I have pondered whether to post this or not, but I need the support and the prayers and even though I have never met any of you, you feel like friends to me. So here goes. On Monday, my husband went into the hospital for inpatient treatment of severe depression. We will find out more today, but chances are that he will be admitted into a program for professionals (he is an attorney) and will be there at a minimum of two more weeks. He won't be working for at least a month (he does have a job whe ...

My father in-law the other week tipped his walker over outside at church and fell and cracked his hip. Being he is 86 doctors view his mortality rate as not being to good now complicated by type 2 diabetes and all that goes with that. Surgeons put 2 pins in his hip. Lucky it wasn't a full break. None the less it's extremely painful for him to try and get up to walk. He won't be allowed home till he's able to be a lot more mobile. I can understand that part. My mother in-law certainly couldn't le ...

It's sorted now but after sitting and discussing various aspects of the crisis, including how long I'd get for murder <lol>, I said - "Let's go round to Currys to buy a DVD player." Well as you girls know, there's nothing like a bit of retail therapy to take the edge off life's little cares and woes. We went to Currys. Now Currys is a fairly large store, full of all sorts of electrical goods. I shy away from the white goods but I do like the TVs and CD players and mobile phones a ...

As a workshop sponsor, the San Antonio Express-News is reprinting the articles first published in You S.A., the workshop's newspaper, to showcase the teen journalists' work. About Allina Espinosa Seventeen-year-old Allina Espinosa has had to grow accustomed to a new environment since her move from San Diego two years ago. Yet her heart remains in California.

Rudd to set up work and family office Mr Rudd said a central focus of his government would be to examine ways to reduce financial pressure on Australian families, such as housing affordability, the rising cost of groceries, petrol and childcare. The announcement boosted Labor's earlier commitments to develop up to 260 new childcare centres on school sites, provide universal pre-school for all four years olds and invest in training quality teachers. He said the nation needed to debate the possibility of expanding outside-school care and encouraging businesses to create work-based childcare, perhaps through changes to the fringe benefits tax system. ...
School again once more The seemingly bleak picture of the Public School System being short of teachers that now demands administrators and curriculum supervisors teach regular classes in addition to their primary functions poses a challenge of critical proportion. Common sense wisdom has always tagged crisis as the mother of all inventions. Maintenance learning is a mode in a period of stasis. Change occurs dramatically as a response to catastrophe. The cliché that the only constant thing in life is change should give one and all permission to innovate at will and aplenty this year, in government and in the Public ...

Good old ladies Published last month by Dar Al-Ain -- the female- run new house -- San'et Latafa (literally, "an act of pleasantness": "Subtlety" or "Tact") is a collection of 22 essays on female figures from the early feminist Nabawiya Moussa, a contemporary of the better known Hoda Sha'rawi and Seza Nabarawi, to the singer Sherifa Fadel. A strikingly eclectic choice, indeed: these are not necessarily the best known or the most significant women in the history of modern Egypt, but they all mean something to the author beyond the obvious contribution they made to society, whether she regards it as positive or negative. ...
The author goes on to speak of Moussa's dogged stance against the British Occupation and the Nahhas Pasha government, which led to a military order by Nahhas to close down her school and place her under arrest in Alexandria's Foreigners Jail in 1943, where she spent ten months mainly in the company of prostitutes. Moussa was 57 at the time; and quotes from a satirical article she wrote at the time, "If only I were prime minister", make up one of the funniest aspects of Kazem's article. Moussa says she would choose the belly dancer Badia'a Masabni for the post of Minister ...
