Fleur Gosh you have got a lot written! I'm very impressed. Glad you persevered. Did you manage to earn back the $3000 you spent initially? Like many people I long wanted to 'be a writer'. And also like a lot of people I kind of thought it was something you could...

Good morning, friends. I woke up this morning and discovered another roach inside the house. I soaked it in Raid even though I did not know if it was alive. This is the first time in many years that this happens and I´m wondering...

Fleur A sedentary lifestyle is not good for us. Life expectancy is falling again in developed countries. Maybe our lifestyle choices will solve the world overpopulation problem in due course.

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 35 degrees F and dark here at the Jersey Shore. I hate going to work in the dark. . . . . . which is what I am about to do. It isn't even normal. Ugh. Long day of...

Fleur I don't like getting up in the dark either. Strangely enough I have no problem staying up after dark. Hope your day goes past more quickly than you expect : )

Fleur Do you mean a takeaway 'traditional Christmas dinner'? Or a takeaway of some other sort, Indian, Chinese, fish and chips or whatever? We are rather traditional here, we like our roast dinner (although we don't always have turkey, in fact I think we've only had...

Fleur We do want a hand - when we say we do. That doesn't mean just doing it instead of us. That's a very technical solution but you know what? It might actually work!

Fleur @shaggin @Orson_Kart As for the restaurant kitchen scenario, I would be a total disaster. I like to cook but it always takes me ages and I find it really hard to get several dishes ready at the same time!

Fleur @shaggin @Orson_Kart Multi-tasking is a myth. For a long time I thought I was just a failure because it was clear that it took me longer to try to do several things at the same time than if I just did them one after the other. Now it has been proven that that...
