hi, hi, hi. 'puter sitting here doing nothing. I am so tired. better than being crabby or stressy. (update - yo lew and donna) the exam consisted of 8 tables of different body sections. containing elbow, shoulder (forequarter?), wrist and hand. identify different bits, say what they do, what nerves innervate those muscles. I've read the stephanie plum stuff. good fluffy reading. We bought some and borrowed some from the library in large print, which made reading a total delight. Cracked the kids up no end seing me read large print books. All the normal ones had been borrowed and I was desperate. Possum read 1--> 11 too although we haven't 'accessed' the 12th yet. After the hissy fit the other day i recovered quite nicely. It was short lived. Another lovely coz in the uk has sent me some pics. I've only ever a met a couple of my many cousins, so it never ceases to amaze me that regardlesss of the side of the family they come, I can recognise familiar features, as a result i end up crying. Some of the stuff you guys send me too has the same effect. Before I get into an essay on deep and meaningful - i'm off. Caffeine intake required. I will send you pooly stuff Lew, also have a easy weights list on the hardrive at home too, for any body who wants it. How we going to enter 10 lines of numbers each on here? That will get Julie Puss happening. theres 19 lotto-ers. Could be fun. love Yvette

Dear Lew, is this the list you were after, found it lurking a couple of pages back. Can you see I have had withdrawals from wattle participation? ..........................................................................................

Morning Donna and a special good luck wish to Zack for the footy. Doesn't matter if they don't win, the privilege is having made it to the Grand Final. Not many teams can claim that! Lew Lew xxx

Okay Donna, may the power of the Wattlers be with Zack. That should fix it, lol.

Morning Wattlers, This will be a quick one before I head to the kitchen for more cooking Donna - all the best to Zack and his teammates - a win would be great but they've done well to even get to the Grand Final - positive thoughts anyway. Trifley - good news and hope tomorrow's appointment is just as good. Hope Laurie is having a safe drive north. Will you be speaking Danish anytime soon now you've got your dictionary - lol We could have our own Princess Laurie on the Wattle thread Yvette - hope the exam went okay - such a clever lady On a sad note my Mum's last remaining sister was diagnosed with liver cancer last week. Got Mum's letter this morning telling me she had been admitted to hospital and when I rang this morning she told me she had died on Saturday - at least the suffering was short-lived. Back to the kitchen, will drop in later Gwenda

Hello you crazy Wattlers, I had to catch up on about 7 pages, had a busy weekend plus had one g.child stay over friday night that put paid to any access to the puta, the darling girl alter my screensaver I didn't see it till Saturday but I now have a blue background with 'I LOVE U NANA' written in pink running across the screen. She's only ten, she knows more about putas than I ever will. Trifley great news and I hope tomorrow goes well for you also, you will be in my thoughts and I believe Jilly has her op tomorrow as well positive thoughts her way too Donna all the best to your son and his team for this weekend and take care of yourself, you mentioned having some muscular pain, do you take anything for it? Tony we had a simlar piza experience in our case they thought it was a pick up order, after nearly an hour we rang them and discovered the mistake 15mins later it arrived but the wrong order, another phone call was made, after another 15-20mins they arrived with two, one being a freebie so with the one we already had that now made three pizas to eat. I gave two to my daughter for the g.kids the next day, they were happy. Best wishes to everyone have a good day, off now to do a bit more transcribing. luv Jillx

Sad news about your aunty, Gwenda, but at least the suffering was over quickly. It's terrible when those things drag on for months, not only for the sufferer, but for all the family as well. (((hugs))) to you. Lew Lew xxx

Gwenda, So sorry to hear about your aunt. Thoughts and hugs for you and your family. Pam

Hi Wattlers I'm back, well just for short periods. My sciatica is getting better and I can sit for longer periods now. The head ache was my blood pressure getting all out of kilter. I am hoping it is all sorted out now, new tablets etc. Just back from doctors and she seemed happier with it. Have to have another blood test this week to check on everything else. I never completely get rid of the sciatica, I just control it with paracetamol. The specialist wanted to operate on my back, but I didn't like the odds and decided against it. I will just have to be more careful of how I lift, bend, twist etc. I have a bulging disc that presses on my sciatic nerve. I keep hoping that I may sneeze and put it all back. One of the pleasures of getting old. If I could loose weight I think it will be easier. Enough of me. There are far too many pages for me to read, but I I read something about an extra lotto ticket. Can someone please explain. I think it is my turn to buy the ticket next week. Well, I had better not push my luck, time to get moving Luv SuzyQ btw if there have been any exciting or scandalous events could some one please bring me up to date.

SuzyQ There is a fugitive on the run heading for Qld. The border patrol is on the lookout for the drug trafficker. Just make sure you keep your doors locked. Ducky

~~~~~~~~~madly, just about to go to 'work' so catch you all tonight. have to be quick or Ducky will get me :) 13. You are stuck with your debt if you can't budge it 14. Local Area Network in Australia: The LAN down under. 15. A calendar's days are numbered. 16. A lot of money is tainted: 'Taint yours, and 'taint mine. Vonny

Hi Wattlers Gwenda...sorry to hear about your aunt. I hope your mum is ok. Hugs to her and you. Yvette...that exam sounds tough. I haven't touched an anatomy book in decades so I'd probably fail the first question....'Name....' lol Donna...I'll email you about getting together on Sunday, after the big game, for a cuppa. You'll only be 5mins from my place. Crew....that lunch sounds spicey. You wait 'till you get to my age....you wont be able to even talk about food like that....pmsl We'll certainly rack up some pages on Friday when we put our Lotto lines on here but it is probably the easiest way to do it. As far as I'm concerned....if my ticket wins something then IT GETS SHARED WITH THOSE WATTLERS WHO BOUGHT EXTRA TICKETS. I don't mean to yell I just want to make sure I'm understood. Graeme and Mark are both off today so I've asked them to repot some plants for me. I'd better go supervise. see ya'll later. love Trifley X

Hi SuzyQ...keep on top of that BP. It can be nasty if let go. Duck...I have people keeping a close eye on the border. That fugitive wont get far.....lol Hi Vonny.....how's the boat going? I'd better go make nthese 2 a cuppa before I have a revolt on my hands. TX

Heeeheee Greetings from the number nicker who didn't have to take her sox off . . . . yeeee I can count !! Sitting under the golden arches having a cuppa coffee, I thought they may get upset if I just set up shop and used their wireless - but the coffee not bad anyway. Travelling well, actually enjoying it! Trifley . . great news hon - will be in touch later Gwenda, your poor mum must be feeling very sad - special thoughts for you and your family. Love the lists Vonny . . . where you dig then out of . . . must remember to go back and save them for Ray he would enjoy reading them. Anyway mail has downloaded now so will get off here and take fowers to the cemetery for my wonderful parents. I have the bucket and cloths ready to wash the bird poo off - their grave is right under a tree, dad would love that the birds were pooing all over him - but mumsy would really appreciate it being cleaned off whenever possible. Catch you all later luv Laurie

Laurie What you doing sneaking in like that...you should be on the road... Love Mary xxx

Vonny, they aint gettin any better..lol Trifley, keep cracking that whip....oooooooohhhh Safe driving, Laurie Pam

Afternoon all Just having 5 mins breather, half way through washing one of the bathroom walls and ceiling, it is a smaller one and ceiling is only about 8 foot can reach it by standing on chair. Gwenda, thoughs going to you and your family at this time, as it was said earlier, at least by the sound of it she didnt suffer long. Trifley I am with you in regards to the special tickets bought on Friday 'Wattle day' or for that reason, that any winnings be shared with the ones that bought the tickets, which may be all of us anyway. Will have to let our faithful leader work out how we share the money when we win and are we still having this weeks normal Wattlelotto? Tony ??? SuziQ good to see you pop in. I hope the back continues to improve to a bearable situation. Donna congrats on your son's team making it to the Grand Final, fingers crossed they do well. Ok better get back to work. Cheers Sue

Hello all sorry been absent couple days been doing the touristy thing and I get very tired from travelling around its as though I've walked to where we've been. Gwenda so sorry about your Mum's sister hugs for you and Mum too (((( Gwendaand MUM))))) Donna 'Go the Hornets' all the best for Zack and the team just do your best fellars and congratulations for making the Grandee . Laurie guess you are on your way seems our Laurie is not the only naughty one I just heard on the news that a 5ft marijuana plant was found growing in the driveway of a retirement village somewhere the seniors who live there said 'we just thought it was nice looking weed and it wasn't hurting so we watered it too' oh yeh sure we believe ya . Mary the photos in the pool were gorgeous and your face said it all enjoy sweetie you did look so happy. Trifley I agree if you buy an extra ticket and one of those lines win then you share with those who have put their no's on here as having bought ten extra lines in honour of Wattle Day on Friday or as in Mary's case they are sent to us by Tony and are the extra ten lines ok everyone agree so then those who don't buy extra TEN lines are not in it if they don't want to be and no pressure if you don't want to be fairest way I'd say. BTW getting back to FH can anybody help with this please when my Smedley family came over in 1856 Laurie found out that it said in the Archives for me that George's brother and Mother were already here but I looked on passenger lists and it doesn't say them on ships arriving earlier than 1856 although there is a list with Mr. Smedley and Mrs Smedley on about four lots of them but as John was only young boy would not have thought he would be called MR on the list what do you think and is there any other lists for arrivals in Sydney before 1856 please that you know of, that I might find Hannah and John on . All the best for the exam Yvette hope you do better than I would have in such a subject mate you clever cookie Tiger got a nice certificate for winning the Bocci mens singles yeh well his game just came good for that didn't it eh let me down badly in the doubles as I said thank the Lord or I would have had to play more games with back aching and tired out just from walking up and down and bending I'm so fit PmsL there is site on the net you can find it by going to 7 today tonight yahoo site it tells you how to improve your life style and when you will live to if kep on as you are NOT going there it will say you should be gone already woman get real LOL ok made up for being awol so will see you all tonight love Lara
