Anger is not good for you

I signed Philip and Thomas up for a swimming club that meets two times per week. Thomas was sick on Tuesday, so we did not go. I thought our places were secure. I guess I was wrong. The women who controls the club gave their places away. I came today with the boys and the lady said they had no place. So Philip and Thomas will not be on the swim team this spring. I would not be so angry, but this same women prevented the boys from going to their swim lessons 3 times last fall. I had paid for the lessons (10 lessons). She would not let them in the pool because they didn't have the swim club passes (you don't receive these passes for swim lessons). She was so awful to the boys. She was clearly prejudice towards them. I'm sure if they were anyone else kids she would not have given the passes away. She would have called first. I am angry, but I am going to just forget it. Some people just hate foreigners. That is her problem, not mine. I will take the boys to Taekwondo and forget swimming. We will find our way. It's there loss! Thank God I haven't met many people that are so narrow minded. My boys are wonderful,and many people understand this fact!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
