tsa: I found the books you mentioned after you suggested checking the Amazon.com site, which I should have done from the beginning. Sadly, can't afford to buy them just now. Perhaps after my own books have finally started selling to people I don't know, I might be able to afford to invest. Good luck with the books.

Step: There are only tentative plans to have books printed up using Createspace, which I've been stalling on because of the negligible returns I'll get going that route, and the rights issues I may or may not have to deal with. Selling cheap eBooks somehow makes more sense to me than selling dead-tree-ware at much higher prices and smaller margins for profit. Still, people like having things to put on shelves, so I'm sure I'll look into at least having them available through some POD scheme.

Also, glad the gas leak got taken care of. That must have been seriously heart-racing.

I think Lulu is ridiculously expensive, but on the other hand it's not fair to compare Lulu's prices to what you pay for a book in the shop. Anyway, if you like you can download Sophie's stories from my website, here.

I love being silly.

The plot is for squares.

That's what they must have thought while making Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. But it was still a thoroughly enjoyable movie.

Heh, only in Skyrim it actually adds a lot to the whole experience. It was already that way in Morrowind. Heck, I could spend hours just reading the *Books* found throughhout Skyrim. The lore of the Elder Scrolls is amazing, and that is what captures me. It's like actually being an adventurer, without the obvious risk of being mauled by Dragons, Trolls, Wolves, Bandits, Vicious Fish (I am afraid they might become the new Cliffracers, as I have seen them following me onto land. Their fins already look like little legs! ), and the occasional cannibal. Actually, I am kidding about the cannibals. They don't really maul you, they're actually quite friendly. They even made me their champion! Though I still hold the opinion that if my Dunmer eats human meat, that doesn't make them a cannibal - just unpopular with the neighbours. If I was eating some other elf, even if it they were not Dunmer but one of the other types, I'd say you could call my Yary a cannibal. But since I have yet to find a single piece of "Elven Meat" in the game, I highly doubt that will ever happen. There's only "Human Meat" items in the game.

Anyway, have fun not getting mauled, Hammykins!

Hi everyone, Pre-k is going well. We have 22 kids this year and I stay tired b/c of all the extra paper work and extra students that we have this year. My teacher and I have gotten a few kids that the other teachers have refused to teach and that has made our jobs harder. BUT all the same I love all the kids.

So that being said we have started our around the world activates again We are going to "visit" England, France, Italy, Mexico, Germany, Canada, Guatemala, India, Sweden, Poland, China and The Islands. Wow we have lots of places to visit. But as always pictures will follow after we have completed our around the world projects

Every time I do this project with my little ones, I think of you all that have sent me items and the kids LOVE every minute of it

You guys are the best, this is truly my favorite time of the pre-k year because I get to share all of you with my little pre-k kids

oh yes, please do

OK here we are:

You need for two persons:

2 chicken legs
Nutmeg
1 Onion, cut into rings
Curry (the mild variety)
A quarter green cabbage, finely cut
1 small coliflower, cut in fine pieces
100 g mushrooms, cut into chunks
1 tablespoon of maizena
1 tablespoon of soy sauce

Put salt, pepper and curry on the chicken legs and rub it in. This works better if you use a bit of oil to make it all stick. Then you fry the legs with the onion until they are nice and brown. Add water until the legs are half in the water. Cook until the meat falls off the bone. While that is going on you can fry the veggies together with the spices. First the green cabbage, then add the coliflower and the mushrooms. When the veggies are fried you can add the meat and the soy sauce. You then have to make a sort of thick sauce of it. You can add some bean sprouts if you like. Use chili pepper or other asian spices to make it taste the way you like. Serve with rice. "Om nom nom!" your family will say and then ask for more.

Oh thank you sweetie the kids are going to love it

I think, looking at the ingredients list, that you'd better use 4 chicken legs and then it's for 4 persons.

Finally my computer is fixed! It's so much more convenient than using my android or borrowing a laptop from the kids.
I'll pop by a lot more often now.

Well my friends we started around the world today and we started in England. The children had a great time. As always I will post pictures after the 2 weeks for everyone to see Thanks again ya'll

It's a strange world, full of coincidences.

Those who recall my problems just before Christmas will appreciate that it went on a long time. What I failed to mention at the time is that a number of Southern Gas staff ended up working forced overtime to deal with it. Now I know they get paid the overtime but it still can't be fun having to work overnight, especially so close to Christmas. I showed my appreciation with Home-brew on the evening.

This evening, after a long day at work (it's the busy time of year for my professon) I popped into the nearby pub for a pint. There was someone in there I recognised but couldn't immediately place. Turns out it was the engineer from that night, who actually lives quite close by. He remembered my appreciation of their efforts and bought me a pint.

Small world isn't it.

< thinks of you all as my good friends when asked who my friends are. <3
