THat's what my voice keeps doing :(  I woke up this mornign with a bad case
of laryngitis.  So, since I work in a call centre I called in this morning.
Can you imagine "hello, this is *squeak* Caroline *squeak how can I *squeak*
help you" lol

Sorry to have worried you all by being unusually quiet! I have not been
very well physically, unfortunately. My body has apparently decided it
just *not* want to cooperate...at *all*. My body totally shuts down when
it feels like it, putting me in some semi-unconscious state. It's ...

I have been looking for work for five months now and all of a sudden quite a
few have been advertised and *yay* I have two interviews. It got me
thinking.
Purely theoretical question but if you were offered a job you think you

OK, a post that has *nothing* to do with fast food restaurants...  ;-)
Max is nearly 9 weeks old.  He has been slowly becoming more and more
aware of the world, which is great.  Lately, he's been smiling up a
storm.  DH's department secretary called him a flirt, and I think she's

Ok maybe DH and I are being unreasonable so I need a reality check from you
all. My parents were invited to a baby shower for my great nephew.  DD and I

parents were more than happy to take DD (almost 6) ...

I'm thinking about making one of those cakes where you stick the doll in and
have the cake all iced up like it's dress. Are there any recipes/directions

Stolen from another group.
When I was quite young, my father had one of the
first telephones in our neighborhood. I remember
the polished, old case fastened to the wall.  The

Not the ng for this, I know, but I'm here at the moment and I need to
blow off some steam.  I'm so thoroughly disgusted with fast food
restaurants, and for *bad* reasons.  You would think that maybe I would
just care about my health and that would be reason enough to be turned

I haven't had any sleep since 7:00pm on the 3rd of November. It's now 6:43
am November 4th. I'm going to wake Alena up at 8. I have lunch cooking, the
dishes washed, the counters scrubbed, and the living room is currently being

At snack time yesterday the kids were informed that they were going to have a
presidential practice Vote today in class. So one girl said
"I am voting for Bush"
DD: "Why"

What are your favouriate nuts?
What age have you tried your child/children on nuts (not just peanut butter
