I think I heard that the warships off the coat of Myanmar finally gave up hope of docking and have turned back to head to their origination points.  What a terrible shame, I can only imagine the suffering that will be continuing on in that country because of the steadfast belief by their leader that there are ulterior motives behind the humanitarian aid.  I think that the leader of that country should be ashamed of himself.  Actually I have much stronger feelings than that, but I will keep them to myself.

One of my friends asked me to babysit for her tonight so she can go out to eat dinner with her hubby to celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary.  I said, sure, I’d be glad to babysit.  They have a little baby that is only three months old, they said they’d bring the baby over here and come back to get her around nine.  So, I’m expecting them to arrive any minute now.  I adore babies, especially when they are so young that they can’t run away from you or talk back to you!  I love to rock them and cuddle with them.  I’m looking forward to babysitting this one, she is a sweetie pie!

I heard on the news that the broken toilet on the space station was repaired yesterday.  Apparently the pump for the liquid waste disposal on the space station toilet has been broken for an entire month.  The astronauts have had to use a manual pump to operate the toilet while waiting for new parts.  They had replaced the broken pump three times, and each time the new pump failed.  I heard that there is only one toilet on the entire space station.  I think that is pretty bad planning!  I’d never want to live in a house that only had one toilet!
