[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 252327, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Kjs, good to see you this morning. I hope the garage isn't too wet. Sorry to hear difficult child isn't keen on school. Seems to go with the territory of GFGness, I think. Esther, how does one greet a person during Purim? Is it a sort of Passover-prep? Or something independent of Passover? Whichever it is, consider yourself appropriately greeted for it. I'm glad you're finally getting the weather you want. Those vol-au-vents sound fabulous! I've got a gourmet caterer's supply place near where we live, I can buy pre-baked vol-au-vent cases in bulk, ready to be filled. Sharon/WO, I'm sorry you're still in pain. Is it possible what you thought was coming from your neck vertebrae, is actually swollen glands? They really can hurt that much. Stay safe on the roads, with the bad conditions making it risky. We had a quiet day here today, difficult child 3 worked moderately well. difficult child 1 turned up to mow mother in law's lawns, it's a paying job which he needs. And she needed someone to do the job who wouldn't make a mess of it and mow over her favourite plants. We finally saw the Dr Phil Octo-Mom episode (part 1) and tonight we're watching "Good News Week", an Aussie current affairs quiz show run by and starring stand-up comedians. I would post the link to the podcast for you guys, but this episode is a bit rough... and Aussie TV doesn't censor very much at all. But it IS very funny, despite being crude at times. Of course, difficult child 3 doesn't get any of it. Thank goodness. Aussie TV is in a flap over our Prime Minister having said a four-letter-word on live TV last night. After what we're hearing tonight on Good News Week, what he said was tame. But the problem isn't what he said - it's claimed to be because it WASN'T a mistake, but a deliberate 'slip' in order to appear more human and less robotic, and to appeal to the blue-collar workers of the country (who are beginning to feel the pinch of the world's credit problems). I think it's interesting - the worst thing the critics can say of our current political leader, is that he is trying to appeal to his constituents! Oh dear, I think our opposition is scraping the bottom of the barrel... I suspect next weeks' Good News Week will be an interesting episode. Enjoy your Monday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
