The are doing so FOR FREE... not even charging us shipping and handling. I lost it on the phone when he told me that. I was so moved by this act of kindness. I'm still getting over the trauma of having our house broken into. With customer service like Bose provides, I'll definitely be buying Bose products again in the future.

Honestly, i didn't think I've been sexually harassed until i received your e-mails. So, i checked wikipedia for the definition of sexual harassment. Conclusion : yes, i've been sexually harassed! Today i told everything to my boss (my boss is his boss too), and of course i showed her (the boss) the proofs i have (text messeges). At first she didn't believe me. But i can understand the situation : i'm just a new guy in the office while he's a senior (and he's good at work -- and probably one of her favorites). But somehow in the end she trusted me. The problem is : she insisted this is just a personal matter and that i must deal with this alone because the harassments take place off-work. I told her that i have tried, and it just simply didn't work because the other side didn't show any intentions to end this matter, plus this problem has affected condition at work. I insisted i want a help from third (or fourth) party. She agreed. So, we went to (i don't know the translation, but let's call it Personnel Department). The head of this department is on my side. But she can't give better solution than : 1. Give him a warning 2. Separate us (move me or move him to another division) She can't guarantee if this will stop the problem. But i guess I'm fine with that. To be separated at work is much better than to see him 10 hours a day in a same room. Plus : Most people at personnel department = true gossip folks. I'm sure the news about this will spread, thus it will give him a bad name. Bad name for : 1) being a harass-er. 2) being known as a homosexual in a country where homosexuality is a taboo (surely it won't be easy). I don't know what will happen after this. I even don't know if telling-this-to-my-boss-and-personnel-department is a right choice. I'm afraid after this he'll get mad (because everybody knows his bad side). I'm afraid if his fury is worse than all his harassment. For now, i can only wait for his feedback. Rian PS.

Hence "puppy's" security at hell's house! makes me think of how the chinese were instructed to take "dog" off their menus in beijing for the american olympic tourists...its all cultural. or that episode of mash where colonel potter figures out the koreans are eating horses. its all gross if you think about it too long. don't tell ashara about this thread, for the love of god!

I've corrected the title, jeez.... Goat? GOAT?! Absolutely not - I don't like goats. That's our orphaned lamb, named "Puppy" (half Suffolk, half miscellaneous). I've loaded a few more photos: http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~hell/places/waipipi/sofa.html 1. Half an hour old, and probably half an hour from death... 2. One day old, and adopted by our dog, hence the name 3. On the sofa 4. Opening the fire (we keep it "locked" now) 5. "His" chair. He won't be going in the freezer 'cos we're attached now, but his brother will. Yum. ;o) And yes, he is in nappies (diapers) because he pees everywhere. At some point, he will be relocated to the great outdoors, but our weather is CRAP (freezing rain, hail, howling wind) and it's just too mean right now. My partner took him in the shower last night to give him a wash, and he loved it - I got the (damp) task of drying and brushing him. The dog is totally over motherhood, especially as he's decided she's quite attractive. He thinks the same about our large, grey, fluffy cat. We knew sheep matured early, but three weeks is ridiculous! There's something very, very wrong about a lamb trying to mount a dog (or cat).

The store I shop at sometimes has rabbit (bunnies!) as well as weird organ meats that I didn't used to see in my old neighbourhood. So, I'm OK with eating chicken and beef. But bunnies? Baby animals? Let them grow up before I eat them. What a hypocrite! And now, I feel a song coming on... Hell's lamb's Cadillac Weekends we had...

I didn't know you five years ago, but now my heart cries out for you and your loss. A comforting hymn that was sung at my dearest friend Kristie's memorial service (she died of a brain tumor at age 48, such a bright light in this world, leaving much too soon as did your brother, leaving 3 beautiful boys) comes to heart and mind. It's Joni-ish and JMDL-ish (imo) and I hope it will help you, and all of us who grieve. When we are gathered for a time Of worship and of song, Let none forget the joys and grief, That mark each path of life and thus, We reach for those we love, We reach for those we love. For youth shall pass and time is wise And countless seasons turn, So day by day our years increase Until at last by life released, Our spirits shine like stars, Our spirits shine like stars. Dave still shines, within you and without you, and in the space between us all. (GH) And we ALL shine on. Shine. Joni said!
