So before I start whining have a look at this MODIS mosaic image of Antarctic ice loss between 1996 and 2006. The colours indicate the speed of the ice loss. Purple/red is fast. Green is slow.The ice in the form of glaciers flows towards the surrounding sea like icing on a cake. Around the coast where the ice forms a floating shelf, the warmer waters are causing the ice to thin and collapse and the glaciers are able to flow faster. So it's not so much the ice melting, it's the reason that it's melting, ocean currents are changing and becoming warmer.
WE'RE ALL DOOMED!
I read somewhere today that man has changed the earth so quickly that this time should be named as a new epoch. I don't care, I'll just build an ark and load up the dinosaurs like Noah did. It's true, honest, the Fundies told me.
Chicken Pox has left the building. Mumzilla is still with us. My granddaughter turns 15 next week and is off to France in September with the school group. She's always wanted to see France but she doesn't know that my side of the family originally came from Paris. I haven't seen her or her sister for two years but I did get an email photo about 8 months ago. They're both beautiful.
I have issues with Windows because it won't let me install Ad-aware. It wouldn't even let me install Microsoft ant-malware. I downloaded a program called CCleaner which certainly cleaned up everything including Ad-aware. So that's un-installed. There is a small being that lives inside this machine and if I listen carefully I can hear the bastard sniggering. I had one small victory, my sitemeter button is back, well it's really big news for me. I sweated blood over the html because I had to type it all out because I copied it to clipboard and can't find the clipboard. Little being is sniggering again.
And to top off the week I had two invitations for outing tomorrow, drought/pouring, but one was cancelled until later this month and I was all okay for the other but you know where I'm heading instead. Sound familiar, well today is Groundhog Day in America and I swear I'm living that film.

I suspect one of those life-changing realisations that hurl teenagers into adulthood against their wishes is about occur...
any pics of grand daughters? Who's kids are they? I want some grand daughters or sommat too
Dammit you and Brownie are both late scratchings at the barrier.
Looks like I'll have take on the onerous duty of drinking for 3, eating the fatted calf I prepared earlier and avoid being charged with being drunk in charge of a camera.
I've got the animals lined up and waiting for you..5 cats, 2 dogs, 2 chooks, 3 feral offspring and a partridge in the pear tree :P
Can I send Noise with her? He's very fluent in the native tongue now, you know....
In fact, I'm quite prepared to go as well, as chaperone...
Forget it Fleetwood, she also wants to do missionary work which is something I'm told that every Catholic teen girl wants to do. Her mother was a real raver but she's become preachy.
Therese, I'm waiting in hope for a photo of her on birthday. Grandkids are ace, you get to hand them back, if you get them in the first place.
I'm sorry M'Lord but wouldn't it be better for the two of us to save our energy for your birthday?
Jayne, I got very tired just reading that line up. In my heyday I had one moron, 4 cats, 3 dogs, 1 rabbit and 2 boys (mine and sister's). Just the thought makes me shudder.
Bella, who chaperones the chaperone? You and all that Gallic charm not to mention Lord Hughes just across the Channel.
I was under the impression that most Catholic teen girls wanted to be strippers. Unfortunately most 'em can't fulfil that dream until after they've given birth.
I've got that sniggering little so-and-so's cousin right here in my machine. And I know zip about computers so I'm texting my daughter with every little problem. I think she's getting a little annoyed with me.......
River, I've just installed Service pack 2 for the third time and now I'm going to have a go at downloading the service pack updates. I'm sure I've done this before but it never says, 'it's installed already, stupid' which would let me know.
My brother put spybot on my computer. It's free and apparently it's totally awesome. Here's the site if you want to try it:

Thanks Maja, I've got spybot, AVG and Zone Alarm (all free) but windows just won't recognise Ad-aware 2007 and I had Ad-aware SE. I would like to take every little hacker and shove their hand in a power outlet.
