General Chat

Greetings Wattlers. We have friends arriving in an hour or so for a week, so I have been busy making sure this dusty house is fit for their arrival. Lara and Tony, thanks for the winning numbers and we'll chat later tonight when we find out exactly how many millions we have won. Mary and John, have a great time fossicking. As Tony said, I also know exactly where my family left all the nuggets, so when you find them, we'll discuss a recovery fee, lol. ~~~Waves to all her special Wattle Friends~~~ Lew Lew xxx

Hello all, Again can someone please tell me if I did read somewhere that often in Census they listed men who lived in the house as SIL or DIL when they in fact were step sons or step daughters I was very puzzled as there were 3 SIL in the House and No daughters at all then I remembered that I thought I had read that somewhere at one time . I am on lost cousins trying to find peeps who may have still been hanging around still over there in the 1881 census , cheers Lara

OH GOSH I think Tonys explanation was funnier than the joke..pmsl... Lara I would be happy to search the cemetary you mentioned near Dunolly, dam, forgot the name, but know where it is..pass it every time we go ..have I got the names as it is some time I had them and now have forgotton most of them.

Well i surpose in that case....let me put it a different way. She smacked the ball and thought she hit him in the 'Snake hands wif me wifes best friend '....et al.........Point percy at the porcelain '.........but she didnt, she hit him on the thumb.....so he wacked his hand between his........ hows ya father.......and she rushed to aid him....but the lying swine.....didnt tell her.....that he got hit on the Thumb..........and being the kind woman she was,( thinkin she had ruined his honeymoon tackle) administered first aid...to his Mrs best friend.............and as Barb says.....He gotta freebie......:>))) Tony Oz..:>)))) Hope that helps.

Very well put Tony, but Anna still doesn't get it. Says she doesn't play golf. Sorry Anna, just couldn't resist. SuzyQ ( being wicked, must be getting better )

But then...... Barb is very blunt. I would have been more tatcful......with something like.....read my 'Friendship' thread. People come into your life for a reason...Ect...ect..ect When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and 'SUPPORT', to aid you 'PHYSICALLY', ect...ect....ect.......... They may seem like a 'GODSEND' and they are.............Ect...ect..ect............. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Tony Oz.....:>))) always willing to help.

Anna....... re the Golf Ball joke. As Barb would say.....He gotta freebie.....:>))) Tony Oz..:>))) A very shy person.

SuzyQ That was a private enquiry!!! No need to splash it all over the board so that everyone knows how innocent I am!! Hope your hens turn into ostriches and kick your hen house down. :>(( Anna PS BTW - What does the ball joke mean? I don't play golf.

Just forgot, will some one please explain the balls joke to Anna. Also, I sent mail to Gwenda and it came back as mail box full.

Hi Wattlers, I would like to issue a warning to anyone taking a short break or planning an illness. Don't. It takes too long to catch up and you miss out on all the exciting stuff, like major regal take overs.. Laurie next time you and Mary decide you want to take the throne, first you should lobby the phlebs and give the ruling party a chance to lobby also. It may take longer, but the outcome would be much more democratic. And we could all have a good laugh at the antics used to get our vote. Maybe we should set up rules for dethroning. Any suggestions for future use. As you may have noticed I am feeling a little better today, thankfully the head ache has gone. Yesterday I felt like there were a hundred little men inside my head, banging little hammers trrying to get out. Today I have a sore nose and top lip and for some reason the end of my tongue is sore. Also, all the yucky stuff that wanted out is now stuck in my throat and won't budge. Just a few things I can remember over the last hundred pages, ( well thats what it felt like ) Gwenda, hope the legs get better soon. Look on the brightside and be thankful you didn't have 4 to be xrayed. Well done Tamika, first interview, hope you really enjoy your job and get to buy lots of goodies, but don't forget to save some of it, even if it is only 10%, it will soon add up. Washing dogs and cats, been there. We had a cat who got some weird skin desease, and we had to bath her every day. I recommend armour plate. My dog doesn't eat others left overs, she prefers steak. LOL but she does find some strange perfumes from time to time. Now, my dad's little dog, she loves chook poo and I noticed occasionally she enjoys the odd tasty morsel of cat poo. Why do we love our pets so much. Trifley, I do hope you niece is okay, I had a similar scare at 29 and it turned out fine, but I know she must be really worried. Hugs from me. Looks like the Pink Polo Picnic might get rain. Hope not, if I can find someone to go with I will go for a couple of hours, as long as the head is feeling okay. Mary, hope you have a lovely holiday, and while you are away you should swat up on the rules of royal take overs. I think a few golden nuggets will earn you a reprieve for now. Shaz, I do hope that every thing is well for you now. I can remember when I was about 10, a friend of my mothers started to take some diet drink that was popular at the time, late 50's early 60's. She ended up in hospital having a stomach operation. I think it all set solid or something. No wonder it was slimming, nothing else would go down. Its one of those things I have always remembered and it put me off any of those products. Jood, our black chooks are the broody ones. The red ones never go broody, they are bred to lay eggs only. The black ones are nice though, some of our black ones are crossed with the red ones and they don't seem to go broody either. I know I will have forgotten some thing or some one, please forgive me, but i hope that you are all well and happy and after tonight, wealthy. Luv SuzyQ

Gwenda. Sorry mate, but Lotto Email has bounced back. Sent it to two different Email addy's i have for you, but both came back. ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- Tony Oz..:>))

Arvo. The boss has sent me the Lotto numbers, so have posted off to all. Mary have a great trip down to Dunolly. Haven't been up there for yonks. We detected more in Wedderburn, Fryers Creek, Heathcote, and around Graytown ( old P.O.W ) camp. Some of my Hull line were Pioneers in the Donald area....a little place called Cope Cope between St.Arnaud and Donald, my G, Grandad McCarthy and two of his sons were a miners at Ballarat and Bendigo. Barbs pioneer Ancestors were miners at Creswick and Clunes so when we meet up will have to have a yarn about the yellow stuff. Happy hunting.........but if you should hit a biggin ( Nugget.... that is ) it could be the one i buried up there a few years back. It will be easy to tell its mine or not.......its Yellow and very heavy....lol Time to pull out the tools and get this bed finished. I'm sick of sleepin on the floor...hee hee Have a good un. Tony Oz.....:>)))

Glad to see you is gonna behave, Mary....pmsl Hey Ducky....it's been raining at Rebs....maybe it'll go over to you TX

Afternoon all Has taken me ages to catch up on all the pages but have just about p*******d myself laughing. Wilson I agree with you, anyone coming on here would think we are a bunch of lunatics. Not a nice day here today, all cloudy but no rain. Jill my butt muscles are still sore, so I think I'll have a quiet day. Your trip sounds really good. Do you want me to carry your bags for you. When I was in England in 2003, we had a bus driver who had a thing about roundabouts. At least once every day he would go round and round and round. Had to have his daily fix. The funniest time was in Scotland when we were going to a pub for dinner.Tiny little roundabout, big bus going round and round and the looks on people's faces was priceless. Hafta go, be back later Pam

Oh Queen...please send Nefer as I have been so bad I need roughing up...\\ Oh the joy ,,, sorry ... oh no oh no.....I promise to be good,, today at least.. Your smerf Love Mary xxxxx

Morning everyone Mary.....I hope you've learned your place! next time you do something like that I'l send Nefer and the brothers to rough you up! Nah....that's no good....you'd probably enjoy it....heeee heee Gwenda...Go get yourself some support panty hose......immediately! They are cheaper than 'anti-embolism' stockings from a chemist but work well. You need ones which are graduated....stronger at ankles...easying off as they go up the legs. You are obviously having trouble with your venous return and if you don't do something about it now it will get worse as summer goes on. Email me if you want to talk about it.....but DO SOMETHING! The Queen has spoken! Big waves to the res tof you crazies....I'm having a quiet day today. Saving my energy for the IKEA sale tomorrow. Big Hugz Trifley X
