The next time we go, I’d suggest driving in a normal car but checking into motels along the way. I’m sure they aren’t hard to find – friends have done it and survived!

What? Since when did he wear hats? Although come to think of it, since when did I wear hats? :P I told him that it was hard to find Mens Hats that looked good and I wasn’t about to buy baseball caps so he just would have to make do with his woolen hat when we go to Austria in a week’s time. At least he’ll thank me for getting him THAT! :P

I know some friends who are of this age group (I like hanging out with older people – they have so much wisdom to impart!) and who had actually despaired of taking out any life insurance to benefit their next of kin. This is because they didn’t take out anything when younger, thinking it unnecessary. And now, its just too expensive. I think I’ll send them these links and let them decide if they need it now.

They have a million cats in their house (Ok they have 3 but they sound and smell like a million!) and the stink is awful! I wonder if they’ll feel offended if I get them that or if it might make they take notice. I should probably mention it to them some time.

Or get a dog.

I think he only wants me to handle it because he knows I have the contacts where I can get these stuff cheap Haha! Oh well, better to have a project than none I say! I’m going to have to go and pick them up later today. Might treat myself to an ice cream while I’m there – the shop next door sells some of the nicest home made ice cream I’ve had

Isn’t that most fascinating? I wish we had winter here just so I can have a lovely warm fireplace. I’ve always had a thing for them. As a kid, we used to stay in a bungalow in Cameron Highlands during holidays and there was a fireplace that we’d light up because it did get quite cold at night. I don’t know if they have them anymore but that was fun… even if we did feel roasted.

I don’t think brick and mortar can take you very high. I read once that it was when steel took off as a construction material, that skyscrapers in New York really mushroomed. I want to go to New York! I want to see these skyscrapers for myself :D Maybe that’ll be my birthday pressie!

Some of us don’t really need a life insurance policy if we don’t have descendants. But yet, if you don’t take it out when you are young, you may not be able to afford it when you are older. I guess a policy that addresses this is helpful for those who have kids later in life.

I mean who doesn’t want to have something that was Cleopatra’s choice?! Nevermind that we have no idea what she was using while she was alive – no blogs then you see :D But I guess it makes sense because the dead sea is known for its high mineral content. Now, to figure out a dead sea nail kit will do it for my nails. Buy!

Come across it yet? I wonder if HB will faint if I ask for this for my upcoming birthday? I think he’d faint at the mention of diamonds! Much less black diamonds :D Or maybe he’ll jsut tell me its no use as I hardly wear earrings these days. I keep forgetting. But I should just in case the pierced hole closes up
