Having a girl in Vancouver is tough. It seems like the
attitudes of young women have changed dramatically since I was a girl, and given
the
things that are shown on TV and movies
nowadays, it does not surprise me that more and more young girls are becoming pregnant at
earlier ages. What's a mother to do, when she's done all she can to help her
daughter understand the ills of society?

Best of YouTube
I don't watch as many movies as I used to. Largely because I'm less often
up for a 90-120+ minute commitment. Too lazy. I watch a lot of TV, especially PVRed or acquired from the netosphere.

Hidden Powers of Rain
Rain is the cure for life's
ailments; in the rain
your tears are guarded, and in
its noise your cries are not heard. Instead of loathing the rain today, I will embrace it for
its healing powers. _ I'm a mother, blogger, and fashion expert who enjoys ethnic dining and

Composting and You
Recycling is not only good for the environment, it is good for your soil;
composting is a great way to keep your gardens growing healthy and strong.
Remember to preserve all of your old food waste to add to your garden today!

Word Lotion
Some words are harder to absorb than others; today my friend called me a "dunce" in jest, but for some reason it stayed with me. -Posted by Lyn Valerie

Stomping with the Big Dogs
Whoever said that ra inboots are just for children told a really bad lie! I wore my rainboots
to work today, and received so many compliments that the shoe store called and gave me a huge
discount on a new pair! The power of word-of-mouth marketing is ever
present! I'm a mother, blogger, and fashion expert who enjoys ethnic dining and

Chocolate Rain
I love to embrace my husband when its raining. Thunder and lighting brings a
surge to our relationship, and ignites a spark in our hearts. After looking
at the forecast, I noticed that it is going to rain for quite some time; I
couldn't be happier.

Latest Toy
My latest toy-- no, TOOL. Bell Turbostick. Over the last week I've lost at least 25 hours of
productivity due to net connections I've depended on being down/unavailable.
I took steps. I'm home all day today and tomorrow, so haven't yet cracked
the box. Looking forward to it, though!

Battletech
You haven't played Battletech? You are missing an important Geek Badge. We can play from 2 - 20 players, but its best with 2 - 4 though. And we can also play a couple different ways: against each other or a cooperative campaign. Like other games, units go by points make sure each side is balanced. In Battletech, the points are regulated by tonnage. So playing against each other we would choose a tonnage such as 100. Then each player could play one huge 100 tonne mech or a number of smaller mechs adding up to 100 tonnes. Then we would start at different areas of the map and go at it. The less tonnage, the faster the game goes. Or we can play a senario where you guys fight against an enemy I control. I have a book with a whole campaign for players to take over a small planet starting with a dropship invasion. Its pretty cool. We could pick any senario in the book.I'm the one who hasn't played Battletech. I repent.
