I LOVE the flamingo pink idea! I want a blazing blue wig but only b/c with my complexion I can't pull off the pink.

can't wait for pics!

I just got back from the post office (lazy, lazy postman didn't ring the bell this morning, so I had to go & collect it). Turns out I bought Rose Red, not Flamingo Pink. Huh.

I'm still going to put it on though. Who knows, I might even prefer it. It does look a very pinky red after all.

I'm not sure I can pull it off with my complexion either.
But it will be funny to make Mum foam at the mouth anyway.
Ha - I might wait with my Mum the day before my sister's birthday (she works at the school just up the road from us). She'll froth at the mouth too

Hair in bleach at present, getting a little blonder in readiness.

When did I get smelly feet?

Ive never had smelly feet...Im sooo getting old and passed my use by, nobody's gonna want me now age is catching up and I have smelly feet.

Apollo · 03-27-2009, 05:25 AM

My friend has REALLY smelly feet, and she's only 19. So me thinks it has nothing to do with age.

OH and don't wear shoes without socks. I did that once and my feet smelled horrrrrible.

I wear heels all day, mainly open toed heels and have done for years....all of a sudden...smelly feet.

That's a sure sign of sex deprivation.

So I was out trimming the hugely overgrown bushes in the front yard today--no, that's not a euphemism--and as I was starting on the third overgrown monster I realized there were bees all around it. At any given moment I could easily see 50 of them. (This is a really tall bush/shrub thing, probably 12 feet tall and 10 feet in diameter, and it has little white blooms of some sort on it.) Does this many bees mean there's a hive somewhere close by? Do I need to do anything about it, beyond trimming the stupid thing back in the evening when the bees aren't out?

DanaC · 03-31-2009, 06:53 PM

May well be a hive nearby. Though they will travel quite a way.

It may be worth a phone call to your local apiarist society. They can probably advise you over the phone.

DanaC · 03-31-2009, 06:56 PM

Apparently, your local Agriculture Agent will know of local bee keepers who can advise on potential hives. The page I looked at said tol ook in your blue pages. It's probably worth it, just in case there's a queen setting up a new hive.

I thought I'd post an update on what's been happening at my house lately since at least one poster has noticed my lack of attention to the cellar. lol

Obviously, it's all because of Max! Newborns do tend to be pretty demanding that's for sure. He's a pretty good natured baby though. Isn't very fractious at all and generally settles pretty well. We're into a four hourly feeding routine now which is great, although there are some variations due to the minor reflux and subsequent hurls we have every now and then. On that note, I get great amusement from the fact that he seems to like spewing on his father. I think his father might need to spend a bit more time burping him. lol He'll learn...or forever smell like sour milk.

With regard to the feeding, Max is now on formula. My milk never came in despite doing everything possible to encourage it. He did breast feed for the first week, so he got all that lovely colostrum which is so important.

Aden and Mav are totally enamoured of him and cuddle him at every opportunity. They're really doing such a brilliant job of being big brothers and have injected themselves into his routine and care with great gusto. They make me so proud. I find myself misting up several times daily when I watch them together caring for their little baby brother.

So all in all, things are going well. I don't know what I've done to deserve such joy.
