Next week we'll have "Obama is President - All is well."
While the rest of the world sees "Israel Nukes Iran" :right:

Ive been work boot shopping....I'm feeling pretty sexy right about now.


...well.....'cept for the sweat in places there shouldnt be sweat.

The thing is, that's just the cover right? The contents of the magazine are not different are they? So, the articles about the unrest will still be there.

Maybe the US market is such that optimistic imagery sells better?

That's not necessarily some damning indictment of a culture of dumbing down. It's just a slight difference in what draws people to spend their money.

The contents are probably more similar than the cover is. Although I'm sure there are a lot of differences in the content too. When my family lived in Germany in the 80s, we got the international version of Time, and it had a slightly more international focus.

The inner content is the same, I imagine. I just finished a brief subscription to Time that I bought off someone's kid.

I know the story depicted in the Europe et al version is the same in the 'merkin version, because those are the articles I skip over to get to the good content: like articles about anxiety and movie and book reviews. And Joel Stein.

There's the question, would Joel Stein feature in ferriner issues of Time?

Google has updated the view of my house, from space, not street view. Looks like a couple of weeks ago. The neighbor was having a yard sale and our new shed was being built.

Same here one pic has a ramp and the other doesn't. Weird.

Well staellites go over regularly.
They can't have the cars out with the same frequency.

I have successfully weaned myself off my meds.

I just couldnt be bothered going to the Drs every 6 months to get the script refilled - so done.

Never fear, I have been weaning myself off for well over 2 months, so you are all safe.

Im just a tad grumpier at the kids, although that probably has something to do with the freaking neighbourhood kids being at my door every 2 minutes...or I may just be generally bitchy.

Come to think of it, I think my Mirena is due to be replaced, so it may be massive PMS since I havent had MS to be P about for nearly 5 years.

Sounds like all of the above to me.

Geez, if you'd been here 5 months ago we could have weaned ourselves off meds together. :D

Some funny google map picts.

My arms are cold!

Yes, I have a short-sleeved top on.
In fact two, once I started feeling chilly I did what any reasonable person would do, and put more clothes on. I have very few long sleeved tops. And I donated my three jumpers (sweaters) for Diz to sleep on last year.

I'm just not used to being chilly inside.
Brrrrrrrrrrrr!

Sleepy-bo soon.
I'll warm up then.

I was on my way to C-bus and passing through a town that has a number of beautiful old homes along the main drag.

I see a for sale sign. I see the house it's in front of. I want it. I want it badly.

(Of course I still want my log home in the wooded country, too)

I want to get it win I win* the lottery and have enough cash for what is probably high heating and cooling costs and upkeep.

But it's a castle! Look at it! Would you look at that?

*win I win, typo...i'm keeping it. It's sure to be prophetic.

Fantastic... must have a great cellar too... maybe, put together a coop of Dwellars ?

I saw on the realtor's site that it does indeed have a full basement.

5 bedrooms? It'll be the Dwellar Home Away From Home. We'll have parties and soirees and teas and luncheons and music and wine and song and and and...
