gosh how could this have happened?
Undertaker opens coffin, finds pulse
KATOWICE, Poland, Jan. 26 (UPI) — A Polish funeral director said he opened the coffin of a 76-year-old man to retrieve items for the bereaved family only to discover the man was still alive.
Jerzy Wisniewski, a spokesman for the Regional Ambulance Service in Katowice, said beekeeper Josef Guzy collapsed near his barn and was pronounced dead at the scene by a doctor, The Times of London reported Tuesday.
“There were no signs of life when his wife called the ambulance. An experienced doctor with a specialist qualification in resuscitation found that the patient was not breathing, there was no heartbeat and the body had cooled — all the characteristics of death,” Wisniewski said.
However, funeral director Darius Wysluchato said he opened Guzy’s coffin later that day to retrieve a necklace for the man’s wife and discovered a pulse.
“I happened to touch the artery in the neck and was totally shocked. I checked it again and shouted, ‘There is a pulse.’ My assistant checked as well. I leaned in close and I could tell that he was still breathing. My God, it was a miracle,” Wysluchato said.
Guzy was rushed to intensive care and was released from the hospital after a few weeks of treatment. He said he is grateful to Wysluchato for finding his signs of life.
“The undertaker saved my life. I am so grateful. The first thing I did when I got out of hospital was take him a pot of honey,” he said.

a new neighbour
A young man moved from his parents home into a new apartment of his own and went to the lobby to put his name on his mailbox. While there, an attractive young lady came out of the apartment next to the mailboxes, wearing a robe.
The boy smiled at the young woman and she started a conversation with him. As they talked, her robe slipped open, and it was obvious that she had nothing else on. The poor kid broke into a sweat trying to maintain eye contact.
After a few minutes, she placed her hand on his arm and said, ‘Let’s go to my apartment, I hear someone coming.’
He followed her into her apartment; she closed the door and leaned against it, allowing her robe to fall off completely. Now nude, she purred at him, ‘What would you say is my best feature?’
Flustered and embarrassed, he finally squeaked, ‘It’s got to be your ears.’
Astounded, and a little hurt she asked, ‘My ears? Look at these breasts; they are full and 100% natural. I work out every day and my butt is firm and solid. Look at my skin – no blemishes anywhere. How can you think that the best part of my body is my ears?’
Clearing his throat, he stammered …. ‘Outside, when you said you heard someone coming…. that was me...

Make your own toilet paper
Do you think that there is too much paper being wasted in your office? Well, the smart folks over in a Japanese company called Oriental have come up with a machine called White Goat. If you’re wondering what a machine with such a funny name does, it converts your normal paper into toilet paper. Just pop in about 40 sheets of paper, and wait for 30 minutes, and you’ll get a nice toilet roll for your efforts. The process involves shredding the paper, after which it is dissolved in water, thinned out, dried and wound into toilet rolls. Pretty cool. The company says it costs 10 Yen ($0.11) to churn out 1 roll, and regular usage of this machine will save up to 60 cedar trees annually. This would probably be a great machine to boost your eco credentials, though there is one snag: you might be cool with it being 1.8m tall and weighing 600kg, but it’ll be priced at $100,000 when it goes on sale in Japan this summer.

floorplan
as shown.the apartment is quite squarish in nature. this is great as there is little to no dead space and we can pretty much utilise all of it. it's not particularly big, being all of 1098 sqft but the fact that there is only 2 bedrooms, results in the hall being pretty large.
intend to convert the other bedroom into a full walk-in wardrobe. between the benevolent empress and myself, we have quite a fair bit of clothes, to understate it a little...hahaha...
we'll have to rip out all the floor and wall tiles for both bathrooms cos they are ugly and stained (nope, no way to save them) and redo all the tiling.
there's a bit of carpentry work to be done with some customised furniture and we'll also be replacing all the kitchen cabinets as they are kinda yucky (awful brown colour and the laminate surfaces are peeling). and if money permits, will be changing all the interior doors to frosted glass ones.
man, that's a lot of moolah down the drain. hopefully it will be all worth it.
