Frances, let me help you translate. I know this language pretty well. "You're crazy, you know that? Running in the snow is just dumb." ==> "You're doing really well in your life and when I see that, I compare it to my own habits and come out looking bad. Don't you want to cop out with the excuses that I use to avoid improving myself? It's easier for me to insult you than to try to change myself, so that's what I'll do."
Hi Aussie!!! I'm glad you're around!
Lofty, you've taken the prize for most productive! Woo-hooooo! I love the idea of listing 5-6 things each evening for the following day. I'm a list-maker.
And how do you make lamb stew? I've never successfully prepared a meal with lamb.
