Good afternoon Wattlers . . . Today started out looking good - sunshine and boats running around the Bay, now it is raining again, and grey and miserable. . . Though I just noticed a break in the cloud and the sun is shinning on the one and only giraffe that isn't working. Guess Lew & Vonny will both be looking for Nanna naps this afternoon, dont you hate it when you cant get to sleep - you just know the next day will be a slow one. Joodles, lets just make sure you have the right info so you dont go off with some strange people next Saturday (can't have you living your dream). The Sydney Casino is STAR CITY !!!!! You wont have any problem when you get off the light rail at the Casino - it is well signposted, if all else fails - follow the crowd . . . PMSL That could be Joodles strangers !!! Just head straight for the dinning room and we could meet there, first one in gets to reserve heaps of tables . . . just strip off and put your clothes around the room on enough chairs for all of us !!! I have wireless on my lappy, so will bring mine to the meet to check out the behaviour of the naughty ones. Anna, give my congrats to Katherine, you have every right to be proud! SATURDAY SMILE . . THE MECHANIC A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley motorcycle when he spotted a well-known heart surgeon in his shop. The surgeon was there waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his bike when the mechanic shouted across the garage, 'Hey, Doc, can I ask you a question?' The surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was; the mechanic straightened up, wiped his big hands on a rag, and asked, 'So, Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take valves out, fix 'em, put 'em back in, and when I finish, it works just like new. So how come I get such a small salary and you get the really big bucks, when you and I are doing basically the same work?' The surgeon paused, smiled, leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic, 'Try doing it with the engine running.' Maybe that could be a new song . . . 'Lew Lew, doing Lap Dance, by the Lap Pool with her Lap Top . . Cheers all . . . luv Laurie

Uh??? Did you say Lew, Pole dancing on someones lap - better put my glasses on teee heee - sorry Lew, just kidding. Got visitors for coffee, back later. Jood

Yaayy...I got my census form! I've read all the 'srtuctions so I'm ready to go on Tuesday night. Q 18 is a tricky one for genealogists. So many of us could tick every box...pmsl. Hi Laurie....Sydney sounds a bit miserable today. You keep well rugged up too. You don't want to miss next weekend. Crew...now that you have wireless you can take the lap top everywhere. Your criteria for how good a place is will now depend on if they have internet.....pmsl Vonny...any more news about the fire down your street? Was the hall an old one? Hi Duffy Fluck....pmsl...sorry. Joodles called you that last night and it just cracked me up. See...I have a strange sense of humour. You must have worked very hard to get all your forms out by now. The woman in our area is still trudging around. The sky is overcast, the wind is blowing....if she doesn't finish soon she is going to get a wet bum. Enjoy your chardy and a well earned rest. It's getting cool so I better go get a blanket. 'Byeee love Trifley X

Hi all, have been out started with 3 kids & full purse, ended up 1 kid & some shrapnel (sp?), a pile of veges, dog tablets , hair brush, shouted lunch, went to the motor registry and hit the music shop (can you hear the noise?) I haven't got my census form yet, how do you get one if you have been neglected? Pam - you might have to ride the bike down here for a special delivery I'm going to have a little lay down, read a bit and maybe watch a movie or the back of my eyelids for a while. Hope you got the maps Jood? It sounds you are recovering nicely Trifely, be good to yourself I tried to send the badges again too. they haven't come back, maybe your filters block out the images or some of the rude words. Is there a number scramble on later? love yvette xx

~~~~~waves to Yvette Kids.....the quickest way known to make money disappear...lol TX

Afternoon Wattlers Katherine thanks you all for your congratulations. It's been a busy few weeks what with rehearsals, practices with accompanist, attending the eisteddfod etc. We can all veg out for a while! My 6 year old 'grandson' who has ADHD has just started taking fish oil capsules - his doctor says that there is recent research to show that fish oil rich in omega3 can help behaviour problems. Jill - maybe you should start chucking some down your granson's throat!! It is also supposed to help asthma, excema, senility, heart problems - must be miraculous! I think I'd better start taking them too! Do any of you remember taking fish oil or Hypol when you were kids? My mother always made me take it to stop getting colds in Winter - it tasted disgusting!! Chris said his mother made him take it too. We presume the Child Health nurses used to recommend it as both our mothers religiously took us to the Baby Health Clinic! Glad the puddy tats are feeling better. Our 2 remaining guinea pigs - who have to stay in their inside cage in the garage if the weather is not pleasant are as fat as fools as they don't get so much exercise in Winter! Duffy Fluck - you must be pleased the distribution of the Census forms is complete. Now you have to gather them all up again! Are many people going to answer them over the net? We are. Is tonight going to be our lucky night? Fingers crossed everyone! Waves to everyone Love Anna

Hi Wattlers Gee a girl takes a break from here and comes back to 7 pages. Now I am having trouble what everyone has said so that I can reply. Sophie seems a little beter today. Looks like its going to be a slow recovery. I now need to get her interested in food. What does 3C like to eat. Any suggestions. She is even turning her nose up at prawns. We have spent all morning looking at putas for Neville and I am now more confused than when we started. Does anyone know anything about sound cards. We have been quoted anything from $300 to $500 for the one he needs. Then he wants one of the slim plasma wide screen moniter. Another $500 I may have to go back to work to pay for it. Jood The list I am using now is the correct one. I thought that I had sent it out to everyone. Will send you a copy. I am wondering what happened 9 months ago to keep everyone indoors. So many new babies. Perhaps we could spread the message to the couple in Germany. Congratulations to all the new grans, aunts, mums and dads. Hi Pam, how many days respite do you have before collecting the forms? I am guessing you will have made a few new friends along the way. I am getting very jealous. All this talk of the Sydney meet. It's a pity that Lew won't be there to pass on the straight jacket award. Or are we keeping that for Queensland? I am sure that the cinderellas amongst us will find some thing exciting to do. Well, I should move along and catch up with my emails. See yall tomora Luv SuzyQ

~~~~~~~~waves to Anna and SuzyQ. I take fish oil capsules for arthritis, don't know if it helps as I'm not game to stop. I've tried to convince Graeme and Mark to take it but unless I stand in front of them with the capsules and a drink they never think to take them. Men! SuzyQ...if your cat doesn't want the prawns you can send them down here. I love prawns! I'll ask Mark if he knows anything about sound cards when he gets home tonight. Hugs TX

Arvo Wattlers...:>))) Well, did the son bit today, sanded and painted the kitchen ceiling for me mum, and did a few chores around the house. Funny though........she didn't give me any pocket money...:>((((( Lew. You mentioned Bright.( spent my Honeymoon there ) So beautiful down the main street in the Autumn ....In the 70s we had a holiday house at Mt.Beauty, and used it regularly many times a year. We and the kids, would BBQ and picnic at Bogong Lake ,Porepunka, Mt.Buffalo, ect..... I loved fishing in the Kiewa Valley river many a time, and also did a bit of panning there.........Haven't been to Bright since my wife died in the 90s, but thinking about it brings back so many happy memories. Anna. I still take Hypol, and have done all my life since i was a kid. Almond-vanilla flavour.In the 50s every day before school it was Hypol time.....and remember listening to Uncle Norman Swain ( spelling ) on the wireless, with his Hypol jingle. We also kept it stocked in our shop, as my wife and i ran a health food shop in Mitcham ( Melb ). To my mind it still is the best stuff around to help build resistance to colds and respiratory infections. Living proof of this claim, and you will never hear me say i have a cold. Desert spoon a day keeps Jack frost away..... Also love pure Malt, and still twirl it round a spoon....lol Then i found out they add it to V.B tablets.....:>))))))))))) Good luck to everyone tonight with the Lotto, we surely deserve a win.....even a polly waffle each will do. Tony Oz....:>))))

Tony Bless ya litle cotton socks - no wonder you are so healthy! I didn't know you could still get Hypol - with flavour too! Me mum must have known something after all! :>) Anna

aaaand...you can get it Cherry flavoured now also, Anna.....:>)))) Many good health shops would carry it. Tony Oz...:>)))

Tony Does it still give you many happy returns of that fish oil taste - even though it is disguised with cherry or whatever? Maybe if I swallowed it with a bit if dark chocolate I could pretend it was a Cherry Ripe - love Cherry Ripes! :>) Anna

Well..... it does require a certain taste...lol.. but after about ( just calculating 365 x 10 x 50 years = ( roughly ) one hundred and eighty two thousand dessert spoons, you get used to it....:>))))) I like the Almond flavour. Tony Oz...:>)))) *at 57 still as fit as a malley bull*

Late Afternoon Waffling Wattlers, Tony, I too love Malt, when in primary school in England we had to line up daily for cod liver oil and a spoonful of malt. Must admit don't have it now perhaps i should. Triffley My daughter has cows, goats, chickens a pig, a dog, a bull. Joodles whats the plan for next Sat... do we meet at the casino or are you meeting some at the Central Station???? light railway is easy to get, just oudside station then to Star City, easy peasy. Whats this talk of a storm, dident get it in the northeren subs of the Gong but did get a big down pour over night.. Yvette perhaps you can email a pic of yourslf to me and likewise so I will know who to look for when I get on the train??? what do you think???? Am cooking a lamb roast tonight with rosemary out of the garden smells lovely. In case I don't get on here tomorrow Happy Birthday to You Happy Birthday To You Happy Birthday to Sue(Tassie ) Happy Birthday to You Have a nice day. Cheers Sandra in the Gong

Good grief Tony It's a wonder you haven't grown fins and a tail! Probably the VB tablets have a neutralising effect :>) Anna

Sandra.Yes...i love Malt ( pure extract ). When Barb and i were in Singapore, we were sitting at a small cafe having a cold drink in Chinatown market. About 20 high school kids walked past us holding two chop-sticks, and twirling what looked like honey, and spinning around the chop-sticks like knitting needle's. I asked the lady in the shop what it was......Malt. Tony Oz...:>)))
