If that comes within an inch of here I'll set the fox traps. They're good for slinking lurking cats.

Dont tell me I missed it after all that.Darn. Himself insisted on a shower before eating and I couldnt get here quick enough.The showering thing is getting to be a bit of a business. Won't tell me he can't do it by himself and will only have silver chain if he can vet her first!!! HIS only other suggestion is for us to get in together and rub each other up.! Huh, think I came down in the last shower? See you in the morning .Healing hugzs all round. Hugz I said. Luv Merle

I'm back - just finished looking at 800 photos on a slide show that my brother took in America! Tony - it was absolutely and definitely you - I checked the numbers very carefully! Only way it might have looked as if it was me was if someone deleted a post later. So - you are no longer a number virgin my friend. Back to look at more photos - very spectacular of Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Death Valley, Mexico, Las Vegas etc - but blimey there are a lot of them! XX Anna

Sounds like fun Merle (tee hee) - don't they make double showers these days??? Jood

Morning all.. Time you were all up and scrubbed,, Have to feed the OH and get him to the doc. again.. Back later Love Mary xxxx

Hi Mary I'm up and scrubbed - hope your trip to the Doc provides some answers for John Hugz Anna

Morning all I'm up and scrubbed too!!! I also hope John finds some answers, it's ridiculous that its gone on so long. My last full day here in Perth, and the temp has dropped at last (as you know, we have that cyclone further up the coast) I'm gonna look for and chase those newbies who were here just before xmas. Wish me luck! Love Jood

Morning Wattlers. Cool and overcast here today. Might even get some rain! Off for a day trip to Sydney tomorrow to buy some suitable South Pole clothing. Should be a interesting shopping trip. Good luck to John today, Mary. Hope all goes well. It's the not knowing that's more worrying than anything. Have a great last day in Perth, Jood. I think the Cat must have rubbed up against you lot, lol. Fighting over the number, shame on you all, pmsl Been up since 5am, so better go and get some brekky. Love to you all HRH Dr Lew Lew xxx

Jood. What a bummer,, I forgot that you would be near Sylvia, and Norman,, I would have got her address or phone number for you to give her a call. I am sure she would have loved it,, Will be nice to have you home again and in our time zone.. Sort of miss you even though you are still in the country.. Who are you going to look up..cant remember many from the West coast as they didnt stay long.. Ian is over there but he hasent been on for ages.. If you are looking in Ian pop in and say HI... Debra Wishart is also over there.. HI Debs, hope you are OK.. Now must go and scrub myself so back later.. Love Mary xxx

I totally forgot about Sylvia & Norman too Mary - have no idea where they live. I could have rung her. I didn't mean chase up people in WA, I meant the newbies I pinched from that OTHER site just before Xmas, one lived on an island in Qld, and the other in Grafton. I dont know Debra Wishart - never heard of her???? I feel a bit guilty being on the net actually. .. I'm hooked up to my sisters adsl, but thought I was going through my server, but it;s going through hers and nearly gone through the roof. She is well over her limit it seems, and we are back on dial up. I have offered to pay anything over what she normally pays. .. We saw a graph of the usage the other day, and ever since I've been here, - well put it this way, you can tell what day I arrived ! :(( I'm now retrieving my mail in web mail, as I do get a lot of junk (jokes from american friends who don't know how to tidy up their emails). Guess I'll wander out and get my brekky - its 7:25am and no-one else has stirred. .. Lazy sods! hahaha Have a great day. Jood

Good Morning all Well thought I was going to work Tiger to a stand still today doing all the things that should have been done before he goes to hospital on Monday but guess what a couple of blokes just arrived to pick him up for golf in Tocumwal GRRR Wednesday is the only day he doesn't play normally now and he's supposed to do stuff OR take me out but he says seeing as he's going to Hospital all previous Wednesday arrangements are null and void the Butter he is, but I think from now to Hospital all previous marital arrangements will be null and void too haha . Merle you funny girl what do you do wear a raincoat in the shower or what ?? Put on your bathers as protection and get in with him girl hehe , and Hugs((M()))) to you too Mary do hope they solve the problems John's having and find something to stop all the pain he is in . Lew good luck finding Sth.Pole clothing can just see you popping into clothes stores and telling them you want clothes for the Sth. Pole they will think you are on something or delusional and think you are Mrs Claus hehe Jood have a lovely last day in Perth and safe trip home again please can you send me the addie for getting Power Point again Jood so as I can put on my desk top looks as though I will be using it for a while now. Laurie are you there yet ??? Ducky where are you girl ??? Tony's not a virgin anymore Hooray. Wilson hope you are feeling better too now. Flaky you still on Hamilton or blown off , and if Roy is catching fish what is he catching please ? Is Kate there now ? Hope sun is out and you having a relaxing time as you should be . Did you all hear supermarket ladies from NSW won Oz Lotto last night 15million they had to be rung to tell them and they did not know they had won one lady didn't have the phone on and her mobile was not working so they rang her mother and told her that her daughter was 5 million richer omg the lady who held the ticket didn't have it at work so then she rang her son to tell him to check the numbers for her as the tattslotto man was on the phone saying she had won and the son at first checked her ticket not the syndicates one what a schmozzle apparently the syndicate lady travels 200kms to work everyday and she said she might buy a helicoptor now to come to work one oh boy wouldn't you be dying hoping they hadn't messed up and got the wrong people.

Hi all had a bit of rain this morning which is lovely.. Oh went to the quack and it looks like a operation early next month. Looks like he needs a Cervical Laminectomy...He is getting one more opinion before then if possoble but it looks like the op is certain..If it is before the Mudgee meet I am sorry I wont be able to come as I will have to drive the car until OH is fit or able to do it .Dont know what the outcome is where driving is concerned yet. So sadly I have had to cancell my booking at the Motel ,,We think the op could be the first week of feb. I will play it by ear and see what happens.If the op is after the meet I will see what his condition is and take it from there. Must go and do some H,,,k yuck..back later Love Mary xxxx

HELP! HELP!!! I'm being attacked by a box of dark chocolate coated ginger!!! I just passed the sideboard and it jumped out at me and I had to eat it in self defence!! (Garfield) Now I can't stop. Where are all the dark chocolate ginger-eaters anominomyouses when you need them! LOL

Back, back you fiendish chocolates. Send them here, Vonny, I'll save you, pmsl

Mary, i just lost a reply to you - I will retype. *speaking sternly* If you luscious dark chocolate coated ginger pieces don't get back in the box this very minute...................................... I'll send you to Dr Lew............... minor chord.

Mary, butter, butter, butter!!! My eldest has had two spinal operations - the last was a laminectomy of L4/L5, and they can do wonders with liquid bone these days. Is it from a fracture or discs wearing out? At least he shouldn't have to wear a full body cast - they use corsets these days. We had to try and keep a 15yr old still in a body cast for 6 weeks!! ha ha. It didn't happen. Vonny

Thanks Lew Lew. Told them I'll pour hot water over them and they got the message. nasty, vicious little things, like you wouldn't believe. *typing with a straight face* Vonny

Vonny Do they make head to neck casts..lol he wont be able to eat for 6 weeks then..and will lose some weight,,lol It is the spinal cord being squeezed by the bone ,and he will just take some bone out to give the cord room to get some fluid around it..Or something like that...you get the picture.. I would love some of that chocy if it hasent gone already.. I dont think it had a chance of survival... Lew send her some anti-chocky pills she may need them... Love Mary xxx

Mary, I guess he'll have a head and neck contraption like eldest was wearing last week!! But tell him to cheer up - eldest could still eat with it on!! just a bit difficult to chew! (we have a spare one now by the way!) :) Vonny
