Sorry, Rebs, I know you're the joke gal, but I had to share this one! Three men were hiking through a forest when they came upon a large, raging, violent river. Needing to get on the other side, the first man prayed, 'God, please give me the strength to cross the river.' Poof! God gave him big arms and strong legs and he was able to swim across in about 2 hours, having almost drowned twice. After witnessing that, the second man prayed, 'God, please give me strength and the tools to cross the river.' Poof! God gave him a rowboat and strong arms and strong legs and he was able to row across in about an hour after almost capsizing once. Seeing what happened to the first two men, the third man prayed, 'God, please give me the strength, the tools and the intelligence to cross this river.' Poof! He was turned into a woman. She checked the map, hiked one hundred yards up stream, and walked across the bridge. Lew Lew :-) (Sorry Tony!)

PMSL :-))))))) Heard that one before but it always makes me laugh :-)

Here are the two photo page addies for those who want them. http://groups(.)msn(.)com/GCPhotos-thenextgeneration/ And http://groups(.)msn(.)com/GCPhotospage/shoebox.msnw tested them both and they are working. but don't forget to remove the brackets.

Jude I have had to click on GR once sometimes twice to get in today - they must be having a few hiccups. Jood

Boy, this site is being a bit narky tonight! Tony, my talk of Essex was only in relation to a friend who'd just had a baby and Dad is from Essex. Geez, wouldn't want to be mistaken for an Essex Girl, lol. Hey, when's the Brissie Meet? Hubby just asked me if I wanted to go! He'd like to meet all the people who I spend time chatting with! I think that means, count me in! Lew Lew x

Ohhhhh Tony - your daughter wasn't serious was she????? The reason I asked about the Richardsons is that someone put some pictures in of a graveside out in the bush somewhere. Still ............. you never know! Tony - my sister married a Bullard, and I know they came from overseas ............... can you give me some info then and I'll check with her. .............. we might be related............. indirectly ! pmsl Lew lew - 10th June is the date. Jood

Tony Re daughter.. A little bit of post baby blues ,,,, or ..watch out for a possible post natal depression.. both can be treated by a doctor.. Tiredness is a big thing with a new baby due to sleep deprevation. so see if she can get a little help so that she can have a rest during the day.. A big hug from dad will help to.. Love Maryxxx

Oooh LewLew, thats wonderful!!! 10th June, Southbank. still investigating exact venue within precinct......whoever will have us I guess. lol Oh crap, so busy catching up with stuff, I just slightly burnt dinner. pmsl!!! Rudes, I agree with Mary. Could be sleep deprivation. That's enough to make you kill. Or hormones. Has she recently stopped breast feeding, cause that can mean the resumption of -how can I put this at dinner time.......erm, monthly issues. Which will mean massive hormone surges till her system works itself out. On a more serious note, undiagnosed post-natal depression. okay, just read your last post, so skip the breast feeding and post natal theories. How old is she Rudes? If your looking for female reasons, which is normally hormonal, early menapause possibly. Seems to be a more common occurance these days. If possible, you need to get her talking. Sorry, can't comment in regards to personal issues. Give her a day or two and see what frame of mind she is in then. This burnt mac cheese is erm.......yummy???

Hi Mary, this is eldest daughter ( not Pregnant ) This one has 5 year old....and me is fearing the worst. Joodle mate. I will Email you details of my Bullard line. Tony Oz
