Penegal if you want to get properly let down you must rely on both.
Although I did have a phone call from a MD of a company where he told me everything was ok so we went overseas and 6 weeks later he declared a loss of 100 million dollars. I felt lucky my wife was in the car and I had the call on speaker phone. Just remember you can defeat adversity and of course never forget.

Not sure what's worth - relying on someone specific and being let down, or relying on the goodness of the human race and being let down....

Life is full of let downs. Best not to rely on anyone.

Ah well - new day today, hopefully a better one. In your home town incidentally.

You have to rely on people - it just sucks when they are bad...

This is the slowest loading plane. Already 30 minutes late and they've twice asked people to hurry up! Monumental pffaffing around here. But I do have a shadow.

I try not to rely on anyone except for immediate family for important things. Let down more than once.

There is already a Charlotte Diana (Spencer), so whilst my daughter would be rapt with a current Princess named the same...

Going home afte 12 hours is amazing...must have been an easy birth. Drug free??

I read an article last night suggesting it must have been a complication free birth for the Duchess to leave when (and how - i.e. walking by herself and in a dress that was WHITE and yellow!!!!) she did. Attributed to the continuous care of the midwifery team (3 particular midwives have been on call for the past month waiting for the birth), and that she was likely labouring at home for some period of time before coming to hospital - and only coming to hospital when she needed to, instead of labouring at hospital the whole time. Can't quickly find the article, and I guess there's a level of guess work around the birth details, as one does not discuss such things, of course!

I read that too. Admittedly she did need a hand getting down the stairs so I'd suggest a brave face put on for the crowds before heading home to be a normal new mum.

I also read that there was a case of golden staph or something similar in the hospital and that the relevant rooms were scrubbed prior to the expected arrive of the princess. Therefore my (totally uninformed) opinion is that she spent the bare minimum time required in hospital because the risk of incurable infection was too high to spend much longer there.

I read that and I was confused how a salad can produce fat like that. It would be a medical miracle I think.

I like salads too. Yesterday I was planning what type of salad to pick up on my way home. Decided that a tomato and crouton salad would do the trick, but I wanted some cheese and maybe some mixed vegetables would make a nice change. Then thought maybe just one big crouton, covered in tomato and a little cheese sprinkled on top with the vegetables tossed through. Its a good thing that Dominos sell such a salad - they call it a super supreme and it comes with a bonus serving of various proteins as well. Now that's my kind of salad.

Chicken Caesar Salad - not much fat in that one.
