Life Love and something in the middle

Hi; You know I have had a lot of work this past month, and I am paying the price as they say, my mental condition was aggravated, by the long hours of stress.  But I think it has been worth it.  I have managed to invoice over $3K this month my biggest month in 5 years, and next month will be bigger. I face some challenges ahead though, the next step is a complete network redesign for the client and I have been working hard to get that under control, its worth some good coin to me, and even better a good ongoing income doing the support. To top this off, have been asked to do other works by other new customers so things might finally be paying off for me.  The question still remains as to if I can sustain the stress that comes with it. Away from work, I have found a new way to wake up in the morning, I stumble down stairs turn the kettle on and make a hot cup of earl gray tea with milk and sugar.  I then come upstairs open the curtains and watch Castle hill as...

Where I live

I have just come in from watching the documentary series Coast.  The current series is about Australia, and they just had an episode of my favorite part of the country. Now I know it is normal to look at ones own country with pride we all do it.  But I think somehow Australia is different an environment baked in the hot southern sun for a million years.  Its an Island a Country and a Continent, that in itself is unique.  I am lucky I have seen great swathes of this country I have been to its dead heart, and to its western and eastern borders.  I have seen the sky touch the horizon and so many stars it would take a life time to count them all.  Its remote and increadibly beautiful, and at the same time modern and complex.  Australia my home is an amazing place. I have been into the heart of this country a few times now, and one thing that always strikes me is how timeless it all is.  If I was to die out there even a monument to my passing w...

Build it they will come

Well today saying is "Build it and they will come".  There has been a movie (staring Mr Costner) around the theme. For me today is the end of a long process, I have vaguely noted in previous posts of a new project a new start for me.  Something that I can make money with and remove my dependence on others.  Well tonight I have put the last touches on this project and tomorrow we start our advertising campaign. You guys will be first to be notified when we go live.  I hope that this project can give me back my dignity, and give me a reason to look forward to retirement. Again to you all thanks for the support at times this process seemed never ending, and has been hard on me mentally doing all the work that is required.  Its done now and now we can move forward, forward to a better day for all I hope.  Just need a few people to sign up and I am sure the butterflies will go away. thanks

The following information was provided as part of Bo's information pack.  I remember reading this years ago, and unfortunately I do not know who to reference this work to, other than to say I think it sums up the breed wonderfully.  If there are typographical errors I apologize in advance as I am re typing this document. Our Bo Baby Over 150 years ago the "sportsmen" of the day set about breeding a fighting dog. In the beginning they crossed the English Bull Dog with various Terriers, their objective was to combine the strength and immunity to pain of the Bull Dog with the speed and fire of the Terrier, the first progeny being know as Bull Terriers Around this time (1840-1850) dog fighting was a fashionable "sport", Since then the Bull Terrier has been put to every use and abuse in his development to the more elegant and refined animal of today. Physically, the  Bull Terrier of today is the supreme athlete of Dogdom, often referred to as the Gladia...
