Thanks everyone. 🙂 » Posted By Kalima On March 11, 2010 @ 3:01 pm Site Maintenance Underway – Now Completed! 😆 I can’t do a lot of things but I know how to put on and shut down my puter. My head was spinning when AdLib told me to reboot my computer, I spent ages just looking for some tough boots in my shoe cupboard to kick my Mac in. Btw, I just deleted 2 of your youtube “Siamese” videos. » Posted By Kalima On March 12, 2010 @ 2:58 pm It would be more fun to collect stamps, says the resident technofart. » Posted By Kalima On March 12, 2010 @ 2:35 pm We are in your hands Wizard. Good luck! » Posted By Kalima On March 11, 2010 @ 6:35 pm This Big Change Almost Sneaked By 😆 K, maybe we need to soundproof our house soon. Btw, I really think that it’s going to pass and I just saw video of Dean speaking to a pro health demo crowd in DC on CNN and was really delighted. Something has changed and I can feel it’s something good. » Posted By Kalima On March 11, 2010 @ 2:02 am Be careful what you wish for, I miss my sister’s nagging. She would have dragged me there by the hair by now thinking that everything was in my stubborn Taurus head but this time it’s just a fear of the unknown and the thought of the disappointment if it didn’t help or they told me it wouldn’t help. I’ll let you know when I hear the “starter gun.” » Posted By Kalima On March 7, 2010 @ 8:25 pm I might just need that little push from you if I don’t get off my behind to do something about it. It’s not that I’m lazy, it’s just that it seems as if I have spent so much time waiting in hospitals with this illness and disk hernias in my early 20’s that they thought of going these days makes me shudder. You are right, I want to try to get back to reading all my wonderful new books, I haven’t read the two Obama books I bought at the beginning of last year yet. When I’ve decided, you will be the first to know. 🙂 » Posted By Kalima On March 7, 2010 @ 8:15 pm kesmarn that is awfully sweet of you and I know that I should have gone years ago but the story goes like this. I have a condition with my middle ear where liquid has drained from the lymph node into the ear inself. I become violently sick and fall on the floor when the room starts to spin. In 08 I had a violent attack that led to an hour of vomiting, when I woke up the next morning, I had black streaks falling in front of my left eye and went to check. I had ruptured a capillary in the left eyeball, it took about a month and a half of visits to the clinic before the specialist declared that my eyeball was debris free. One week later it felt as if something was stuck to the lens, I went back but they couldn’t find the cause so I stopped going. Now two years later it is much worse and I know that I should go again. I’m very sensitive about my eyes because as a kid I went blind for two months and had to endure almost daily visits to the hospital. My sight returned but was poor and now even putting something as simple as eye drops in my own eyes, freaks me out. As I replied to Khirad, my passion is reading and I’m lost without it, I just need to gather some courage for a consultation. I know I’m being a pussy, I’m sure it’s nowhere near as painful as my regular aspiration of water from my knee but still the close-ups in that program scared me enough to keep me away from the clinic. I will gives it some serious consideration from now on, I promise. Thank you once again for your concern. » Posted By Kalima On March 7, 2010 @ 7:34 pm It used to be books for me too Khirad, I love bookshops. I have about 50 unread books in a box in our JR waiting for the time when I can forget about the very graphic tv program a few years ago about laser surgery to leave my mind so I can make the effort to check if it will help the loss of vision in my left eye. That program did a lot of close-ups and was the source of many nightmares for months to come. » Posted By Kalima On March 7, 2010 @ 6:36 pm 😆 I know! *hangsheadinshame* 😳 » Posted By Kalima On March 7, 2010 @ 6:19 pm I have a room full of what I call “stress reducer” buying, it is now called the “Junk Room.” It all started innocently enough by buying make-up and underwear on “feeling off” days and escalated over the years to things that I don’t even remember buying. Since the beginning of this year I made up my mind to tackle it before things began to fall on my head and tackle me, I’m still working on it in fits and starts. There were things exposed under the heaps that I really can’t remember buying and if I did, why on earth did I? One of my New Year’s resolutions was to stop buying stuff we didn’t really need and to stop buying two of everything just because I couldn’t find the first one in that awful JR. I must say that I’ve been pretty good this year, refusing to turn on the tv during the day to watch my two 24 hour shopping channels. When I get my “stress” urge, I go upstairs to the room from hell to throw things about or throw things out or stick a towel in my mouth to stifle any screams, then eat chocolate, something I only do very rarely and never on a daily basis. Maybe I’m on the way to recovery, you never know. Tomorrow might just be one of those days again. The funny thing is that the excitement of waiting for something to arrive is lost a few minutes after the parcel it opened and I hold it in my hands. Hello! My name is Kalima and I’m a recovering consumption addict. » Posted By Kalima On March 7, 2010 @ 5:15 pm There are stories here almost every day that would make you weep. The Japanese are basically quite dumb and uneducated about birth control so there are many “Shotgun” weddings here. After a while having a small child becomes a burden, the kids are still kids themselves and have no idea how to raise a child, hence the recklessness, selfishness and neglect as they do what they want to do. Some people just shouldn’t have children, the stories on the news here are heartbreaking, you wouldn’t even think of treating an animal this way if you were normal. » Posted By Kalima On March 7, 2010 @ 4:39 pm The story about the S.Korean couple was big news here. One reason is because every year, Japanese leave their babies and small children locked in their cars at the peak of summer temperatures here, while they sit in air-conditioned “Pachinko” game shops for hours. Many of the babies and small children die in temperatures that reach boiling point. I’m sure that even with all the yearly warnings, this same tragedy will happen over and over again here this summer. » Posted By Kalima On March 7, 2010 @ 4:07 pm Let’s be our OWN “Moral Majority” Ok and I didn’t suggest that you wouldn’t exercise your right to vote, I said that I don’t have much patience with people who don’t. Why make such a broad sweeping statement about how people don’t fall on their knees every morning to thank Obama. It sounds very much like the rhetoric used on HP during the primaries against Obama. However to think less of people who truly believe that he will make a difference in his term is unfair to the people who believe it and to the man himself when even I, so many thousands of miles away know how the Senate is almost at a standstill due to Republican obstructionism. So obviously, Obama is just a man and not God after all. » Posted By Kalima On March 7, 2010 @ 5:43 pm BT, contrary to beliefs I don’t live in the North Pole and I know that there were many who didn’t vote for Obama. If you vote or don’t vote is really not my concern but I find it to be a case of cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face and a cop out. In December I will have lived in this country for 30 years, I’m not a citizen so have never voted. If I had voting privileges I would always vote because I care enough about my life here, I would want for things to change to make it even better. I have no time or patience with people who say they won’t vote because they want their own way. I thought that progressives were supposed to care about others, what about the rest of your over 300 million people, don’t they count? » Posted By Kalima On March 7, 2010 @ 4:28 pm So what is evil about President Obama, I think some of you really deserved McCain, then you would have had something to complain about. The grey hair is not what is important, it’s what he has already done that he gets absolutely no credit for that is. I expect the term”lesser of two evils” in developing countries and not from citizens of a country who still call themselves # 1 on many occasions. » Posted By Kalima On March 7, 2010 @ 3:32 pm President Obama was the lesser of two evils when his hair is already turning grey in just a year to get the country on it feet and cares enough for the people to introduce HC for all? I’m sorry, I really don’t understand what some Americans want or expect. Seems that the man just can’t do enough, even though he has done more than any President since Roosevelt. There are so many countries all over the world that would give an arm an a leg just to see a quarter of the legislation he has signed since he took office. Patience is a virtue and no one can always get what they want.
» Posted By Kalima On March 7, 2010 @ 2:34 pm A Coalition of Church and State – Part 1 All I can say is wow Sue, first for all of your hard work and research, then for showing the very profound problem you have had and are having with these mostly wacky people. They just don’t seem to be wired properly at all and their beliefs are just cultish, making absolutely no sense or resembling anything remotely Christian to the rest of us Christians. An eye-opener and thank you. I look forward to learning more in your following articles. » Posted By Kalima On March 11, 2010 @ 4:18 am kesmarn, since “Baby” has never been a word I would use except when addressing my cats, that might be hard for me to do. My friend in NC started our email friendship by addressing me as “Babe” I soon stopped that. He then used “Sweetie” which I stopped because it reminded me of Neo on HP. » Posted By Kalima On March 7, 2010 @ 7:10 pm kesmarn I’m glad that I don’t own a mobile phone, it would be utter chaos. Here in Japan you say “Hajime mashite” when you meet someone for the first time. It literally means, “Happy to meet you for the first time.” I have said it endlessly to people I already know when I’m too lazy to find my glasses, I can’t imagine what they tell others about me. 🙁 » Posted By Kalima On March 7, 2010 @ 6:29 pm 😆 so I did! Blind as a bat and proud of it, not really though. » Posted By Kalima On March 7, 2010 @ 6:14 pm Drunk and disorderly “anything” is bad for me. Hubby hasn’t offered to make a drink for me since Christmas Eve. I’m still on probation. 🙁 » Posted By Kalima On March 7, 2010 @ 6:01 pm If you saw the way I weave even without one drop to drink, you would know that you have hit the nail on the heat. 🙂 » Posted By Kalima On March 7, 2010 @ 5:56 pm Cher, I wouldn’t be so sure about that, even waiting for a train while drunk has it’s dangers.
» Posted By Kalima On March 7, 2010 @ 5:49 pm Vox Populi AfterChat – 3-5-2010 🙂 I’m glad that I’m not alone but so annoying and how dare they change it into question marks. How very rude!! » Posted By Kalima On March 6, 2010 @ 10:18 pm I do and I would. Good night Sue and take care. » Posted By Kalima On March 6, 2010 @ 10:02 pm It’s a first for me so take the credit. I didn’t see bito today but will pass on your Hello when I see him. Good night. » Posted By Kalima On March 6, 2010 @ 8:53 pm 😆 Your flattery consumes me. As for my Chinese, I spent 2 weeks in Hong Kong years ago, does that count? » Posted By Kalima On March 6, 2010 @ 8:49 pm Good night kesmarn, thanks for the laughs, especially the “man-tan” down below on the thread. Rest well and take care. » Posted By Kalima On March 6, 2010 @ 8:46 pm I thought that I would shock everyone with my knowledge of Chinese???? and look what happened, oh the shame! 😳 » Posted By Kalima On March 6, 2010 @ 8:39 pmComments Posted By Kalima
He’s called me a few other things too but it’s now progressed to “Toots” I really don’t have the energy to fight about this any longer and it’s much better than the usual Japanese term of endearment which is “Oi” and means “Hey you.”
