I dunno - turn my back for five minutes and everyone comes out to play...lol Too many comments to reply to so I'll just summarise: I am not a schoolteacher...We just happen to have a very well-stocked fridge in the office... Foxes - Love 'em. They eat all our scraps so nothing goes rancid. They just need to learn to untie the bin bags rather than rip then open... Dead pigeons. Hmm - don't know if you saw this down there but it seems there's a pelican that's rather partial to them.. ~~~~~~~~ to all but especially Cat

We had one ( fox ) going through the bins on the naturestrip one night a few years back, and our dogs were going beserk. Barb had two Red Healers, and anyone who has Healers know they love to run/chase. Great rabbit dogs. The dogs were head butting the gates to get out at it. I walked to the gates and opened them a little to shoo it off, and two dogs sqeezed between my legs knocking me A over T The fox, saw them and took off with the two dogs going hell bent after it, and me chasing after the dogs, as they were not street wise,and we live near the Highway. Well i lost them ( the dogs ) and about 10 min later they came walking down the street, and the Female had blood on her mouth, so i think it was good night Irene. Trifley. I hope its a male, ...lol If Barb knew i was harbouring a Vixen under the house..lol...i might wish i was a hubbie living in those magazine days....:>))) Have to agree with what Rebs said, though...LOL Tony Oz..:>))

Waggy - its just a silly joke we have (the numbers) - if you go to the front of the general page, and look for Wattlers, you will see we have (at this very moment) 15962 messages, and when it gets up to 15995, things get very tense as we keep writing msgs to claim the 16000 or 15900. .. Stupid I know, just a game. .. But Cat hides and claims the numbers when we aren't looking !!! lol You are doing well with your aussie interpretations !! Jood

Thats nice Tony, that you have a little critter under your house! Foxes are lovely to look at, I saw one standing on the outside of the shadows from our fire out in the bush one night. .. I know they are a menace tho. .. I heard we had Kangaroos in St Mary's here (anyone who knows where St Mary's is, will know its not exactly bush). .. No idea where it/they came from. Jeffster, are you a school teacher or sometin??? Cat (laughing at you) I don't know what it is, I can't help myself - to check the numbers when you come on!! .. lol Think I'll take an early mark (to bed) Jood

I really dont know what you lot are talking about. I thought that item in the magazine was how we looked after our Husbands nowadays. I do, and amazed that you lot dont seem to agree.. I give him breakfast in bed every day and find his glasses for him and get his meals and do his washing and ironing and everything else mentioned in the magazine..I thought that was what a wife did for her husband. pmsl... OKOK I tell a lie...but I bet you lot thought I was fair dinkum.. Tony OH a fox.. they are so cute but dont tell the farmers you have one.. Didnt get my martoonie tonight,,OH said he preferred to have white wine, knowing me I drink anything so will save it for tomorrow.. Wilson The crops looked so sad when we drove through Vic. last week. Friends of ours have a farm at Murphys Creek and they are really struggling. I wander if the headers can get down low enough to harvest the crop. Had a lovely lazy day and started searching for OH side of the family..I am lucky as part of it has been done by a cousin so I have help. Well I think it is time to hit the hay so see ya in the morning Love Mary xxxx

Evening Wattlers Gwenda yes Tamika is a lot better today and she enjoyed her first day at work, she was on the registers and said it was really busy and she had a bit of trouble learning the codes but all in all she liked it. I dont know so much if my Mum lived by the 1955 housewife, but she done more than some will do. My Dad used to work early hours of the morning from 2.30 til about 9.30 delivering newspapers from Launceston to Burnie. so when the alarm went off to wake Dad, Mum would get up and make him a cuppa and a snack, sit up with him til he had finished and gave him a kiss when he left then she would go back to bed. We never did any housework as Mum cooked, washed up, cleaned our room, washed and ironed our clothes, gee why did I ever leave home???????? Well I have prodical son staying a couple of days at my place, things had blown up again with girlfriend/partner, so they have split, hopefully for good, I know that sounds mean but if they are going to fight all the time they are better off apart, he came here and asked to use the phone to ring Anglicare to see about anger management so hopefully he is starting to wake up to himself, I also told him to ask them if they can help with emergency accomodation to get him a place of his own and to be by himself for a while to sort himself out. ~~~~~ to all~~~~~ Cheers Sue

Yes Tony You could say it is that dry lol. This year won't be as bad as last for us, but that is just lucky. Last year was not good. We don't have stock, so at least don't have to worry about trying to feed them. I feel sorry for the farmers who have to get rid of there breeding stock. Wilson

Flakey, Jood, what numbers? I think I'm missing summat! Nice speech, Tony, and mostly in English English too. And I know what a 'coldie' is, thanks to my Aussie dictionary. So sorry to hear about the poor lad who comitted suicide, Anna. The pressure is just the same over here, and it's all to do with targets. It seems the schools are competing to get as many kids as possible into uni, regardless of their aptitudes or wishes. Waggy

Hi Wilson. Yea'h....... its only a cub, and will let it stay for awhile, as long as it keeps its thumping down at night. Thought i had been seeing a few dead pigeons around the house lately, thought it might have been cats...lol The land up your way must be as dry as dead Dingo's donga mate. Not a good season for our farmers..... can only pray for rain. Best wishes. Tony Oz..:>))
