Happy Birthday Joana!!

[lolabella]

Thanks for sharing the vids! Looks like a gorgeous day in Hamburg. I only have one issue with them...you are not in any of em. I want to see birthday celebrations!

We threw quite the party for you on Saturday at Bad Boyz...sorry you missed it. I have plenty of pics (and some pressies too). Will send them on when I get home!

Happy Birthday Joana!! Sorry I'm a bit late. You were missed Saturday, but thought about often.

[Joana]

Wow- even more sweet words for me......

Nessie- there were some vids where I tried to film myself- but as I couldn't control what exactly the cam was videoing I ended up taking shots of my t-shirt and my eyes.............not really clever.

And I wish I could have been there with everyone- I have to admit I am jealous of all those who are in Playa right now. Not because of Playa- but because of the TOGETHER aspect. Gnnnnnnn.

But one day........

Don't think there's anything wrong with your t-shirt or eyes?

Since we're at it, I've had a cold and I'm still nursing a raspy cough. What's your advice on self-medication, please?
I've been drinking a mix of honey, eucalyptus and lemon but the fags kind of undo all the good work.
Also, I had some mosquito bites round my ankle, which I scratched religiously (a la Holy Inquisition, if you see what I mean): since I forgot to clip my toenails they've become sores and Paddy keeps trying to lick them. Is this bad, do you think I should cover them or Paddy might make them go all infected and stuff? She does that at night when she jumps in bed.
By the way, is it healthy to sleep with a bitch?
I noticed some of the Peeps have ben careless with their sun exposure and have turned a shade of red that makes me squirm everytime I look at them. I was thinking of suggesting aloe vera but don't know if some of the poor wretches might be alergic to it (you know, squeeze the leaves and spread the goodness, coz it worked for me when I first got here - although it ruined my white linen shirt because I put it on before it was absorbed).
Is there such a thing as being allergic to aloe vera?
Another pressing matter, if you don't mind: why is it that eating eggs for breakfast seems to induce seasickness more than any other foods?
Stew came diving with me yesterday and was turning a sickly shade of yellow by the end of the first dive (Tortuga. Yes, it has reopened!). I suppose I dind't help by telling him stories of big waves, high seas and bouncing boats but I had no idea these could induce yet more discomfort ().
At some point he wanted me to disembark him at Phase 1 so he could walk all the way back to the shop instead of staying on my boat.
Is there a psychossomatic aspect to motion sickness you may be aware of?
Thanks for your time, is it true that you can't charge for consultations while you're still a student doctor? I ask because I have a ton of other questions I'd like answered and low season is upon us.

OMG!!!
Poor Paulo.........you sound like a scratching, snotty, itching mess! Joana better get paypal!

And Stewart....................sorry, couldn't help myself!

The following pics were supposed to be displayed Saturday night, but I couldn't find a decent connection to upload the pics. But, it's still your birthday week so here you go!!!

(p.s. you'll notice that I forgot to turn the flash on for some of the pics...those were taken on Friday night so I cannot be held responsible...

Oh. My. God.

You, Nessie, just made me CRY here because of the sweet idea you had!!!
And everyone else who posed for those made me cry, TOO!!!!!

That is SO, SO, SO sweet!!!!!!!!!!!

Gosh.

It was a really nice b-day before - but now it is one of THE ones to remember.
Folks on the other side of the world thinking of me..............

THANK you Nessie and THANK you everyone!!!!!!!!!

Just thanks!!!!

And P.S.: Those who know me know that I am usually not a "crier". Just to point out the fact of how much you guys moved me.
