Many of you might not remember me... it's been a long, long year. But, I'm back! Hopefully, I can regain my position in the community, and make lots of money! :D

I just got my hand slapped! Have any of you gotten a call like this?

Woodpigeon @Woodpigeon (3710) • Ireland 13 Jun 07

The headmistress of my son's school just called concerning a t shirt he wore to school today. It isn't the first time he has worn it, but today 'Someone' complained. It's from the London Dungeon, and on further consideration I...

This book is wicked! In a good way!

Woodpigeon @Woodpigeon (3710) • Ireland 13 Jun 07

I just picked up The Wandmakers Guidebook for my kids and am very impressed with it. Have you seen these type of books before? We already have some from the 'Ology' series, like Egyptology, Dragonology, and Wizardology. They all...

I love my dog but...not the mess!

Woodpigeon @Woodpigeon (3710) • Ireland 13 Jun 07

Do people in your area pick up after their dogs? Do you? Does your local authority have or enforce any law related to dogs pooping all over common areas? Every morning when we walk to school it is like navigating a dog doody...

I am a Great Auntie!

Woodpigeon @Woodpigeon (3710) • Ireland 10 Jun 07

Again! Not just because my siblings' kids thinks I am the cat's pajamas, but my nephew's little girl has arrived! She was born a bit early and is doing very well. I have added a piccy of our little brown eyed girl, who weighed in...

Jellyfish season has started!

Woodpigeon @Woodpigeon (3710) • Ireland 8 Jun 07

Now, I ask you, how are you going to avoid something like that, with nearly invisible tentacles to boot? We had grand plans today of swimming in the sea for the first time this season and as the tide came in, so did the jellyfish....

I would just love to complain about my bank...

Woodpigeon @Woodpigeon (3710) • Ireland 6 Jun 07

but I can't. I used to go to Bank of XXXXXXX and would dread dealing with them. The lines were excruciatingly long. The people were needlessly difficult and often downright surly. I did business in there every single month, yet...

Flooding again. Good old unstable weather conditions!

Woodpigeon @Woodpigeon (3710) • Ireland 3 Jun 07

I know there is some debate about global warming, but here we are once again with sand bags to the ready, rubber boots on, and gathering old rags for the potential mess. When it floods, it comes in first through our front door,...

If you know a pack rat, sign in here!

Woodpigeon @Woodpigeon (3710) • Ireland 3 Jun 07

Take a look at the attached photo of my husband's workshop. How he plans on getting any work done here, is a mystery. Slowly but surely he has filled every nook and cranny of the house, and I have unfilled it right behind him! He...

Do you have a pair of binoculars?

Woodpigeon @Woodpigeon (3710) • Ireland 2 Jun 07

If so, what do you use them for? I sometimes use them at sports games, other times we use them for whale or bird watching. If you have a pair, what sort of things do you use yours for? Do you see what you are looking for? Have you...

Do you know a child who has had a series of scrapes, or close scrapes?

Woodpigeon @Woodpigeon (3710) • Ireland 2 Jun 07

Or, another way to put it is, how close have your kids come to putting their eye out? I thought my nephew scared me when he accidently ran through a closed glass door. Another nephew frightened me when he tipped back in a chair...

Don't tell me any secrets!

Woodpigeon @Woodpigeon (3710) • Ireland 1 Jun 07

Do you have to forbid those close to you to keep their mouths shut? I do, because I cannot keep a secret! Just recently I was told that some relative have bought my kids a freestanding pool to use when we visit, but I can't...

Woodpigeon @Woodpigeon (3710) • Ireland 27 May 07

My friend was diagnosed with breast cancer 4 years ago, and following a masectomy had been in very good health. We have all been looking forward to her 5 year milestone, which would mean she was more or less out of the...

Can you predict the weather with you aches and pains?

Woodpigeon @Woodpigeon (3710) • Ireland 25 May 07

Some say it's an old wives tale, and that you get more of a change in barometric pressure by riding an elevator. Others swear on their lives that they can tell you it is going to rain by the aches in their bodies. What do you...

Has anyone worked their way back up to a Nine Star?

Woodpigeon @Woodpigeon (3710) • Ireland 24 May 07

After the glitch or whatever is going on with Mylot, has anyone's star rating increased? My computer is either loading too fast or showing my cached rating, and as far as I can tell it is at 86/100. I am just wondering, are we...

For all you swimmers, do you flip?

Woodpigeon @Woodpigeon (3710) • Ireland 23 May 07

Time for another of my strange discussions! If you swim, you know what I mean by a 'flip turn'. I'll describe a freestyle turn, although every stoke has its own. You swim fast towards the wall, tuck your chin to your chest...
