciitis. If not treated properly, the plantar fascia becomes overstretched and starts to tear, causing inflammation.
Despite the common causes of plantar fasciitis, there are many different treatment options. For less severe cases, conservative home remedies include taking anti-inflammatory drugs to alleviate pain, applying ice packs to the bottom of your foot and heel, slowly stretching and exercising your feet to re-strengthen the tissue, and using orthotic devices are all ways to help manage your plantar fasciitis.
For more severe cases, shockwave therapy has become a common solution for plantar fasciitis. Shockwave therapy can effectively break up the tissue on the bottom of your foot which facilitates healing and regeneration. This fights the chronic pain caused by plantar fasciitis. Even if this doesn't work, surgery is always a final option. Surgery on the tissue itself can be done to permanently correct the issue and stop the inflammation and pain in your heels.
No matter what the case may be, consulting your podiatrist is the first and best step to recovery. Even the slightest amount of heel pain could be the first stage of plantar fasciitis. Untreated symptoms can lead to the tearing and overstretching of tissue. Because the tearing of tissue can be compounded if it remains ignored, it can evolve into a severe case. The solution is early detection and early treatment. Talk to your podiatrist about the possibilities of plantar fasciitis if you're experiencing heel pain.
What to Do to Keep Your Child's Feet Healthy
Being a parent involves caring for your child in every way you can. You make sure they are eating the right food, being nice to others, and staying out of any trouble. However, it is also important that you are watchful of their health, more specifically their foot health. Maintaining good foot health in childhood is important in preventing later conditions in life from happening. As children continue to develop, their feet require different techniques of care. Here are some various ways in which you can help your child's feet stay healthy.
A baby needs a lot of care and attention overall, but the importance of their feet should never be forgotten. Before a baby turns one, their feet change and develop greatly. It is important that during this time, a mother avoids putting tight socks on their child. She should also encourage movement of their feet so the baby can begin to feel more comfortable using them.
As a baby enters the toddler years of his or her life, they are begin to walk around. When your baby begins to take those first steps, it is crucial that they are wearing protective shoes on their feet. As a mother that is observant of your child's feet, you may notice changes in them. This is completely normal as the feet are becoming susceptible to the activity of walking. It is normal for a toddler to be a bit unsteady or to "walk funny" at first.
When your child grows out of their toddler years, it is important that you begin to show him or her how to care for their feet on their own. Practice with your child proper hygiene in order to prevent foot fungus or infection. Since children are constantly on the move, it is crucial to be cautious of any accidents or injuries that might occur. If an injury occurs, it is advised that you take your child to be examined by a doctor immediately. Since your child is still growing, particular injuries can shift the way in which a bone or other important part of the foot is developing.
Babies and kids are always changing and growing. Your job as a parent is to make sure they stay healthy and making sure they are properly maintained. This involves proper foot care and making sure the feet stay healthy. Following this guide, your child can live a long and happy life.
How to Treat Heel Spurs
Heel spurs are calcium deposits that cause bone protrusions on the heel bone. Heel spurs are usually associated with plantar fasciitis, which occurs when the plantar fasciitis in the foot becomes inflamed. Typically, heel spurs don't cause any symptoms. However, they can produce chronic or intermittent heel pain. Those who have had the condition often describe the irritation as a stabbing pain.
There are risk factors that may make you more likely to develop heel spurs. People who have abnormal walking gaits, run and jog on hard surfaces, are obese, or wear poorly fitting shoes are more likely to develop heel spurs.
Fortunately, there are precautions you can take to avoid developing heel spurs. One of the best ways to do this is by wearing well-fitting shoes with shock-absorbent soles. Another preventative technique is to choose running shoes if you plan on running, and walking shoes if you plan on walking. Shoes are made for different activities and it is important to research a shoe before you purchase a pair.
The pain associated with heel spurs often decreases the more you walk. However, a recurrence of pain after an extended period of rest or walking is likely to occur with this condition. Those with severe heel spur pain may opt to go the surgical route for treatment. However, more than 90% of those with the condition get better without surgical treatment. If you have a heel spur and want to know if surgery is right for you, you should go to your podiatrist and he or she will be able to conduct a pre-surgical test or exam to determine if you are an optimal candidate for surgery.
Athlete's Foot
Athlete's foot is an extremely contagious infection caused by a fungus that results in itching, burning, dry, and flaking feet. The fungus that causes athlete's foot is known as tinea pedis and thrives in moist, dark areas such as shower floors, gyms, socks and shoes, commons areas, public changing areas, bathrooms, dormitory style houses, locker rooms, and public swimming pools. Athlete's foot is difficult to treat as well because of the highly contagious and recurrent nature of the fungus.
Tinea is the same fungus that causes ringworm, and is spread by direct contact with an infected body part, contaminated clothing, or by touching other objects and body parts that have been exposed to the fungus. Because the feet are an ideal place for tinea to grow and spread, this is the most commonly affected area. It is, however, known to grow in other places. The term athlete's foot describes tinea that grows strictly on the feet.
The most commonly infected body parts are the hands, groin, and scalp, as well as the feet. Around 70% of the population suffer from tinea infections at some point in their lives, however not all of these cases are athlete's foot. Just like any other ailment, some people are more likely to get it than others, such as people with a history of tinea infections or other skin infections, both recurring and non-recurring ones. The extent to which a person experiences regrowth and recurrent tinea infections varies from person to person.
Sometimes people will not even know that they are infected with tinea or that they have athlete's foot because of a lack of symptoms. However, most experience mild to moderate flaking, itching, redness, and burning. However, some of the more severe symptoms include cracking and bleeding skin, intense itching and burning, pain while walking or standing, and even blistering.
Because of the recurring nature of the tinea fungus and the athlete's foot it causes, the best way to treat this condition is with prevention. You can take some preventative measures such as wearing flip flops or sandals in locker rooms and public showers to reduce contact with the floor. It also helps to keep clean, dry feet while allowing them to breathe. Using powders to keep your feet dry is a good idea, as well as keeping your feet exposed to light and cool air, to prevent the growth of tinea. If you do happen to get athlete's foot, opt for using topical medicated creams, ointments or sprays. These treatments help eliminate and prevent it from coming back.

Preparations for Hornbill 2023, which is the 24th edition, is underway in full swing and in a few days, the biggest fiesta in Nagaland is going to come alive having set the stage not only to bring all the Naga tribes together but people from across the globe. Indeed it is a cultural spectacle for many being mesmerized by the wide array of colorful and exhilarating performances.
The event is being held from 1st to 10th December each year, and at least for the 10 days Kisama the main venue of the Hornbill Festival becomes like a mini global village because of the way in which this Hornbill Festival has caught global attention while bringing tourists from across India and various other foreign countries to Kisama. As reported in the Hindu Last year's attendance came to 1026 foreign tourists; 48,413 domestic tourists and 90,860 local visitors.
While each edition of the festival is slightly different from the previous years, this year edition promises to bring in more new events including vlogging contest. The whole of Nagaland will literally get immersed in the non-stop entertainment and festivity especially for those in want of festivity and entertainment.
While the larger objective of the festival continues to be an ongoing struggle, and with its own share of criticisms on the content of the festival of being tuned with commodification and commercialization, it has lived long enough and seems many more editions to come and over the years this festival has no doubt attracted global attention and 'kisama' can be dubbed as a global village. However, the larger question remains – Whose Hornbill festival is it anyway? And does it serve the purpose of Naga Unity? What kind of identity does Nagas portray to the world?
One is reminded of the 1914 Christmas truce where peace among 'enemies' lasted for a short while before they were called back to battle. For 10 days at kisama the entire Naga tribes come together in unison with the slogan of unity. However, the slogan of unity does not last long, but to return to the underlying reality of the Naga life world where the different Naga tribes live bracketed within their own distinct comfort zone. This has happened because of so many factors, starting from tribalism and the disconnect, the communication gaps and the inglorious condition of roads and where each Naga is a not only a stranger to the 'other' Naga but there is an 'othering' of the 'other.'
As such, the 10 days spirit of unity needs to move out of kisama to further reach out to all the districts connecting with the villages. This can be done by creating incentives and avenues in order to bridge the gap of differences. One way is to have cultural exchange programmes and events which will help break away the narrow walls. The recent incident of Church violence clearly attests the selfish Naga attitude, that one would wonder whether the pursuit of a Naga unity is utopian or whether it has gone beyond damage control?
However, even as Nagaland prepares for the 24th Edition of Hornbill Festival, let the Hornbill sing not only of 'festivity' 'music' and 'entertainment', but most importantly the song of Naga unity. This global village has the spirit to sing of Naga unity as an identity marker for the world to see.

I follow this guy for his Ferrari 308 content, but he gives a very excited review of a really nice RHD GT5, so just fun to see. Don't know if the owner is on here, but really great-looking car...
Replies sorted oldest to newest
They certainly got more plush as time went on. Glad mine drives on the correct side, my size 13's wouldn't get to the brakes. Nice color. Takes a bit of gaudiness away from the flares and wing that seem so "in your face" with bright colors. Fun to see how people get so giddy in a Pantera. It was '76 when I got my first ride in one. Hooked on Panther blood at 12 years old. Took 28 more to get one. Mid life crisis?
I am curious to drive one of these to see how different it is or isn't compared to my 74. These interiors never seemed to fit the sports car image for me, but maybe it's more comfortable. I sure do wish my seats reclined, I can say that much.
Totally agree on the color helping the "in your face" of the design.
I like the interiors, the deviation from the Ford era 'all black vinyl' to colored leather creates a refreshing interior that is far more appealing IMO. Driving is different in a couple aspects 1.) more roomy as the later Embo chassis has lower floor pans which provide significantly more headroom for us tall guys. 2. the wider wheels up front with all the offset pushed outward tramline far more than a narrow body, even after adding 6.5 degrees of caster.
Thanks for sharing. Now I will be waiting for him to drive a narrow body.
That was a nice color combo on the GT5.
I forgot that Detomaso was producing the GT5 and GT5S at the same time, I was thinking the GT5 was phased out.
Great clip and somewhat surprised that Jack liked it. I would not have guessed it to be his type of car.
As Joules pointed out, the later cars offer a different driving experience. Wider tires, wider track, more powerful brakes, etc.
The first Pantera I ever saw in a magazine was the GT5. It is the iconic model for some of us.
Owner is Ian Nicholls. I do know if he is on this forum but he is on FB.

This research was conducted to study how five home economics teachers learned three new teaching techniques through an in service distance education project. The researcher looked specifically at: (1) How effective were video assisted self-instructional packets for teaching individual learners new methods of instruction? (2) How do teachers transfer knowledge of a particular method to actual classroom use? (3) Is there a relationship between one's learning style and style of teaching? Each case study draws upon data from the participant's background, test scores, interviews, self-reports, staff reports, student products, and observations. In three cases, it was concluded that learning style may influence style of teaching. The two teachers who were unable to transfer the information did not have consistent learning styles, were not comfortable users of the media, and reported having too many things going on in their personal life which interfered with the learning process.Type

The habit of being in homeostasis or so immersed in habits that we stop being conscious of the here and now is instrumental in underachieving in our lives. Take fifteen minutes a day and simply think about your actions of the previous

SES San Jose 2009 Review:
Morning Keynote: How to Prepare for the Future of Search
Bright and early Thursday morning co-author of Groundswell: winning in a world transformed by social technologies, Charlene Li took to the stage to review her suggestions on how to prepare for the future of search. Starting with the past she showed the audience what Google looked like in 2001, then what Google looks like today, and finally Bing. She pointed out that the innovation that has transpired in the last decade is a shift more geared towards understanding the users intent. With this she announced the theme of the keynote–people must be at the center of your search strategy, not keywords.
She predicts that in the future social networks will be like air: we don't go to them but it is all around us, embedded within society. Citing examples of iPhone apps.
Charlene stressed the importance of social networks in marketing allowing for new ways to target users. She did mention that Facebook advertising was not the route she was talking about, but more so using Facebook like data to serve up ads in search engines. CPM and CPC campaigns should take into account demographic, geographic, and psychographic data that social media sites can provide.
She outlined the engagement pyramid and stated that the most important place for you to be is the bottom in order to create a solid base of watchers or sharers; because without the sharers or watchers the higher sections become useless. What does this translate to? Encourage people by giving them social bookmarks, linkable content and useful information– find out where you can begin the dialogue.
The Engagement Pyramid
^ Curators
| Producers
| Commentators
| Sharers
| Watchers
Here are some other notable points from Mrs. Li:
- In the future everyone is a marketer
- The ability to control conversations is over
- Enable people from your company to engage
- Get your back-end data in order
- Prepare to tap into "chain of intent"
- Deepen relationships with social technologies
- Be ready to give up control

Mlima's Tale is a ghost story.
A haunting, crafted by the two-time Pulitzer winning Lynn Nottage, about the underground international ivory market as she leads us, step by step down the winding staircase that is this unsavory world.
Mlima's Tale is a ghost story, wherein the ghost that haunts these characters is made up from the repercussions of their actions.
The Adrienne Arsht Center starts their season of Theatre Up Close through Zoetic Stage with such a monumental piece, asking us all to look at the way we affect the world around us. Directed by Stuart Meltzer, with a simple cast of 4, this play does not falter. Each actor, aside from Mlima played by Jerel Brown, takes on the face of more than one character, and with each one having the confidence and direction necessary, they succeed in creating a fully realized world that is already there on the page.
Zoetic Stage – MLIMA'S TALE (Pictured – Jerel Brown, Paul Torres Wong. Photo – Justin Namon.)
The play starts in silence, with Mlima slowly taking the stage, at first he stands there, with a human-posture, as if he is waiting for something, and then, slowly but surely, he starts to move, the movement leading into something more animalistic, until he starts walking, the steps heavy, his arms transform, his gait becomes that of an elephant – and all of this is expertly crafted with movement direction from Herman Payne. I mention all this before I even discuss the performances or direction because this opening is so important as the set up for how we perceive the rest of the play, that without it, the impact would not be the same. Any and all movement throughout the play is soft, precise, and powerful.
With a cast a four, and a journey such as this one, actors are bound to take on more than one persona, a fun little gift for them to stretch their muscles, and play. The one exception being Mlima, a role that requires ones complete and focused attention to detail as it is a powerful and heavy responsibility to carry.
That power emanates especially from Jerel Brown, the titular character of this story, the only actor that portrays a singular role. From the first step, he took command of the stage, just like the bull elephant he personified, his presence was a commanding one. The pain and afterlife were given a grounded foundation with his voice, and even without speaking, his presence took over the stage. The role of Mlima might seem like a simple one, but the challenge lies in the silence, in the directed and specified movement, all of which Jerel conquered with ease, all the way to the end as his final movement punched the still air all around him.
Zoetic Stage – MLIMA'S TALE (Pictured – Jerel Brown. Photo – Justin Namon.)
The rest of the cast is made up of "players"; Phillip Andrew Santiago, Paul Torres Wong, and Sydney Presendieu. Each one dawns completely different personalities and with that, dialects – which I will admit at first I was worried. A dialect can either be good, or absolutely atrocious, but thankfully the confidence in which they approached the text with carried them along unscathed by the dialect trap and I can only imagine that this trap was avoided thanks to the work of dialect coach, Rebecca Covey.
Philip Andrew Santiago had a presence that you wanted to be friends with. No matter the character, no matter the despicable task or lie they were involved in, his performance created confusion – only because you find yourself wanting to talk to each person he embodied, he made these people human.
Zoetic Stage – MLIMA'S TALE (Pictured – Phillip Andrew Santiago, Sydney Presendieu. Photo – Justin Namon.)
Paul Torres Wong disappeared from the stage, and each switch he made was so distinct and fully realized, from the way he walked to the way he talked. I didn't know if I should hate and love him but because of the clear differences between each character, he made it easy to pick and choose.
As the youngest cast member, you would think that Sydney Presendieu might be the weakest link, but the complete opposite is true. She belonged on that stage, in that world, with a strong, dynamic, and vibrant characterization for each one that made me wonder where she has been, and when can we see more of her.
Stuart Meltzer has gathered a near perfect ensemble, constructing a world with and through them that might not have had the proper life it deserves within the South Florida Theatre Community. Now it goes without saying that this play is, well, it's a heavy one – one that could easily be dragged down by its own weight with an amateur director, but thankfully Stuart doesn't give it the chance. He makes sure to highlight even the smallest of comedic moments, because without light, darkness cannot exist, and it is obvious he knows this as those moments are given a chance to breathe thanks to the actor's delivery and direction.
Without a formal set Stuart had to create one through the ensemble and the technical elements, one that felt like what we were experiencing wasn't just some obscure Avant-garde piece, but instead a very specific voyage as we traveled from scene to scene, further and further down the dark and dank rabbit hole that is the underground tusk trade.
Scenic design that laid the foundation for this story was by none other than Michael McKeever. While he primarily works as a playwright, his design was an elegant one. It was simple, clean, empty, with a traverse stage set up that gave us a sense of traveling as the actors moved from end to end throughout each scene. The set was a stark but subtle contrast to the world in which it was representing, the grimy one involved with the poaching, killing, and selling of elephant tusks.
