"Death to Israel" can't be misinterpreted.

Believe me - that translation is absolutely accurate. That video is all we need to know.

Iran is THE biggest danger around at the moment and is likely to invade Iraq as soon as it is able.

1.30 am here so sleepy

A month or two of volunteering is more likely to lead to a job. An employer or employment agency is more likely to consider a resumee if they know that the unemployed person is getting up and doing something worthwhile. It lets the employer know that person is able to get out of bed on time each morning, is a reliable helper, is gaining new skills, is personable, etc. No need to be out of pocket as expenses are often reimbursed. Of course it doesn't pay the bills but hopefully savings or welfare payouts do. It's how I got a good job as it was recommended to me to volunteer in an office after doing a computer course. People fresh off courses have difficulty getting work as they have no experience so in that case working in an office for five weeks led me to walk straight into a well-paid job whereas had I not have done the volunteering I may have just been unemployed as there is so much competition for jobs. If someone is unable to volunteer then perhaps spend time doing free online courses or similar.

The best way to get a job is to do voluntary work, preferably in the field of the job you want, or sometimes that isn't feasible, so any sort of voluntary work. It looks good on your resumee and shows a prospective employer that you are not just sitting at home twiddling your thumbs. These places that take volunteers often have funds for your travel expenses and sometimes provide lunch money. That's in the UK anyway, but I am sure that could be in other countries. Hospitals, schools, charity offices etc., they all need people. You will also make new friends and contacts. Often it is not what you know but also who you know. Good luck.

What happens in a week?

I hope you have learnt from her. Women love a man who can cook. Tell us what she makes, and how she makes it.

I hadn't heard of it but was at a loss to calm my two when they were tiny. I knew rocking would help. And laying on their tummy would. Like a poster above she lay her baby on her chest.
Anyway provided they are not likely to fall and you position them carefully on your thighs with their head to the side so they can breathe they will settle quickly.

Also I purchased a white noise tape from a stationery store. It was strange noises, a bit like a chugging noise. That put on in a cassette player near their cots stopped them crying and settled them within five minutes or so, but the tape lasted 30 minutes so I just left it running.

Hope you enjoy your grandbabies.

Try laying her on her tummy on your legs as you are sitting down and gently move your thighs from side to side. The rocking motion will probably calm her, (it worked when mine were tiny) but of course still see a health professional when you can.

3 of those Weetabix cereal bars about two hours ago. I regret it now as being high fibre I am rather windy - good job I live alone

Funny, thinking about it one of my neighbours is a cleaning lady and when I went into her apartment a few months ago to give her a parcel delivered to me for her I was surprised at the mess and dust etc. Not that I was running my finger over her shelves, but the dirt was so obvious. I suppose after cleaning up after others all day she can't be bothered with her own home. I find cleaning therapeutic and it is really good exercise. I usually like to rearrange the furniture according to whether it is spring or autumn (don't ask - it a peculiar thing I do) and therefore I can also clean the parts that are not usually seen. If visitors are coming, I make sure the bathroom and kitchen are spotless - the rest doesn't matter that much.

into youtube and you will see bits of a tv programme we have here in the UK. You may all think your homes are messy or dirty, but wait till you see how others live!!!

Very informative - thank you for that article.

I love Brighton - or Hove actually.

Good luck on here and welcome.

Welcome - you will soon get the hang of it. Good luck.

Wow - how beautiful. They grow up so fast though. Cherish those young days, make a diary of what they do, make keepsakes. Children are a precious gift, and to be barren or sterile must be dreadful.
