Hey Bonny, it makes me wonder about the so called heights of civilisation that humans have achieved.
I'm relieved to hear you've put your fists away, Aqua, but I know what you mean. My surname is Pointer ...
Sarcasm is mightier than the fist. (Why do I have my doubts?)

It taught me that elementary-school-level kids have a society similar to gorillas or chimpanzees. Looking at grown-ups trying to buy things to
impress/tease the neighbours, it might go for adults as well.

Everyone makes jokes about the name of someone else. You even do it your self with your own name. Our surname Ploeg means Plough and team and shift.
BBP still hope for a guy named Night so she will be known as mrs. Night-shift and so on. An what to say about Ed.

People forgot Mr Ed as soon as they stopped showing that. People never forget Bonnie Kom Je Buiten Spelen, My Bonnie, Bonnie & Clyde etc.

My last name is supposed to be something like "from the land of the cuckoos" meaning cuckoo clocks, not crazy persons. I hope.

I see that this post invited a respectful
silence that lasted five days.
The actual meaning of my surname goes back to the days when building was much more of an art than it became after the second world war. This is not
the meaning that was made fun of when I was at school. Mind you, I didn't have many bullying problems in high school and I was quite the bush lawyer
so I mostly held my own and generally gave much better than I got in response to any smart arses.

We're clearing the living room. Changing carpet.
It's going to be very difficult: the last time we changed carpet while residing somewhere was in our old home over 15 years ago. I don't remember how
we did it back in the day. Now we have the pinball table, a piano, a low cupboard and a mirror showcase cupboard extra to move. Yesterday we put the
low cupboard in the hallway.

Too late!
The carpet, particularly the back of it, is as rough as a cob, it did damage my knuckles and knees crawling on it, and earlier I got the sofa folding
one of my fingernails the rong way. Ouch. DED was the first to injure himself though, muscle problems.

Hang in there guys, I'm sure it'll be worth it in the long run.
The difficulties with my Mum's situation seem to be finally falling into place. With the large amount of effort so far and ongoing and with a little
more luck, I should be able to settle down properly to my studies by the start of March. Touch wood.

Good luck Poly!
The carpet is in place after many hours of gluing. The carpet glue creepily resembles chocolate mousse, but smells like clay. I got to remove a bunch
of it out of the carpet.

I used to lay carpets and linolium,it's terrible on the knees even with pads on.
You guys think you had it rough with your names! Ha! Try Kirk the Jerk or Kirkey Turkey.I hit little Sherry Boron in the stomach when she called me
the former in Kindergarten! 1st time I went to the principles office.I was informed that you don't hit girls......even if they hit you first or you
are a jerk and a turkey too! Haven't hit one sense.Wanted to,but didn't.I didn't want to be known as Kirkey the Jerk of a Turkey.Kids can be so nice
and understanding! Ha!

"We're back!"????
We are celebrating the offer of a permanent place for my Mum on reasonable financial terms. She gets to stay in the room she's in now, to which she
has become accustomed. So, my next chore is to sell her house.

Good to hear that you managed to find a place for your mum where she is not totally unknown.
We're back means we are back from a "work"holiday in Paris. Goal was to visit Louvre on a day they were open from 9 to 21:45.
We arived at 11 and stayed until we were thrown out. Knowing that we only have seen half of the Louvre me must go back sometime. Esp. since we known
that part of the collection is now closer by in Louvre Lens. The cheapest en most comfortable way was to book a 5 day bustrip (with dutch spoken
guide). Where they assume that they have to show us the city in five days the misunderstand our family. In fact after arriving in the hotel we went
on our own and our guide saw us on the day we went home. So monday was travelling as wel as friday. Wednesday was Louvre XXL Tuesday was Musee 'd
Orsay and Thursday an extra day for Hotel des invalides, Eiffel tower, Champs Elysee, and Place de gaulle with Arc de Triomph. But it was dark when we
get there, so on friday morning we get back to the arc to cimb him.

Fought my way back to sanity after the last roadside restaurant gave me a nasty case of food poisoning. Made a compilation of my Arc de Triomphe
videos, uploaded them, but can't find them on Youtube yet.
