Been trying to handle an issue with Yahoo! messenger, it doens't want to do the status messages right for those of you with version 7.5.[insert numbers here], and of course Yahoo1 is being their slow witted self about it.

Those do in a pinch, but you should invest in something that will last you more than an hour, a heating pad would probably be the best way to go, or one of those heated massage mats that go right on a chair (like the cushions you'd put in a car actually). Just something to think about. I know little about sciatica issues, so I can't advise on specifics relating to them.

I'm in the process of restoring an old lawn mower, one of the really old ones with the spiralling "blades" that has no motor in it at all. Since I live in a house with a small yard, and hate gas power mowers with a passion for their noise alone, I talked my brother into giving me the old push mower he had (it takes no more effort to walk behind in than a gas one). Anyway, the cutting blade was all rusted up, so I've got to clean and sharpen it before I can actually cut the grass with it, but it mows light grass even with a dull blade if it's adjusted right, which I've got done. I don't do a lot of handywork myself, ladders and I don't get along too well, so climbing to the roof of a three story house to fix a few leaks is out of the question for me.

I'm not so good with certain plants, I killed my bonsai tree, so much for long life with that one, only had it a year too. I'm growing mint in a window box right now, I love the smell, but only two of the seeds sprouted out of the whole package of seeds. Good thing I started with Peppermint, I still have my spearamint (wild spearamint is the best, you can smell it a mile away and it tastes so good too) seeds in reserve. On that note though, I have issues with fake plants too, I'm a stickler for live vegetation. If I'm going to have a plant, it better be a live one. You might look at those air ferns, the ones that don't need water, they last a long time if given the very light touch they need, read the package for details, I've never owned one myself, but I know people who have.

All I can do is keep trying, and waiting till the right job comes along. I've applied to just about every place I can here anyway, some onf them two or three times.

The best thing was my sister liked it, to me that means the world.

I hope you've got the Asian language packs for this one (and the site here handles it correctly):

Friendship is "yuujou" ͧ¾ð, Lifelong friend is "shougai no tomo"¡¡À¸³¶¤Îͧ. I found two different words for friend, but no Kana or Kanji for them, "yuujin", and "tomodachi", I think the more general of the two is "tomodachi", if my sources are right, "yuujin" is more specifically referring to a companion type (more intimate) relationship.

Thank you for the comment on my gryphon, I didn't spend the better part of two or three weeks on it for no reason. I could have gotten a better picture of it I suppose, but you get the idea. That was actually inspired by a lesson in an art book I was given for Christmas, and some resources I was directed to for dragon drawing by members here, but I did do my own thing with it. I used pencil, colored pencil, and ink, and sky is actually a watercolor pencil, you take and color what you want, then go over it with a damp paintbrush and it looks painted, I wanted that textrure for the night sky. The picture is cut off, but I have mountains and a full moon in the background too, though I can't show you, I didn't get a good enough full view photo of the picture. Maybe I should go back to my smaller paper so I can scan the pictures in the right way.

I found a couple translations, but thanks for your input with the question too. I didn't come across nakama in my research, guess my Japanese/English dictionary isn't as complete as it should be.

Yep, and I've never seen it on any other program, animated or otherwise. It is nuts, no pun intended on my part either.

I have no preferred choices, there's nothing here I'm overly passionate about doing. I'm looking for work out of necessity, not enjoyment. But, because there are only so many businesses here, I apply every time I see them advertising job openings. For some reason persistant people aren't really wanted in jobs around here, and I don't know why. On one hand the interviewers say they want experienced people, but they go and hire people who don't do the work and collect the paycheck anyway.

We have a couple chemical plants, Dupont, GE, and the like, there's an art glass factory somewhere around here (I applied there for a job too, they don't look often though), A lot of restaurants, a couple hotels, the town likes to delude themselves into thiking they're tourist worthy, but that's laughable at best, a whole host of retail, Circuit City, K-Mart, Sears, JC Penny (A whole mall), and Wal-Mart which I can't apply to, thanks to my mother and idiot brother both having worked there before and causing so many problems for management that I'd be treated like dirt because of my last name alone (that's how people around here work, they don't believe in doing things right). Aside from that, and a few golf courses, the only real "industry" would probably be either of the two hospitals and they are out of the question too, I don't have the strength of will to be around that environment. The biggest towns in West Virginia (Western side) would be Wheeling (about two½ hour drive away), Charleston (State Capitol, one hour), Huntington (1½ hours away, near Charleston), Clarksburg, (Hour fourty five), and Morgantown (2 hours at the most). There are no major metropolitan areas near West Virginia at all. It's not like I could actually look for work elsewhere, the price of gas and my amaxophobia make it impractical to look much beyond 5 miles. I have to keep in mind that I need to be able to get there on my own when no one is available to take me.

I just want to add this, getting an interview does not mean aperson has gotten the job, some people around here seem to thing the interview is just a formality on the road to being put in the position, it's not.
