I found myself watching supernanny last night and thinking this childrearing lark might be fun... Congrats uncle Woddle.

I'm finally starting to feel somewhat normal after going straight from flu to a chest infection. I've slept or been drugged through most of November.

Welcome back - was starting to wonder if you had run away to Bueno Aires to escape your impending nuptials...

The water in the field behind my house (which is now a full blown lake / river) got to within a couple of feet of the back of my office but we escaped - unlike Shannon Banks, just down the road, where families have been evacuated :eek:

Should have taken those kayaking lessons from zuppylurk last year. I hope the water doesn't get any closer to you.

MrsA said teh exact same thing! I assume you're clear of the Cork floods?

Meant to tell you we had a mini flowergirl crisis last week - JnrMsA is in a ballet performance that is the same weekend as her scheduled flowergirl-ing. Loks like we're ok though - wedding on Fri and performance on Sunday but we nearly had tears at bedtime!

Congrats Woddle.

I have a strong dislike for all kids under 5 and over 12.
Maybe it's because they hate me too. Take that horrific kids.


Amadeus - i'd be more worried about the paint job rather than the water. ll jokes aside, hopefully it all turns out okay.

I hate children, but they love me...I think it's because I'm so small and they think I'm one of then.

Picketed for 2 hours this morning, some people go way over the top and have no common sense that we are picketing outside a hospital and some people still need to get in and out. .

metamorphosis

I ran by several picketers and by st. johns hospital they were all just huddled together in a hugging like fashion protecting themselves from the downpour ... except for one loon who just walked in circles with his sign.

I'm praying it'll bucket down rain this afternoon.

Got to the park this morning and the car park was locked , not sign of a picket go I guess it was ok to get my run done there

metamorphosis

Is it okay to be so excited for the great limk run that you are about to wet your slanket?

rainbow kirby

Well, a wet slanket might make a bit of a skanger deterrent...

okay this is pure off topic.. I got an invite to that googlewave thing - not convinced about it but wasn't doing much - I added a public wave for Boards.ie Athletics/Running/Triathlon if anyone wants to post there. See what it's about anyhow. To find the wave search for

with:public Boards.ie Athletics

from gwave. You'll need a gwave account and I don't have any invites.

I've got a few invites going spare at the moment if there are any ART'ists who want to see what this Wave thing is all about.

Invite sent.

It's kind of random as to if it takes minutes, hours or days to arrive though.

I have google wave but I don't know what it is. What is it?

Erm?

A very long video from when they launched it: Clicky

Apart from loads of geeks getting over excited in that video, they do eventually show a few cool things that should eventually be possible with Wave. At the moment the stuff I've mostly seen done with it is just variations on threaded messages, such as we are doing here, but with some instant messaging thrown in. That is not really what they designed it for though I don't think, but people are still figuring it out.

Collaborative work is where I think they were aiming for, with a bit of IM thrown in. But it's not quite there yet.

robinph

Just found this site which might give an idea as to what Wave is and what to do with it:

http://completewaveguide.com/

Not read through it myself yet, but looks like it might give a decent explanation.

You might already know this but just in case- many solicitors are also commissioners of the oaths or their signature will do on many forms where a commissioner is needed.
