Sorry Lara. Think you gotta let them all come through mate. Tony Oz..:>))

Lara. There is one way you can send certain incoming Emails straight into Deleted bin. In outlook express. 1. Go to Tools. ( click ) 2. Scroll down to Message rules.( click ) 3. click on Mail. ( Mail Rules ) a window will open 4. click on New 5. Put a tick in the box where it says:' Where the message body contains specific words' 6. Then a tick in the box ( Delete it )where it says:'Select the action for your rule' 7.below that is says: 'Apply this rule after the message arrives'where the message body ( contains specific words ) normally highlited in blue. 8. Click on the ( contains specific words ) and add your own word eg: Viagra......lol..... then click O'k..O'k Everything that comes through with the word in the context of the email with 'VIAGRA' will go straight in the bin. Tony Oz..:>))...... who got soooooo sick of Viagra emails.

good morning insomniacs. quickly moving this up a bit before i get cracking. its stopped reaining - yeah. just heard the weather report and its supposed to be 19 in sydney today. an improvement, hopefully all other areas will have a better day too. hope its a good one for you all love Yvette x

Morning all, rise'n shine. Thanks Laurie, I did actually miss Lara's first message, she'd snuck in between Tony 'n me! .. Now I'm up to date with all the news. Hands up those who have a sore throat all those who were singing along last night at the Golden Wattle party? .. I should have asked, did anyone use the 'Golden Wattle Cookery Book' (for Domestic Science, as it was called), when they were at school, or was that only in Perth? .. Hope everyone is well this morning and that you Trifley slept well. .. Also poor Lew, with the chainsaw going all night. I asked two questions about 4/5 pages back, neither of which were answered. .. One question I sorted out all by myself, but the other one - could some kind person look up their tv guide and tell me if 'Memoirs of a Geisha Girl' is in fact on this week either on local or foxtel. (someone told me it was showing). .. If it's on foxtel, I will miss out. .. I'm currently reading the book, and find it fascinating. Surprise surprise (even to me) - I'm home all day today - perfect chance to get some h********k done, well, I'll try. .. and as for the washing, I hope I can finally get it all dry and put away - Im sick of it hanging all around the place. Ive run out of news, not thinking straight, think I'm still half asleep. .. Will have a nice hot shower and get the brain working again. .. Have a great day all. Vonny & Mary - I can sympathise with you re looking after your grandkids and have something happen to them. .. I think it would be a grandparents worse nightmare. .. Incidentally Lucas is coming along great guns. .. Discovered his hands about a week ago, and often has them clasped. .. His legs have got longer and he found his feet as well. .. In between big smilies, he tries to talk to you. .. It's so amazing all this has happened in just 14 weeks. I'm off Jood

Morning Jood & all Wattlers, Daughter looked up Foxtel - no Memoirs of a Geisha that she could see - so don't think you are missing out. Maybe it's being released on DVD as they don't take too long once they've been at the cinema. Frosty morning here but should be 14, sun is shining and blue sky. HW on the agenda here too Jood as well as a walk to the V-E-T to pick up worming tablets for me puss cats - better book an op for 3C before we are inundated with kittens - hubby would not be amused - not amused that we have 3C so that would just be the end. Better make a move, will look in later Gwenda

Jood, OH said that Geisha was just released on to dvd on the 20th July. Probably be 12 months before it is on free to air tv. Bright and sunny here although was really foggy earlier. Have to fly as I have to put the car in for a service. Be back later Pam

Almost forgot, morning all Pam

Thanks, Duffy fluck and Glenda - ooops! just joking. Seems like I will have to get it out of the video shop - but as I dont have a DVD player that doesnt seen a viable option lol Jood

Hi ya Queenie, How did ya sleep last night. I'd be floored also after that many martinoonies. Pam

Jood psml duffy

Good morning Wafflers . . . . Another grey day on Botany Bay looming - once again I can't see the water - let alone over to the giraffes. Lara & Tony, I always go straight to my server home page and check out my incoming on 'webmail' before it downloads to my puter. I have the mail collection set way back at half an hour so I can get rid of anything I dont want on my puter before it is collected by Incredimail. Sometimes in 'Webmail' I also transfere stuff I'm not ready to collect yet (if I am only going to be online a short while) into the trash can and then transfer it back for collection at a later date. I am with Optus, but surely other servers have the same facility. Poor Lew . . . I suppose she will have a sleepin this morning - my McCullouch wasn't too bad last night. When it wakes with a pillow over its face it knows its in trouble. Wonder how Terry took the pregers news (love it Tony - but really interested to know how you know that trick ??? Is that one you know from experience ???) Well done Lara . . . and you didn't delete us !!! lol We have a new banner! Joodles, I couldn't see Memoirs of a Geisha on the free to air TV program, but I have the DVD if you would like a loan . . . Do you watch many movies, because I have a large collection on DVD if your interested. (you can watch them on your puter if you dont have a DVD player) Lucas sounds like he has done the right thing and completely smitten his grandma. It was the Commonsense Cookery Book in my childhood. I have my mums copy, and although the cover is worn and a few pages loose - I love it because of all the things she has written in it. The blank pages at the front have the toffee and sweet recipes she used, to make her contribution to the monthly Mothers Club Stall at our school. Morning Gwenda . . . Morning Pam Check back later cheers luv Laurie

Hi everyone!1 Just been on msn to Laurie and the first thing I have to do is wish Trifley well and so glad to hear her good news... stay positive and well sweetie...xxx I had a lovely birthday and many thanks for all your lovely e.mailed cards and wishes on the threads that were up for my birthday.xxx reminder...'must get me bus pass' The celebrations are carrying on in Blackpool on Friday and we will have a whale of a time till they throw us out of the hotel on Monday. nearly midnight here so am off to my bed and wish you all a lovely day and take care... best wishes , Anne xxx

Awww fluffy - I was only kidding!!! Laurie, that would be great - for a loan of the dvd if I can play it on the pc - maybe at the meet? I have a couple of photos I need enlightening on. .. You did tell me last time we met, but by the time the photos and I caught up with each other, the old brain had forgotten again. This time I will put a sticky thing on the front to write it in pencil. .. Did you ever find out who the green lady was? .. pmsl Well I did intend to stay well away from the pc, but I actually hand sewed a broken thread on my blazer, and 'had to come upstairs to get my dressing gown for mending' (hence 'I had to sit down on the computer chair to mend that') .. Hmmm that doesnt really sound convincing does it???? Jood

Morning everyone I haven't had time to read back but it looks like you had fun last night. Jood the Geisha movie was advertised on foxtel as coming out on dvd, thats probably why someone thought it was going on the tv. Movie wasn't bad but the book had heaps more detail. Same as the Di Vinci Code. Gotta run, off to Geelong for youngest nieces birthday. Have a good one Flakey

Thanks Jude for that, I'd say that's what happened, someone sort of half heard the name of the movie and a date - and put two and two together. .. Are you not very far away from Geelong Jude? I'm going down for a conference in September, but it will be pretty full-on. .. I'm looking forward to it. Yes, ok - right - I HAVE been doing housework, honest - I just cleaned my teeth and came in here to put some cream on my face.!!! Jude

Good Morning Wattlers Gee it is taking me a bit to get going today. Didnt sleep real well, too many things going around int he head about the house. I think I can get used to the idea of living over that part of town, and the girls and David like the house, I also like the house is just on the wrong side of town. I know I can see all you mainlanders laughing as there is only about 20 minutes between both places, not like Sydney or Melbourne when you talk of the other side of town and nearly need a packed lunch to take with you lol. Anyway the beds are made, breakky dishes done, so I had better get of here and go to the newsagent and buy our tatts tickets for the week and if our Wattlers ticket dont win the big one I hope our ticket gets a share. then I have to get groceries and back home. So I will be back on here this afternoon, might go for my walk while Im down the street as it is cloudy but not raining at the moment. 16 Sleeps, ooh getting closer:-)))) Cheers Sue

Good Morning Wattlers, 11am and still the fog has not cleared. Well, I managed to get back to sleep and slept in until 9.30! Thank goodness I'm retired, lol. Terry has taken the ute to the car dealer, as the dealer thinks he already has buyer for it! It's been a pretty good deal all round. Trading one Nissan Patrol ute (2000 model and pretty beaten up) and the 1997 RAV (which has seen a couple of altercations with roos over the years) for one brand spanking new Hyundai Accent Sedan. No money changing hands! Got to be very happy with that deal. I knew there was a reason we befriended the car dealer, lol. Well, the Accent won't be here for another month, but that doesn't matter. We now have one additional space in the garage and last night, or should I say early this morning, I had a brain wave! One car space is now going to be turned into my gym! Hooray. I already have weights, press bench, recumbant bike, stepper, tv to play exercise videos. It's going to be perfect! Well, I'm off to start the cleaning of the garage, but might have a cuppa first. How'd you sleep Trifles? Loved the photo! Chat soon Lew Lew xxx

UUhmmmmmmmmmmmm. Sue (Tassy) - it's MY turn to buy the lotto ticket for next week !!!! Lew .. am quite concerned! .. Are you going to be a one car family ??? .. What happens for instance if you drive down to Adelaide for a week with your sis - how would Terry get around??? But I'm thinking you must have another car in the other half the garage that you didn't tell us about????? Well, a pleasant morning - I did keep away from the pc for uhmmm about 2-3 hours, though I didn't do any h*****k - in fact I invited the older lady next door for coffee, and we sat out in the sun in my little courtyard and soaked up the Vitamin D, C or whatever it is. .... Nowwwww to resume my work! Jood

No, Jood, don't panic. We have, or had until about an hour ago, 3 vehicles. The RAV, Nissan Patrol Ute and the Mitsubishi Challenger (big 4wd). We need the Ute when we had the farm, but as we only have 25 acres and we have a big tractor, the Ute had become superfluous. So, we'll end up the Challenger and the Accent. Perfect! Lew Lew x
