The listings are by street, then there is an alphabetical index. So you can find who lives at a certain address, and you can find where someone lives.<br /><br />The street listings include occupation and year of birth, so we call it the "nosy book."naturgesetzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15268507379933286863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269747357135751360.post-23811200146272780952009-12-22T20:36:57.296+00:002009-12-22T20:36:57.296+00:00Being rubbed with Vicks is about the most anaphrod...Being rubbed with Vicks is about the most anaphrodisiac thing I can think of - it stinks of illness, just like disinfectant smells dirty by association with bogs and urinals. Get a nasal spray. No erotic potential in them (that I can see) but they do work.<br /><br />What is the bloody point of Christmas cards? I got four this year, which means I'm not being enough of a miserable cunt. Must try harder next year.<br /><br />Just packed a suitcase the size of a small garden shed with clothes, food and wine to take up to Huddersfield IF the trains are running tomorrow. Why do we bother with all this every year? Makes me want to find a (luxury) hut in a forest and hide until January.Ipmilathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11370120491927658242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269747357135751360.post-83156583326926537322009-12-22T20:09:32.442+00:002009-12-22T20:09:32.442+00:00Steven

Gritters, put grit sand and salt on the roads here.<br />Halifax is a town not a city and i don't think there is a list of residents anywhere that i could look up that easily. Not for the sake of a Christmas card anyway.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17745796890136055707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269747357135751360.post-64758369699462525682009-12-22T18:10:13.367+00:002009-12-22T18:10:13.367+00:00Echinacea seems to work if you start with it early...Echinacea seems to work if you start with it early enough in the cold. It's supposed to boost the immune system. I take 2 caplets of 400 mg each at each mealtime (that's 6 caplets per day) for three or four days, and it seems to work. Maybe it's all psychosomatic, but I don't care as long as the cold stops developing and goes away. (My aunt who must be 85 but could pass for 65 gave me the recommendation.)<br /><br />"Gritters" is a new one on me. I take it they're the ones who plow the snow and sand the streets. Probs the highway department in winter mode.<br /><br />When I had a driveway to shovel (and walkways) I tried to treat it as recreation — carve a block with the shovel, lift, and toss. Sometimes I'd see how far I could toss it. Sometimes I'd build a wall with it. Now I hire a plowman/ploughman for the driveway, and a good neighbo(u)r generally takes care of the sidewalks and the walks from the street with his snowblower/snowblougher (LOL). So all I have for recreational shoveling is a short stretch of sidewalk the he doesn't do because it's beyond my front door and I don't need it, and the walk from the back doo(u)r (LOL) to the garage.<br /><br />Does the City of Halifax produce a list of residents? If so you could find out who near you are named Jean and Steve and invite them over for drinks.naturgesetzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15268507379933286863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269747357135751360.post-23645133962762670722009-12-22T17:59:41.639+00:002009-12-22T17:59:41.639+00:00This is the first Christmas in about 10 years I wo...This is the first Christmas in about 10 years I won't be laid up with flu, touch wood. Having said that the flu jabs, (winter and swine) that I had yesterday are killing me. Hop you feel better soon.
