Forgot the two most important ones ...
I read a short portion of The Quran and The Bible every day ... try to anyway.

Great thread.
1.) Madness Visible by Janine di Giovanni. She is a BBC correspondent. The book recounts her work on assignment during the Balkan wars of the 1990's ... primarily covers the siege of Sarajevo, the war in Bosnia and the war in Kosovo. It also goes into detail of the politics surrounding the wars and the key figures.
2.) Family of Secrets by Russ Baker. It recounts the story of the political situation, behind the scenes, of the 50 years leading up to GWB. It's a very interesting look at the hidden history of the Bush family dynasty and the US invisible government.

Why do most complaints today involve puke and bowel movements?
My complaint? I'm not allowed to start a OTpenis thread.
UR right. We wouldn't Nova Scotia boy to hit his head on his desk.
I know I'm not the only NS guy here, but I've been banging my head on my desk for the past 30 odd minutes.

Timmay's is good but I like McDonalds. 79 cents for a huge coffee and it's rather good. I don't have to waste a ton of gas waiting in line either.
If you are ever in Halifax look us up ... we'll make you REAL coffee!

No ... no there are not. Explosive cat diarrhea might trump that, but you are correct--the list of things that could top that is pretty short.
Hi Chris,
How is your little one doing?
I hope I am not bringing up a sore subject. Just concerned.

Spinach lasagna last night.
Lentel and spicy Sicilian sause with fresh basil, fresh Italian parsley and olive oil. Potato and onion stuffing. Italian sparkling water to drink. No left overs for lunch :( .

EDIT: THURSDAY ... LAMB ROAST TONIGHT!

Is there an echo in here?

We went to view a special screening of an Italian movie last night. It was a historical documentary about an Italian man in Budapest in 1944. The Russians had surrounded the city by then and the Germans were in panic mode. A remarkable story of a remarkable man who saved over 5,200 Jews from certain death by his wits. Since he faught for Franco during the Spanish Civil War he officially became a Spanish citizen. He pretended to be a Spanish diplomat at the embassy and gave shelter to the Jews. An incedible story.
After the film we went to our friends gourmet pizza shop. No other (fast food chain garbage) comes even close.

These are our foster sons in Sarajevo. They are all either Imams or studying to be.

Listened this morning while having my Bosnian coffee and now I can't get this song out of my head.
PM me if you'd like the lyrics translated.

I have had the worst year so far. Wife lost her job, due to a rule violation they denied her unemployment benefits, my boss just notified me that due to company cutbacks I would lose my commision compensation package (27500) and I found out I owe 5 grand in taxes this year.
Someone open the hug thread...
Consider your self to have just received the most manly of man hugs ... :wub: .
Stiff upper lip (hi Limey, or whatever you call yourself now). It is always darkest (hi D4rk) just before the dawn.

I'm getting a bagel and a diet pepsi. What exactly is nasty about Tim Horton's? The popularity of the locations in WNY is off the charts.
Sorry, I assumed you were getting that nasty coffee ... I guess I just made an ass of me, but not u.
Wow, I don't know what kind of coffee they're making out east but Tim's is the ####. I've got to have my cup every morning. Just can't find another chain or store product that compares. I live in a medium sized City and there about 10 in town. No matter which one I go to there is a friggen lineup out the door and the drive throughs are a mess....
That's the problem ...
I never go out for coffee. I make Bosnian coffee at home. The only exception I will make is to go to a new cafe run by Palestinians, who make a passable Turkish coffee, to support them.

Go through the Tim Hortons drive-thru this morning. Total comes to $2.91. I give the cashier a $20. She gives me $17 back and goes to get my order. When she comes back, I ask for the rest of my change, and she gives me $.91.
So the question is, does she not give a ######, or never made it past 3rd grade math?
I understand that it is a Canadian icon and very addictive, but your big mistake was going to Tim's in the first place ... that stuff is nasty.

Goat roast last night.
Leftovers (not much) for lunch today.

Some of the best wings I've ever had were grilled first, sauced, then put in the oven to get a crixp on'em.
Just once I would like to see you post that you are drinking swamp water ... :P .

That's what I miss most about florida other than 74 and sunny all winter......the melting pot of food choices. At the racetrack there would always be good stuff like curried goat for the backside for like $5. There was a blind goat in the barn next to ours and I always wondered how he lasted so long without being lunch. Nasty lil' sob too.....he may have been blind, but he knew where crotch level was in relation to his horns.
You must have met the one nasty goat ... all the goats I know are very loving. I love eating goat and lamb, but I don't think about the deed at all ... I could never do it. I take comfort in the fact that our friends raise them with loving kindness and do the slaughter in as gentle ("halal") a way as possible.

Real Coca-Cola. The kind made with sugar, and not HFCS. I don't drink soda very often, so when I do, I do it right. Damn, this stuff is good.
I hope you drank it the only proper way ... ice cold straight from the glass bottle (no drinking glass, no ice).

Sunday night ...
Goat roast tonight ... yum yum!

The way the members of this board come together and try to come up with ideas to help a fellow member in need. See yesterdays posts in the Complaint Thursday thread. Restores my faith in humanity with the loving kindness shown to Chris in UT.
Simply AWESOME!
EDIT: NOT A SHAMELESS PLUG FOR MYSELF.

We've done that. We've eliminated all white flours and refined sugars other than the occasional jelly bean or M&M as a treat. The sugars are the main culprit; there's no doubt about that. I've seen that with my own eyes. But yes--diet does indeed play a major roll ... except we've done away with the typical triggers.
*sigh*
I actually have a headache from worrying over this.
Sorry to keep pestering you, but ...
Have you thought of "alternative" (not Western medicine) treatments ... maybe cognative therapy through a trained child Psychologist and / or a holistic approach to treatment?

Chris,
I really feel for you and what you are going through. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Please don't take this the wring way, but ADHD is the diagnosis de jour. It's a "catch-all" and easy diagnosis ... meaning it's what is diagnosed when the docs don't want to work hard at the problem ... IMO. Have you had her tested for allergies? I am also wondering if these symptoms started once she went to school and if she is the only student diagnosed? I have heard of cases where these symptoms were brought on by something (mold, asbestos insulation ...) in the school. IMO the meds only make matters worse and will cause other problems. Docs give them out like candy and the Parms are only in it for the money.
My cousin's daughter was diagnosed and they later found out that she was "bored" and uninspired by the teacher and subject matter. They put her in a "special" one-on-one teaching situation and she has thrived.
Just some suggestions. Take them for what they are worth. I feel your pain.
Take good care.

I know it's not Monday, but ...
Thursday ... lamb stew tonight ... yum yum!!

My usual breakfast this morning ... see up thread a bit.
Last night's supper ...
Spinach spaghetti with a red lentel and roasted red pepper sauce.
The red lentels (a great source of protein when not having meat ... we use them in every pasta dish) are cooked for about 15 minutes (or until tender) in 2 cups of water with olive oil ... nice and juicy.
Seasoned with fresh oregano ... we bring in herbs from our garden every fall to hold us over. Reminds me of a story ... we have two cats ... Jake, who lives in our house with us and Chester ... the neighbours cat who pisses in our herb garden ... I digress.
Chopped onions and yams and fresh cranberries.
Pop it all in the oven at 375 for about 40 minutes to let it all mix together nicely and to make the yam and onion tender.
With italian herb / seed bread.
To drink ...
Me = mango juice with sparkling Bosnian mineral water.
My wife ... cranberry juice with the same water as above.
Yum, yum ...
EDIT: FYI ladies (and to a lesser degree gentlemen) cranberry juice is a wonderful natural defense against UTI.
What are you currently reading?

The first book I mentioned is not for the faint of heart, not that I think that you are. It also contains very graffic descriptions from torture and rape victims.
Sorry for your loss.
I know how difficult it is to deal with the passing of a good friend / family member.
