why is it that glasses equals ugly? And as soon the glasses are off she's beautiful?
And do people really have the Mendelssohn march played at real weddings?
(Yes, old replays on the telly.)

The white devil cat that constantly attacked my sweet old kitty- causing me to rehome the old girl just to save her from it- has now decided to attack my little black kitty.
I'm fuming. I know she's just a cat- but fer fucks sake. I hate that I don't have my one cat anymore- and now she's making my little girl's life a living hell. I'm pissed at her and pissed a Flash because it's his devil cat.
Is there a cat whisperer that can come save the day? I seriously don't know what to do with her.

There's nothing quite like going to a live gig is there?
Last night me and 30,000 others spent a freezing evening standing in the rain listening to some damn good music.
Liam Finn opened and was followed by Ben Harper who was both gorgeous and brilliant. Eddie Vedder joined him on stage for a rendition of Under Pressure which was my favourite song of the night.
Pearl Jam did a phenominal 2 1/2 hour set and finished off their tour in great fashion. Near the end Liam and Neil Finn got on stage and PJ helped them sing Better Be Home Soon and the Split Enz classic I Got You. It was like we were spying on someone's backyard jam session and it was fucking awesome.
As we left we peeked over a wall and saw the band being driven away ... Eddie Vedder wound down his window and waved.
Great night. I love concerts.

Poppy and her son Trent are in the UK on their round-the-world jaunt, and kindly came to Portsmouth for the afternoon despite a very short four-day stop in the country!
We had a lovely afternoon - took Trent to the police station where he got to play with the blue lights and sirens on one of the fast response BMWs; then we had lunch at a little French cafe (tartiflette or croque monsieur all round!); then home to meet Stella and have tea and cake, just like we Brits like to do!
I no longer feel like a loser - people I meet on the internet really DO exist!
They fly out to Hong Kong nest, having been to LA, Las Vegas and New York. They'll be home all too soon though of course!
(!!!! - too many of these in here, but hey ho).

Well, obviously a very important problem! For years I've been mystified as to how some of my socks magically disappear after doing laundry. I look for them everywhere in the washing machine and in the vicinity and they're nowhere to be found. Does this happen to you or it's just my crappy homemaking skills?

It is PISSING with rain outside, the boat's getting knocked about all over the place. It's been like this for days now.
I hope megs is ok up there in Cumbria, they've taken the worst of it.
I feel like the canal is going to burst it's banks in a minute. That would be a nightmare. It's nice and cosy indoors though.

... you knock over a HUGE glass of water onto your sofa at 3:30 am but you don't clean it up because you're too busy watching the 1990s TV remake of The Black Stallion dubbed into Italian (which you don't actually speak).
Oooops.

lately, there is a lot of talk of cancer here on WT. I was talking with my family today and i found out that our friend, a 24 year old woman has few months to live. we don't know exactly what cancer she has but it started this summer when she was visiting her boyfriend in Canada. Suddenly - within a day! she got a big lump on her neck. Went to the doc here, they run some tests and told her its cancer. 2 days after they told her she flew to Poland. Did all the tests etc... and there is no cure. This guy's ex girlfriend had cancer too but beat it.
My aunt is dying of cancer in Poland too. My cousin's friend died a month ago. She was 40. My friend's boyfriend ( only 27 years old) had cancer too. In remission now.
I mention to my family about this board and how many people are writing about it too. What is going on? Am I being extra sensitive because i read about it here? Or there is ...

or lack thereof.
after spending the last four-ish days with my family I wish I was adopted. then at least I would have some reason for feeling like a complete outsider all the time. am totally fed up. either ignored, or criticised, or told that whatever I say/think/feel/whatever "doesn't count" as I "wasn't there."
do you feel like you belong? I guess really I never do, but it smarts a lot more when you expect at the very least you'll belong with your family and you don't.
two days left.

As some of you know, I live and work in Africa. In the last couple of weeks, the weather has been cooling down and I've started walking places more often. Last week I noticed that after a ten minute walk I had a rash all over my hands and feet. Today I walked for an hour and totally broke out in hives, all over my arms and chest and neck. The weather is still hot and humid but it's not boiling hot...what's going on?!
Has anyone had this kind of rash before? I'm indoors now and within minutes of sitting down it's gone away.

Enormo cat is doglike in her desire to be around me all the time. Her favourite thing is to be curled up in bed with me, but if I have to be up she will reluctantly lie on the floor at my feet. It's very endearing and flattering and all, but aren't cats supposed to be independent and self-sufficient? This is my third devoted cat and I no longer subscribe to the 'cat that walks by himself' theory.

Have previously posted about my friend who is cross with me and has cut contact (though without telling me that this is the case). I really miss her. She is pregnant (about 30 weeks if I've calculated rightly). I want to send her a postcard saying I miss her. The one I picked has a woman wearing a giant eggshell out of which her legs and head protrude - another recently delivered friend said that at a similar gestation that was exactly how she felt. Would you take offence at this card when pregnant or find it entertaining? I have more 'neutral' cards if you think it is more sensible. The last thing I want at this stage is to give her more reason to be pissed off with me.

I need to take some cookie dough to a cookie baking afternoon tomorrow. The general idea is that we go there and make cookies, but I'm taking some gluten-free dough with me so I can join in some cookie-eating at some point.
The question is this: can I make pretty much any dough and freeze it when I get to the baking stage?
The idea being that I freeze it for a few hours and then slice the dough into cookie shapes and bake....I know some recipes call specifically for the dough to be frozen, but I only have a certain number of ingredients and no time to shop before I need the dough :o(
Edited by: whortleberry to add that because I have no time to shop I don't have the right ingredients to make a recipe that asks to be frozen.
