General Chat

Evening Wattlers. Had a poppy nap ( after me tablets )...:>))) and now a nice Pizza with lots of salami and spices to get the liver and heart burn up and running and in working order. Dont add much to the gen. board these days. Back in 2004 -5 i used to add thread topics every second or third day. Joke threads, Poem threads, Ozzie threads, Pub threads, Football threads and joined in many of other peoples threads, but cant be bothered now days. I found it to time consuming and was neglecting my Family History research, as it is why i joined GC/GR in the first place. The argumentive threads ( and you can tell by the Topic and the thread poster in most cases ) i dont even bother reading. The best way i have found over the years is to totally ignore these nasty threads, and dont respond to them. This way the poster has no idea if you have read his/her thread and cant come back at you with an answer. This to me, is the only way to deal with them. The whole idea of a nasty thread is to get a response. This sucks the person its aimed at right in, and scores points for the thread poster, because he/she knows you have read it. Although, Jeff from Lancs has put up a Poets Pot 2 which i enjoy adding to. I think Anna would enjoy it, as i know she can write a poem or two. Tassie. Now lets see.....was it Purple pills or Pink pills for you? ....or was it orange pills..???. Lew forgot to post me a list on who gets what pills, ( the Duffer ) and if i give the wrong ones out there will be hell to pay. I might have to make a quick phone call to the 'Orion' I'm sure if i ask for HRH Dr.Lew and a Wattie bear, ( who may be slumped over a martooni glass ) they will know who i mean. Jood. I love Google Earth, and use it a lot to find locations around the world for my family history research. Which reminds me......my house roof need respraying...lol Tony Oz...:>)))

Hi everyone I could't find the right numbers - could you? Butter. Needed it to pay a deposit on my car repairs!! :>( Anna

BB is for Big Brother GR has now got a BB house - 'The Welcome To The Grbb Housemates Thread' is one of the threads :-) If you have a look you will see things like BB diary room and others :-)))

Hi Tasse, what's a BB thread? lol Jillx

Evening All Well as you can guess puta is free again :-) Sylvia lovely to see you pop in, maybe to can visit more often while Norman is in Hospital, enjoy your break and do some things for yourself while you can. Jillaroo yes I did see the new person you was talking about, on gen board, I noticed that they have started a BB thread going went and had a peek in but I dont think I will follow it to any great extent. Tony need some pills maybe tomorrow night onwards 5 kids and unless we take 2 cars out we will be stuck at home for a week, not that they are that bad. Cheers Sue

Sylvia Lovely to see ya come over and visit.. Glad Norman is feeling better..and you seem to be also. Good for you and make sure you rest and enjoy the break.. Glad you are going up to see Kate soon. A lovely day out for you..John has to go into hospital on the 1/.2. for an operation on the 2/2. Lets hope it helps him.. Tony How many of those VB pills have you had since Dr. Lew left..??????? Jood Great pickle of you place..I like google earth.... Jill I dont bother putting anything on the General Board any more.. Might read a few but thats all unless its someone I know.. Still trying to search for that Page family for the chap in Canada.. I have now put it on the Records Board hopeing for some help..Anyone want to take a stab at it..??? Off to do the dishes so back later Love Mary xxxxxxx

there are some lovely people out there, I think they hang out with the games hey anna. lol. sometimes theres stuff that makes you take a big breath. I've added threads too, just to watch them disappear. wattlers is nice and homely love yvette

Do any of you read some of the threads on the gens board? if you do have you noticed how much nicer it's been this last couple of days? Someone by the name of Paul the Other One seems to have helped it a bit, I was so impressed that I put up a thread of my own commenting about it, very daring of me to say the least. Sadly nobody felt the same as me 'cause I didn't get one reply,lol (I'm off the front page now) Just an observation. luv Jillx

Hi Jill Jill I rarely read the posts on Gen Board - they are always sniping at each other. I generally just do the word games - and Wattlers of course. Aren't they all still asleep over there - maybe you'll get responses when they wake up. You were very brave weren't you! X Anna

lol Jill - who know's - might be our Lew who is seasick too. .. At least she is up and away on the Good Ship Orion by now. .. Anna - I bet the show was good and you must have felt very proud. Jood

Hi all Threatening to rain here but I looked at the radar and it appears to be going to the East of us - butter! We had hail yesterday afternoon - no damage though and we had 16 mls of rain so that was very welcome. Have been to family history meeting this morning - now that we have moved our building to the cemetery, we have to be able to direct people who are looking for graves to the right place, so we had a grave finding lesson this morning - I am still no wiser. The surveying over the years leaves a lot to be desired and then they tried to map it all on computer and the computer doesn't allow for odd little bends and twists in the cemetery rows where they've tried to dodge trees etc etc over the years! This afternoon was Katherine's grand finale concert - they played the 1812 overture. It was magnificent. They've done such a great job in just 10 days with those young people. 120 youngsters in the orchestra - + tutors. We are all pooped now - I think I'm getting a cold and am going down hill fast. I'll have to stay awake until after the lotto draw tonight! Welcome home Vonny - I have tried to keep the word threads up to date with help from other Wattlers. Laurie - where are you - how is TLR's foot? Ducky - get yourself on here and talk to us. Trifley - hope the dreaded exhaustion will leave you soon. Good luck to us all for tonight. Anna

Hi Joods, I had poor Wattie being ickypoo in the martoonie glass after Tony said that he might be feeling seasick, hope it wasn't Lew's full one,pmsl. Jillx

Don't feel sorry for Wattie Jilly - he copes with Martoonies very well thank-you, what with having Trifley, Lew and others leading him astray!. I just knew you would allocate yourself your daily bread I mean your daily VB tablet Tony. I'm off to Bendi on Tuesday 16th - 3 days away. Will stay at cousins at West Wyalong (Lauries sister Marie) - and then arrive at daughters place around lunchtime hopefully. .. And don't forget Wilson - if you are looking in - 12.30 at the Broadwalk Cafe on Monday 22 January. .. I wish some more peeps were coming :((( I look a sight here with my baseball cap on (not the Virgin one today - the Canning Stock Route one) - you see, the aircon and the fan above me play havoc with my eyes, the cold wind, so I put my cap on and Bob's ya uncle and actually he's mine too! Updating me laptops with virus protectors and fambly His Tree to take away, and me phone numbers etc etc. .. Sure as eggs I'll forget something! Weather a bit more pleasant now, turned the aircon off, but still need the fan to circulate the air a bit... I sent you all an email of my townhouse which I google earthed for. They have updated the site, and now I can zoom straight down the blue mountains, which I couldnt before. .. After I sent your pic, I wrote all over the map where various places were - if you're interested, email me. .. Sorry girls - I marked where the firies station was, but there are no firies in the street *smile - or rather smirk* Welcome home Vonny - will you sue for 'industrial deafness' ??? lol Jood

Ah, poor Wattie, can you imagine him with his little head bent over a martoonie glass Jill lol

Hiya Jillaroo. Champagne pills coming up. Sure Dr. Lew wont mind just this once. I mean......its to celebrate kinda sorta her trip. Probably sitting up drinking Martoonies as i type, and Wattie is probably sea sick already....lol Vonny. Glad you had a great time. But 50 kids!!!....I'm glad it was you......hee hee Tony Oz...:>))

Hi Tony nice to see you back, can I have some champers flavoured pills please, the ones that tingle on the tongue, don't let Lew know as we can only have them on special occasions lol. Jood when are you off to Bendigo? sorry you've probably said but I have forgotten. Best wishes to all the sickies, FLUFFY, where are you? we worry when you don't look in. luv Jillx

hellooooo, I'm hooooooome :) Just in time to wave goodbye to Lew I see. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bye~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Won't be around much as raced home for a one o'clock wedding and have to go back for the 6pm reception. So won't find out about Lotto till tomorrow probably!!! Had a great week - I really enjoyed it in the kitchen working as a team with 2 others. they were the cooks, I just did what I was told :) I did not enjoy the noise that 50 young people can make or the loud music or the late nights!! But I survived and it was beautiful weather. Apparently it has been sweltering in Canberra!!! I'll catch up tomorrow with everyone's news. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vonny

Hi! Everyone, I think I had better visit you a bit more often . Mary, how is John? Norman is in hospital for the doctors to try and sort him out and he is doing well and seems much better and happier already.I am also enjoying the break although I visit him every day and have a meal in the hospital cafe while I am there so I don't have to cook every day. I am going to visit Katie and the family on Tuesday so will try to send you some photos. I must run now, see you later, Love Sylvia XX

Arvo peeps...:>)) from darn tarn melbin. Back home in the comfort of me house early this morning. Have just breezed through the thread to see who is about, and who's away, and who's going away....lol As i am now in charge of the pills while Dr. HRH Lew is tripping around the arktick on the Queen mary, the first Pill for me is the VB amber ones... ( with froff )....:>))) There is a web page on the trip to the artick. http://www.orioncruises(.)com.au/ Go to Expeditions, then Antartica,then Intineraires. Lara.
