			<description>Well just about, just need to buy the clear vinyl stuff I want to cover top of table. Brought the set of TM probably close to 18months ago with plans of recovering the chairs and re-painting it all, and now in the last week I've finally finished it. This is what happens when I'm not working as much lol. Please ignore any mess in the background or on the floor.



Table:









Chairs:









And put it all together:

Although the bell bird is small it flies to the crown of the white pine - meaning achievement is not the result of stature, even a person of humble station can attain success

I thought I had failed it as I was way under work count and it was not well but together.

I got it back today with a 60% pass mark on it.]]></description>

			<description>I am proud of my son, he is a wonderful and loving father  



I have a 1 min video captured on my cell phone. When i strongly miss my son and my gran-children - I watch it - anytime of the day..anywhere i happen to be. My son picks up his daughter of 2yrs and dances her around...... at the end she claps    An individual dance follows - such a giggle, a funny sorta bottom hip wiggle...oh and she gives herself a clap when she is finished her dance lol again!.  </description>

			<description>Hi All,

I am a member of a toastmasters club which is all about gaining the confidence to speak in front of people,  and today I took part in our club speech competition where I gave a speech about depression.  I pleased to report that I took first place.  I will now polish up the speech a bit and then enter the area competition in a few months time.  I thought I'd share the speech with you here.

			<description>Well, I've taken another chance on me and entered some 'stuff' in our local annual writing competition here in the Rangitikei. 



I entered it last year, with just one poem - the first time I've ever backed my writing, other than here at TBBD so I figured, Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained and I've entered it again. One short story and 15 poems of sorts. 



And if I don't win, oh aint I go feel silly, 'cos I won it last year. Bugger. I have hopes and dreams now.

			<description>Decided to take the car out to go over to Leamington and check the op shops there for yellow material. Couldn't get the speed up above 40km and managed fine. Was gonna use it to go on and do my grocery shop, but then a stone came up and hit the car so I panicked a bit and drove straight home and parked it up and walked to do my shopping. Figure if maybe I can take it out during the day and even just circle the block or town or something I'll get back onto driving.</description>

			<description>I got through work today and the past two days which have all been quite busy, without rarely panicking at all. Was able to spot things that might cause one and avoid them. Even told the duty manager that I now work with about them. Found out he'd volunteered me to be used for packing at checkouts when they needed it, I had a talk to him and said there's no way I can do it because of getting panic attacks in crowds of people. He was cool with it and said that he'd let them know they can't use  ...</description>

			<description>It sits a littleuncomfortably possibly  because we have been told its a bad  thing but more likely because we are just unused to allowing ourselves to see the good we all have in us.



I am proud of my daughter, many of you know how she rocks! And if I take pride in her and who she is I must be proud for my part in who she is becoming. I helped to create her and I have been the greatest influence on her life....good and bad (we all know my struggles). But without some of the experiences she  ...</description>

			<description>OK I dont know if i have anything to be overly proud about but ill start at the basics.



I am proud of myself because i set my alarm early this morning so i could get up and hang my washing out. Doing washing is my pet hate and i cant stand it, hate it in winter and even hate it in summer, i just can't seem to do it.  I managed to do 3 loads and hang them out all before i got ready for work this morning. I even made it to work on time so i guess thats 2 things to be proud of. Oh and the fact  ...</description>
