Who is it that you share your nightly meals with?
Is it your house/flat/room-mates?
Is it your Family?
Or is it your television?
These are the questions I would like to find the answers to, do you share you nightly meal discussing your day with your familiars, do you eat alone in front of the television watching the nightly news, or depending on what time and channel you are watching; the weekly drama of Desperate Housewives?
On most nights my family and I sit at our Dining table, sometime between 6 and 8pm to eat, to talk, to learn. We learn what we did in the day, what’s on our minds, what is driving one another crazy once again at work or at school. We gossip, we discuss we debate or as Mum calls it, argue. We are a family.
Before moving in with our new family, which gave me a new younger sister and a father-type-person, we did not share this. My older sister who lives up away from this in a house sharing with one other (Formerly Two others) noticed it. We never sat at the table, and even prior to becoming used to it, I looked down on those who’d sit together at a table. Posh types who believed in the Christian Right-wing type of nuclear-Christian family.
When I thought of eating at a table, I thought of praying to a god I never believed in, in being told to get my elbows off the table. Of awkward quiet times in that rarely used room in my grandparents (On my original fathers sides) abode.
Now however, when I think of eating together. I feel, happier, more willing to engage in this nightly ritual only broken every now and again. I think of how lonely the meals were with only the news to keep me company, no arguments over the table over whether one of us is mature, or whether I am too nosy. Who will have a better career in the end, and whether it will matter at all how much we will make. Whether or not we should get solar, or try another alternative source. Whatever is the hot topic, or million topics of the day!
When company comes over, we share great meals over this table, and if it is not big enough…we get more tables and fill more then the extension of the dining area. It is a wonderful time, and I have never felt more in touch with my family, extended and those who I live with on a day-to-day basis.
This is my account thus far, of what my life around a table is. I would like to hear about yours, what is it you eat with, who you eat with and what it means?

Everyone cares for the environment in this world
Here and now it is a popular trend especially in Hollywood to be enviro-aware. But why is it so?
Shall I tell you why? Because it is our planet, and it is dieing.
You guys just don’t all seem to get it. Nothing I have seen really conveys this enough!
WE ARE KILLING OUR PLANET!
Do you even register this fully. People in Hollywood may have realised this, but no matter how much money we manage to acumulate, unless we do soemthing drastic and chaneg the way we as humans live, Earth the only planet we have is dying because of our influence.
It is inevitable at by 2050, when I wll be 61. That the world would have risen by at least 3 degrees celcius, that is horrible if you don’t know. The thing is, that our world may become uninhabitable.
The Greenhouse Effect.
I am sure you all know hat this is already but if you don’t here is Smileys oveview.
We have created a layer in our atmosphere which traps all of the heat in and stops most of it escaping, so our planet is heating up.
Our trees cannot absorb all of the carbon Emissions we pump out, and still we cut more down. It is that bad with us people.
i think at this stage, Our Planet is no longer merely a greenhouse, a more accurate terminology then the Greenhouse effect would be the Microwave effect. Our Spinning Planet is cooking.

You who do not live in Australia, may not feel the effects of climate change just yet but you will soon. Over the past few year I ahve felt the climate change, it is getting hotter in Summer nad even colder in winter. Our society even, though it is aware it is becoming harsher. One day into the bushfire season and we’d already lost a house.
I live in a International Heritage Listed Tuart forest, and well I am scared of bushfire especially seeing my house is straw baled.
You should be scared.

Karma is a real Bitch isn’t it?
I am learning this for myself, as I begin my third day of work, at coles…technically my first…I fainted on the first and only finished the training on the second.
So anywho that is all nothing to do with karma being a bitch. Me working means me gets more money. This is about computers and internet.
Now that I work I go to bed much earlier and thus sleep more so I don’t fall asleep because I am doing 8 hours days right off the bat after having yobbed at home for about a year.
I was spending most of my time on the internet. All day in fact, and my work happens to begin on the first week of school holidays the day after my younger brothers birthday. I come home yesterday, my brother is ont he internet, I requestusage and ish denied. At least I let him go on before I or he wanted to go to bed.
So until 6 o’clock he was on the internet, at which time I went on, only to be kicked off momentarilly by Mum and Paul who wanted to check their e-mails. Oh and Luke again had interfered and after spending all that time on during the day, now wanted to show Paul a youtube video of some crappy Halo three thing.
Anyway following that while mum and paul did their email thing which was acting up, Luke decided to hit me with a pipe cleaner. You know the furry things with wire in them.
And anyway he yobbed me in the eye with it. That hurt. Well then we both were banned form the computer for me getting lobbed in the eye with a pipe cleaner.
Thats the news in ym world whats yours?

Oh my fucking god!
Chris Mainwaring, 7!/GWN news Sport reporter and West Coast Eagles legend died at according to my sister 11 pm last night.
He died of what has at this time been confirmed as a heart attack.
First Steve Irwin!
Next Peter brock!
Now Chris Mainwaring!
WHY?!
What for! I mean Chris is like one of the old WA footy stars legends of all time. He is seriously like awesome, I mean I remember when he retired.
I as I write this am thinking! Is this a hoax! But no everyone seems to affirm it!
OMG waa!
~:~
Okay so now apart from the crying, it is a horrible thing, in the last two years we have lost so much. Chris Mainwaring died at the age of 41.
He was a healthy footy star. I am if you can’t tell in complete disbelief.
And you know what, they didn’t even give him a mention on the national news.
Send messages to seven in complaint. MY GOD! IT is horrible only GWN news did naything, he wasn’t just a reporter, he was a footy legend.
EDIT: sorry only the australia wide update didn’t have anything on him it has been like a whole night of tribute to the legend
We have a East Fremantle sharks footy he signed like from the 70’s or eighties.
Oh anf fyi the first thing I thought when I heard was that the west coast eagles are sponsored by hungry jacks.
~:~
So please comment on any words about Mainwaring , or anything you want me to comment on please!
