scottishlassAt last I have managed to update half of my sites ... m.i.t.m. and cómhair have been updates and both have new splash pages and cómhair has a new layout due to Sims2 (which I still can't play due to my graphics card, but then again without said gc I couldn't grab all these nice screenies, so ...)
I was so lazy during my break but then again I really needed it :) My parents really drove me off the walls (almost) but as I'm a persona non grata again (YAY!) I think I won't be bothered on that front now for a very long time :)
A new year ... but still the same sad news. What is so surprising and somehow gobsmacking is that Germany allayed 500 Billion Euros for the South Asian Tsunami Disaster. On one hand I'm really relieved they are willing to give so much money on the other hand however I ask myself how they are going to finance it. They cut down the stately pensions, they took money out of the personal pensions as well as the unemployment insurances (which every employee has to pay a monthly fee into and it isn't a peanut amount to which we now have to pay into a personal unemployment insurance out of our pockets which then will be taxed as well). I hope I never grow old or I will starve to death with the measly pension I will get :s
Anyway, I'm glad that money is now on the way to help the destitue as well as helping to build up the infra-structure in South-East Asia.
