when i get a new book, i'll open it up to the middle of the book and stick my nose in the binding for about ten seconds, and smell how the glue, ink, and fresh paper smell.
ahhhh i love that smell.
Leolaia is right, sandwiches are less appetising for me when sliced corner to corner. I don't like buying those sandwiches in those triangular packs for that very reason.
I can make this loud humming noise in my ears by doing something in my head, I don't know what is is. Sometimes I make that a bass drum, and clicking my teeth together a snare drum, and hey presto - an in-head drum kit. Can amuse myself for hours that way.

as everyone had guessed, the election has been set for may 5th.
personally, this is my first opportunity 'post wt mind-control' to vote for our next government.
i don't suppose that i will - 40 years of 'neutrality' and non-involvement have rather flattened my desire to take part in political change.. how about you?
John Seargant - just remembered!
So Charlie with Brown... we're going to be ruled by Charlie Brown!
I've developed a new philosophy... I only dread one day at a time.ig.

Did AlanB get back to us about which constituency he was standing in? I'm fascinated, although perhaps he's uncomfortable about sharing that much info!
I'll prob end up voting lib dem as well, they most closely share my world view, although some of their policies I don't like so much. My candidate doesn't even have funny lips, so I'll have little toe's approval? Down with the funny lipped, I say! Down with Mick Jagger, Alec Salmond, that BBC politics guy who cocked up that interview with Thatcher etc etc.

i haven't posted much recently on the site but wanted to tell you about something bad that has happened.. some of you will remember me posting about my husbands very elderly grandfather.
we wanted to take him in to live with us when he was diagnosed with mild dementia but my husbands parents insisted that he go into a care home and conned him into signing an epa.
there reason for not allowing this lovely old man to live out his days with us was that their responsibility was to consider his 'spiritual needs' and since we no longer went to meetings we could never look after him ...so they stuck him, against his will, into the home.
You're damn right they deserve a funeral, and so do the friends and family of the departed. God, they're so important for everyone involved, events of huge psychological significance. I've had mostly positive experiences of funerals, if you see what I mean (i.e. sorry for the loss but glad for the life). You must feel robbed.
Boo to them.

just heard the tail end of the news that producing a "designer baby" for the sole purpose of using its bone marrow/organs to aid other suffering children is now lawful in england!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2928655.stm.
geeesh, what next?
This is a tricky one. I have to say that it's the sort of thing I'm instinctively against, but then when I read more about it I start to change my mind.
I think saying "Designer Babies" makes it sound more like genetic modification of embryos, when what they're doing is screening existing embryos for compatibility with their existing child. Well, you pays your money and takes your choice on that one, whether you agree with the ethics of that or not. Again, I'm instinctively against it, but you can bet your life that if it was my child I'd change my mind pretty quick.
The procedure the second child would have to undergo to donate bone marrow doesn't seem to be such a bad procedure after all. Certainly no organ harvesting going on! Have a look on this page, quite a way down, it talks about the experience of the donor. http://www.childrenshospital.org/cfapps/A2ZtopicDisplay.cfm?Topic=Bone%20Marrow%20Transplant
So all in all, taking into account the parent's emotions, the selection process and the transplant process, it's a whole lot less ghoulish than the newspaper headlines suggest. However, I'm still not sure I'm entirely happy with it, need to ponder some more. I sympathise with the parents though.

Oh dear I'm mightily embarassed! My banana description was a little *cough* graphic, now I read it back wasn't it. What was I thinking? I'll never look at a banana in the same way again.

Bananas. I peel them entirely, then I press along the whole banana, up and down, up and down, harder and harder until it splits lengthways into three (how to describe???) longitudinal sectors. I am unable to eat bananas in any other way.
Also, for my own amusement I can write in a mirror image with my left hand (I'm right handed). I don't know why I can do it, and I suspect that most people can do it as well. Just try holding a pen in either hand, and try to write the same sentence outwards from the middle. You can probably just do it without thinking about it. Does that work for left handed folks as well? Dunno.

That's not a website I frequent by the way, it just came up when I typed "face on mars" into google.

You want a lot of hits on your website, right? So just put "hits" on the end of the kjs, and there's your name. As far as I can find out, www.kjshits.com is as yet untaken.
