Saitaman

From Kobe?! Because of the events of March 11th? Bet he must have felt slightly silly.

Sorry should have been clearer... yes, Japanese.

I met someone I have not seen for a few years. Not really friends just acquaintances. Anyway one of the first thing she said was, "oh you have put on weight haven't you". I thought thanks! Certainly I have put on a bit, nothing startling though, but it's a bit of a knock when someone uses something like that as a greeting. I felt like saying back "and you are looking uglier than you used to!". What's the accepted things with comments like this? I don't think I really get it.

What happened to those houses btw?

At first, it was because I thought I mght need to be quickly escaping with all those aftershocks. They have calmed down a lot now here, but I still go to sleep wearing stuff now. Any others? Funny you should say that, same here. Feel mostly back to normal but kept going with that. Oh, and I have 2 basic grab bags ready now, one in the genkan and one in the garage.

Got the bastard at last!

When he was good

I hope no-one has ever taken a vid of me dancing. Not that I have danced in the last few years! Any dancers on here?

Congrats Tubby!

Are they actually 'gates'? (Serious question, I have never been).

Well yes. I expect you know what I mean, Mr Happy.

Is there anything worse?! It should be called colored water, not milk.

There's this girl in our office who no kidding must spend half of the day fiddling about with her keitai phone. Must admit it is getting annoying not only to see all that fiddling about but the fact that she's doing sod all work. What's the policy where you work? If indeed you work for someone other than yourself of course. My company just don't seem to have any kind of policy but this girl is just taking the mickey.

Sunny here in Saitama

I hadn't seen that. Thanks. I'm a fan!

Not me, that's for sure. But this discussion is about helmets/insurance, not shoes.

Is it true that resorts often run lifts at slow speeds on weekdays or when not busy?

Can someone tell me about how long it takes to drive into Yamagata from Zao Onsen? You guys have sold this place on me big time.

I think he was just commenting and probably couldn't care less that you couldn't care less. Likely you couldn't care less about that either! So, is there a point in comments like that? I wear one because I want to. Protection and warmth.

And quickly too!
