Evening Watlers I didn't realise how useful these lap tops were. I'm ironing, preparing a chook dish for Graeme's evening meals at work, on here and watching the news! i couldn't have done all that while sitting in the back room at the old '98'. I should have got one of these years ago. Mary....hope your settlement goes well. Laurie...did Beetson write the book or get a 'ghost writer' to do it for him? He never seemed to jave the nouse to be able to write. SuzyQ.....put me down for the 13th. Lara, Little Duck, Sandra & Rebs.....how did the lunch go? Big ~~~~~~~waves to everyone else. Mark has just got home and the darling has bought pizza.....isn't he a god boy? I'l be back X Trifley P...Cat person...if you pass all these subjects you can be our resident sychologist....we'll have plenty of work for yo....pmsl

Jood re numbers I have no idea pmsl. I have 4 cats although the youngest is my daughter's rather than mine lol Trifley PMSL I won't disagree with you lololol. Problem is psychology and sociology don't interest me in the slightest. I'll be glad to give them up lol.

Hi all, Busy, busy, busy today. Good news about the house, Mary. Mr Picky was always going to make a pathetic offer! Not sure I want to be psychoanalysed by a Cat!! LOL Julie, I haven't met anyone who liked those subjects - they just need to be endured. I also have extremely strong opinions as to what should happen to such offenders. I would never be chosen for jury duty! I think it is time that we - The Public - should strongly make our opinions known in such cases so that the consequences do fit the crime. (better stop - you haven't seen me on a soap-box before!) I have a joke!!!! This is a world first as usually I can't remember them :) Mr and Mrs X had a baby boy. They decided to name him Odd. The poor child had a dreadful childhood and a miserable time at school because of his name. High School was worse and Uni not much better. Even when he got a job he was teased mercilessly about his name. Even in old age the Social Security people used to giggle about his name whenever he had to submit his pension details. Finally, as he was approaching the end of life he made his relatives promise that his name would not be shown on his grave. Just the date of birth and date of death. His wishes were carried out and his headstone was engraved without his name. The ploy ,however, was a complete failure. As people wandered about the cemetery - as you do - they would pass by the headstone, stop and exclaim: Isn't that Odd? Hz, thank you soooo much. Haven't had time to study the info yet but will do so tonight :) ~~~~~~~~~Vonny

My sister from Perth just emailed me with the following Did you know that she had both arms and legs broken and raped both front and behind strangled all in 10 mins. You just can't believe anyone could do such a heinous crime. That poor little girl. Jood

Evening All Jood you should know we all worry about our fellow Wattlers. And after having pneumonia last year, and Im sure anyone who has had it can vouch the same, it doesnt take much to have a relapse. Gwenda mmm a massage by a manservant sounds nice, however I have had probs with my back over the last couple of months, not sure exactly what is going on but it seems if I am up and about a lot or standing for a while doing stuff, by afternoon my back grabs everytime I stand up or sit down, once Im seated it is ok, but if I stand for a few minutes it starts aching, however I go to bed and once I get comfy and get to sleep, I wake up in the morning with not a sign of pain, so no idea what is going on !!! Well I will go and get organised for bed. Catch you all tomorrow. Cheers Sue

Awww Sue, thank you for your kind comments. re your backache, I go to bed ok and wake up with a backache, the opposite to you - and I dont know whats going on either! .. But nothing a hot shower wont fix. Jood

Just popping my head around the door to say Hi. I haven't been on the boards much this week as I have actually been doing some family history (!!) as I have received 7 certs this week from GRO, so have been updating info. Plus of course I have work during the day. Tried to whizz back through the thread to catch up on all the goss, but haven't had a chance to read all the pages, but I gather Mary has sold her house - congrats. I trust it wasn't to Mr Picky??? SuzyQ - you said you'd send me the list of all the Wattlers, did you remember or has the email gone off into cyberspace? Or worse still did I give you the wrong email address?? Shazz - you're in for a cold night out at Mount Annan, I even had to scrape the ice off the windscreen this morning. Did any of you see the program Grumpy Old Women last night on ABC? I can so relate to what they say! OK girls will leave the room now as am surrounded by family history that needs sorting and if I don't say bye now I won't achieve anything. Have a good night. Lyn

Jood I just saw your post that you put on while I was typing. I used to get a backache after being in bed, usually if I sleep in a hard bed it will play up, but a soft bed I have no problems, but as you said a hot shower does wonders in that case but doesnt seem to do much with what I have at the moment, have tried it to no avail. Cheers Sue

My sister also said The police have made an announcement on the TV to say that the murder of the little girl and the guy is not related to the Bolger Case in England and that all the emails etc that are going around at present will make it harder when the case goes to trial, so not in their words 'Just cool it'. So I hope everyone shuts up about it (the rumour) - otherwise the guy will get off. Sorry, I didnt mean the Wattlers, I meant the general public. Jood

OH Jood, this is so sad. How would a ( maybe intellectually challenged) person know to do those things unless they had been done to him. I believe the ACT has the weakest laws re porn videos etc. - this has to be addressed, and freedom vs dysfunctional family life has to be debated. Does anyone object now to CCTV (closed circuit television) in public places ?? It’s a very issue to resolve …… I have no answers. Mary - Fantastic News about the house , well done, don’t have any second thoughts about the dollars, you could hold out for more and not sell for months, and Time = Money. So you “ Did Good” . Look forward to the new place with lots of time to enjoy it!! Welcome to Faye – any rellie of Shazz’s is a friend of ours –especially if all her jokes were really yours ! pmsl !! Now don’t get upset Shazz, I’m a bit like Vonny, it’s a miracle if I can remember a joke, but I laugh as loud as the next person at them. “groaaaaaaan” Yvette LOL Devly, snap, we had tuna and noodles for tea, yummy and easypeasy, more time for a bit of a garden tour (b…y cold, but ongoing discussion of backyard renovations) and a movie together ( Good Night and Good Luck, the movie George Clooney made – OH and I lived in USA for quite a while so interesting to us but not perhaps entertaining… its in Black and White so visually arresting, subject matter pretty envigorating – one for Lew to enjoy in her retirement lol) DD14 has landed OK, now in Rotorua for 5 nights, singing her little heart out I hope, lots of fun activities eg tonight a Hangi and Maori culture night ( just wait till she hears them sing!!), Laurie will know what she’s in for. Meanwhile I get to chose the TV progs ( House !!) Laurie – tut tut – one must overcome one’s predjudices you know, to become enlightened – and you have, despite the football, discovered gems of family history lol – (is Marie your sister or cousin, I guess you mentioned but I can’t remember). Vonny I knew you were out today but still a bit nervous I’d sent too many images for easy download- don't want your computer to crash (hides head under blanket) but then it was ancestry stuff that you couldn’t get yourself and I’ve left all the bdm’s to you!! OH went shopping today, came home and THREW OUT OLD STUFF !! Miracles DO happen ! SO I’m off to sort, fold, tear up into polish rags, and pack a garbage bag of giveaways for Lifeline bin. Nite all. Hz in Albury (-6 dg forecast tonight!)

Jood thanks for letting me know that. I have deleted my bit so others wont read it and wonder. Heather, yes Tuna is so versatile and also good for you. Cheers Sue

Oooooooooooo Sue, I didnt mean you to do that. I was trying to get the msg out to the general public - who wont be reading this anyway!! Jood

Hi Mary, no dont get jokes from Rebs, I get them from my mad friend Faye, who has just come on board, so you can blame her for the laughs, and congratulations on the sale of house, good things comes to those who wait Ah ah Suzy your quite right, seems noone has been to the naughty corner since Rebs has been missing, does that tells us something, Where is ya Rebs He he Hi there Faye, yeah right quite and reserved my eye, he he, say hi to Lorrie for me, probably wont remember me and mummy dearest is 77, are you on msn hotmail, thats what I am on, just ask and some kind person on here will guide you thru it Jude 2, your not wrong there, she is just as mad as me, madder in fact, but thats why we get on so well, shes great fun Jood, Faye went to Bathust yesterday, and Rob was home today, no work again, so I didnt make plans for today, Pat rang me today, got home from Melbourne last night, said she had a great time, so will have to make a date for another day out Hi Vonny finished packing that case yet LOL, loved the joke, somehow I knew how it was going to end, you nut, hows the boy, feeling better now, as for being on your soapbox, I think we're all on them at the moment, something certainly has to be done with these misfits, cant keep letting them get away with it Hi there neighbour, actually it was blasted cold here last night, couldnt seem to get warm in bed last night, have electric blanket but dont leave it on all night, so might pull out the bed socks tonight,lucky you with your certs, obviously I am not seriously doing proper research, will have to start knuckling down and concentrate, cant seem to get off this crazy thread long enough to concentrate OOOh Heather, hope your've kept your long johns, dont want you freezing aaway now do we lol, and thats OK about the jokes, my memory has a very short leash also, told you lot before I suffer from CRAFT disease LOL Why that B*****D wasnt locked up anyway beats me, its not the first time hes been charged, certainly glad I'm not his parents and Jood and Tassie, hopefully he'll be put in a cell where he'll get his just desserts and suffer like that little girl Shaz

Good evening Wattlers House is on so I have been very firm with myself and not stayed to watch as he makes me so mad - he is bitter and twisted and nasty and mean and he could do with some of Dr. Lew's purple anti -psychotic pills. Mary - how wonderful about the house and I add my twopence worth to the throng - I'm so glad Mr.Pernickety Pain in the Butt didn't get it! Hope it all goes through without any hiccups and you can get on with your life in the lovely new unit. Where are Fluffy Duck and co? Lara - are you still talking to them??? Devly - take care of that back. Maybe it's muscular if it feels better after a rest. Trifley - I though you wanted July 11th or 12th as that is when Graham is off. Will Chris be the only poor male there or is Neville coming SuzyQ? Not that Chris minds the company of ladies - in schools he was often the only male staff member and he could certainly hold his own with the women! Vonny - are you packed? What an adventure you have before you. You are very brave. Jood - that is just horrific about that poor child. Appartently, the perpetrator had been up on a similar charge previously but got off on a technicality. The police were furious that he got off last time and are being extremely careful this time that everything is done by the book so that there won't be any loopholes.I'm afraid the most base instincts rise up inside me when a crime like this is committed - Chris says if he was the child's father he'd go after the animal with a gun. One thing, if he goes to gaol and the other prisoners get anywhere near him, his life won't be worth living. Even seasoned criminals have a code of decency about crimes against children. I'll change the subject - I feel so sickened by the whole thing. Heather - sounds as if you had a good clean up in DD's room. I would dearly love to do a blitz on my DD's drawers and cupboards but once they get to almost 16, they feel - and rightly so - that their privacy is being invaded if Mother goes through their cupboards. At least she made a fair job of cleaning the areas that are in public view! Maybe Aunty Lew could come up and sweet talk her into doing a spot of spring cleaning! After spending 9 hours cleaning a new house Lew, every surface must be germ free and sparkling! So - where are the ruddy photos...??????? It's clean - you can take photos!! Hello Faye - we are just a bunch of sweet little ladies who are very prim and proper and wouldn't say s....t for sixpence! But it's not quite full moon yet!!! Welcome aboard. And our mentor is in Paris - he usually stirs us all up and encourages us to misbehave. HI Rudee! Electric blanket should have warmed up the bed nicely by now so I might just toddle off to the land of nod. Be good sweet maids XX Anna

Jood Oops sorry not thinking too good, Just dont want him to get off as I mentioned I only heard part, anyway Ihave had tablets, electric blanket is on high so I am going to call it a night now, seeing as I was goin to go get off here about an hour ago. Hopefully I will be able to think a bit clearer. Good nite, Cheers Sue

Hello Wattlers Anna...I know you don't like House....but it must be the bad boy in him I like. Wuldn't like to live with him but he does make an interesting character. Graeme is off on Tuesday 11th & Wed, 12th but is working from 12:30pm on Thursday so can't make it to the sacino. He wants to meet you & Chris so it's better if we go to Tamborine on the Tuesday, if that's convinient with you? Vonny...liked the joke...keep it up. Have you finished packing yet??? Devily...sorry your back is crook. It effecys everthing you do...healing thoughts for you. Lyn...isn't it satisfying when you get some FH done? Hz....(see post for Anna)...Blue eyes...Housies got blue eyes Shaz.....I agree with you about the WA child killer. However....don't be too disappointed if they find him unfit to plea. Unfortunately he will never go into general population so it will be very difficult for anyone to rein forth retribution upon his head. And people say there is a god. What could this sweet child have done to deserve such treatment? I think on that note I will bid you all a good night. Sleep well my cyber-friends. love Trifley X

Morning all, Still waiting for the pickles (pics) and gos. of the mini meet with Lara ???????????? Cold day here, time to have a nice hot shower. Jood
