The Sticky Wicket

This is a story of a girl. A girl who had met the boy, fell in love, was asked, accepted, and made the plans - only to be told 4 years later that it had been a good ride. This is the story of a heartbreak. And the possible rebuilding of Rome from the ashes.

3. I am pleased that I am in an upswing of mood today.
4. I am happy to have a clean house this evening (even if I am the opne to have to make it so...)
5. I am astonished and happy that there is another adult being out there that likes mobiles as much as I do. Mainly astonished.
6. I am grateful to have seen a amazingly large and beautiful spotted eagle ray on this morning's dive.
7. I am grateful for milk returning to my refridgerator tonight (after I hit the store...)

9. I am grateful that one day soon I will have the time to remember how to make links. Time because one day soon, time will be my own again. For a while, anyway!

Mobiles as in a step behind windchimes? It's a very slippery slope there KC. Cheers & Good Luck! 'VJ'

Oh yeah, congrats on all the good progress KC. And try UHT 'shelf stable' [Parmalat] milk. It can keep for months w/o refrigeration. Cheers & Good Luck!, 'VJ'

Confesison: I like windchimes too. Not the dinky little high pitched ones, but the long tubed, low tonal ones.

I am scared of perishable items that have been shelf stabilized. Milk belongs in the fridge not the pantry, as does OJ.

But I'll probably try it.

Well the non dinky wind chimes are a bit better than those damn 'tinkly ones', at least you can get them with real tones. Some can be tuned too. But UHT milk is a godsend for tropical climates where refrigeration or electricity is spotty or only available for hours a day. You only refigerate it when you open it. And it lasts a bit longer than regular milk. On the shelf, unopened, it can easily last for 3-6mo or more. Europe has been using it for decades, I've been using it for about a decade myself, with no ill effects. Well not many, there's the loss of libido, the ambling gait, and that growing hairy lump between my shoulders that glows when I sneeze, but other than that I'm mostly fine! Cheers & Good Luck!

I rarely laugh outloud to something I read, but I surprised myself with a loud guffaw when reading this. Phew...I needed that! Thanks!

And I am really excited about the hubub I am going to cause when I bring my chimes back in my carryon! I bet my super long chimes look like gun barrels when they go through the TSA machine. Here's to quickened heartbeats!!

Geez, Don't even attempt it KC. They'll have you stripped searched in a heart beat. With you screaming 'But it's only windchimes', and the HS staff cackling away as they grab out their cams and whisk you away to the back room to have their way with you. Just ship them back. It's almost a sure bet that you'll be stopped and searched. They may even confiscate the buggers just to be safe. You know just how dangerous music can be on the mainland. Leads to all sorts of trouble... Cheers & Good Luck! 'VJ'
