This is the anniversary of when we drew the line in the sand
by nugget intoday is my daughter's 11th birthday and she is super excited.
and today i baked her a boston blackout cake just as i did last year.
the smell of it baking reminded me that this was when we made our first stand for our children and was a significant step as we exited.

Secret Santa 2010 update
by nugget injust thought i'd check in to see if anyone has received their gifts yet.
in the uk the country has ground to a halt due to the snow so it is likely that gifts to and from abroad are sitting in a snowy terminal somewhere, but i want to be sure that things were going smoothly elsewhere.. also thanks for all our fabulous cards i have now run out of shelf space it is awesome.. .

How many meetings did you actually enjoy?
by nugget ini was talking to my husband and we were trying to work out how many meetings we actually came away from feeling enthused or excited by what we had heard.
not including pre and post meeting association how many wow moments can you recall?.
we had to conclude that most of the time in the organisation the meeting was something you endured.

How many people who heard Millions now living talk are still alive?
by nugget ini was wondering it's been approximately 90 years since this talk was given so how many people who heard it could relaistically be alive now?.
the country with the greatest life expectation is japan and there the average life expectation is 82. the country with the worst record is mozambique with an average life expectancy of 43.. in developing countries 16% of the population is over 65 whereas only 6% of people in developing countries meet this criteria.
only 7% of the worlds population is over 65.. so if the worlds population is 6.6 billion does it mean 463 million are over 65. however if the best average life expectancy is 82 then the proportion of the 463 million that are 90 and over must be incredbly small.
