I overheard the following conversation once -



'I told her that the word gullible is being taken out of the dictionary.'



'What did she say?'



'What, really?'





I walked on shaking with laughter!:wah:

I wonder if I am worried they cant get along without me. They have done fine so far I guess. Yep, I need to go look for meself. I bet you are not missing the Uni are you. Lot of pressure there. I hated all the safety measures they forced on us just before I left. Hard to get the work done.

I might argue about that. I once thought that too but I found sometimes the long way around is the sweetest. Getting lost is not so bad sometimes.

I'm really bored, I'm even reading TruthBringers Encyclopedia..it's actually pretty interesting.

Okie - that's the poet in you!!!! Love it !!! And agree totally. I've had some of my finest adventures when hopelessly lost. And I do not miss the ANU at all. I've been invited to the 'prestigious' Town and Gown* event there next week. I'll see all the city and uni movers and shakers then. Hey, I might move and shake some, myself. Good champers will be provided too..... :sneaky:

*Last time I went to one of those I discovered that one of the Big Wigs being schmoozed was someone I'd not only known from kindergarten but had actually done a little schmoozing with, way back.. Made for an interesting evening. But I digress... weekend ... coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (And Mik are Romy are on their way to Paris!! Lucky Ducks!!)

G'day Zinkers!! That's desperate indeed!!! Saturday morning here and the sun is shining. And I wonder what kinda mischief I can get into today. I've been awake now maybe half an hour, so I'm rearing to go!! :sneaky:

Saw the movie 'A Good Year' last night. I know the critics have panned it and Russell Crowe but I loved it!! Set round Apt in the Luberon. You know, I never realised they stuck that lavender in the window boxes to keep the scorpions out. WOW. I'll remember that. Great Provencal countryside. And I got to hear the old song "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" sung in French. Interesting experience! I'm not a Russell C fan, but I thought he was drop dead gorgeous.. Oh la la !!

I'm watching Children In Need, a charity telethon thing where famous people do stupid things to raise money for disadvantaged children, its much fun!:D

Heeeee, there is no doubt you will be moving and shaking. They better give ya room. There has been a lot of good things done there at your University. And Jackie Chan likes it there too. Was it his Mom who went there? I hope you do go.

Yes, Mik and Romy are very lucky but then they worked hard and they had a good role model. Sort of made their own luck.

Giggle, Okie!!! Grin. I actually got a kiss from Jackie Chan. He endowed a lab, I think, in the med school in memory of his Mum, who lived here in Canberra.

Hi Beautiful !!!

Are we sisters, Magenta???

:p Dishes are finally done!

Remember the pregnant barefoot cajun girl at Mulattes? I tried to upload from my pc but failed. Oh well.

We had blackened catfish and jambalaya and I learnt to dance with a nail in one boot. What a bash !!!

Yep. That was great. I think the locals could tell very easy we were not cajun. Heeee. But I love that cajun music.

Chilly and cold morning here, right above freezing...................

Im sad and melancholy today. But oddly not in a bad way. More of just feeling really grounded and thoughtful. Sober I guess. Im kind of enjoying it.

This may be the time to write ............. or sit in the yard.

i have found that flirting is a great way to boost your ego. at my new job the ratio is almost 4 to one, women to men.

unfortunately, most of the women are married or soon to be.

i get along with dang near all of them. big surprise. but the one phrase that is driving me F-ing INSANE is...

"if i weren't married..."

AARRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!

if i had a dollar for every freaking time i heard that i could have bought a Lamborghini and paid Cash!

I am tired of being a pincushion-first a flu shot during the week, then a tetnus shot today. Only good thing is, they told me no heavy work today. Does that include washing dishes?:)

yes. yes it does. no vacuuming either.

i am giving you permission to be a lazy bum today. and if anyone gives you grief, you tell 'em that WOLVERINE told you to relax.

Oh, anything you say, Wolfy.............................

i LOVE old tom&jerry cartoons.

toons these days are too "happy/feely"

SnoozeControl;462914 wrote: Man, that sounds like fun!

I like zydeco too, Okie.




Loved it. Truly I got goosebumps when Eddie started singing. I hoped to see Touchdown Jesus or Joannie on the Pony when they were panning around.

I saw a nesclip that someplace you can get a flu shot without even getting out of your car. Drive thru shot for flu.

Lamborghinis are not all you might hope for. Unless you like to drive laying down. Give me a Rolls and I will be happy.

Oh my gosh! I hope they give you lollies too!:wah:

Yep. Another bad one is boiling the beans dry and burning the whole lot.

Or hard boiling the eggs, and you forget they were boiling.......................:wah:

My mom did that once at Easter, kaboom-eggs all over the place, and stinky!

Oh yes! I did that one too. Really bad..

Here is a recipe I like. I call it goulash but it is not truly goulash. Its called American Chow Mein.. I use a can of tomato sauce and some cayenne but otherwise its the same. and I dont use oregano. Might be ok.

1 pound ground beef

1 can stewed tomatoes

1 medium onion

1 tablespoon oregano- leaf, not gound

2 cups elbow macaroni

salt and pepper to taste

Cook macaroni as per package directions and set aside.

In a large skillet brown the ground beef and drain off any grease. Add the can of tomatoes and chop up. Add the diced onion and oregano salt and pepper to taste and cook together for a few minutes on low heat. Add the macaroni to the mixture and blend together. A great recipe for when crowd shows up. ( a special tip, ground beef can be cooked and frozen in zip lock bags and will keep quite well if all air is expressed from bag.)

It's a rule: if you're ever let back, re-establish the old hunting pack. It's a small site maybe but they won't think it's me, so they're easy as hell to attack.

I have the bla humdrums as well pinky. hope it passes soon. :-5

I'm tempted to but a hippy van and bugger off around europe for a few years or something! How come everyone else has exciting stuff happening?


sounds like a plan. Do you have lots of those old VW vans there. They used to be the van of choice for hippys here. I even had two VWs at one time but they are so much different mechanically than any of these Yank Tanks I dont know how to work on them.

Hey, who has exciting things happening?

It is hum drum for me too, Pinky, back to the classroom tomorrow..................
