It's an anxious time for the families Sue, but I'm sure everyone's doing everything that can be done. We feel sorry for everyone involved, but particularly so for the 17 yr old lad whose first day in the mine it was.

My Reply button just said "Login To Reply" so had to log in again - earlier I was taken to Family Tree, although I didn't want to go there?

Page number still falling - what happens when we get to zero, will we all disappear?

This is a crazy system, I have to make so many clicks just to get back to the thread after I have posted

I think GR have a very cavalier attitude toward their membership - not a word of explanation - a case of like it or lump it, but I can see people losing their patience and just no bothering with it.

Good evening/morning everyone.
Tuesday morning here (9am) and a beautiful day forecast - and looks like being real too!

Diane - I will be thinking of you all day. Although eleven hours ahead, I know you won't be seeing your doctor until after that - but I can't help thinking about you. Please let us know the outcome as soon as you can.

Sad about the miners in N.Z. To not know whether they are alive (and starving by now) or whether they died during the explosion - must be terrible for those trying to get to them and those waiting at the top.
At least, in Chile, the rescuers were able to communicate and send food while the drilling went on.

As there doesn't seem to be any change in this site since yesterday, I would like to know if GR have finished what they are doing? If not, fair enough, we can wait for them to finish and ignore the fact that our pages are still shrinking - but I think they should let us know.

I've just watched the live news conference from the NZ mine. It isn't looking good at all. They sent the robot in but it hit water and malfunctioned. Now they are waiting for a much advanced one from Western Australia. They have teams of people ready but because of the gases they can't go in. They have no way of knowing how the miners are or where exactly they are. But wherever they are isn't good. How sad.

G'Day Berona,

What's 3 minutes between friends? LOL.

Hope you are well today, and the cat.

Looks like you may get some decent weather at last - you wouldn't want to be here, it's freezing tonight.

Tec............10-23pm.

Time for an early night, I have been trying to catch up on all my emails.
I hope they sort this site out, but I fear this may be it

Carole when you look in I hope you will see this post hun, I'm fine and would like to say thank you for your concern and sorry to have worried you (please forgive me) :)

Sue I hope you enjoy your sunny day and don't get to burnt and while you do that feel a bit sorry for us over here who are chilling in the cold lol.

Welcome back Linda, I'm glad Eve's naming ceremony went well and that you spent some quality time with her ( even though she cried for her mum ), your daughter must think we are nut's on here lol.

Beron hun don't worry I will let you know as soon as I know what the problem is and what is to be done.

Hi Tec, I hope you and OH are not to cold and that it doesn't get as bad for you as it will be for people in Scotland, possible -9 they say bbrrrr.

Hello Diane,

I was just thinking about you, and hoping you've had no more chest pains. Yes it is freezing isn't it? There's a draught around my ankles enough to freeze my feet off, no idea where from.
Well tomorrow you see the consultant is it? I truly hope he can help you. Don't pull any punches, tell him exactly what it's like and that the pain is intolerable. Grab him by the throat if you have to - I'll come and bail you out LOL.

tEC.............10-51PM

I became distracted by the big TV ........lol

Good night Linda , I hope you and OH have pleasant dreams .

Good morning Berona , I hope your day turns out to be as nice as is promised : ))

Hello Diane ...... I hope you are feeling well today .
I think we on the East coast are going to get the brunt of the cold weather in a few days . I'll take your advice and stay in as much as I possibly can , I'm not overly keen on walking in on slippery surfaces ....lol

Goodnight to my friends in the up top and a good day to my fellow Aussies and our Kiwi.

'Night, Amanda. Sorry I didn't say hello properly. To Linda too - glad you're back, but you've probably gone again by now.
I thought I saw Sandie there, but when I tried to go back a page or two, I was snapped back to this page.

I had better go too. Expecting a grocery delivery any time from now, so I'll need to open the door for the delivery man. Why do people who deliver, always run? Are they overburdened with deliveries? or are they afraid of being caught by a 'bored housewife'?
If I fall into this category - I'm flattered!!!
