I also have an overwhelming sense that this is the place I am meant to be. Hubby would love to move to Wyoming (yellowstone vicinity) but it would take soooooo much time, money and effort, lots of preparation that it is almost a moot point. I have deep roots. I have truly settled.

Raven

HAHAHA! Love the pun! Unfortunately for me it is going to take time for my body to adjust to my current shift pattern. I work weekends at least twice a month. Ever wonder what the long term effects will be? Have you seen a pixar movie called wall-e?

Raven

<t>It is the graphics and storylines that I find most compelling! But I have noticed one thing in particular....I find it next to impossible to create and play a character against my own nature! I am always playing chaotic good or paladin types even when its a bloody mage or rogue for crying out lou...

Born adventurer, me. I have the best reason of all to stay...married an englishman.

Raven

<t>Indeed so true, my friend. I find myself battling inclinations to turn off all that is around me and spend time looking at a screen that prevents my brain from shutting down properly by depressing natural melanin (which allows us to sleep) and working shifts REALLY gets my insomnia cranking. But ...

<t>Okay...I have lost 7lbs in the first week of my diet. (2.2kg or 1/2 stone) 2 slim fasts a day with fruit/veggie sacks and a beaned up salad for dinner. cut sugar in coffee by half, and NO bread. LOTS and LOTS of water. I intend to introduce weight w...

<t>Is it not funny how we survived so happily when life consisted of rotary phones, easy bake ovens and daleks were frightening? My life now has evolved to a lap top, kindle fire, blackberry torch, etc. As i was doing some cleaning i came across an old sony walkman (plays casse...

Raven

<t>Well let me start by saying I am very happy to see you all again! It has been a really not so good year for me. Beginning with last year (2012) turning 50 was truly horrid. I found myself being bullied by some of the worst types of nurses in the NHS. And these (cough) ladies were in p...

Good question. Everything you read and hear is just someone else's opinion.

Yes it can get worse. France owns the Dartford Bridge, and Dover port. Germany owns Arriva bus service and Spain owns BA. Greece could forget the Elgin marbles and buy parliament.

It can get MUCH worse.

We have a 125% Northern Rock mortgage. We have never missed a payment. But I am heartily glad that my mortgage belongs with a different arm and not the one going to virgin! WORST company in the world to deal with!
