G'day Wattlers Well...I'm officially staple free!!! Now I can have a good shower. Darn surgeon...doesn't have any idea why my arm is sore....isn't that helpful? 'Uuumm, could be the way it was laying during the surgery'. He has suggested massage but I told him it was too bloody sore at this stage to touch, let alone massage. On the way home we stopped in to see our local acupuncturist. I now have an appointment for Thursday to get needled. It can't hurt and might just help. This Wednesday is the bone scan so that should provide us with more info.....we'll see what happens. I'm pooped now so I'm off for a nana nap. Toodle ooo my wonderful cyber-friends. love Trifley X

Hi Trifley - glad you are home and staple free (almost sounds like a staple free diet ermmm - is that right? pmsl) (somehow I think that's wrong!) I remember after one op I had, I felt a tightness on my stomach in a certain place, about 4' long - asked the surgeon what it could be, and he passed it off. I now think it was muscular inside my stomach, (if that is possible). .. Here's hoping that that acupuncture session will help. I'm off for a nana nap too. (it's catching) ... lol Jood

Afternoon Wafflers, had a late start this morning and it's put me behind all day! Went to town to do some grocery shopping and that's about all I've done, lol. Glad to hear you're going okay, Trifles, but I hope that arm gets better soon. It's not your martoonie are is it????? Off for a little read, so I'll check in later. Lew Lew xxx

Ray didn't find this one at all funny . . . A married couple is driving along a highway doing a steady 40 miles per hour The wife is behind the wheel. Her husband suddenly looks across at her and speaks in a clear voice. 'I know we've been married for twenty years, but I want a divorce.' The wife says nothing, Keeps looking at the road ahead but slowly increases her speed to 45 mph. The husband speaks again. 'I don't want you to try and talk me out of it,' He says, 'because I've been having an affair with your best friend, And she's a far better lover than you are.' Again the wife stays quiet, But grips the steering wheel more tightly and slowly increases the speed to 55 He pushes his luck. 'I want the house,' he says insistently.. Up to 60. 'I want the car, too,' he continues. 65 mph. 'And,' he says, 'I'll have the bank accounts, all the credit cards and the boat!' The car slowly starts veering towards a massive concrete bridge. This makes him nervous, so he asks her,'Isn't there anything you want?' The wife at last replies in a quiet and controlled voice. 'No, I've got everything I need,' she says. 'Oh, really,' he inquires, 'so what have you got?' Just before they slam into the wall at 65 mph, The wife turns to him and smiles. 'The airbag.' Moral of the Story : Women are clever!!! Don't mess with them!! L xo

Yet He laughed at this one . . . Strange fellow MORRIS AND HIS WIFE ESTHER WENT TO THE STATE FAIR EVERY YEAR. EVERY YEAR, MORRIS WOULD SAY, 'ESTHER, I 'D LIKE TO RIDE IN THAT HELICOPTER.' ESTHER ALWAYS REPLIED, ' I KNOW MORRIS, BUT THAT HELICOPTER RIDE IS 50 DOLLARS AND 50 DOLLARS IS 50 DOLLARS.' A FEW YEARS LATER, ESTHER AND MORRIS WENT TO THE FAIR. MORRIS SAID, 'ESTHER, I'M 85 YEARS OLD. IF I D ON'T RIDE THAT HELICOPTER NOW, I MIGHT NEVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE.' ESTHER REPLIED, 'MORRIS, THAT HELICOPTER IS 50 DOLLARS AND $50 DOLLARS IS 50 DOLLARS.' THE PILOT OVERHEARD THE COUPLE. HE SAID, 'FOLKS, I'LL MAKE YOU A DEAL. I'LL TAKE THE BOTH OF YOU FOR A RIDE. IF YOU CAN STAY QUIET FOR THE ENTIRE RIDE AND NOT SAY A WORD, I WON'T CHARGE YOU! BUT IF YOU SAY ONE WORD, IT'S 50 DOLLARS.' MORRIS AND ESTHER AGREED -- AND UP THEY WENT. THE PILOT DID ALL KINDS OF FANCY MANEUVERS. BUT NOT A WORD WAS HEARD. HE DID HIS DAREDEVIL TRICKS OVER AND OVER AGAIN, BUT STILL NOT A WORD. WHEN THEY LANDED, THE PILOT TURNED TO MORRIS. HE SAID, 'BY GOLLY, I DID EVERYTHING I COULD TO GET YOU TO YELL OUT, BUT YOU DIDN'T. I'M IMPRESSED!' MORRIS REPLIED, 'WELL, I WAS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING WHEN ESTHER FELL OUT, BUT 50 DOLLARS IS 50 DOLLARS!!!'

good afternoon all, I'm being quite naughty but the computer was 'just there' (amongst a huge room of others) thought i would pop in while I was at uni to do a little work, but you know how it is. Had to say hi and check what you were doing. So now I've looked, I'm off to play. catch you all later, Mad Monday is only 3/5 through. PS had a few nosey games back already - aren't they great. I was too shy to participate before. honest. byeee yvette xxxxxxxxx

Afternoon all :) out this evening so might be on late. Shazz, thanks for the email - Gwenda and I will be there :) Nice jokes Laurie. ~~~~~~~~~~~Vonny

Joods or SuzyQ could you please email me another Wattlers list, I didn't finish adding to my address book and now I can't find my list I printed out. Thank you, only when you get the time of course. Love the jokes Laurie. Trifley that arm was playing up when I came to see you I'm glad you're having some treatment for it, all the best with the accupuncture. Hi to everyone else hope you had a good day luv Jillx

~~~Waves to all the Wattlers~~~ You lot have been a bit quiet today! What you all been doing? I had one of those restless nights again last night and didn't get to sleep until after 2am, but that's okay 'cause I slept until 10am, so I still racked up 8 hours sleep, lol. Thank goodness I don't work, heeeee. Just had one of those cape seed rolls from Bakers Delight (Brumbys) for dinner. Very yummy and good for you, but I'm still pickikng the sesame & poppy seeds from the teeth. I'm trying to be good with my eating and have even cut out the grog for a while. I need to get myself fit for that Antartic trip which is only 5 months away!!!! Well, I'll check in again later. Tomorrow Terry and I are off to Lowes Wines to cut 400!!!!! vine cuttings (shiraz). Oh goodie!!! Lew Lew xxx

Please, if no-one minds me asking. Has anyone received any pm's or emails asking for my email addy? Can l please make sure everyone knows that l don't wish for it to be given out under any circumstances. Rebs x

Hi everyone :-0 Laurie lucky you having so many snuggles :-) PMSL at the jokes. Tassie glad you had a good day. Trifley hpe your arm gets better soon. SuzyQ glad to hear Sophie is starting to eat now. btw you said 5 lessons, I only read 4 lol. Rebs I haven't had any pm's or emails (as far as I know, haven't checked out my emails yet). I wouldn't give out your email addy without asking you first or anyone's come to that. Up late this morning, 10:30, so haven't done anything yet, there are advantages to the summer holidays lolol. ~~~~~~~~~to all~~~~~~~~~ Catxx

I haven't Rebs and I think we all know that no one but the Wattlers is to have each others addresses, excepting The Cat and a couple of the other pommies. Lew Lew xxx

Hello Cat. I was up late too! Throw me out all day!! Ahh, it's great to be retired, lol.

LOL Lew

No Rebs I haven't and wouldn't give out any of the Wattler's addys, I wouldn't give out anybody's addy for that matter without prior consent, What's the prob?, anything to do with whats been going on in the UK.? luv Jillx

Evening Wattlers Rebs I am in the same mind as Lew and Juliecat, no I havent had anyone asking for your email and I wouldnt give it without your approval as you did ask that of us when you gave us your email, also the email addys I have for the other wattlers stays in that group and I dont even send an email to anyone who is not a wattler at the same time as the wattlers so they dont get anyones addy, if that makes sense. Waves to Juliecat and Lew and anyone else still about. Just got back from a meeting at the pub, and now having coffee before bed. Hi to Jill, you popped in while I was typing. Cheers Sue

*waves to Tassie and JIll*
