Gerbo,
How cold is it??? Sorry....no seal recipes here. Actually we're going through a deep freeze as well, yesterday with the wind chill it hit -29 degrees Celsius. Some theorists predict global warming will spark the next ice age.

Gallathea,
At our last visit, I was told as long as the brace fits and it's doing it's job then there is no need to replace it and I get the feeling that replacing the brace is actually discouraged but I'm doing it because Deirdre has grown 4 inches and the brace is in rough shape. It is a big expenditure but we have good insurance and coverage won't be a problem.

Christine,
My husband has scoliosis and he's brilliant! He specialized in Physics in University and he won a very prestigious scholarship based on his marks in University.

Gerbo,

I just meant that there has not been any heavy snow. We have only had a light dusting on the road, not enough to close down any schools. Barely enough for any sledding. The kids want to get at least a few inches. But it has certainly been very cold here. Every hour I have to take my puppy out on a leash. What a pain. She still doesn't get it, so I just have to keep guessing. It is similar to potty training a child in the beginning. I can't wait until she starts initiating.

Hi Melissa
I train all my pups with a bell. I works great. I hang a bell from my exit door knob and everytime I bring my pup out for potty time (not play time) I ring the bell with their nose or paw. I then make a big deal Do you have to go out? Good boy. then bring the pup to the designated potty area. You will be surprised how fast they get it!!

a furnace is a device used in a crematorium, I think you refer to what we call "central heating" which consists of a boiler (which heats the water) pipes and radiators. Most houses would have that indeed although some of the older properties still would have a either oil, gas or coal fuelled fireplace as a way of heating. In ourcase, we have central heating, but also a lovely woodburner in our livingroom, saves on the gas bill and a nice focal point. Please feel free to ask anything else you would like to know about our heating arrangements, and ofcourse if you want to know about our watersupply, well, that's a different story altogether....

[gerbo]

melissa, don't you just hate it how dogwee messes up the beautifull white snow..

[christine2]

You want to see yellow snow I have 4 dogs, We need more snow to cover it!

[gerbo]

dogs should wear nappies!!

[christine2]

O K I'll bite what the heck is a nappie?

[gerbo]

I remember from watching american films; you call them diapers (??) (i think)

It's what that female astronaut wore as she drove 900 miles to confront her rival in that bitter love triangle. I guess she didn't want to make any pit stops along the way LOL!!!
