I LOVE Fred and Ginger. They're delightful!!

Poor Olander! He's probably so homesick and missing his friends; the dolphin he gets into political debates with, and his penguin drinking buddies and that cute hammerhead shark he had his eye on. She's probably forgotten all about him now and moved on to that arrogant Great White. Poor Olander! Lonely and lovelorn!

I love that you have a "the guy who can break down doors and not get fired for it" where you work. Every workplace needs one.

yes, work wouldn't be the same with out darling-Andy-boy around.

I recommend every office and shop gets their own version.


I don't think Bessie (the hammerhead) has forgotten him at all, she's overlooking where he is, chatting and keeping his spirits up, even though Ron the blue whale is trying to get her attention like, all the time.

Its a twisted plastic love triangle...

I like the cool fishy thingies. I don't think I've everseen anything like that before.

2.0! Upgrades include bigger, better fridges, blenders and secret entrances to the basement Swimming pool. If you pull on the right book over there, the case opens up to a pole you can slide down and drop into the pool. Erasmus' Praise of Folly.

Orange Julius....We used to have those around here, haven't seen one since, well D*C. I think Ash(XanderlHarris) and I hit one at the mall down at Dragon*Con. I had a banana smoothie thingie. Yum Good.

Seryn: you were asking about trail mix back in the old nook. I posted there before I realized everyone had moved over here. So here it is:

-------------------------------------------
'do not fear me, ours is a peaceful race, and we must live in harmony'




Trailmix a collection of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit usually stored in plastic ziplock bags. This was the original snack food of wilderness backpackers, hence the name. Where I live you need only hike into the market or convience store to buy some. However there is a secret art to making the perfect personalized mix. M&M candies are often added, Japanese crunchy coated peanuts, chocolate, yogurt or butterscotch chips, shredded coconut, toffee peanuts, honey roasted almonds, rice crackers, seseame bites, are the nuts salted or not, are the nuts and seeds roasted or not. The one thing that can be said is every handfull of trailmix is a unique experience. I promise you that if you feed your horse this it will never run off and leave you. It is the sort of thing I leave hidden somewhere in the car in case I get stuck somewhere and have to miss a proper meal. Warning chocolate, yogurt and butterscotch chips melt when exsposed to extended sunlight as do coated nuts and raisins. Some people sprinkle it on top of ice cream.

If you have lost all patience Let me know and I'll tell you how to breakthrough the lock to rescue your whale. It will involve some tools.

thank you, I make take you up on that offer,

but is this going to get me arrested?

Orange Julius? sounds intriguing, some one mix a batch up, and pass me some of the trail mix, that sounded good too!

Fred and Ginger are just little darlings, they kind of hover round the tank and never make a fuss, they need special food, but thats the joy of this place.

if anyone from the Australian gorvernment calls, I'm not here.

Well if you aren't caught you can't get arrested, That's a joke, but it has a valid point. The option I have will destroy the lock, but if you do this with the understanding that you will replace it with a new one then those powers that be may grant you permission to perform the destroy the lock option. You may point out that the door in it's current state will not open no matter what and if this option works the powers that be will have gotten themselves a working door out of the bargain. This is a very drastic measure and you should consider and exhaust every other alternative first.

Oh yeah and I give you fair warning: trail mix is extremely habit frming. Look at Orpheus, he intends to eat 2 kilos by himself. One of the great things about the nook is the trail mix never runns out, never gets stale and is always the mix you want.

OOOHH! I missed the orange julius (es) at D*C! Next year I am definitely getting one. That mall food court place rocked. Wished I lived a bit closer to Atlanta.

Yay trail mix!

When I make it at home (I started doing this when I was a nanny for the kids, but I liked it so much I make it all the time) I like to add different flavoured goldfish crackers: parmesean, chedder, pretzel, and mini m&ms and cashews and raisins and dried cranberries and soy nuts and anything else I've got lying around. I love trail mix! It's the perfect snack. Sweet, salty and satisfying.

You can leave out salty for me, I have high blood pressure. I like the rest though particularly the roasted soy beans.

Oh by the way CMS I had a tracking beacon hidden on the glass door fridge so while you were out I got into your place nicked the fridge back and left you a big container of trail mix and a Orange Julius on the counter to show that I'm not all bad. I still offer you the option of rock, paper, scissors.

I fear not your food raids. I grew up with 2 bottomless pit sibligs. I keep my fridge well stocked with lots of wholesome, nutritious goodies. Organic, fresh squeezed juices, all natural nut butters, multi-grain breads, loads of fresh fruits and veggies. Have a slice of homemade carob cake! It's as close to chocolate as I could make it! And there's some tofutti non-dairy ice cream to eat with it!

Actually, I do eat all those things. I buy most of my foods all natural and organic and vegetarian and I make my own breads and whatnot. But I do have one weakness: CHOCOLATE! I am SUCH a chocoholic. I have a very large box of chocolates stashed in my closet. They were all birthday gifts sent from around the world from my lovely browncoaty friends. That's what I keep hidden in my closet!!

Your point is well made CMS. The devil is often in the details. I have made the flipside of that argument. I perchance encountered some Deadheads (camp followers of the Grateful Dead prior to the death of Jerry Garcia). They proclaimed, at great length, in no uncertain terms, with a reckless foolish abandon (that can only be found in youth) as is their wont, that the Grateful Dead is, was , and would always be the greatest band ever. I said that I thought that they were the greatest Grateful Dead. They were really stoned at the time so they didn't get my meaning, and that was, as ole Martha would say, a good thing, because I sure didn't want to get into to it with them at that point.

I find that one invites questioning.

its wasn't to bad, no-one was made to hug, and no one was offloading their angst on other people, so i'm kind of ok.

except that the tutor turned round and said that anyone who was only there 'cause their doctor sent them may as well not come back. (you have to reeeaaallly want it apparently)

so see now I have to go, simply 'cause he told me not too.

The NHS is the national health service, an absolutlely marvellouys utopian ideal of free healthcare for everyone, wonderful on paper.

Unfortunetly due to a succession of really crap goverments messing it about it is convoluted, inefficiant, inadequete, abused and shamefully mismanaged at every level. For instance, you walk into a private clinic, its their job to find out exactly whats wrong with you, no matter how long it takes, and treat you if they can. you walk into an nhs clinic and its their job to guess at what may be wrong with you, give you some medication that may or may not help and get you out of the door in under 7 minutes. because that all the government guidelines allow for. yet some how its still never free, unless you are on benefits (wellfare?) and don't get me started on the dodgy benefits system.

Is it helps, SR, your my favorite you, and JH, your my favorite you too,

and if one of those orange julius's was aimed at me, thank you!

Meh, things are just as bad here, or worse with our healthcare system, truuuust me.

I'm glad you FA meeting wasn't too terrible. I'm sorry you couldn't just walk out when the tutor said that anyone who was there because they're doctor made them could just leave. When teachers used to say stuff like that in school, I was always soo tempted to leave.

Count your blessings ... my experience with certain health providers is that they will not treat you unless you find out exactly what's wrong with yourself and tell them what to do. And then maybe get a patient advocate to bat for you. I could be still laying on my sofa with a f**ked up back if I hadn't taken the lead once. ( to the university med center!!)

**shoving bitterness aside** I'm glad your dealy went good last night!

Ask Dr. Science ... he knows more than you do.

maybe i should have said 'if you can afford it'

Its been my experience as well that the best way to get things sorted is to find out whats wrong with you yourself then go and tell the doctor, only you have to word it so that they think its their idea, or they get a bit pissy with you.

I'm not knocking the nhs, jeeze, i thank wotsits everyday that i live here and everything is so easy, even when i doesn't seem so, but i just wish for once the politician wern't so busy making themselves so rich that they would get around to sorting out a simple, viable system of operating, Its the same with the teachers, and the police and any one of thet ilk.

But enough of politics (i feel dirty) i have good news.

Olander is Freeeeeeeeee!

yep, we got him back today, he's all happy cuddled up wi' Bessie.

Some people came round to put up the christmas trees, so we liberated (read 'thieved')one of those sticks you use for opening high up windows from somebody's office, borrowed their ladder and fished him out!

yey yey yey yey!
