Neat pictures,, and we are alive...

We've spent the day here trying to survive darth princess' strep throat. She's been quite tempermental, and we actually had to get some medicine down her. After a 3 year avoidance of it, you can imagine it did not go well. I wasn't sure if her dad and i would survive, either from her or each other. 45 minutes of sitting, tears, screaming, a potty break, spitting up, and screaming she drank it herself. Holding my hand, and with her dad awaiting a spoon of chocolate ice cream. Note to self, the screaming actually seemed to help her throat though. Cleared up some of the gunk. You needed to know that didn't you?
Anyway, i came across these really neat pictures of different working situations. They certainly put things in perspective in some instances.
Here is the link to the photos, there are some really neat ones!

Having split my hand open on a toilet, and having to have surgery on it because of that makes this one near and dear. Those are very sharp. I hope they are careful.

Bulgaria's parliament has approved plans to seek European Union permission to re-launch two old nuclear reactors mothballed when it joined the EU two years ago. The two aging 440-megawatt reactors at the Kozlodui plant were shut down in 2007. The government says Bulgarian businesses lost euro100 million (US$129 million) when Russian natural gas supplies were suspended for nearly two weeks. (AP Photo/Petar Petrov) #

This one breaks my heart. These kids are around the age of my little man. I can't even imagine the childhood they are having.
