Evening all.


Lew, huge thanks for the calendar, its hanging in a special place, behind the dunny door........no, its hanging in the kitchen on the freezer for the girls to write their shifts on.......

work is still sh**y, looks like the boss did;nt sell the business and now is acting like a *@*#*^@ because he didnt, he's very moody, jovial one minute firing people the next...... just trying to hang in there and hope it gets better...

Mary, guess what........we might have found a builder....I know you've heard that one before however this time its looking ok, its a kit home and plenty of work for us to do, but thats nothing new for us....will keep you posted.

Hello Everyone,Happy New Year to you all.Boy its been hot for the past 2 weeks.
Mary I hope your husband is feeling better.

I have had the grandchildren from Castlemaine since the 1st. of Jan., they went back on tue13th.We had a great time,I felt very relaxed while they were here.
I had my yearly systoscopy yesterday I telephoned the hospital to get the time for admittance and LOL they said 6.30am, I just Laughed and then I put the phone down and the S--T hit the fan.My daughter walked in at 5.30. and I told her the good news,she said we will have to go down to Sydney Now ## I said not before we find some where to stay. So we ended up at the airport at the Formular 1, It isnt that far to the Hurstville Private Community Hospital.We managed to leave Bathurst at 6.10.Not Bad a good time to travel to Sydney
The Doctor said everything looked good *yipee* but why do they come to you when you really are not with it fighting to keep your eyes open, he did say other things but I cant recall what he said.
Cheers to June ,Tony,Laurie,Mary in Syd.Lewella ,JA on the Limestones Plains ,HZ by the River and Pearl of the South.
Almost forgot , the Cow Girl Best wishes to you all and I am waving my wand, Casting a spell for buckets of rain where ever its needed.Wattle on everyone lol

Hi everyone.. Gonna be a hot one for the rest of the week,,butter...roll on winter...

Sandra If you are having problems with the puta ring Dell as their support men are just great and they will come out to the house and sort you out..They also have great support over the net..when I bought my new lappy last year it came with American keyboard configuration and when I typed something correctly on my keyboard it came out with something different,,I contacted their on line support and got a lovely girl in Malaysia who walked me through to where she could take over the puta and sorted it out and put in the correct configuration for Australia,,we had a lovely chat after she had finished as being born in that country myself we had a lot in common..she was just lovely..
Hope it is now working well for you..I just love my new lappy..did you get a lappy or a desktop..AND WE STILL HAVENT HAD ENOUGH RAIN..lol

Marie What a trying time having to get to Sydney at that time of the day..and even in Sydney having to be somewhere that early..not a easy time..Glad the results were good though, so you can at least now relax..

Merle How is the knee after the tweeking...hope it feels a lot better. Big Hugs..

Lew. Trust you to sneak in a pinch a number,,,that will be 2 purple pills for you now to cure you of the habit...

June So glad you have a new builder,,They might be a bit more considerate now that there is a recession on and be keen to build your house..Any work is good work at the moment.. Are your final plans still the same..

HZ Don'T go working to hard..I hope you get another girl soon..

Well its that dreaded H...k day today as the maid has the day off so its my job..lol..How is it that some people have maids and I dont,,I musta done sumfink wrong in my childhood..hee hee hee...

Big Hugs for all..

Love Mary xxxxx

Arvo.

Warm to Hot day in Melbin. Temp gauge on the decking reads 38-39c.

Roads are reasonable quite, as still a lot of peeps on Holidays, or its to hot to venture out.

Australia day B.B.Q coming up next Monday, and kids and grandies coming down...................and all being well, if its not total fire ban the local council will provide us a all outdoor concert and tucker with a muliti-cultral flavour,and a spectactular fireworks display as usual.

Lunch time here, so a nice Ham n' salad sanga seems the go.

Best wishes to all who are not 100%

Tony......:>)) * Sitting under the Air-Con*.....lol

hello To All, We have had a couple of cooler days (sigh) but soon to warm up they reckon.
Tony you can keep your temps to yourself lol only place to be but under the aircon.
Is Barb at the tennis this week?

Yes Mary the Dell people are good,the guy we called in was a local one,and when explained was simple.
We are now sorting out stuff we put on thumb drive from old pc, we could have transfered directly with special cable but some parts were corupted so did'ent want to pass that over to new one.We have another desktop which suits us.

Hope all those in hot places are keeping cool.

hello all - we are having a hot and cold week. one night it's too hot to sleep and the next, I'm eyeing off the doona again!!!

Will see if I have your email, Sandra.

Could anyone tell me if a notebook is the same as a laptop?? They all look the same in the cattledogs.

So you're a tennis widower again Sir Tones!! That time of year seems to come around awfully quickly!

~~~~~~~~~~ and love to all,

Marie - glad you had a good Dr report.

Vonny

Hi Vonny.

A notebook is a Lap top.
A laptop computer, is also known as a notebook computer.

Barb uses a Sony VIAO notebook.... aka laptop computer.

Hello to all

Sandra, same here, we had a couple of cooler days and nights, but we
are heating up again today, Monday. I see a lot of peeps returning from
holidays tomorrow, all want their papers redelivered. But the town is full of
holiday visitors, while the locals are starting to talk "back-to-school". I
have got DD17 at our front counter in the shop, she is enjoying the contact
with a wide variety of people and also the $$'s, but in particular starting to
appreciate how her parents feel getting home at the end of a long day!

Marie thanks for the wish for buckets of rain, there will definately be a "dance"
here when it finally comes! Hard to imagine now at 37 degrees and more tomorrow.

~~ Mary, new gals are appearing out of the woodwork for the shop - firstly
today our own DD17 who coped with a number of out of the ordinary situations
with aplomb - so grateful she can help, and she likes the $$. Word of mouth
is working, tomorrow 2 lasses are coming in to see us about work......... one OH
knows and is keen on, the other has a lot of expereince on paper then had a
trauma, is now ready to get back in the workforce.

Oz day in Albury is also a big Council day here Tones, Noriel Park by the river is
the venue and there is the Annual Raft Race - teams, individuals, all dressed-up,
huge hilarity when the fire brigade gets the hoses out ! Starts with the Aussie
breakfast, later the camp oven gets firing for bring your own pizza, damper, fruit
pies etc etc, all day long music and craft tents, usual tug'o'war between the footy
teams, three legged races,egg and spoon, painted faces, paddle pools and
jumping castles, clowns, ice-cream cart, usually with a big screen Aussie movie
at dusk............. huge day !

Could have sold ten Tennis programs today if we had any left! Seems the competition
is pretty good this year, looking forward to catching Bar-Code on the big screen lol !
Enjoy your peace and quiet Tones !

Better go, summer berries on offer, can't resist.......... ~~~ to all, Hz

P.S. I think a lappy and a notebook tre the same Vonny, but I'm not an expurt!

evening all,

from a sun scorched Adelaide........ forgotten what rain looks like......think its wet stuff falling down but not really sure...............

had a lovely over night stay in Victor Harbor on the weekend, saw some old friends, ate some good food and spent a lot of money on the makings of a new quilt...... finished the stained glass quilt, took 7 years, and its now up will take photos....

Mary, we have designed yet another new plan, based on the new company we are going with, as the walls will be coming in panels so windows and such have to be fitted in with the panels widths. however its the best design yet.........been talking to the earth movers so will porbably have the drive way before winter....fingers crossed...

must go Oh wants puta

nite all sleep well

love June (Moo)

Tony: my daughters name is BarbaraI named her after my sister.Sounds like your Barb is having a great time I hope she Slips Slop and puts on a hat.
Did I tell you all I went and saw the movie'",Australia " I thought it was great, Americans dont know a good thing when they see it.Have a nice Evening All
Marie.

Afternoon Peeps
Well, its been ages since Ive looked in here, suppose you all thought Id shrivelled away...lol, Noooo, you canat get rid of me that quick

First off, Happy New Year to all, and hope this year brings the best of eveything for us all

Welcome home Lara and Tiger, see from the happy mini meet shots that a good time was had by all once again, doesnt surprise me with that crazy lot up there...LOL

Great job on that swimming pool Sir Tone, and happy paving now

Wow June, looking forward to the snaps of your quilt, sounds wonderful, 7yrs, sheesh, talk about stamina, I gave up after two weeks and five patches, and I might add, they were only six inch squares, think I might need quite a few lessons from the mistress, when you have some spare time...hee hee

Hi Marie, glad you liked the movie, bit dissapointed in it myself, great scenery, but the story itself didnt impress me

~~~~~~to antbody else peeking in

Love
Shaz xx

Hello bootiful peeps, I've had my Knee stretch and can't believe the difference. Bleedin' sore but no pain. I'm walking so much better and managing the exercises much easier. Isn't that wonderful?It's back to physio as soon as we can find enough to run the class for the next six weeks , but I don't mind that. Swellings gone down by half already. I'm on the bottom of the waiting list for the other Knee which the xray says is as bad as this one. I won't mind the wait. The thought of another lot doesn't perzacly thrill me to the eyeballs..
We've had some really hot weather for Albany. Even a 38. How about that. Even had a fan in the bedroom..
It was himselfs birthday last Saturday so G D no 3 and self went to his fave squid shack to have lunch for him. The others were all in Perth for a wedding. Emma looked after Casey while I was in horsepiddle. She, casey was 16 on the 9th.Still going strong but pretty blind now and gets upset if I'm a bit late turning on a light. Still turns up at 8-30 and pats my leg to say come on mum, bedtime, so I watch t.v.from the bed. Yeah I know, she rules the roost, but have to admit it's not so lonely that way.
Noeline and Shevaun have moved in to their "new" home. It's strange not having them so close but we'll get used to it. Anyway, enough of this gabble, must away. Catchya luv Me

Merle - what great news. So happy for you. (((((BIG HUGS))))) Glad you enjoyed 'himself's' birthday in style too :)

Thanks for the info Sir Tone and Hz. Am beginning to look wistfully at a lappy/notebook.

Has anyone else tried to change their membership from Continuous to Single? I don't want to renew this year but I can't change the account!!! keep getting this message:

" Error! That site name is not allowed, please choose another"

Which is a bit of a worry as I am not trying to open a new site!!!

Love to all - glad the house looks like it is finally going ahead Moo :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vonny

Morning all.. We have hot and humid again..But we did get some rain and a good storm last night,,9000 homes were blacked out near us and I saw the lightening strike that did it,,It was so close I thought it was just over the front units it was so close..Anyway our lights just went out and came back on again so was happy about that..another forecast for tonight..

Merle I am so glad to hear that things are on the up and up again..
Now be a good girl and look after yourself and no dancing or skateboarding yet..hee hee hee...BIG HUGS..xxxxx I am sure Himself enjoyed his birthday as much as you did..

Vonny While looking at lappys have a look at the 17" lappy by dell... The larger screen makes a lot of difference and the keyboard is the same as a desktop keyboard with the extra numbers on the right hand side,,I am very happy with mine..

Been up watching the tennis and feel so sorry for those people that have to stay up to 9 or 10 o'clock to start their matches..Its much to late to be playing tennis,,especially at that top level..

Vonny email them and tell them your problem,,and tell them you are not renewing..That way they cant say they didnt know..

Got an Australia Day dinner tonight so NO COOKING,,yyyaaaayyyy

Love to all Mary xxxxx

Bit of a front just came through here this late afternnoon, it has been a horrible gusty bleathery day, small rain squalls only, more dust than anything in the air - YUK YUK YUK !
Vonny I just checked my GR status and the button is ticked for Continuous, I was able to change it to single and back again OK. As Mary says, perhaps you had better email GR. I still stay here because I like reading the tips, I have had some really good hints about websites and computer probs.

Merle, so glad the tweek helped (sounded a bit painful though!), you'll be dancing in no time. Nothing much to do about the heat except hibernate I reckon - my least fave time of year. I haven't been doing my morning walk because I get home so hot and sticky that even a shower before dressing for work doesn't help, I feel sweaty all day.

Enjoy the Aussie Day meal Mary, I like no-cook evenings too ! Just grilling tonight, but I'm pigging out on frozen blueberries at the moment, don't know if I want a whole meal anyway. OH won't be home till late - shop-fitters were still finishing off their handywork today, but all the machinery is working, so we are hot to trot.

Enjoy your evening all, ~~ Hz

Afternoon to All, I guess we are all sweltering in the heat of the last week with no end in sight. Aircon has been running a lot the last few days.

We have had some thunderstorms but our suburb seems to miss the rain every time (weird).

merle glad to see things are looking up for your knee now.

I did consider not renewing at one time but like you Hz I like the tips and have found lots of contacts re my tree since being a member so will carry on with it.
Have been watching the tennis quite a bit,oh well only another week and it will all be over.

Quite a lot going on in the Gong on Australia Day but I won't be there,the crowds are to big for my liking.

So have a happy Australia Day one and all.

Cheers Sandra in the Gong
