shirl asked:
to make a standing form that I could dress up for the different holidays, and just change the heads & costume to coincide with the season, .. I’m thinking maybe out of pvc pipe or dowels etc. Somewhat like the scarecrows and ghostley characters that you see this time of year. I’m thinking life size.
For the heads I’ll use the CabbagePatch Doll plan. Stuff nylon hose and sew in the features add eyes etc. Have done several heads already.

icu812 asked:
I’m convinced I don’t need an adjustment in my psycho drugs, that I just have a pattern of getting moody and sad at this time of year every year. No drug can fix it. It’s “all in my head”! I take my Seraquel and Topamax religiously as directed but I still get depressed on my birthday in October every year and it lasts until March (throught the tough holiday season which is touch for a whole lot of people). There’s got to be another answer besides more drugs! Any ideas??

Babylove asked:
I KEEP getting spiders in my house especially the kitchen, bathroom, front room and my bedroom where there is a vent. I find like 3 in my house everyday and they’re big ones! Its not one specific type of spider. Sometimes i get HUGE ones like the size of my hand (with legs) that are black and visable on a wall etc, But sometimes i get BIG ones that are see-through and camouflage into the wall paper etc. And sometimes they are black with light brown patterns/stripes on (fury looking).
Last week i found a HUGE black one on my wall in my bedroom and a fury looking one on my ceiling! Ever since I’ve been sleeping on the sofa, as they disappeared and I couldn’t find them in my room.
Tonight i come down to the front room to sleep and found one of the camouflage-types on the wall. I’ve killed it but now i can’t sleep!
Does anyone think these types of spiders may be dangerous/poisonous?? They tend to come out in the coldest parts or winter and during summer from like July-September.
A few years ago I went to America on holiday, there was a HUGE spider near the pool that was fury and looked like a baby triangular it could even swim! When we come back there was a spider in our suitcase. Ever since we’ve had a massive spider problem!!

I spoke to an airline pilot a few weeks ago, and he said that he was going to be away for 4 days and 4 nights, and then he got three weeks off. Is this a normal work pattern, or was this just because he was taking holiday off?
This was a British Airways pilot BTW.

Why do so many of us let good will last for a few weeks and then right after the holidays we go back to our dog eat dog existence? Why are these fellings so short lived and why do we revert back to our normal pattern of behavior?

Joan R – anti-bullying Lioness asked:
Without being continually harrassed and badgered about it for simply asking for *some* advice and support over issues which *may* seem “trivial” to some but are of worry to those of us who follow the news (which many parents these days cannot as they are too busy with their “careers”).
Examples : Teflon-coated clothing has *not* been proved to be safe – that is why the “cargo shorts” that my daughter-in-law bought for my eldest grandson last Summer for school were labelled “stain defence” *not* teflon (and they were not suitable for schoolwear anyhow).
Children *do* need an adequate amount of sleep for healthy growth and also a bedtime routine which ideally should not be changed for weekends or even holidays as patterns need to be set.
Children should not sleep in just underpants as it gets cold at night (even in Summer) and if they kick off the bedclothes they could get a chest infection – that is why pyjamas were invented!
I could go on but please could other Grandparents and decent parents too try to see things from a (loving)Grandparents point of view?
Given that I sucessfully raised four boys on my own don’t I at least deserve some respect from my daughter-in-law and other modern-day parents? -
The “Disneyworld Thing” is nothing to do with me – it is one of the childish,inconsiderate “clones” attacking me.
I have one indentity and one only and my joining date is 30 December 2007 not last night!
I also don’t see why an *eight*-year-old should have to do an hour or more homework *every* night and more at weekends too – teachers should be brought to book over that too as well as the parents who listen to their “advice”.
At eight year’s of age my boys were out playing in the fresh air not slaving over books – plenty of time for that later in life!

All holidays I have been sleeping at 2-3am and waking at 12-1pm. I wanna be awake by 9am at least, and I need to be awake at 7am for school. Is is a good idea to stay up all night tonight and go to bed at 9pm the next day? Will this kick my sleeping patterns into shape the fastest? I also need to remain awake to do lots of homework!
