Happy Australia day everyone. I thought IGA looked better.says she wriggling in embarrasment.Still you never know, they reckon they've got every thing we want. The boat pickles are wonderful. As I'm a new chum, was it built from scratch or overhauled? congratulations anyway. Triffles, so glad you're back, they''re all pickin' on me. Himself always looks good. It's disgusting. Yes we love our Amanda very much. She's a delight. Himself is plaintively asking when I'm coming to watch the cricket with him so I'd better 'obey' the master. Where are you ducks. Love to you. Hugz to all the aged and unwell.I only worry about the body. It's too late for the minds around here. Catch you later

Happy Australia Day to all the Wattlers and any Lurkers who should be joining us we don't bite you are all very welcome been thinking of you all and I am all better now thanks for all the best wishes . I am still being Nurse etc to Tiger who is lucky to be alive nothing to do with his knee it's the man patient thing( sorry Tony ) he says you're being mean I'm sick I say 'you are NOT sick you are recovering from an op there is a big difference dear' so stop yelling out and give me a minute to breathe please He then says 'My nurses in the Hospital didn't say that to me'And when I take his tablets to him or the paper or the ice or his exercise stuff he asks 'Do you DO **** ***s and I said NO most certainly not did you say that to the nurses and he says the cheeky rude Butter 'No I didn't have to ask ' Boom Boom to which my reply was'Exactly you said NURSES plural not NURSE singular who is still a bit wonky and if you don't want to be the victim of a homicide by being hit on the head with your crutches shut up whinging ' AAAAARGH I am ready to jump a bus up to Brissie , as Cassie bought her wedding dress the other day and sent me the Itinery for the whole box and dice in Fiji in August so excited both of us Tiger reckons we better get good holiday insurance ,in case of another political upset over there but its on Malalo Island well away from any unrest and as I said you gunna die you gunna die no matter where you are LOL Hz sweetie I am feeling a lot better know just have to concentrate on looking better lol and getting Tiger on the blastest mend before I go bonkers Diy Jude sorry re your headache and not being able to get to Bendigo either and the nonmusical chairs was happening even with out us there I wondered if Joodles and Wilson waved to anyone and asked them if they were looking for us hehe Merle you funny girl and so clever sending second photo up the right way this time its a butter not having Picasa on this old desk top as it wouldnt have mattered if I had had Picasa it turns them around no problems was successful thank you too. Himself look so young even with him being so ill God Bless him. Do you get on well with Kevin's wife she looks nice. What I really want to know Merle what gave you the idea to go to the Supermarket looking for your ancesters, and you found some too wow, just joshing Merle sorry darlin I know you meant IGI as I make the same BOOBOO all the time just had to have a giggle when I read you saying it too lovie Tony , do you cut little slits in your lamb roast and put garlic and rosemary in them its lovely flavour goes right through the roast ohhh (stop talking about food Lara ) Laurie are you finished painting the office yet darlin sweetie lovie seeing as you are now so experienced I would like the family room ceiling painted please and then the lounge room and then the new plaster wall that I can't get done in the family room as tradies in this town too busy and don't want to do fiddly little jobs butter Shazzles Tony Fergusen does sound good but this is a Drs supervised program with everything in the shakes bars and creme dessert things and soup that one body need for the day and its the only one DRs reccomend ( probably get a kick back ) but its good going to see her every four weeks and getting throughly checked over.Shazz I don't eat anything at all for the intial 12 weeks for the dangerously obese peeps all day excepth three of the shakes or the soup or the dessert stuff or the bars or them interchanges and two cups of allowed veges like brussell sprouts, cauli, cabbage zucchini mushrooms ,and salad veges like lettuce, toms,cucumber, celery, snow peas, radishes , peppers, with 2 teaspoons of vege oil on them , so can do a stir fry or as a salad. and have bought some of the soup and thought I could steam appropriate veges and throw them into the soup as its just chicken soup and the zucchini and cabbage and broccoli I thought I might make it with tomatoes and onion garlic added too and some mung beans which are allowed to make it sort of chicken Ministroni type for a change, have to do that when you have to stay on it for 12 weeks or I will go nuts BUT it will be worth it I am sure, I have got to stay staying positive. What I was saying about detox is that Cassie said I was sick at the beginning because it was though I was on a Detox Program and was experiencing withdrawals from coffee etc, or I had a virus. What you doing Flaky taking over the cats fetish with the numbers I thought you were crook and it wasn't you its was DIY Jude or were you both sickies sorry I am having trouble catching up to what has been happening Will get off here now and see you all later on love Lara

Good Morning and Happy Australia Day to all Wattlers. Have a great one what ever you will be doing. Us we are painting the dining room, our children are all away and we wanted to get it done so nows as good a day as any. Great poems tassie. Hope the travelers are having fun. Now HZ, is that Korumburra in Gippsland? your Dad lives. If so would he know a couple of dairy farmers called Des and Esmay not sure now of surname. They came out from UK back in 1960 or there abouts. Well back to being the labourer lol (((((((((((((( to all not well ~~~~~~~~~~~ to the wattlers PS liked the picture of the snow Tony, had one from a contact in UK this morning with thick snow. Cheers luv Sandra in the Gong

Happy Australia Day to us all and all who wanna be ! Nice day here, lol Vonny re tent, wait till you get to the sleeping bags! I got new ones last year and DD’s kayaking teacher complained to me that even HE couldn’t get hers back in it’s bag – Aussie Disposals here sell just bags alone, into which towel and pillow can go too, perfect for the sleepover. Clever poem Laurie ! Sound like everyone has got something on today, we have heaps happening this weekend it’s good to get the families out in the parks together. This morning five gorgeous vintage motorcycles were parked out front, the owners went to a nearby coffee shop, they are going to be on display this weekend. Have had a bit of family negotiation to do this week, as one brother wants to relieve Dad of a bit more of the farm – I don’t think there’ll be a problem but with four kids to inform the phone was running hot, then my sister in law said ’your father reminded me that in fourteen months time he’ll turn 90’ - he seemed to think a party was a great idea! So we’d better book the golf club in Korumburra and tell the friends and rellies. I think we’ll need a weekend though not just an afternoon, all the people he knows!! And my other brother flies out to Mongolia tomorrow, with his job. Lots of gold and copper under the tundra apparently, have to assess to see if a mine is feasible (not much rainfall). He’ll only be gone ten days. I said we wanted a postcard but he doesn’t think there will be any to send. Well take it easy everybody and have a bonza weekend ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hz

G'day g'day, how ya goin', what d'ya know, well strike a light G'day g'day, and how ya go-o-o-in' Just say g'day g'day g'day and you'll be right Isn't great to be an Aussie Takin' a walk along the street Lookin' in shops or buyin' a paper Stoppin' and havin' a yarn with people that you meet Down at the pub or at a party Whenever you're stuck for what to say If you wanna be dinky-di, why don't you give it a try Look 'em right in the eye and say goo'day G'day g'day, how ya goin', what d'ya know, well strike a light G'day g'day, and how ya go-o-o-in' Just say g'day g'day g'day and you'll be right Now when Italians meet they all go crazy The blokes all like to hug each other too The Yanks invented 'hi' 'and see you later' While the Pommy will shake your hand and say 'how do you do' Now watch out for a Frenchmen or he'll kiss you The Spaniards go for 'Olah' and 'Olay' But in the land of the cockatoo, pole cats and the didgeridoo When you meet an Aussie ten-to-one here's what he'll say G'day g'day, how ya goin', what d'ya know, well strike a light G'day g'day, and how ya go-o-o-in' Just say g'day g'day g'day and you'll be right It's a greeting that you'll hear across Australia From Geraldton to Goulburn, Gundagai It's as dinkum as the Dingo and the Dahlia And you spell it with a G, apostrophe, a D-A-Y G'day g'day, how ya goin', what d'ya know, well strike a light G'day g'day, and how ya go-o-o-in' Just say g'day g'day g'day and you'll be right Have a great Day Sue

Thanks heaps - have sent a reply have progressed to 'sending data to flash viewer' It's been sending for 15 mins!!! Think I'll try going back to bed!!

Vonny, I had trouble earlier on GR getting pages to come up . . . got lots of those error messages - may be just a glitch tonight - maybe they are working on the site . . . Keep trying luv Laurie

Emailing you now Vonny L xo

The times are all out of wack again for entries to threads too. Say L'oz, could I ask you for a lookup next Tuesday if you have time?

Hi L'oz I'm trying to access another tree - with permission - I can get to see the first three people but then nothing. if I try to see ancestors etc an error message comes up or else it just goes into a download loop and never arrives!! I might add - it's a big tree - over 8000 peeps!!

Yeah Vonny . . . me . . . The chainsaw in the bedroom is working well . . . and I think it has a full tank of fuel - doesn't look like stopping any time soon Woe is me . . . teeheee luv Laurie

ok, I'm up again :( anyone else not able to sleep?? Vonny

Evening...:>)) Hi Trifley.Hope you had a great time away mate. Well the tennis was a bit of a fizzle, i reckon. Federra creamed Roddick.3 games to nothin. Barb will be a bit dissapointed, ( with the easy win ) although she would have been barricking for Federra, i think the game was all over before it started. Australia day to-morrow, and the B.B.Q will be cleaned spick n' span. My girls and hubbies and grandkids all coming down as they do each Ozzie day. Council just up the road put on a big festival, with rides, food ( Multi cultral ) and local info on what's what. Then at night the fireworks for the kids and big kids..:>)) ( if no fire ban ) My grandkids will come and inspect there tomato plants that they planted as seedlings back in Oct. Each time they have visited they water them and give them manure. Plus a little help from poppy...lol They are fruiting now ( perfect timing ) and will pick the toms off and eat them. Fruits of their labour. I do this each year with them, as it shows them that if they look after something they will benefit from it. Just my way of teaching them about caring for things. Have a great day to-morrow, whatever you are doing. Tony Oz...:>)))
