I think wee glass o' malibu and pineapple juice would slip now quite nicely right now.. :)
Well, thats a first..my mouse is covered in flour! Being somewhat grounded today after spending yesterday ill in bed I availed of the time to do some home baking!
So far, I have two batches of chocolate cookie mix chilling in the fridge and I have a batch of blueberry tea-scones baking in the oven as I type :)
I love just having some time to do all the girly things.. it makes me happy and umm *fluffy* hehe.
Dom is down in the cafes.. he is going to get a lovely surprise when he gets home as our house will be wafting of the smells of home baking. He loves that!

eeek! a mouse!
mmm girl, the home-baking sounds delish...
Heh, well my first batch of cookie spreadddddd all over the place but my goodness they were tasty! NOw, all I have to do is to master that process Pagan!
I have an idea what to do with all the illegal immigrants coming into Arizona.. Why not let them build a city in the middle of the desert there, surround it with a wall and security and also send all the criminals there! Keep them all in the same place.. Who on earth would want to live in a desert anyway! So it's a good place for them! I hear the forest area of Az is very nice, so let's be sure to keep them out of there! Yay oh Obama!

The only law they are breaking in my opinion is trying to make better lives for themselves and their families. The unfortunate thing is they break laws by trying to come here to do it because they can't do it in their own country. You'd do it too if you had no choice. Don't say you wouldn't.
There are many cities in the desert. Arizona is mostly desert. So is a lot of Texas. Saudi Arabia is all desert. I have family there. So what's your point about that? How would you feel if you were in their shoes? You would have no idea how to feel would you. People "do" what they have to do in order to survive. It happens every day in every part of the world.
A lot of people don't like Obama that's true. But what's it to you? Does this Arizona thing have any impact on your where you live or your life? I don't think it does.
Well, that is a bit rich coming from you considering your husband is in the business of law enforcement, and no.. I would not break the law of the land and courts in an effort to enhance my lifestyle. Ever.
In my opinion sending criminals to go live in unpopulated areas like the deserts of the world is an innovative and super idea as it would keep the people who are law biding citizens safer, and well we would know where they all are instead of living among decent people.
Oh and, on the contrary, I think it would be very small minded of me if I didn't keep myself informed of world current affairs and politics.
Now, how do we stop the migration of the bed bugs in New York that was recently in the news.. we simply can't tell them to go and get lost, the way we can other pests.
Sure, they come to this country and live off the system for the next 5+ years at our expense. We shouldn't be building them their own city in the desert, who do you think is going to pay for it? We're better off spending more in extra security than paying for their better life. Send those who illegally enter back to where they came from. People in California bitch about having high taxes and their state going broke, but welcome illegal immigrants. Hypocrites!
Oh hiya Bones :) welcome back! heh, oh we wouldn't go building them anything unless they paid for it! Let them pitch tents and trade for the essentials of life like food and water first. Of course that netherland society would be in debt first until they made enough glass, sandpaper or whatever to buy a reasonable standard of living and pay of their debts. Anyway, food for thought lol.. Is Mars free? that would be even better!
Thanks for the comment :)
"Well, that is a bit rich coming from you considering your husband is in the business of law enforcement, and no.. I would not break the law of the land and courts in an effort to enhance my lifestyle. Ever."
WHERE did you get that idea? My husband is NOT in law enforcement. Get your facts straight. On all of this. Not just what people do to survive.
Until you're homeless and have lived out of the trash cans in the city to eat and sleep in a box in an alley, or sleep under someone's car in a dark parking lot to survive the night, you have no clue what it's like to be in need. Immigrants are people trying to survive too. That's all it is. Yes they break laws but so do the homeless from time to time, but we don't see much of that on the news do we?
I don't pay much attention to you or your family LKD but I thought it was your husband who was in the military but maybe it is some other family member...
In any case that is the only fact I got wrong, in my opinion of course :)
If you need to shout however, take it to the streets and not in here please.
Well said LadyVy. I bet the o.p. of this journal entry has never been down on their luck before.. and I don't mean being short .50 cents from getting their Starbucks. They probably been spoiled all their life, having everything handed to them on a silver platter. This entry really makes them sound ignorant.
LadyVv I hear what you are saying that there is a human element in this to consider..but the law is there for a reason otherwise we would live in a state of anarchy were people can do what they want. I just uphold the law of the land and the rules that law purports
Reading about Nightgame's new car in her journal got me round to thinking about my own Dodge jeep and how maybe it is time to trade it in. I bought it three years ago and I adore it, but for the past while I wondered about the crunching noise when I turned the steering wheel hard left or right and the big squeaks going over bad bumps in the road.
When passing by the dealership today i decided to call in with them as my warranty is up on the vehicle on the 6th of August. I am glad I did because they found fault in the front wheel suspension and the "wishbone" ( whatever that is...and I don't think it is chicken) is cracked. Altogether the parts will cost about £600! Never mind then labour! So, just calling in there on a haunch saved me a small fortune! Is it my lucky day or what! I really believe in karma. X
This is pretty amazing, I have been using the Ipad since 8am constantly and I still have fifty nine percent battery life! I am finding out many new amazing features of this super wee machine on a daily basis. I love being able to log in wherever I am, even in the car..downloading my email in a traffic jam is a hoot! Lol.

i love my ipad :) don't know what i did without it .. enjoy
Oh, cool! I have I-Ally! That is brilliant that I have someone to exchange views with! I have so far found out how to do office documents and sync n' print.... But so much to learn and so. I am definitely an I-baby. :) Must remember though that tablets are just in their infancy but it is so the bee knees to be working with the first model of them!
I am so jealous, I want one so bad. I've been giving hints to my family, hehe
So Cyprus was hot! I woke up to 36c temperatures and it steadily climbed up to the mid 40,s as the day progressed. Wow! I melted.. No weather for a pale skinned white woman! Cyprus was also beautiful and my friend and I went on a boat trip twice which was fantastic just to chill and lay in the sun. The. Trip ventured up to the border where the United nations are stationed in no mans land between the Cypriot and Turkish borders. One could see the ghost town of Nicosia from that location apparently left the same way when the Cypriots fled to the southern regions. It was eerie.
Well I forgot my digital camera but I bought one of those box cameras heh, it will be odd to see hard copies of photos again once they are developed!
We had a super time and for the first time ever I sang in the karaoke haha that was a lark! Anyway it was a good and very welcomed break. I slept the entire five hour flight on the way home. Another first!
I really believe the way forward in convenience and ease of use is having a tablet such as IPad. I do not think that I could go back to laptop use after the ease of using the tablet. Only drawback that I can see is in not being able to use flash or in opening more than one web browser at a time, but then that is maybe not a disadvantage, depends which way you prefer to a use your browser.
It is a bit pricey but that is compensated by the convenience and mobility of product. I am thinking of buying another one for hubby but now with Microsoft launching their own similar product I will wait until then so I can have adobe features.

Laptops do have their advantages. You can't put any program you want on an iPad. I am definitely looking forward to getting an iPad for my birthday- but it could never replace my computer... for a ton of things. And a laptop couldn't be easier than iPad for sitting on the couch and just surfing. I can't play World of Warcaft on it though, and digital imaging types can't put Photoshop on it. When I evacuate the area due to hurricanes- if I only bring the iPad there are a lot of things I'll have to resign myself to not being able to do.
I guess it all depends on what you need in a mobile computer. I'll probably be packing my laptop and iPad when I leave town :P
Exactly Images. I am on the move with my audits and so it suits me perfectly and is the reason why I bought it...however, I am still trying how to figure out how to save and retrieve reports from my email server. It will come! I Store provides a lot of diferent applications such as an office suite similar to Microsoft office but it is becoming familiar with the application that is the problem!
just some news to share ..the IPad works great as a reader and multifunctional tool, even with this website it's compatible and thankfully ad free. I like! The keyboard is just the bees knees as there is plenty of space between the keys and is easy to read. That scores brownie points for me!
Ease of movement is so fluid and predictable text is wonderful for journal entries!
The I-Pad arrived two hours ago... hubby is working on it now installing and setting it up :) !! I am so excited about it but it arrived just the day before I leave!! I haven't had a chance to work on it yet but it is smaller than I thought it was and weighs more than I thought. The i-Pad charger is not compatible with an I-phone charger! It really is going to be a handy tool. :)

oooooh...gimme, gimme, gimme... ;)
I cant get near it! LOL hubby wont give it back!
As an experiment, I wanted to see how long it would take to raise the status level... so I gained 0.05% in 20 minutes by sand-blasting the sandpit with rubbish! *sighs* how things have changed. and, and... I couldn't believe it I recently found someone with 11,000+ posts !!!!LMAO... God help the people who read all of them as they must be blinded with sand!
It is good to see you back Dead! and Guy do please come back soon.. the congregation will wither and wilt until you do!! Missing you already.. it took ages to get you back!
You make me want to recoil and vomit in repulsion. You are such a dirty old woman. Your hair looks like you fell into a chip fryer and your photos reveal the repugnant filth you live in. I am convinced you have scabies and smell like a slimy old trout. *gag*

Who peed in your Cheerios?
Well, I hope it wasn't one of your cats!
Oh my word. o_o
hey hey hey ladydarkrayne may have had a few bad hair days but that is no reason to mock her ......or did you mean someone else? lol
Heh, thanks guys. Anyway, in Ireland we don't pee into breakfast cereal we use milk. However, if someone did we would chop something off, like their dick or whatever!
OH. MY. WORD!! O-O
Emmy giggles at Oceanne! It's okay I promise not to chop of your cute lil fish tail! *everah*
LMAO!!!! how funny hun :D
It's an expression used to ask, who pissed you off?
....Really?
Yeah, it really is:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pissed%20into%20your%20cheerios&defid=1892978
More often people say, "Who pissed in your Wheaties?" But of course... cereal of choice.
I couldn't comment in Cancer's journal since I am so exceptionally exempt from doing so, but I realized I don't have to comment there... because I can do so here in my own journal..
I think that if it were to snow in Phoenix, Arizona during winter it would be as exceptional as the recent heat-wave in Europe and residents in Phoenix would be complaining just as much as their counterparts have done in Europe. Now.. the probability of that happening in Phoenix is unlikely to happen as a serious heat-wave in Europe. But there you are... it happened.
I concur, that the oil-spill could of been handled a lot better and it is obvious that assessment of risk, fault tree analysis had not appeared to be considered in depth in the case of catastrophic failures such as explosion as the risk would of be mitigated, and controls put into place to help prevent what happened. With analysis surely it would of been considered and particularly so in such deep water.
COMMENTS
You should be able to comment in any journal. I would hate to think Cancer excludes himself from being subject to members thoughts expressed via comments.
This entry is very well stated. Record breaking heat/cold/ or any other extremity will cause people to vent feelings that shouldn't meerly be deemed complaints.
Oh everyone has the ability to exclude comments from their journal if the owner has them blocked, or if they delete comment. It's their choice and in my case not taken personally.
The weather patterns have me amazed beside the heat waves, I never seen such seasonal drifts in my lifetime!
Making best use of the holiday to relax! I had my niece over for chilli and wholegrain rice earlier, and now I get to sort out which clothes I am taking to Cyprus with me on Saturday. When I was in Europe recently the weather was 40C which for an eskimo like me is exceptional! (mind you I will be sure to adequately prepare for it.. enough said lol..big floppy hats and water pistols for Mary and me!)
I bought one of those little cabin bags from Skyflight with wheels.. in a bright pink colour lmao, it is not bound to get lost now . Hmm, I think the suitcase will be spotted before me!
Later tonight I am hoping to get off to the cinema with hubby for a showing of , "Predator" Neill has recommended it.. so it must be good!
Anyway, toodily pips, later..later..later! :)
After several near nail biting misses, Spain wins the world cup!!! I thought it was never going to happen because the ball missed that many times! Geez, the dutch were a bit miserable on pitch.. tripping up the Spanish players! Yea. should of given out more red cards Ref! lol but the Spanish still won regardless. That is tenacity!
Sala's (nephew) pub in Spain is packed tonight and they are in process of a street party!! My brother and sis-in-law are in there too.. chuckles, the craic n' banter sounded good when I called them! wish I was there too!!
It is a human frailty that some people see and hear only what they want to. This is an age old concept that leads to misunderstandings, misinterpretation of situations, people motives and thoughts. Maybe, it is something you learn as you mature to think things through before acting or saying something unless of course you are arrogant, egoistical and seriously believe it is your way or the highway and you are ultimately right in all situations.
I am fortunate the years stood me well, and this is more or less an in-built value of mines. My job also demands that I run things through in my mind prior to opening my mouth and sounding totally stupid. It is unfortunate that I can't say the same thing about you.
COMMENTS
.......Really?
Stating something without proper research is just hypocritical, and makes one look foolish, so yes... really. Its not about you.
.. well-phrased.
It has been a rough couple of weeks in terms of my health.. I pulled a muscle on my back and so I was walking like Captain Sinbad's hook. I had physio a few times, and it appeared to work wonders! I actually got back to the gym yesterday and worked up a sweat with a jog on the treadmill. Still can't do the hills as it pulls on the group of muscles I injured.
*toot* *too* the six year membership mark with Vampire Rave is on the profile! I must be enjoying the site considering I have hung around so long. I wonder how much l more of this can I take? Things have changed a lot as it seems to be all about getting on as many lists as possible in a race to get to the top among the majority of members.
I don't think that aspect of the site has helped VR, but still.. the members come!
At the Tower of London, there are electronic polls where you vote on whether torture is acceptable, and whether imprisonment without trial is acceptable. The votes, in the hundreds of thousands, show the yes vote winning.. tee-hee! ooh I find that amusing.. am I weird??
Hmm, I really think the I-Pad would be a handy dandy tool for recording my audits on the days of inspection, soooooooo...it is 3 to 10 days to delivery!
Borrowed from Schedule 1's journal... I found this a perfect recipe for such evil bastards! (pardon my French)
First, security systems were designed to protect your family and home.
Then they were developed for your vehicle.
What was missing?
A vaginal security system.
Fret no more, the future of vaginal protection is here!
Introducing Rape-aXe
The anti-rape condom was developed by Dr. Sonnet Ehlers for use by women in South Africa, where the rape rate is 16%. Designed to level the "playing field" so-to-speak, against would-be-rapists, Rape-axe is inserted like a tampon. Once embedded in a man's penis, it can only be removed safely by a doctor.
"It's time to fight back," Ehlers announces on her web site.
How does it work ?
The Rape-aXe system consists of a latex sheath, which contains razor-sharp barbs. The device is worn in her vagina like a tampon. When the attacker attempts vaginal penetration the barbs attach themselves to the penis, causing great discomfort. The device must be surgically removed, which will result in the positive identification of the attacker and subsequent arrest
COMMENTS
Jesus!!!lol
But im all for it actually, if people are going to go around raping then they deserve to have "Razor-sharp barbs" attached to their penises......lol
Every man knows the precautions you have to take before you, er, you fuck a b-, woman, because there's a great danger ...
There's a great danger .....
... you'll have your knob chopped off by all the teeth they've got up their cunt.
Er, in-, in-, in-, in the Greek myths again, there was the-, er, the goddess Arethusa, wasn't there?
Right.
Who had these fucking false teeth up her cunt .....
Well, she'd lost hers so she had to put false ones in.
And she was a-, she was a siren, wasn't she?
Or an alarm system of some kind.
Yeah.
And she used to lure sailors off their boats and they'd disappear right up her cunt and get stuck there .....
..... and gnashed to death with false teeth. But! What does a man do confronted by these dentures in the cunt? Does he wear some sort of protective, er, device?
Like-, like-, I-I think-, .....
..... the av-, the average man, hold with me. The average man is best off putting a boxing glove over his, er, .....
..... his knob.
Because what you lose in-, in, er, sensua-, -uality .....
..... in sensitivity .....
..... you gain in protection.
one word: OWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
