Fitz, Sandra is in Wollongong on the South coast down from Sydney, and Shazz is a little further inland on the way down to Wollongong. Jood

Morning Wattlers, Good luck Trifley, ((((Hugs))) and best wishes coming your way. Hi Fitz, lots of Australians on this thread, and we only say nice things about each other here lol. sometimes you might need a bit of Ozzie slang to know what is actually being said lol. Cold day here, but at least the sun is out. Just got back from having a hair cut, why do the hair dressers always put so much stuff in your hair that you don't look like yourself until you get home and wash it out. Have a good day all, Ooops i just wrote have a good lay lol. Take care Wilson

One for our JulieCat: Old Mr. Johnson had troubles of his own, He had a yellow cat which wouldn't leave its home; He tried and he tried to give the cat away, He gave it to a man going far, far away. But the cat came back, the very next day The cat came back, they thought he was a gonna But the cat came back, it just couldn't stay away. The man around the corner swore he'd kill the cat on sight, He loaded up his shotgun with nails and dynamite; He waited and he waited for the cat to come around, 97 pieces of the man is all they found But the cat came back, the very next day The cat came back, they thought he was a gonna But the cat came back, it just couldn't stay away. He gave it to a man going up in a balloon, He told him for to take it to the man in the moon, The balloon came down about 90 miles away, Where he is now, well I dare not say. But the cat came back, the very next day The cat came back, they thought he was a gonna But the cat came back, it just couldn't stay away. He gave it to a little boy with a dollar note, Told him for to take it up the river in a boat; They tied a rope around its neck, it must have weighed a pound, Now they dragged the river for a little boy that's drowned. But the cat came back, the very next day The cat came back, they thought he was a gonna But the cat came back, it just couldn't stay away. He gave it to a man going way out west, Told him for to take it to the one he loved the best; First the train hit the curve, then it jumped the rail, Not a soul was left behind to tell the gruesome tale. But the cat came back, the very next day The cat came back, they thought he was a gonna But the cat came back, it just couldn't stay away. The cat it had some company one night out in the yard, Someone threw a boot-jack, and they threw it mighty hard, It caught the cat behind the ear, she thought it rather slight, When along came a brick-bat and knocked the cat out of sight. But the cat came back, the very next day The cat came back, they thought he was a gonna But the cat came back, it just couldn't stay away. Away across the ocean they did send the cat at last, Vessel only out a day and making the water fast; People all began to pray, the boat began to toss, A great big gust of wind came by and every soul was lost. But the cat came back, the very next day The cat came back, they thought he was a gonna But the cat came back, it just couldn't stay away. On a telegraph wire, sparrows sitting in a bunch, The cat was feeling hungry, thought she'd like em for a lunch. Climbing softly up the pole, and when she reached the top, Put her foot upon the electric wire, which tied her in a knot. But the cat came back, the very next day The cat came back, they thought he was a gonna But the cat came back, it just couldn't stay away. The cat was a possessor of a family of its own, With seven little kittens, 'til there came a cyclone; Blew the houses all apart and tossed the cat around, The air was full of kittens, and not a one was ever found. But the cat came back, the very next day The cat came back, they thought he was a gonna But the cat came back, it just couldn't stay away' You won't be able to stay away for long! Lew Lew xxx

Its ok Fitz - Im used to everyone singing Hey Jude - or saying Judy-Judy-Judy lol Now Polish ancestry I know nothing about, but I had a quick look for Kowaleski and found 2 living in Sydney, the only two in Australia. By the sound of it, Kowaleski is a newer version of the name. It does sound vaguely familiar however. I don't envy you trying to look for so many different spellings of the name!! pmsl Jood

Morning All, Sunny so far but cold wind, good for the washing. Hugs to Triffley~~~~~~~ we are all thinking of you. Welcome home laurie. Cat what a shame if you don't renew......... Still have daughters parrot, being picked up tomorrow, the other Grandson's rabbit is now staying here,because they have 2 dogs and the rabbit has no grass to run on and it does get neglected I said why don't you leave it here, they are really no trouble to look after, very quiet and not much mess. ( oh I'm a sucker I know) lol But I love to see him run around the yard and click his heels( funny woman you might say) Well back to doing stuff see you later. Cheers Sandra in the Gong.

Hey Fitz, I suppose you would say the site is mainly UK, but there are a lot of Canadians and Aussies on it. .. At this time of year (our winter, your summer) - the time difference is worse, but once we go on daylight saving and you go off it, the time difference is much more sociable. We are a friendly lot - so stay with us. Can I help with your fhistory - or is it mainly canadian based, in which case, I couldnt help, even tho my own ggf was born in St Catherines, Niagara on the Lake. Jood

I'm back !!! We were in the car on the way to the airport when the earth moved in Jakarta last night, but we didn't know anything about it untill we got to the airport. Thank heavens we weren't on one of the freeways in the air - apparently they had a good sway up. Oh Great Trifley one. . . You have the power of the wattle with you my love !!! ((((hugs)))) We got in, I took one look in the fridge and said to Ray - you know they serve a mean breakie down on the corner - so thats what we did! I managed to convince the lovely Ray that he whould grab a little more sleep before he goes to the office, so he's in there zzzz'ing and I'm suppose to be working. Neice Oni is coming down from West Wyalong today - should be here for dinner tonight, staying two nights so that will be good - wont get much sense out of me, Ah she is lovely - and she's me best mate! Gunna have to have a nana nap this afternoon because sure as eggs are eggs we will be still chattering away in the wee small hours of tomorrow morning. Better get off here, get the suitcases unpacked and get all of the loot out of the living room - then I'll have to go out to find some food - and have a quick clean up! Hip Hip Hooray . . . Tony beat the Cat . . . !! Dont like the weather you all turned on for me - it was 25deg at 9pm in Jakarta last night! Hope all the sickies are feeling better - cheers luv Laurie

Morning all, Just on the way to mind grand D. Nice one Tony. Angel Cat - are you sure we aren't your sociology subjects ? :) pmsl Please renew - we would be lost without you! The 'cat' of last night's post is hubby. He is away for two days with work! I must away too but........... I'll be back. special wave to Trifley~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vonny

Well glory be .. I knew there was a number up for grabs, but the way you lot were talking, I thought you'd all go to bed and it would be waiting in the morning. Trifley - if you are a private patient, you shouldn't have to pay for phone calls, just the dial up. My server allows so many hours of dial up free per month. .. Hope all goes well for you, we are all thinking of you while you are in hospital. When we get up to near 10000, we will have to have a party, but none of us can talk until Lara gets the big one. .. We might have to start up a new thread just for the night .. pmsl Brrrr its cold here this morning - not as if it's early either - it's well after 7. .. Oh well, a nice hot shower will iron all the kinks out in my body so I can stand up straight! .. pmsl Hope you all have a nice day and welcome home Laurie. Love Jood <by the way, I like Jillaroo also Jude>

Thank you Tony :-) Trifley thinking of you. Now I really do have to go out. See you all later :-) but just before I go Anna I have a fridge magnet that says that lol

Housework!!!!! Cleaning the house while the kids are still growing is like shovelling the path when the snow is still snowing!

Get some work done in the house lolol Seriously though I will have to come back at some point as I have the Liverpool meet to organise but I may take a couple of weeks out and get some things done. Of course with the way you lot waffle I may still be here for the big number, unless Lara is back then it's hers.
