The Wild Winds

Well... it's all set now. I rang the family friends and they said that the place we are going to see DHs Gran, Bundaberg,  is about 1hr drive from Hervy Bay, where they live. So we are going to stay with them when we go up there.

In turn, they are going to stay with DH and I when they come down her next month.

Phone numbers and emails swapped now.

Wow... I can't wait

You might be quite charged with energy, but somehow you may feel as if you have nowhere to aim it, dear Scorpio. The force is there, but the goal may not be. Conversing with other people may only confuse you more. Listen to yourself above all others. You know yourself better than anyone else knows you. You have nothing to fear. Don't let doubt consume you. If it doesn't seem like the right time to make a move, don't worry about it. There is nothing wrong with stillness.

Funny, because I do feel charged with energy today. Although my head feels rather seedy for some reason.

Well as Chyna has been doing today, I thought it was time to cull the dead wood from my friends list. Haven't done it for... ummm... two weeks now, lol.

Well I only had one. Haven't heard hide nor hair of this person since I accepted his invite for a buddy about a month ago. I think this is the second or third user I've had to do this to.

Why do they do that. Invite other users to be friends and then never show up on their blog again? I know some people would have more pressing problems in their lives than to worry about wasting the time of an online community; which is fair enough. But then others; You wonder why they set up a blog at all. Oh well... each to their own.

I for one, am completely addicted to blogging. I've even started up another account at my old blogging community again. And so far I've managed to pick up most of my old friends again and have had no trouble with certain people.

Actually, it's been easier than I thought it would be. I do my post in here first, and if I deem it appropriate for the other blog, I just cut and paste.

Oh well, that's my babble for now. Gunna go catch up a bit now, see what my pals are up to.

Jeez, I'm an idiot. I have been blogging here for awhile now and always thought it was a pain to have to go to the front page to find my buddys most recent posts.

I have just noticed that on my posts page, under the thumbnails of my buddies there is a little link to their posts. Must be one of those weeks for me.

Whew... set aside a bit of time if you want to do this one; Copy and paste, then delete my answers and put your own.

Ok, only in here for a minute; will come back tonight and catch up. Just thought I would share this email that hubbys auntie sent to us. If your easily offended please don't read further;

What is wrong with me today? I can't think in a straight line or anything. Every time I open my mouth, words fall out in a jumbled mess and god, please don't ask me to explain it; that will really send me in a tizzy.

I hate it when I get like this... I am a bit tired today as I didn't sleep properly last night, but I shouldn't be this bad. Maybe I haven't been taking my anti depressants properly... I don't know, I can't remember.

The biggest thing that worries me when I get like this is that maybe people who get alzheimer's get like this years before they develop the more extreme symptoms. Don't know.

Actually, I think maybe I'm just tired... I just found myself sitting here for 5 minutes in a bit of a daydream, staring at the tv... yep... tired.

Oh, surprise, surprise... the school sent another note home today. One of the kids in miss5 class has been found to have nits... sheesh... At least this time they have to report to the office before they start school again.

Whew!!! It takes forever to catch up on all my replies to my email. Taken about an hour and thats not even catching up with new posts. How do people with 100 or more friends do it??? I only have a few buddies who post regularly, but boy can they write, lol. Leave them alone to their own devices for a couple of hours and WOOF... they whip out a few more posts, lol. You guys are gunna be the death of me... or at least my poor little fingers

I reckon today has been the coldest day of the year so far. I think we reached 10degrees at about 3pm. And of all days, today was the busiest.

We had to get both miss5 and miss3 ready this morning as miss3 goes to the baby sitter on Tuesdays. Then after taking them both to their designated places I realised that I hadn't handed in the permission note for miss5 levels picnic in the park today. Hubby had already taken the car out, so I, in all the freezing cold wind, walked back to the School with scrap of paper in hand.

I was a peoplesickle by the time I got home again, only then discovering that hubby was only out for about 10mins and the car was home on my return... grrrrr.

My son and I went out to do the thrill of all thrills... the grocery shopping. God how I hate doing the grocery shopping, and another hour down.

Had miss5 levels picnic at 12.40pm and the wind chill factor was 'balls of a brass monkey, in the freezer' frigid. It was soooo cold, I got a paper cut on my butt from the frozen grass... lol, just kidding.

Anyway after finally being able to pick miss5 up from school at 3pm and then miss3 up after that we finally got home, to the warm, toasty, almost want an affair with and will tolerate the singe marks on my lips, gas heater.

I am not moving from this room again until next Spring...

Your Family Is 87% Dysfunctional

Your family is more than a little nuts. And you definitely should think about moving on. This doesn't mean you need to completely cut your family out of your life... But it does mean you need to create a healthy support system of your own. One that doesn't involve your family. Even if you've already made a clean break from your past, it still may be haunting you. Checking in with a therapist from time to time is probably a good idea.

Hubby and I have been hearing an annoying little tune for ages now. It is just like 4 musical notes on a scale; bong, bong, bong, bong, like a computer toy or a digital watch or something.

We guessed that one of the girls has left a toy somewhere, but we just can't find it. We have looked absolutely everywhere for this damn toy. To no avail.

We were once in the dining room when it went off and I started looking under the table and behind things and under hubbys computer even... nope not there.

Today the stupid thing went off again while I was in the kitchen; I thought to myself; that's strange, it sounded like it was in the dining room the last time I heard it. But that's neither here nor there, so off I went trying to find this damn kids toy with the eternally fully charged bloody batteries. Again, I came up empty handed.

Anyway, my son and I were in the loungeroom tonight, by ourselves, after the girls had gone to bed and hubby had gone for a sleep in readyness for his night shift tonight; Then the familiar bong, bong, bong, bong. My son pipes up and says 'Oh, the tumble dryer has finished'. 'What'? says I... 'The tumble dryer has stopped. That's it's little tune to let you know it's done'.

Oh god I feel like an idiot!! My son thinks I'm hilarious... I can't wait to tell hubby...

Thu Jun 14, 10:36 AM ET

JAIPUR, India (Reuters) - A 73-year-old Indian farmer who vowed not to marry before passing his high school exams has failed to get through for the 38th time.

Shiv Charan Yadav has been taking the exams -- normally given to schoolchildren at the age of 15 -- every year since 1969, without success.

He was in his 30s when he first decided to better himself through education.

This year, he failed everything except Sanskrit, scoring only 103 out of a possible 600 points.

He said he found mathematics especially hard, blaming the subject for dragging down his score.

"Once I pass I want to get married to a girl who's under 30," Yadav, who lives alone in Kohari village in the western desert state of Rajasthan, told Reuters.

He is now revising for his 39th attempt next year.

Azanmig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! if y ou can raed tihs forwrad it.

So far the only person I have met that couldn't read it was my son, lol. I think the average is a bit higher than 55%

My son has just recently become the proud parent of what looks like an 8 week old pure black kitten (oh joy 'sigh'). So in effect I suppose I can say we have a new baby in the house, lol.

We aren't sure what sex it is, so I was going to get hubby to hold kitty up, so I can take a picture of it's ahem... bits... and then sent the pic to my mil so she can tell us, lol.

Our old cat; S....., hates the poor little thing. But then that doesn't suprise me as S..... has been top dog, per say, for about 10 years now. Little kitty or Skitz (yeah, my son named kitty) likes to sleep on the bed with his new daddy now, right were mr top dog used to sleep. So now mr top dog won't sleep on the bed at all. Some one has had his cute furry little nose put firmly out of joint.

Miss5 and miss3 are treating the poor little thing like a wind up toy. They don't really chase little skitz around the house, they just follow puss while walking and try to remember that they aren't allowed to yell or scream or act silly around the new baby.

Miss3 is forever scared that the new cat is going to bite her, like the old one does. But then the old one is a crotchety old grouch and can only tolerate the girls for a short amount of time (no he doesn't get away with it, he gets a smack). I suppose it doesn't help when miss5 keeps telling her that the kitten has really sharp claws and teeth. Kids hey, can't live with them, can't tie them up and lock them in the basement, lol.

Anyway, that's our new addition to the family; another bloody cat...

Here are some ways to really annoy people big time...

Sing the Batman theme incessantly.

Specify that your drive-through order is "to go".

Learn Morse code, and have conversations with friends in public consisting entirely of "Beeeep Bip Bip..."

If you have a glass eye, tap on it occasionally with your pen while talking to others.

Amuse yourself for endless hours by hooking a camcorder to your TV and then pointing it at the screen.

Speak only in a "robot" voice.

Push all the flat Lego pieces together tightly.

Start each meal by conspicuously licking all your food, and announcing its your property.

Leave the copy machine set to reduce 200%, extra dark, 17 inch paper, 99 copies.

Stomp on little plastic ketchup packets.

Leave your turn signal on for fifty miles.

Name your dog "Dog".

Insist on keeping your car windshield wipers running in all weather conditions "to keep them tuned up".

Reply to everything someone says with "That's what YOU think!"

Declare your apartment an independent nation, and sue your neighbors upstairs for "violating your airspace".

Forget the punch line to a long joke, but assure the listener it was a "real hoot".

Follow a few paces behind someone, spraying everything they touch with a can of Lysol.

Practice making fax and modem noises.

Highlight irrelevant information in scientific papers and copy them to your boss.

Make beeping noises when a large person backs up.

Invent nonsense computer jargon in conversations, and see if people play along to avoid looking ignorant.

Erect an elaborate network of ropes in your backyard, and tell the neighbors you are a "spider person".

Finish all your sentences with the words "in accordance with prophesy."

Wear a special hip holster for your remote control.

Signal that a conversation is over by clamping your hands over your ears.

Disassemble your pen and "accidentally" flip the ink cartridge across the room.

Give a play-by-play account of a person's every action in a nasal Howard Cossell voice.

To really annoy people, stand on a street corner, pointing a hair drier at passing traffic, and watch it slow down.

Holler random numbers while someone is counting.

Take a sock puppet to dinner with you. When the waiter comes to ask you what you want, consult the sock. When the check comes argue with the sock loud enough so everyone can hear you about who will pay the bill, throw him down and say "Fine you pay!" then leave.

 

Jeez, I reckon I actually know people like this, lol

I am so happy...

Had to see miss5 teacher today for mid year results from the kindergarten testing. Miss5 is going really well at School and apart from art (which I already knew), he favourite subject is maths. Mrs Gimbert (her teacher) said that she thinks miss5 would be above average if she didn't lack confidence because of her speech problem.

Her only real problem still seems to be physical education. Mrs Gimbert thinks she lacks gross motor skills for her age. We did have her hearing and gross motor skills checked out awhile ago and they said both were fine, but I think I might get her hearing checked again at least. I did tell her that she seems to fall over quite a lot at home, but we both don't know if this is because she is just clumsy or really does have some problems in this area. Can't hurt to have them checked again.

Oh, she is also starting to mix and play with the other kids better as well. That's a real load off my mind, because both the teacher and I were worrying about it.

Well, had better get going. Promised hubby I would take his lunch up to work for him today.

He he, just brought me a Pro account on flickr. Jeez, you guys will see some photos then. I'm gunna put everything on when it goes through. Told my wonderful hubby that If I can get a pro account the download for photos is unlimited and very high quality, so his mum would just be able to download pictures of the girls straight off the site, instead of me sending her a little squashed up version in an email. So he sarcastically said; So if I let you buy a year subscription it will be for my mother to download pictures, not for you? I say 'yes darling, you know how much your mum likes pictures of the girls. Now she can download them straight from the net'. I don't think he fell for it, but hey he let me get the subscription, lol. He's a big softie

The doctor said, "Joe, the good news is I can cure your headaches. The bad news is that it will require castration. You have a very rare condition, which causes your testicles to press on your spine and the pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles."

Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He had no choice but to go under the knife. When he left the hospital, he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself.

As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life. He saw a men's clothing store and thought, "That's what I need... a new suit. That'll make me feel a little better."

He entered the shop and told the salesman, "I'd like a new suit."

The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said, "Let's see... Size 44 long."

Joe laughed, "That's right, how did you know?"

"Been in the business 60 years!" the tailor said.

Joe tried on the suit... it fitted perfectly.

As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about a new shirt?"

Joe thought for a moment and then said, "Sure."

The salesman eyed Joe and said, "Let's see, 34 sleeves and 16-1/2 neck."

Joe was surprised. "That's right, how did you know?"

"Been in the business 60 years." Joe tried on the shirt and it fitted perfectly.

Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked," How about some new underwear?"

Joe thought for a moment and said," Sure."

The salesman said, "Let's see... size 36."

Joe laughed, "Ah ha! I got you, I've worn a size 34 since I was 18 years old."

The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size 34. A size 34 would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache."

New suit - £400
New shirt - £36
New underwear - £10
Second Opinion - PRICELESS

A lady goes to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a Scotch with two drops of water.
As the bartender gives her the drink she says, "I'm on this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday and it's today.."

The bartender says, "Well, since it's your birthday, I'll buy you a drink. In fact, this one is on me."

As the woman finishes her drink, the woman to her right says, "I would like to buy you a drink, too."

The old woman says, "Thank you. Bartender, I want a Scotch with two drops of water."

Coming up," says the bartender.

As she finishes that drink, the man to her left says, "I would like to buy you one, too."

The old woman says, "Thank you. Bartender, I want another Scotch with two drops of water."

"Coming right up," the bartender says.

As he gives her the drink, he s ays, "Ma'am, I'm dying of curiosity. Why the Scotch with only two drops of water?"

The old woman replies, "Sonny, when you're my age, you've learned how to hold your liquor. Holding your water, however, is a whole other issue."

A woman was walking down the street when she was confronted by a

particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked her for

a couple of dollars for dinner.

The woman took out her bill fold, extracted ten dollars and asked, "If

I give you this money, will you buy some chocolate with it instead of

dinner?" "No," I had to stop chocolate years ago, the homeless woman replied.

"Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?" the woman

asked. "No," I don't waste time shopping, the homeless woman said. "I need to

spend all my time trying to stay alive." "Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?" the woman asked.

"Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless woman. "I haven't had my hair done in 20 years!"

"Well," said the woman, "I'm not going to give you the money. Instead,

I'm going to take you out for dinner with my hubby and myself tonight."

The homeless Woman was astounded. "Won't your hubby be furious with you

for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting."

The woman replied, "That's okay. It's important for him to see what a

woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments,

and chocolate."

Ok nighty night fellow bloggers. Catch you in the am.

Jeez it's been quiet in here lately. No one seems to be around.

When I first joined here I would spend an entire day just replying back to replies on my posts and catching up with buddies posts. Now I've started hunting down posts to read.

Where are you guys??

Your Candy Heart Says "Get Real" You're a bit of a cynic when it comes to love.
You don't lose your head, and hardly anyone penetrates your heart.

Your ideal Valentine's Day date: is all about the person you're seeing (with no mentions of v-day!)

Your flirting style: honest and even slightly sarcastic

What turns you off: romantic expectations and "greeting card" holidays

Why you're hot: you don't just play hard to get - you are hard to get

Old tribal wisdom says that when you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. Businesses, however, often try other strategies. These include...

1. Buying a stronger whip.

2. Changing riders.

3. Saying things like "This is the way we always have ridden this horse"

4. Appointing a committee to study the horse.

5. Arranging to visit other sites to see how they ride dead horses.

6. Increasing the standards to ride dead horses.

7. Appointing a tiger team to revive the dead horse.

8. Creating a training session to increase our riding ability.

9. Comparing the state of dead horses in today's environment.

10. Change the requirements declaring that "This horse is not dead".

11. Hire contractors to ride the dead horse.

12. Harnessing several dead horses together for increased speed.

13. Declaring that "No horse is too dead to beat."

14. Providing additional funding to increase the horse's performance.

15. Do a CA Study to see if contractors can ride it cheaper.

16. Purchase a product to make dead horses run faster.

17. Declare the horse is now "better, faster and cheaper."

18. Form a quality circle to find uses for dead horses.

19. Revisit the performance requirements for horses.

20. Say this horse was procured with cost as an independent variable.

21. Promote the dead horse to a supervisory position.

After getting back from our whirlwind trip from Adelaide I didn't really feel like doing too much this weekend. Well the powers of UK tv must have heard me and they have put series 1 and series 2 of the new Dr Who on. So hubby and I have been as happy as Larry here all weekend just watching them. It's so convenient with the computer sitting right next to the tv.

The girls aren't too happy about 2 solid days of Dr Who, but oh well, they have their own tv, so it's no use them complaining.

Posted some photos of the girls today if any of my buddies want to see them (and have a gander at how short miss5 hair is now). I've gotten used to it and think it's quite pretty now

OMG It's cold tonight Wasn't this cold in Adelaide. It's 7deg. The heater doesn't even feel like it's working. I'm sitting in the loungeroom and my fingers are so cold typing on this keyboard. Actually we didn't even really have to put the heater on while we were away. Think I'm going to have to find my ugg boots and put them on. My toes are cold too.

Well, as I stated earlier, I'm back!!!

I will never travel at night again... yuck. None of use got much sleep in the car on the way, and by the time we got to Adelaide it was too early to book into the hotel and the girls were inconsolable by this stage. It was awful.

But I still managed to have some fun while there even with the little whinging harpy (miss3).

We managed to go shopping, to the beach, get lost a zillion times oh, and go to the zoo. The girls have never been to a zoo before.

Oh, and my son looked after both girls at the caravan park yesterday while hubby took me into the Art Gallery to see the Ancient Egyptian exhibit there that was on loan from Le Louvre (did I spell that right? You know, the art gallery in France). It was practically a once in a lifetime opportunity and my wonderful hubby didn't want me to miss it. I couldn't take pictures though (bummer), so hubby brought me a book about the exhibit instead.

We stayed on for one more day than we were going to, and spent a lot more money than we planned on, but oh well, it was a nice break.

Hey guys I'm back!! Haven't got time to write to much just yet, because we have only just got home an hour ago. Will catch up on everyones blogs and even have an invitation to join someones buddy list (will check that out later). Ok, got stuff to do right now, will hopefully get back in a couple of hours. Missed you all!!!

Wow, I would hate to see how often I came in here if I tried to leave the place completely. Yep, I'm here again.

But then I have got quite a bit of what I had to get done, today. Almost finished the packing (which is a good thing, cause I hate packing).  The girls have been good, considering I'm not paying them much attention. Still got miss5 home from school. I think we have most of the little beasties out of her hair, but just want to make sure.

I feel a bit better than I did this morning. I was still really angry with hubby this morning, but I'm not as mad at the moment. I still think we need that talk though, or things won't change.

Sorry I can't get to everyones blog today, but we are going to Adelaide tomorrow for a couple of days, so I really can't muck about on the computer today, or play with you guys.

So, don't forget me, and don't get up to too much until I get back.

Can't play today guys, I've got a real lot that I have to do. Hopefully I will catch you all tonight. Have a great day

We seem to be getting on top of the lice thing. We worked out that only miss5 has them so it must be a real recent infestation. The poor little thing has had her hair combed and recombed, washed, conditioned to death and is now nestled in a shower cap. I did find some of the live little beasties today so obviously the medication didn't kill them all yesterday, but at least I am torturing them with the tea tree oil as well, and all the conditioner should smoother any left.

I feel a bit better about the whole affair today as I'm on top of it. Yesterday was like some type of nightmare. I've never had to deal with head lice before; I or any of my brothers or sister have never had them and my son never had them. As I was combing her hair out last night It took a while to figure out what the tiny little brownish things were. Then I figured; these must be the lice eggs.

Thanks for all the support guys

Jeezus, my bloody hubby hasn't been here all day, and now he's actually having to help me with this nit thing, he is getting shitty. I've done this all day and haven't bitched about it (never washed so much in my life). He's rinsed the girls hair out and is now putting conditioner in it and he is carrying on at me. It's moments like this I feel like I could crack him over the head with a frypan

Ok, we've got the stuff in miss5 hair, and trying to comb out the horrible little nits is frustrating. They just won't come out. Her hair is extremely long as well and coarse. Is there any other way to do this that anyone knows of? She just keeps screaming and I know the comb is hurting her. Jeezus apart from having her head shaved I don't know what else to do.

Must be one of those weeks.

I've been tossing and turning all night, because miss3 came to bed with me last night and then proceeded to whine and whinge in her sleep all night. I finally found out at 7am why: we were coming out to the loungeroom when she threw up what little stomach acid she had in her tummy. Now I just feel bad, for being mad at her the poor little thing.

Hubby looked after her for me while I got a couple of hours sleep. Then I got up to find out that miss5 didn't go to school today. She keeps complaining about an itchy head, so while we were both outside in the back yard I thought I would check this itchy spot; ACK!!! HEAD LICE!!! I've never seen them before, but there was no mistaking what all these little white things attached to the hair were, yucky!!! Well, a good mother doesn't whine about such things, so I just got down to the task at hand; sent hubby off to get the right shampoo etc... while I stripped beds and rang her school and madly started washing everything in sight.

Told hubby to ring work and tell them he can't come in today; everyone has to have the treatment, obviously except for my bloody son who refuses to stay home and went out with his mate. Hubby said he's not coming back into the house until he gets his head done. (Yum, chocolate soy milk. That's my snack today steve_p)

Anyhoo, on to the story again... my girls have feather down quilts so I can't wash them, so I chucked them into the tumble dryer on the hottest setting to kill any little buggies... guess what... the bloody tumble dryer gave up the ghost. OH BLOODY HELL... ANY DAY BUT TODAY!!!

So now my loving hubby (with treatment in hair) has gone to buy a new tumble dryer. It's ok though, it only looks like brill cream or something, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't have them, because his hairs so short and I've checked.

Aaaaannnnddddd to top it all off, we are in the middle of trading in our car to buy a new car. Well not a new car, another car. Poor old hubby is driving around the courtesy car while the car yard sorts out our car and the one we want to buy.

Ok, can anyone top this day???
