Read the bit on the horse flu.  Thanks for filling in the picture!
 
 CS> Meantime Charlotte is regaling and grossing out her friends with foods
 CS> she likes.  'Fish sticks' were served yesterday and she explained what
 CS> the real thing is.  I've been demanded to make 3 of them sometime soon
 CS> for her to take to lunch so she has 2 to share <g>.

 GJ> Have you been able to do that yet?

Not yet.  Havent found any whole fish we liked the looks of yet.  Heck, I'm
still showing Don how to use our oven  Has a different sort of oven (buttons
vice dials for the heat).

 CS> Dunno what she's tld'em but she's fitting in better than I had
 CS> expected. 

 GJ> Good.  If she can entertain the other school kids, that helps.

Sadly she found out that 'halloween here ends age 13' (some of her age mates
say it's not cool to go out over age 12).  awwww.  Oh well.  She's going one
last time anyways and taking the neighbors 4yo out as a cover <g>.  Thats one
of the holidays that vary with age and Virginia beach ends a bit earlier than
most I'd say.  Sasebo, it was 'cool' up to age 16.  Most places, 14 or 15.

She said some of her classmates looked like they really wanted to go but were 
peer pressured into not doing it.  Part of Charlotte's charm is she really 
doesnt give a rats ass about peer pressure.  She wears funky glasses chains
I've
gathered all over asia and she likes them.  When one of the girls said it was 
'wierd' she said 'well, I like wierd and I like these. I also like your
earrings and they are kinda wierd' (kid was wearing something that looked like
fishhooks).

Anyways, she's dressing up as a geisha (have kimono and hair chopsticks).
-- Oh man
later edit.  News just listed rules and over age 12 isnt allowed?  Hell with
them.  She's going out just along our block to see the sights and have a little
fun.  We'll take Christopher with us (age 4).

 CS> Yes, though she's always been a little bit on the loner side.  Singlit
 CS> syndrome there and common.

 GJ> If she has learnt to deal with being herself, that would help.

She has.  Likes having friends but doenst have to have other kids around 24/7.

 GJ> civilised Charlotte will be able to invite school friends home to see
 GJ> what sort of a weirdo mother she has, who gives her daughter dead fish
 GJ> to eat for lunch.  :)
 
 CS> Yuppers!

 GJ> Hehe!  That should be interesting.

 GJ> I have just heard about the oldest living animal to be discovered.  It
 GJ> is a clam, dredged from the Atlantic near Iceland.  By counting the
 GJ> rings on its shell it was found to be 405 years old.  I don't know
 GJ> what happened to it.

I heard a bit about that one.
