WHOOPS! 
Let's see... I turned the dial back on my GMT Switch-o Chang-o Time Machine to December 4th, but I must have attached the dial backwards, which advanced the year to 2008 (?), ...uh, ...erm ? Hmmm, ...green wire on green, white on black... Dang. ...Where is Inventor when you need him?!
Anyhow, Happy 59th Birthday one day late Lau! Don't worry, I'll have everything fixed by your 60th....
PS: Are you dizzy? (Having spun around the sun that many times?)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAU!! !! 
Sorry so late mini-reika has had the computer all night yesterday.
If I knew how to do all the cool pictures here for you I would.

Well, they "commanded" me to attend court to give testimony. I arrived, and they had me sign an affidavit in front of a notary (of my sworn written statement), and "commanded" me to leave (will inform me later of the outcome). (Why do I bristle so at the words "You are hereby commanded..."? My reaction when reading those words was "Oh yeah? Bring your bad "commanding" self!! !"
Something inside me knows that I will grudgingly do things when "commanded" - if I decide to - but if I decide otherwise there is no one on earth who can "command" me to do anything I don't want to do, even on penalty of death. On the other hand, I willingly and eagerly do anything reasonable if someone asks me politely.
Anyhoo, enough ranting. Luckily I have returned home in time to talk you out of this scheme Lau! Due to studies in the PHA-4 gene (longevity gene), Andy Dillin at the Salk institute may soon have all of us living 250 years - at the least.
We cannot have you living 250 more years in an advanced aged condition! 
Let's slow your aging - [cut back on simple sugars and cut your calories to 1800/day (you know, starve yourself so that life seems to go on forever)] - until the protein cure arrives. Then you can make nanobots for at least 250 years. Maybe as many as 1000 years. (Won't that be fun? Working for a millennium?) If this actually comes to pass, I shall take a hundred years to swim to England to toast you on your 300th birthday. (I'll be the barnacle-covered shark-bitten bald man in the corner of the pub).
...'til then, you must abandon this mad plan of yours! (Quick! Spit out that sugar-laden birthday cake!)

Can the time machine just take me past this week and then let me off? I'm having some bad karma going on.
On Monday, my border collie thought it was too cold to do his business outside and I ended up cleaning the basement carpet. (He ended up staying outside in his dog house, silly dog). I received a phone call from the school counsellor advising that I take Kid2, the one who doesn't have AS, to a therapist because he is having severe anxiety issues. And the Kid1 was home with the stomach flu.
On Tuesday, Kid2's throat infection came back and Kid1 was still sick. I was walking to school to pick up lil'girl and slipped on a large patch of ice on the sidewalk and fell. I didn't realize that I hurt my back until just now when I reached into a high cupboard, felt a muscle tighten and now can't walk straight.
Today, Kid1 is still sick, Lil' girl has a bad cold and is home, and Kid2 had to see the doctor. As I was driving him to school, the little dog had a bout of motion sickness and threw up on the seat of the van.
I think I need to file a compaint with the powers that be. 
In case someone thinks I'm rude for not wishing Lau Happy Birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY again, Lau!!

Put the dogs in the bathroom. Keep all the kids home for the rest of the week, all go to bed, and have whichever one of them is healthiest make chicken soup for you all. Deal with it next week - sounds like all need a vacation.

(Merle did it). (It's all that astrological prognosticating and mantic dabbling she practices that binds our collective fates).I BEG your PARDON??
Once-every-13 years or so expansive Jupiter meets healing Pluto in the heavens. This is the month. They are both in Sag now and will meet on Dec 11. That means the Force is with us to improve our lives and to benefit from new ideas and experiences all month long. Jupiter wants to grow. Pluto rules death and rebirth. He is the transformer. His link-up with Jupiter supports opportunities and events in our lives that can bring lifetime benefits. So this is a good time to work with healers, consultants, lawyers and professionals—the people who can help you.
so go for it, Chuckie boy!
Merle
I'm just taking a little break from healing the heavens while ruling death and rebirth and all that,to join in wishing Lau a Happy Birthday

Or I could have the dogs stay at the boarding kennel, ship the kids off to stay with their father and pretend I've never heard of any of them for a week.
(That is ssoooo not going to happen before summer)

) - or in the Paleocene amidst a pack of dread arctocyanids (sabertooth weasels) . While both scenarios may seem better than what you are experiencing this week, just remember - the sabertooth weasels and/or bed partner stranger may all be sick with the flu and throwing up too, so then what have you gained? I say stick with the poison you know. (Or vomit, as it were). This immediately set my mind to whirling. All the other messages I have ever got from God were tied to arrows and shot into trees. Had those all been fakes? Have I been following the advice of Cupid all these years?!? (The ramifications are astounding). Why had God sent me a deflated balloon? Had all the lawsuits involving priests and boys left Him too broke to spring for helium? Is there a cryptic meaning in deflated messages? Anyhoo, it said the message was auspicious, so that's good right?
As I raced to my computer with my deflated promise of an auspicious message from God, it dawned on me that God has a website!
Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the website is based in Boulder, Colorado! (It is indeed beautiful, but I didn't know it is heaven! I even visited it once already 25 years ago, so I've already been to heaven!
) Anyhoo, this proved its delivery by God, as how else did it end up in my backyard?!?
Anyhoo, the point of all this is that if you need to register a complaint with the powers that be, this must be the place to do it: http://www.newmessage.org/
Good luck. (be forewarned: it could just be Cupid. Maybe even Gromit.)
