What's this look like? In my garden.

May I just say what beautiful pictures from everyone. This is a Sunset shot from Whatawhiwhi one evening. Sunsets up that way are rather spectacular.

I’ve known waay too many exceptions to that “good housing is the solution to all our problems” scenario.
Yes, and I've seen many ideas that are housing and are not a "norm" but are perfectly acceptable.Good ventilation on t'other hand is important Without our health system I'd be dead and it does bring home the appreciation of it being there. Education is up there as well for me as this alone can solve many house and health issues. Jus' sayin'

Hard News: Democracy Night, in reply to Kumara Republic,
Yes most definitely. Sad because it ends up being a bitch fight instead of valid discussion. What gets me is the energy required , which having lived through death throes and came out the other end, seems like such a waste of time.

I’ve always understood it to indicate a certain amount of insincerity, or at a minimum a lack of caring about their audience outside of the issue they are concern trolling on (hence the “troll” part.) Otherwise it’s just called “being annoying”, which lacks the same punch.
That is Red Alert if one cares to pop over there and read the comments from "used to be a Labour Voter but not now because you really need to blah blah blah"

This Granny piece does suggest where I thought we were headed with my comments yesturday with regards SOE’s that Key Inc is commandeering for the good of his people.
Peters is first horse to bolt outta the box
Maori interest expressed as they go around the first corner and…

Hard News: Democracy Night, in reply to Sacha,
Maori Party are already talking about how amongst those they represent, there is interest to support assets sold. That would solidify Key Inc agenda. It would keep those who support sales who are Maori constituents, and those against, well Turia and Sharples are off soon but they will get a trade off which can please those opposing. As soon as Maori Party agrees, I bet it will be monotonous through the media, " Majority of Parliament supports this".
Everyone will pop off for Xmas holidays just like RWC and when people come back for the new year all fresh and relaxed, BOOM! -
Last night, the Prime Minister said support for partial asset sales would likely be part of agreements with Act and United Future but not with the Maori Party, which opposes the plan.
And that is all that Key Inc. needs. Can't see a conscience vote being an option. Maori Party will support Assets gone because they want particular points scored this time. They already announced that some Iwi were interested in buying shares. They will win one way or another, so supporting sales can work for them. Plus John Banks isn't really ACT so MP are not going against their word of never dealing with ACT.
Key Inc. is talking sales every day, it's coming and it's coming soon, leaving little time to protest. -
Capture: Walk across the rooftops., in reply to Islander,
O joy!
I get to laugh every day because of Stella. She has a very individual personality. I especially like the "reversing across the room into the kitchen area" and then she sits and looks at the fridge. One bark if I ignore her. She is a lovely bitch. :)
