Time In A Bottle

Okay, I admit it. I’m fast. Wait, that doesn’t sound right. I do things fast. Most things. It’s not so much that I’m rushing it’s just my normal speed. I’ve got a lot to do and there’s only so much time in a day. With a society that has express lanes for cars and groceries, I’m obviously not alone.
But why are we all in such a hurry? Where are we ultimately headed?
After a week in Boca Raton, Florida I’ve had to adapt. My grandparents are 91 and 87, and everything they do is S.L.O.W. Very slow. It takes a day or two of adjustment, and I try to walk with less pep in my step, take my time washing the dishes, and even attempt to drive the speed limit. “No need to rush,” Papa says, as I wait impatiently to pull out onto a busy street. “So it takes another minute. What’s your rush?”
“Yeah,” I think, “what is my rush?” Whether I move quickly or not, I will still arrive in Elderlyville, USA in the same exact amount of time. And while I’m definitely not in a hurry to get there, I know it’s inevitable. Unless.
Aside from eating healthy and exercising regularly, is there anything else we can do to prolong our time here on earth? Anti wrinkle creams tout keeping you young on the outside, but those lines have nothing to do with how long we get on this planet. Time is our most precious commodity, the one thing we cannot trade on the stock market and the one thing many of us take for granted. But not all.
While at temple with my grandparents for the New Year, an elderly man was called up to the bimah to read from the Torah. My grandfather excitedly said to me, “He just got married three weeks ago. He’s 92. His bride is 90.
“It’s not over till it over,” Nana chimed in.
The night before I was leaving Florida, a friend of my grandparents came by to visit. Her name was Lee. Lee is from Brooklyn. She loves to travel and still works part time as an office assistant. She walks with a straight posture, wears hip clothing and high heels. She’s an avid reader, swims every morning and even has a boyfriend. Her boyfriend is 64. Lee, who has a daughter that’s 67, is 91.
“It’s partly her attitude,” Nana says of Lee’s longevity. “And that keeps her young.”
Hhmm, maybe there is a secret.

A long way to the top

 

The whole day to myself and the whole of the summer holidays clutter to clear – not so much as a spring clean; more of an autumn appraisal, a radical-reorganisation and a cathartic chuck-out. (Somewhat delayed this year as university term has only just begun) I decided on a quick rush through all the rooms first, then one room at a time for a proper sort out – but I usually get distracted!
I started in the (f)utility, then did the kitchen (I’m somewhat frustrated that the new door knobs I bought do not fit the kitchen cupboards, but rather pleased by the addition of a new lamp and the repositioning of the radio) – then the ironing before a coffee break (yawn – the most boring job, alleviated by Women’s Hour on radio 4.)
Now re-caffeinated and rested I need to start again. Which room next? It really should be the room at the top. Techie’s room. I need to get it ready in time for his next visit home…. for the Christmas holidays.
I may be sometime!

A Brief Description Of The R4 Car

R4 DS or R4 Revolution are the other terms for the R4 card. It is a revolutionary card which increases the working capabilities of the Nintendo console and brings you to new heights with gaming and other applications. The R4 card is very useful and advantageous for Nintendo games, watching movies, listening to music, and even reading e-books.Available in different brands and dialects, the R4 card is a multi-purpose hardware. This becomes advantageous in that the card can be adaptable to perform in different brands and can be understood in different languages, thereby affording wide use in the international scene.As to the dimensions of the R4 card, it is similar to that of the Nintendo Wii cartridge. There is a slot at the back of each R4 card that can accommodate the Micro SD card for different applications. It is the Micro SD card which saves all the applications that you prefer to have in the R4 card. These may include modern and revolutionary games, blockbuster movies and popular music.Originally there used to be springs installed in the R4 cards to be used in putting in and taking out the Micro SD cards. But there were then problems encountered in so far as the durability of the springs were concerned, and so with modern technology, the latest R4 cards, also called the R4 version 2 cards, have been constructed with a slot where the Micro SD card can fit properly, thereby foregoing with the need for the card springs.Upon installation of the Micro SD card into the R4 card slot, and when the Nintendo console is activated, a menu of the different applications will appear on the screen. The menu basically presents the inventory of items which can be used from your Micro SD card.The choice is basically up to you in terms of what you want to do, such as playing your favorite high tech games, watching hit movies, or simply listening to your favorite tunes. Playing homebrew games and back up games can even be done with the R4 card, and the possibilities are almost endless.The hardware and software that is compatible with the Nintendo Wii are wide ranging and extensive. There are a lot of websites which promote and sell these items, and the R4 card is one of these products which are becoming popular to a large base of consumers. There are the newer versions of the R4 cards that are available in the market today, even though the original R4 cards have been dutifully phased out. The newer versions have the same dimensions and fit the slots much like its original versions.The important thing to consider is to be able to purchase the R4 card with the highest quality. This is because you of course would want to have only the one which would give you good performance and will do what you intended to do.

This isn’t getting my book read…

My book group meets on Thursday. That’s in three days time.
I have so far read only 100 pages of 500+ pages and had intended to spend much of today reading. It just didn’t happen.
I have the tail end of a nasty lurgy (as we in the business call these viral infections) with a sore throat and general grogginess, and this morning I slept in – not for long, but a few extra zeds were most welcome. I woke just in time to say goodbye, sleepily, from my bed, to Cycloman. Scout had already gone.
Then I had to check the blogs, do a few emails and a little paperwork.
Then the sun came out – and as my garden has been sadly neglected in recent weeks, I decided to do a few jobs outdoors. A few jobs turned out to be nearly 5 hours hard labour. I have come in exhausted and still no more of my book has been read. I want to read it, although so far it hasn’t really engaged me… I want to be able to discuss it on Thursday, properly, with insight and intelligence. Well with insight anyway. Today was my only real chance. I’m working the next three days.
So here’s the deal: I put up a few pictures now, then cook the supper, maybe catch up on the ironing, then I shall go to bed with the book. Early. If you see me on here tell me to go back to the book, for goodness sake. OK?
I would normally expect these to flower in July….
Greg (Houdini) at it again….
Lots of loverly spiders among the borders

and spiders’ webs bedecked with jewels.

You are 11 years held the same lies and impunity.

But what is angry just lack of information manipulation, deceit and mockery of the U.S. authorities, the Bush administration and the Obama theme, so once again proved, (...) , the rule of law in the world of mental patients organization.
