I wish I had a cat to talk about. We've always had cats, but I'm not allowed to have pets where I am. .. I couldn't even begin to tell you how many we've had over the years .- a beauuuutiful ginger fluffy one, tabby ones (several) black ones, grey ones - one daughter still has a siamese, the other has another ginger fluffy and a blue grey fluffy. .. Only two cats have not taken to me. .. One, a tiny black fluffy thing, would scratch me, but my son could do anything he wanted with her. By the way, you don't own cats, they own you. Jood

So right, Joodles. The cat comes in, takes over the home and allows you to stay because it needs staff....lol TX

Oh yes, Trifley, you are dead right. .. Sometimes they take it upon themselves to go to another place for food as well, so that two unsuspecting people think they own the one cat ! .. Happened to us, years ago! .. (Like a male with two wives, spend a few nights at one place and then go home to the other one!) hahaha Jood

WHOOOHOOO !!!!!!!!! Brisbane LOST !!!, Collingwood LOST !!! BUT...................... CARLTON WON !!!!!!!!!!!!!! l'm a happy girl !!! WHOOOHOOO !!!!!!!!

Blimey Rebs In a word - get over it! :>) Anna Watcha up to?????

Hi Rebs......Brisbane lost what? Was it something important? If you put it on the 'Trying to find' board someone might be able to help.......lol TX

*We are the Navy Blues, we are the old dark Navy Blues* Congrats Rebs! Well done. Afternoon All. Very lazy this arvo. I'm about to have a coffee and have just about finished my book. Back soon Lew Lew xxx

Uuummm coffee, that sounds good. I think I'll go get some too. TX

Move over all you footy fanatics, this is a message from Mary ... She is suffering withdrawal symptoms, had to pack up her beloved PC today, ready for transportation tomorrow. .. I told her to get it set up straight away at the new place, so she could still have some relaxation - playing patience :( Anyways, she told me to ask you to hold all the funnies for a while, otherwise her mail bag will be full in no time. Jood

lol Anna, all fair in love and football !!! Thought I'd take a coffee break at the puter before l get my nose back to the grindstone. Been a bit busy, sewing a new dress for the girl (grew out of her last one) making some Xmas cards, 2 special orders that l have to get off to the UK in time for them to use them. How is everyone? Way too much waffling to catch up on recent news.

don't watch the footy. thought it was about time I finished of these speaker box covers for oh's friend/band buddy. They're vinyl, lined with packing felt. Its so hard to pin all the c**p together and I 've poked myself a lot.I hate the cows and I'm never making them again ever! I said that last time but i was being nice. I have sworn so badly, between them and the coffee, I'm sure I've got high blood pressure. everybody else is in front of their teles though, trying to ignore me. He would want to get me chocolates for doing this. Have made a cake during my ergonomic breaks. Poor Mary , she'll be too busy to play on the 'puter anyway. Just think how nice it will be later, a real special treat. love Yvette

Early Evening well 5pm, What a lot of waffling, Have spent all afternoon on Ancestry trying to knock a few walls down and I now have a sore head from banging the bricks. So have given up for now. Hope you had a nice birthday Tassie. I'm going to be so boring again, Jood found the webmail on bigpond but what is happening is some are going there and a lot are still going into O.E and incredimail even tho we don't open them (don't know what the answer is: So please no picture emails and none of the media ones at least for the time being. Will be glad when Jan comes and we can give Bigpond the boot. Our monthly bill is way over what it should be, when we got on to them again they said we must have hackers getting in lol ???? Well it's time to get some dinner ready so will see you later all Cheers Sandra in the Gong

Sandra, I do feel for you with Bigpond. .. Gave them the flick years ago. .. Bigpond actually charge you to use their spam filter, so that's why a lot slips through. .. With my server, Internode, you can select from 1-10 depending on their reckoning of the severity of the spam, 1 being the lowest. .. I only get a couple if that in OE. .. I go into another section where the spams are kept, and just delete the lot. .. I don't think we are ever going to get rid of spam entirely. I've taken you off my Wattler mail list for the time being. Love Jood

R.B. xx

GWENDA, your mailbox is full again, lol. You need a clean out. Lew Lew xxx

Telstra are not good (replaced choice word with others), thats all I can say. one of the most memorable days in my technology life is when I got rid of telstra out of my 'puter. Adrian got rid of them too, but is still being mucked about with their slack administration. Raggy Bear, watch out for all the waving hands when you hit Australia. Forget the h*******k, its not going anywhere - you are. Gwendas mail box is reminding me of Lauries most embarrassing moment -- ooo, clench cheeks love Yvette

Computer probs :( keeps freezing. Will try and sort it out but may not be back on tonight.. Gwenda, will pm you my phone number. :) ~~~~~~~~~Vonny

Vonny - did you reboot? Probably too late now, she's gone :( My motto is - 'when all else fails - reboot!!' Jood

Evening all, Should be getting tea but just caught up again - Lew and everyone - can you use my other email addy as it seems to have a bigger capacity Sandra - didn't Bigpond do anything when you complained - my son wasn't impressed when I told him - he now works for them and said they can check when things are being downloaded and if you can prove you couldn't have possibly done that much at that time they would pass it onto billing. He's not sure if billing can tell what sites are being downloaded but if they could you'd know if there were rogue sites showing. Don't know if that is helping you at all but something needs to be done with Bigpond. Vonny - got your message - hope you get your puta sorted too Off to clean out the Transact inbox - again Catch up later Gwenda

Evening Wattlers Well the days almost over. I have had a lovely day with David and the girls. Bit down as son hasnt rang to say happy birthday, but I suppose you got to get used to that when they move out of home. We went and had a look at a couple of shops today, and while we was in Target, I heard someone singing Happy Birthday and I thought there couldnt be 2 people in the same part of the shop whos birthday is today, I looked around and found my cousin and his wife hiding behind a shelf. He is actually my Dads first cousin and his mum died the day I was born, so he would never forget it. But I got mine back when I reminded him on where Essendon are on the ladder at the moment. pmsl. Then we came home and I had a lovely Turkey roast for tea, yummy. Now I will just have to get walkng tomorrow to burn off all the fat I have put on over the weekend ,oh well such is life. Cheers Sue
