2008, after all not so bad

[Alex_B]

After all the New Year's rants, some anti-rant from me

Since Friday I could hardly move because of my back, which then only slowly got better, But today, I went running in the morning and it actually worked out without pain

a beautiful day over here by the way, quite cold, still some ice on the puddles, but sunny!

57.9 million people die each year

158,857 people die each day

6619 people die each hour

110 people die each minute

almost 2 people die every second

Wow, what a bummer. The trick is not being one of the 57.9 mil this year, huh?

Glad to hear that Alex. Need to get back into my running again, sorta stopped after returning from Cyprus in the summer.

Now where did I put those Asics trainers...

You are right: it is not quite so bad any more. Look what I happen to see this minute when I turn right and look out of the garden-side window of my study:

You might only see leafless bushes, but do you also see what is best???
THE SUN IS SHINING! Yay.

And hey, Alex, I am happy to hear that hot, foamless baths have helped cure the strained back! Never again put big boxes up into the attic at Christmas!!! You hear me?

Sun's out here today as well. Then it'll be rain with snow on Thursday. I like snow.

Lets look on the bright side!

Eventually there will be no room left?

 

[Lisa B]

well, put it this way, it puts ahole in re-incarnation coz there just arent enough people dying to go around the new borns!

Unless this is why we end up with a lot of stupid people all being like split in two upon re-entry

Multiple personality disorders are becoming less frequent. Coincidence?

I think you might have a point...

Who said that?

That is too many then, considering the dwindling resources of earth.

I do not consider that the bright side ...

Youve actually got a study? I want one of those! A nice and cozy personal library with a fireplace :thumbup:

We got a break in the gloom yesterday and today too, but it was down right COLD today
