Here I have backed up all of the blogs I wrote on Multiply, over the years. They are old, and apparently the images do not get imported, but it was worth a try. Currently I cannot seem to see any posts, but in the Dashboard it says I have over 1200 posts imported here. It may take a while to get this working.

Got caught in the pouring rain again coming down the mountain. Eventually my cycling shoes are going to rot because they never seem to have time to dry! I wonder if my feet will rot before that......
I have definitely noticed it's been a bit rough around the edges lately. The scary "freezing indoors, humid and sweaty no matter what the temp outdoors" days are setting in quickly!
That is for sure, Jaime. It's hard to explain to people how it can be 25C/76F in June and feel cold as hell.... I hate the cold, clammy, sweaty, hands and feet season about to hit us in a few days...
It came so fast!!! I wasn't ready for it, but I was in Jay's school the other day and freeeezing, then came outside and even though it was chilly, I was instantly sweaty. Ugggh. This weather really drains your energy reserves, for sure! I have no idea how anyone could acclimate to it all. Woooosh!
It is very unique at that. And the summers are sooo stinking hot with baking sunshine and nearly saturated air so you sweat like you wouldn't believe. Usually when it is hot and sunny, shady spots offer some relief. But in your experience, Jaime, would you say that is true?
In all seriousness, the sun with all the concrete seems to bounce around everywhere... that plus the humidity and no breeze..... it makes it a very challenging situation sometimes. I definitely carry around a damp cloth in a little ziplock bag on the warmest days and it never fails that I wish for a light jacket when I walk into an office building!
My mum went to Thailand and said it was horrible humidity wise because she felt like she was breathing through a hot wet towel (I would like to know how my mum knows what this feels like).
they make the best kind, Deb. Nobody would suspect.... Spy training. Gotta learn what waterboarding feels like so you can apply it appropriately in order to know the kinds of effects it brings.
My mom used to use a wooden spoon on my bottom back when I was 10 and really bad. Then one day the spoon broke, and she realized that I had grown up because I laughed instead of cried.
Man vs manmade?
ReplyDeleteManmade against the elements. And the Japanese elements are so harsh that usually even the best laid plans of mice and manmade aft gang agley.

ReplyDeleteJapan. It's most assuredly a unique place!
Woah... I've never seen three new entries all come up at the same time before.
ReplyDeletethat was kinda... neat.
POOF we talk lots.

ReplyDeleteThere are shady spots here??? *winks 'n' grins*
ReplyDeleteThere are here. The problem is that with shade comes no breeze, which means the rivulet running down the center of the back turns to a river...

ReplyDeletedo the japanese think so to??
ReplyDeleteA fish does not know the water exists...
ReplyDeleteMy mum went to Thailand and said it was horrible humidity wise because she felt like she was breathing through a hot wet towel (I would like to know how my mum knows what this feels like).
ReplyDeleteIs it like that?
Deb - Maybe she experienced waterboarding as a spy for the government of the country in which she worked.....
ReplyDeleteYes, it is like that.
I tried to imagine my mother as a spy and I lol'd

ReplyDeleteDoes this mean I had the right to smack her with a wooden spoon back when I was 10? =O
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to use a wooden spoon on my bottom back when I was 10 and really bad. Then one day the spoon broke, and she realized that I had grown up because I laughed instead of cried.
ReplyDeleteI remember mum slamming that wooden spoon on my ass and that sucker broke and we both went =O and then laughed.
ReplyDeleteThen she went out and bought 4 new wooden spoons.
Good thing she didn't buy the metal ones.
ReplyDeleteGood thing she never thought of that...
ReplyDeleteI see my parents every Friday night, and now that I'm safe from the wrath of the spoon, I'll tell her about this!
I see my parents once every three to five years....
ReplyDeleteMy mom used a belt....
ReplyDeleteI miss my mom.
