Good evening one and all - yes most sad the death of Gene - 'The man who shot Libe .. . . . . ' I too Tony have always been a big fan and play his music often 'Only 24 hrs fro. . . ' We were so lucky to grow up with such great music weren't we. 'In the eyes of the world . . . ' I only went to one concert of his here in Sydney in the 70's, and it was wonderful. 'Just one smile to make my life worth living . . . ' Rest in Peace Gene Pitney and thank you! We have been sitting out on the balcony all night, feels like a summers night. Had the BBQ in action and candles fluttering away, Ray needed a wind down after the big drive north and back not to mention the meetings in the middle. Well tomorrow is the big day for youngest son, takes the keys to his new home . . . Yipppeeee he moves out of my home soon ! ! ! ! Just making it out the door before he turne 28. He rang tonight with even better news he is selling his car ! ! ! He drives one of those high powered turbo charged Nissans that so many young folk have died driving too fast and I have always silently prayed for him to grow out of it - well finally a morgage and high petrol costs have forced the issue and its going (thank you Lord) - thats on top of another prayer answered when the motorbike went a few months ago. Poor trifely, not nice is it - I can usually get some relief with stretching exercises - rolling up in a ball with knees under my chin works well for me most times - in fact I do the stretches every morning before I get out of bed - its such a deep hurty pain I will do anything to avoid it. Well its off to bed with me catch you all later - have a great lunch Shaz & Joodles . . . cheers luv Laurie

Morning Folk!! On here early today, pay in the bank so get the bills paid and out of the way. Be glad when the girls orthodantic work is over, takes huge chunks out of the bank account. :-(( Laurie babe, is it your son who's bought a house in Brighton? We lived up the Eventide end for 13 years, 2 min away from the water, then moved away for a year before another 18 months in Seaview St. Now of course we are just on the other side of the bridge. Know how you feel about the damn Nissans. Son no 2 has a Skyline sitting in the backyard. (ours of course, not his) It's never been on the road since he had it. Now he's driving a Silvia. -spelling??? Way too powerful for a 19 year old to be driving. My old man used to listen to Gene Pitney. Unfortunately he thought he could sing like him as well. Guess what.....................he couldn't!!! Poor Trifley..........a friend suffers from the same thing, althought his is lower back. He says lying on the floor with legs up on a chair a right angles often helps. As does a wheat bag nuked in the microwave on the effected area. Hope you feel better soon. Off for some brekky, catch up later. love Rebs x

Hello all Thanks Lols for your wishes that Shazz & I have a good lunch. Sorry you can't be with us - but hope your Drs appointment goes well. Shazz & I and her mate Pat are having fish'nchips at Windsor - miles from the ocean, but the fish tastes like it has just been caught. This place has won numerous awards for their fish'n chips - my mouth is watering at the thought of it. Trifley, so sorry to hear about your Sciatica - will you get some treatment of some kind - acupuncture, osteo, chiropractic???? Rebs - are you getting your smile repaired before Yarrawonga, or are these bills for your daughters smile?? uhmmmm were you also trying to get fit before Yarra??? I would have had to start two years ago !! Have a great day everyone Jood

Morning all, Feeling a bit miz today myself. I seem to have a cold down one half of my face! Weird. Eye, nose, throat but only on one side. :( And, it's my first free day home in ages, was looking forward to some gardening. OK WHO sent the cold weather?????? It's freezing this morning. grump grump. How come all the furry animals come to visit Rebs??? *just mildly wondering * :) Hi meercat. Good news about son's car Laurie. I know what you mean about worry and prayers! My 'boys' all want to do the opposite. They all four want to get bikes!!! because of the petrol prices. catch you all later, Vonny

You know what they say Vonny, be kind to small creatures, children and idiots. So................................... I'm kind to the small creature-Meercat, and in return she's kind to the idiot- me!!! :-pp Lol Jood. If I wanted to be fit for Y'wonga I left it waaaaaay to late to start. Nothing short of surgery is going to shift this lot. Truth is I aggravated an old netball knee injury the other week which stopped me playing a few years back. Only way to fix it is to get off my ample backside and work to strengthen the muscles, hence the weight work. The leg extensions on the bench should do the trick. And once you get started, it's easy to get enthusiatic...............and over do it, as my shoulders are telling me today. lol!!

Rebs ppppppp :) have a good day

Morning Kids! Back in the office and have access to the net. Telstra finally decided to send out a technican (which I have been telling them to do since Sunday!!!!!!!!!), so should have internet at home by tomorrow, hooray. I need to keep online, otherwise it takes me half a day to catch up on this thread. House is slowly coming together. The handyman is there today putting together all the flatpacked furniture and some other guy just turned up to seal the fishpond. Cable Guy and Antenna Guy were there until 6.30 last night and now we're wired for sound (and every other contraption known to man). Received the Winning Lotto numbers thanks Jood (& Tony). Will be in Sydney on Saturday night, so will be in a position to party! Found 2 boxes of my Family Tree research and can't wait to unpack it. Will try and chat again soon. *waves and blows kisses to all* Lew Lew xxx

I got it!!! *waves to Lew Lew*

Buggar I wanted it. Was hoping someone would sneak in under me. Lew Lew xxx

Aaaah lew swore...lol.....hello ....hi Rebs...this is becoming a habit me dropping in to Australia for a late night natter :-)

Lew Lew..............:-ppppppppppppppppppp Hiya Lemsy, how's you Babe??? And you know you're always welcome here. Not the sanest thread on the board, but probably the safest to visit. lol!!

One thing for sure Rebs the longer the thread the safer you are lol.....noone will see the odd naughty bit XXX

Odd naughty bit?? hehehe!!! Nice thing about this thread and it's forebearer is there is no contention. Just a bunch of nutters having a friendly natter.

Well this nutter needs to go to bed soon, my eyes are like P holes in the snow ...sleep safe ....oh no its me thats going to bed.....ooops forgot i was in Oz. Bye rebs, Lew Lew and all XXX

Nutter? Speak for ya self missy, lol, ppppppppppppppp. Lew

Night Babe. Just follow the yellow brick road when you want to come back Lems . pmsl!!! *what other color would it be?*

Follow the yellow brick road, follow the yellow brick road....follow follow follow follow....follow the yellow brick road.....I know go to bed Lems XXX

pmsl!!! Little Red Riding Hood is skipping down the road, when she sees the Big Bad Wolf crouched down behind a log. 'My, what big eyes you have, Mr. Wolf,' says Little Red Riding Hood. The surprised wolf jumps up and runs away. Further down the road, Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf again; this time he is crouched behind a tree stump. 'My, what big ears you have Mr. Wolf,' claims Little Red Riding Hood. Again, the surprised wolf jumps up and runs away. About 2 miles down the path, Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf again, this time crouched down behind a road sign. 'My, what big teeth you have Mr. Wolf,' taunts Little Red Riding Hood. With that the Big Bad Wolf jumps up and growls......... Will you get lost, I'm trying to take a dump. :-)))

Morning Wattlers, Rebs we're not all nutters, well maybe some of the time...lol B cold and wintery in Melb today...its not fair I want the sun, says she who is about to book tickets to the UK for Easter, I hope my daughter appreciates the sacrifice I'm making for her. Its even colder over there, but OH hasnt seen her since Nov so I guess I can make the effort....he he he shopping in Oxford St will be my incentive...lol Wilson did you get any of the rain? I wished it your way. Sad about Gene Pitney, I have all his CDs and been to his show. He will be missed. Well back to balancing books, have a good one everyone Jude2

Arvo Wattlers Rebs...........roflmao haa haa :o) LUVED the wolf joke. Thanks to everyone for the sympathy re my sciatica. It is due to a fall I had some years ago and plays up sometimes. I have tried the stretching exercises and the heat bag and it seems a little easier now. At least I'm not draging the left leg as much. If it hangs around I'll go see our local acupuncture guy. I'm not the type to suffer in silence or not treat things. Aahh, yes. Sons and their cars! They are a worry. But it seems to be about the age of 28 or 29 that they start to mature. I said start! It is a long, slow process unfortunately. Happy thoughts and friendly waves to all of you & yours. Love Trifley, Queen of the Nile
