    It is interesting work, yes. Unfortunately, the people are often more work than their pets. I do love animals, especially horses. My plan is to be an equine surgeon. If that doesn't work out, then I'll still be perfectly content to be a struggling writer for the rest of my life haha.
    I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
    Waiting for a winter to be done.
    Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
    In all that I could never overcome?

    I think i saw you on the site a couple of times when i first started fequenting this site but you vanished for a while.
    Back for the dead eh! how does that feel? does your bones ache?
    righy nymph it is then!

    Yep back from the dead! Being an ex-archaeologist (i hate spelling that word!) you must be deeply interested in me now! u want to examine me sometime? Just to clear confusion im pulling your leg, i love men so....dont worry, we can still be friends!

    Hughes and Hughes? Lol. I can think of many jokes about that! Have u had anyone stealing yet? Is it a big bookshop? Do u get discounts? Lucky u!

    kathy-i had to pay a big fine too today! i really didnt want to but....oh well, if i wanted to collect this book i had to. spent ages debating whether the book was worth and than felt disgusted with myself-a literature lover debating whether a book was worth the money? tut tut! Lol.

    Women Drivers Straighter

    Many motorists would "conceal the truth" to help make a successful insurance claim.

    And men are almost twice as likely as women to lie by omission, a new survey shows.


    A total of 1,678 drivers were asked what they would do if they had failed to lock their car properly and the vehicle was stolen.

    Only 18% said they would give the full facts without being pressed, while 41% would own up to their carelessness if asked.

    A further 26% said they would resist telling the truth until they felt the pressure was too great.

    But eight percent would never divulge the full truth and seven percent would not say what they would do.

    The Welsh were the most honest, with 25% saying they tell all without prompting, compared with only 10% for those in north east England.

    Moneysupermarket.com insurance managing director Richard Mason said: "It's extremely worrying that one in three drivers would actively attempt a cover-up if their carelessness led to a claim.

    "People may not see the omission of certain facts as fraud, but if these facts helped lead to the claim then that's exactly what it is."

    He went on: "We would urge all drivers to tell the full truth. Insurance fraud is a criminal offence."

    Most surely, if you don't mind the "student-type" ? I was short on sugar this morning (I always forget to save money for groceries !), so I'm afraid they taste a little floury . Just take them with loooots of coffee .

    Welcome back, Opti !
    I absolutely love your avy .

    Thanks Grace and Schokokeks (just saying your name makes me choke!) for welcoming me back. It feels great. At one point I thought what is the point of all this? Such a time waster, I can live without it. Evidently not! So glad to be back.

    Not interested in dead men Nymph? You sure? You mean theres a difference between when their dead and alive? I hadnt noticed! And its ok to say these kind of stuff because no men should be here let alone read this! :-)

    I have no idea what it is that I've been busy with now that I think about it. That is the worst sentence Ive ever written. Guess between studying full time, working part time and familiy/friends and men Ive had little time for all my friends here.

    Asa Adams: hi. I want to applaud at you for having the courage to make such a lame joke! :-) But dont worry ul improve in no time! Men are always boys. Until they become old in which case their old men. Boy or old man. Nothing in between! :-)
