Have you ever wondered why pigs are pink?

I am just popping in to say hello.
I hope that your OH is better soon Carole, for your sake if not for his lol

I have told Eve all about her cyber Aunties and Uncles, my daughter thinks that I am mad.

Eve is cute, she is a little tubby thing, all natural as she is breastfed Not surprisingly she is very different, wide awake and starting to touch her little toys.

I hope you have all had or will have a good day.

Hello Linda,
Glad to see you arrived safely - I expect little Eve has changed a lot, hope you're giving her lots of Grandma cuddles and cwtches.
Enjoy your weekend.
Tec.

I've probably missed you Linda but when you look in again make sure you give that lovely little girl a big cuddle from Aunty Sue:-))

Hi Tec - I imagine you've gone off for awhile so I'll see you when you come back and you can tell me why pigs are pink. I've never really thought about it before but now I'm intrigued:-))

Maybe Tec is telling a joke.

Someone here or was it OZ had a little black and white pig... probably made the pandas cross to think that a pig could be so clever.
There isn't a place for Pandas to cross the road.... I see these signs which say Koalas cross here but never one for Pandas.... that is very sad.

Hello Persey - did you stay up all night to do your lines?

Just because you didn't see a panda crossing doesn't mean we don't have them:-))

I didn't see any cross Koalas either they were all too dozey.

You remember when the kids were little and you would grab their big toe and say "this little pig went to Market'' and then this little pig stayed home etc. My youngest was going on two and here she was with her toes, she could only remember the first line and then she said and this little big did the shopping and this little pig played tennis, and um ah now what did this little pig do......
So I knew from the start that I had a right one here.

Little Jemima went home from school and told her mum that the boys kept asking her to do cartwheels because she's very good at them.
Mum said, "You should say "No" -they only want to look at your knickers."
Jemima said, "I know they do.
That's why I hide them in my bag"!

Yep - you can pick'em at an early age☺

Did I hear right that NZ's gst is going up to 15% and personal income tax is going down? What if you don't pay income tax - where is the balance?

Good Morning Sue, and Persey.

I don't know why pigs are pink - I was just wondering about it - like you do.

I wonder about a lot of things, and worry in case I die and never know.

Tec.

We don't have balance

Everyone was at the petrol pumps yesterday evening the petrol was not only going up by the gst price but there was some other price hike as well. We had a 15c a litre off coupon from the supermarket (mostly they are 4c off coupons) so we took both cars along and did the one fill and with that credit and the fact that it has gone up today we made quite a saving. Also was quite funny having to move one car forward after it was filled and then get in the other car and move it into the space whilst he was holding the pump hose. It would never have occurred to us to do that but awhile back we had done a big shop and got a 25 cent off coupon and the garage chap said you should've brought the wife's car along as well - we thought that was cheating....with us being honest upstanding citizens and all that.

can't see you Persey.

There is a pig farm not far away - I may phone them and ask why pigs are pink - surely they will know - but I hope I don't provoke a rude response lol.

Hi all who are here
I haven't read any of the post as I haven't long come in so I have know idea who is here or what has been said other than something to do with pig's.

Sue I have sent you a pm.

Good Evening Diane,
How are you today?

Sue - If I give you the number, will you phone them? :))

Persey is talking about Panda's in Australia - apparently they are there, but nobody's seen them?

No-one gone to bed yet????? I must be improving. Good evening/morning to all.
I didn't have so many posts to read as I looked in last night. I'll have to do that more often.
Hope everyone is well - also your OH's. Fine and mild here although overcast.

SueMaid Report 30 Sep 2010 23:21

Don't be silly Tec - of course there aren't any pandas in Australia but there may be panda crossings☺☺

I don't think I'll phone the pig farm Tec - I wouldn't be able to understand the Welsh language. They might swear at me and I'd never know.
