On the radio they keep talking about the hot weather. 24 hours, every 4 or 5 minutes.
Yes. It is summer. So what!??

I hear you! I especially like how they talk about snowstorms here in the winter. They hype it like we live at the equator and have never seen snow before! The winter Olympics were held in this state a few years ago. What so you expect!!!!

Leaving a rant. I've got to do my english homework (I know it's late, don't judge me) right now and this is the exercise:

1) You are a cockroach in Tent D. You see Stanley enter and you wonder what happened to him outside. Then you see Zero enter as well. You are curious and you observe the boys closely. Describe what you see happening.

2) You are a lizard searching for food. However, you sense that something is clearly wrong with the boys and you start watching them closely. Describe what you see happening.

Honestly? Are you f--- kidding me? I do not want to know what being a cockroach is like...
Got to get through this, though. Oh well...

Don't you get a summer break?

Sorry, quick rant, I know people have worse things in life than vertigo but this is doing my head in. Three days now of feeling like I'm on a boat. I am going totally insane.

Google isn't working for me right now so I can't be specofic, but there is a head positioning maneuver you can do that might cure your vertigo. You might want to look into it.

Lovely and warm here too. So nice, in fact, that I bathed a pony this morning.

Pony picture?

Definitely! Especially as we seem to be down to one. Moi!

Isn't SusiGo a mod? By the way, it still lists you, Kazza and Susi as mods at the bottom of the main page.

Beautiful day here in Utah, USA! Sunny with no clouds; high supposed to be around 60 degrees F. Forsythia, daffodils, tulips, bleeding hearts in glorious bloom. And, the best parts:
1-My ankle has healed and I can walk without crutches or cane and I was able to ride my bicycle 21 miles yesterday.
2-Series 3 is filming!
YAHOO!!!!!!

Hey guys
well, i always was more into dogs probably because i'm not able to interpret a cats bodylanguage. I think that's the reason why my hands often were scratched when i thought it would be a good idea to stroke the cat from my neighbours. Never mind...
So It's time to show you my dog called Mona! She is 7 years old and a Labrador Retriever
Sooo adorable and behaves every time nicely even if you have an off day
The funniest thing is when you swim with her

I wish Mona could play with Sunny,my Golden Retriever!

My son is on rugby tour in Spain. The other night he stepped in when a guy was about to punch a girl he was with. Result...8-12 other guys stepped in and beat my son up. He has stitches but is lucky it wasn't even worse. Gang mentality at work. These guys were so brave! What a bunch of cowards! I haven't seen the damage yet but he should be back home tomorrow.

I admire your son. You taught him well. Are the bullies being charged with assault?

I wish my mum would've done this for me!

Is home-schooling allowed there?

Scary when they get like that. Glad he's over the worst. The fever seems to have broken eh.

My little rant wasn't anything nearly as serious or worrying. Just had a lovely, very different haircut but I think I would have got more notice at home if I had just had all my hair shaved off!

I know what you mean. One year I had 14 inches cut off and donated it to Locks of Love. My husband didn't notice!!! No I really am not kidding. I even said to him "Notice anything different?" He still didn't know what I was referring to. He would make a terrible witness to a crime! LOL

We ended up in the ER last night with Adam but he is home now and doing much better. Thanks for the good thoughts. I also didn't go into work last night. Of course I thought we would be at the hospital longer than we actually were. I arranged for someone to cover my shift, but I got him home by 10:00 and that is the time I normally leave for work. I went to bed instead!

I'm glad Adam is feeling better and you got some rest.

Sorry to hear that, Alice. Ghastly sickness, especially with children. My daughter used to wait too long when she was little and didn't make it to the bathroom in time. Not very funny.
I hope your son'll be better soon. And the photo series is very sweet. So he wants to be half pirate, half cop? Does he know Sherlock?
I never realized that comparison! Funny.
That is actually his scouting uniform.

I'm sure he'll be fine because he is strong, but he freaked me out completely last night right before I left for work but after I posted my rant. I went to check on him and he was on the floor in my room. I'm not cool with that so I went to pick him up to take him to my bed and he had a sort of fit.
He went all rigid and started this high pitched screeching. I got him to calm down enough to let me lift him up, but then he got the worst bloody nose ever and he stared acting weird. He was reaching for things that weren't there and then the worst part was when he started talking. He wasn't speaking English! It sounded like a real language, but obviously it wasn't. It was totally freaky. He got upset when I didn't understand what he was saying, repeating the same syllables over and over.

It took almost 10 minutes for him to recognize any of us. This flipped me out a bit, but the ER doc I work with said that it was most likely due to dehydration. He had a slight fever no more than 99 so it wasn't fever induced delirium. I will be leaving for home in a few minutes. I hope he has turned the corner when I see him. Either way his doctor will be getting a call today. I should have just taken him to the hospital for the IV fluids. Now I feel like a bad mom.

It's hard to know what to do when they are sick. My son had those symptoms at age 2 and I was very pregnant with our daughter. They wound up putting him on IV's at ho

Today my son told me there was a teacher at his school who looks like Moriarty. I begged him to take a pic with his phone but he said it was too risky. He has a point there. Now I'm thinking of sneaking there during break and take a look.

He's alive!!!!

It may have gone into protection mode I.e. protecting the owner. She needs to have a muzzle on it in public places now she knows there is a risk of it attacking and biting people. Luckily we don't have rabies in the UK so no worries there. I assume your tetanus jabs are up-to-date.

Poor you Molly. One of our dogs bit me badly a couple of years ago on my hand. Long story, but he gets possessive over things, I misread the situation when he had taken a portable phone and got one, big bite. I ended up with 10 stitches and antibiotics. Thankfully your clothes seem to have offered some protection.

I still love my dogs, the other one is a total sweetie with everyone but can be a typical terrier with some other dogs. I don't totally trust the one that bit me though. Sadly Springer Spaniels can be a bit odd like that.

I wish you a speedy recovery my dear.

Rage syndrome in your Springer?

I tend to point loaded firearms at my friends to protect them. Seriously though, he is very non-savvy with his loaded weapons.

I got rather concerned when he scatched the back of his head with the muzzle of his loaded pistol in TGG pool scene!
