• 2/2/2008 - Story about house robbery

    A woman was alone in her home in West Jordan, Utah, when someone knocked on the door.

She was working and ignored it. A moment later a downstairs window smashed and
three burglars climbed through.

 

Terrified, she grabbed a cordless phone, hid in an upstairs closet, and called police.

 "One of the burglars came into the room I was in," said the 21-year-old victim,

 who didn't want to be identified.

 

 "Nothing was going through my mind except, 'Please don't look and find me'."

That's when the burglar decided to look for valuables in the closet.

 He even brushed across her boots and legs, but didn't look up;

 he would have seen her face.

 

When police arrived, all three took refuge in the room, and one decided to
hide in the same closet she was in.

"He didn't even realize I was standing there. He was smashing me up against the wall,"

 she said.

 

 When police entered the room she burst out of the closet, yelling

"He's in here! He's in here!"surprising the burglar even more than the officers.

 All three men were captured; they were armed with knives.
(Deseret Morning News) ...Next time, shove him out in front of the
officers' drawn guns.

• 20/1/2008 - Time seems to come back in one big hit

I had to go to the Doctors the other day, nothing serious just a check up and this person turned around to look at me and started talking to me as if I knew her.

 

I was a little confused thinking “do I know this person”?

 

Years ago I used to go to Bingo with my mum and this person used to be there all the time, I used to sit with her and talk with her as I knew her younger sister.

 

We caught up a bit and started to talk about what had happened in our lives and such, it was so strange as the last time I saw her she had given birth to a baby girl and this baby girl is now 21 years old

 

She knew me, as im always told I never change how I look, how sad is that lol……I look close to the same as I did when I was 16.

• 6/1/2008 - Toronto's Smallest House

Toronto has one of the smallest house's i have ever seen, built in 1912 by well-known contractor, Arthur Weeden it was up for sale last year for $179,900

.

Occupying what used to be a driveway, it’s a one-bedroom, one-bathroom house that sits on a parcel of land 7.25 feet (2.2 metres) wide and 113.67 feet (34.6 metres) long and has an interior area of just under 300 square feet (under 28 square metres).

.

Around 10 years ago a couple who came from Brazil went about to make the house a little easier to live in adding some of things listed below

.

  • “Completely Re-Done Top-To-Bottom, Front-To-Back!”
  • Tumbled stone entrance walk
  • Renovated Bath
  • Renovated kitchen with newer stove, new cabinets and new stacked washer/dryer
  • Bedroom with Murphy bed + “Built-Ins” — doubles as den!
  • Walk-out to fenced patio
  • 100-amp service
  • 2 satellite dishes and receiver
  • “Window A/C Available”

.

Underneath the house is also a basement so you would have some place to store some of your stuff.

.

It would make it easy for cleaning and take not much time at all, with the wooden floor you could put dusters on your feet and dance around to music cleaning at the same time lol ..

If you want to know about the history of the house there is a website you can do too. The Smallest House

Christmas has come around again for another year, and i haven’t been filling this in at all,

.

I think about it, but i don’t seem to fill anything in here

.

Tonight i saw some Christmas carols and didn’t have to go far from where i live, all i had to do was walk through the park next to where i live and i was at the carols, i took a friend of mines children, i think she wanted to have some time in the house herself to catch up on some housework without her children always calling for her.

.

So that was a bit of fun for the year, my life is in a slight rut, but im not to worried about it, things could be much worse than they are, and when I feel like getting out of this rut I will lol

.

But then i do have some good things that have happened in my life this year, and for that i am thankful

.

 

Merry Christmas to all

• 22/10/2007 - Not writing in here much

The last few weeks I haven’t been writing much in this Blog

 

The reason

 

Well I have been playing a game a love called World of Warcraft more than I have been for some reason.

 

I have started using Bebo and doing things in there adding pics and chatting to people, getting to know people from all over the world

 

I have also started using Facebook, the same thing chatting to people, playing games on there, finding video clips to add to my page

 

A friend of mine has got me into play Poker, there is a place called Pokerstars that you can play, using play money…of course you can use real money as well, but as I don’t know how to play poker so well at the moment the play money is better for me.

 

So that is what I have been up to, and maybe I can try to type more into my blog, talk about what bothers me, or things that I find silly on the web

Bye for today

• 1/10/2007 - Maybe a new sex craze

 I was looking around the net the other day and found what is supposed to be a new sex craze, not something I think I will be doing though.

 

It’s called Bagging or Masking.

 

What it seems to be is you put a Paper Bag on your head or the other persons head so they can’t see what is happening.

 

Im not to sure I would be into putting a paper bag over my head, I can see slightly why they enjoy doing it, but I prefer to be able to see who I am having sex with..

 

 
real life paper bag head jo palmer

Phil, 34, and flower shop owner, Denise like this new craze

.

 ‘Sometimes, I wrap Phil’s head tightly in a silk scarf so he can’t hear or see anything,’ Denise says.

.

Phil loves being in his own little world with his head inside a bag,’ she says.

.

‘He can’t see my face, so he is able to relax and concentrate on his own pleasure and needs.

.

‘But it works the other way, too. I can’t see my husband’s familiar face, so I can pretend I’m having crazy sex with some anonymous stud, who’s just there to do whatever I tell him. It’s fantastic!’

.

Denise says she and Phil are aware of the potential dangers of their secret fetish – but she could never give it up.

.

‘I’d never put Phil in danger,’ she says. ‘We only ever use a paper bag, which doesn’t heavily restrict his breathing. And I tie the ribbon very loosely around his neck.

.

‘He could take the bag off his head any time he wanted to. For us, it’s a bit of fun.

.

‘It makes our sex life that little bit more thrilling and exciting.

• 19/9/2007 - People at times annoy me

Some people I know annoy the shit out of me, I had a nephew living with me who got in a little bit of trouble, I thought it wouldn’t be wise that he not live with me anymore as he has a problem that I am not able to help him with.

 

His girlfriend on the other hand doesn’t seem to understand why I don’t want him to stay here and that I should let him move back in with me. My nephew is at the moment staying with one of his uncles (I thought having a male influence would be good for him)

 

His girlfriend will be going to see him next week and I have told his uncle that she can be controlling of him and always wants things her way, which is true. She doesn’t like that I have told that about her and now is calling me a Bitch.

 

The girlfriend things that I should let him move back in with me, as she sees this would help him. To me it seems that she wants him to move back in with me so that he is close to her and that she can see him whenever she wants, which would mean that she would be at my place 24/7.

 

I am just starting to get my life back into some order after he moved out, I have meet someone and want the chance to get to know him, I have a few problems of my own that I am working on, but to me she wants me to stop all that and think of my nephew first.

 

He has a mother and will be moving in with her, so I don’t see that me not having him move back with me is wrong, he knows that he can come to see me whenever he wants and I have told him that he can come to my place during the day so he can spend time with his girlfriend.

I tried to talk to her today and explain my side of the story, but well she doesn’t want to listen to me, to her what she thinks is right and no-one else could be.

 

To me it is her loss and I think it is time that she grew up, and see that the world does not revolve around her.

• 17/9/2007 - My washing Machine

 

On Saturday i decided to get some clothes washing done, and all was going along well then what happens for some reason the machine wouldn’t pump out the water, so i thought ok, maybe something stuck in the hose the water comes out from

I take the hose off and all this water pours out of it, so im thinking ok i have fixed it now, so i decide to do another load, this time the machine wouldn’t turn on at all, i look at it and cant find any reason why it wouldn’t be working, but it seems i didn’t check very well.

So i get out a friends hubby to have a look at the machine and it seems that i have somehow pushed a button, lucky was my friends hubby as he just laughed, i offered him money but he didn’t take any, so i might buy him something small and give it to him to thank him

• 5/9/2007 - APEC Australia 2007

Well it seems we are having  APEC in Sydney Australia

.

Not knowing what it was all about i thought i would have a check up and see...

,

What APEC stands for is Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation

,

The first meeting was in 1989 in Canberra Australia with 12 members, to talk about trade negotiation objectives.

.

Now there are  21 APEC members, referred to as 'Member Economies', are Australia; Brunei Darussalam; Canada; Chile; People's Republic of China; Hong Kong, China; Indonesia; Japan; Republic of Korea; Malaysia; Mexico; New Zealand; Papua New Guinea; Peru; Republic of the Philippines; The Russian Federation; Singapore; Chinese Taipei; Thailand; United States and Vietnam. 

It seems what the Members do of regardless of the size of the economy, have a goal to promote and strengthen economic growth in the Asia-Pacific community.

.

Over the past 15 years APEC economies have outpaced the rest of the world in reducing barriers to trade and delivering economic growth to their communities

.

        • Average tariffs have declined from 16.6 per cent in 1988 to 6.4 per cent in 2004 and non-tariff barriers have been substantially decreased

        • Real GDP for APEC economies increased by 46 per cent from 1989 to 2003 compared to non-APEC economies which increased by 36 per cent

        • Developing APEC economies grew by 77 per cent, more than double th non-APEC rate.

In other words it seems they get together talk about economic growth for the 21 countries and try to decide how each country can help the other to better their own countries.

• 2/9/2007 - My bad memories of Father's Day

Today is fathers day, a day that comes around the first Sunday of September in Australia

.

My memories of father’s day aren’t very good, a day where my dad was out busy working or doing other stuff

.

My father was 43 years old when i was born, and well it was like being brought up by my grandfather, the way i act and some of my manners are what someone who is older would do or say, but then that is what makes me, me. I do have some good memories of him sitting down spending time with me, doing things that most fathers do, and well he was my dad and dad's do have a special place in ones heart.

.

I’m trying to remember good days as im sitting here,  Oh I have one, going with my family when I was older and taking my dad to lunch.

.

My dad has been dead though for the past 14 years I think, so I don’t celebrate fathers day anymore, only go a visit his grave and put new flowers there.

.

But for every other father out there who might read this HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!

• 25/8/2007 - Hosts Clubs in Japan

I was watching this Doco the other night and thought i might share it. It was called The Great Happiness Space: Tale of an Osaka Love Thief

.

The doco was about Host Clubs that are in Japan

.

What a Host Club is is a place that has men that pour drinks, and often flirt with female clients.

.

The clients that usually go to the Host Clubs are wives of rich men or women working as hostesses in hostess clubs as to go can cost quite alot of money prices seem to start at around 9800 yen (approx 84.149067 USD)

.

To get a private booth the price can go up to 100,000 yen (approx 858.663950 USD)

.

The women go there to be listened to and made to feel as if they belong and are someone. The men acknowledge the women's desire to taken care of and are loved back. It seems that Japanese men don’t listen to women and make them feel good about themselves and by going to these clubs they get it there. Most of the women that go there are women that work as Hostesses, them making anywhere between 300,000 and 400,000 JPY (approx 2,575.991850 and 3,434.655800 USD)

.

The conversations by the men are generally light-hearted; hosts may have a variety of entertainment skills, simple magic tricks or loads of charisma with which to tell a story.

. 

Hosts are often an age between 18 and their mid-20s. They will take a 'stage name' usually taken from a favourite manga, film, or historical figure, and will often describe their character.

.

Pay is usually determined by commission on the amount of drinks the woman orders

.

The hours that a Host Bar is open are usually from around midnight and they finish in the morning or midday, the hosts working to the point of exhaustion.

.

In the show i watched there was one woman who wanted to marry one of the hosts and hoped that all the money she was paying to see this guy was seen as a down payment for a future with him.

.

He was explaining that yes he knew she was going to say some stuff about him and couldn’t wait for him to see it so that he would know how she felt for him.

.

I felt sad for this woman as you could see that the guy who was the host would probably not marry her, he made her feel good and wanted, what all people need.
