Good afternoon Wattlers Both my boys are off to work, the beds made and the house tidy so here I am! Hi Yvette.... I would have liked to sign in first thing this morning but Mark was using his lap top and I can't drag my desk top around the house. When I eventually get my own lap top it'll be...turn the coffee on with the left hand and the lappy with the right. I'm a woman...I can do two things at once pmsl. Donna..I've PM'd you. Email me ....I'll go anywhere on the GC for coffee. Hi Cat person...dontcha just love sales? It's good to see you are training your daughter well too lol. Hi Joodles....ok...off to the health food store again for you. Get a botle of HIGH POTENCY CRANBERRY TABLETS. Yes, that's right, the same as the fruit. You can drink the juice but you need a lot each day for it to be beneficial...that's why the tablets are better. Take one (1) twice a day for a few days then as things improve drop it to one a day. It doesn't hurt to take them on a regular basis. (Another free consultancy from Queen Trifley) Need c o f f e e ! I'll be back XX Trifley

Morning Jill & Vonny Jill I think I keep missing you on here, but Hi. I took so long to get last messaged typed you all crept on while I wasn't looking lol jude 3 (the other melbourne one)

Two elderly women were eating breakfast in a restaurant one morning. Ethel noticed something funny about Mabel's ear and she said, ''Mabel, do you know you've got a suppository in your left ear?' Mabel answered, 'I have a suppository in my ear?' She pulled it out and stared at it. Then she said, 'Ethel, I'm glad you saw this thing. Now I think I know where to find my hearing aid.' When the husband finally died his wife put the usual death notice in the paper, but added that he died of gonorrhea. No sooner were the papers delivered when a friend of the family phoned and complained bitterly, 'You know very well that he died of diarrhea, not gonorrhea.' Replied the widow, 'I nursed him night and day so of course I know he died of diarrhea, but I thought it would be better for posterity to remember him as a great lover rather than the big s**it he always was.' An elderly couple were on a cruise and it was really stormy. They were standing on the back of the boat watching the moon, when a wave came up and washed the old woman overboard. They searched for days and couldn't find her, so the captain sent the old man back to shore with the promise that he would notify him as soon as they found something. Three weeks went by and finally the old man got a fax from the boat. It read: 'Sir, sorry to inform you, we found your wife dead at the bottom of the ocean. We hauled her up to the deck and attached to her butt was an oyster and in it was a pearl worth $50,000 .. . please advise.' The old man faxed back: 'Send me the pearl and re-bait the trap.' Have a good day all Heee Heee Shaz

Hi Yvette, I'm Jill from Ipswich near Brisbane, I'm fairly new but felt so welcome straight away I soon lost my shyness, but in public I would certainly be the quiet one, not like some I've heard about. Those all going out to lunch have a lovely time, behave now, no! have fun. Anna has your daughter got her results yet? and to all the sickies get well soon, love Jill ps I'm going to my FHC to try yet again to track down my Irish gparents, wish me luck

Morning Vonny, Sorry Guys I must confess, poor Joodles was trying to get it but I beat her to the punch, you guys will have to tell me how you know when its coming up. CONFUSED Shaz

Nice to meet you Yvette - I can understand you not wanting to drive up Macquarie pass, I had occasion to drive down to Nowra recently through the mts and I was scared stiff. .. I live in the blue mountains - they dont worry me a scrap. Vonny - I copied the fish and the waves, I'm not that brilliant but I'm fantastic at copying hahaha Jood

Cmon Yvette, only an hrs drive from down there, Joodles is driving down from the Blue Mountains, come and join us Shaz

gotta go, will definitely be back here. thanx 4 the welcome, hope you all enjoy the day!! x

Morning all, That's weird, I was sure I said good morning before.!! Hi Yvette, glad you came to visit. I didn't dare tell you how mad we actually are on here incase you were frightened off!! Please ask anyone if you want to know what something means. As you have seen this morning, SOME of us are obsessive about numbers (well done Shazz) some about singing, and we all have our little foibles (cute fish Jood but how did you do the waves??)and mostly we are as mad as cut snakes :) We actually even do genes work sometimes :) off to mind grand-d again today as her Daddy is still sick and daughter has to work today so might not get on till late tonight as have to shop this evening also. have a great day all ~~~~~~~~ Vonny
