Thanks Jood your a smashing upside down lot it was for Sophie s brick wall the Mushroom Gatherer i have a book Sussex Transportation list i didn't realise how many were sent out there and this is just one area.and some for such trivial things Hard lives..Hard times

Greetings Lorraine from the sanest member on this thread. Don't listen to a word those naughty people have to say, as most of them should spend more time basketweaving! Dr Lew, MD, PhD

My grandma died of consumption in 1922 she was 36. My dad was about 4 and his youngest brother was only 2 It was a terrible disease. I can remember being inoculated against it when I was 15. Eventually al the sanitariums were closed down in England but were opened up again when the Pakistanis and Indians started to come in in the 50's.. Tb is still a killer in some third world countries. SuzyQ

I wondered where my dieting buddy was. You have been no help at all today. Just had to finish off a bag of cheese and onion chips. You got any pills to stop me from eating?LOL Your Idle working mans wife.

Naughty Girl, SuzyQ. For breakfast I had cereal and a glass of grapefruit juice and for lunch I had one muffin with some homemade celery and asparagus soup! Sorry, but I've been busy with a transcription for Jood and Laurie. Dr Lew x

Hi Lew, Your juicer working okay then???

Afternoon Wattlers. Jill, yes I agree the Phantom was better in Sydney than London. and yes we went to Leigh-on-Sea the last visit to UK and brought the cockles, whelks from the seafood shop there, we love the cockles but I am not a lover of the whelks but hubby does as well as jellies eels., we went to the end of Southend pier on the train. Yes love Rock Salmon was always a favourite of mine. Shazz hope your feeling better, if you have divertuticulitas(not sure on spelling) my mother had it a few years back it is a blockage of the pouches of the bowel so the doc said anyway eat more fibre is what they said lol, but it is very painful. Who asked about a birthday tomorrow I think it may be our Jood? Tassie. Glad your nan's surprise went well, you were worried about remembering all our names on the 12th I am sure most will get a name tag for the day????? Time to get the rabbit in before the sun goes down now don't laugh. Cheers Sandra in the Gong

Hi Sandra, I won't laugh about getting the rabbit in, I do the same for my chooks everyday. Jood, Happy birthday for tomorrow incase I don't get back. If it isn't tomorrow have a happy day anyway. Luv SuzyQ

Well, so many nice peeps to say hello to, Hi Nutter, early morning there for you, I often read your threads, sorry I can't help with your question only arrived here myself '74. thats 1974 you horrible lot I'm not that old, take care of yourself, you have mentioned that you have health probs. Lew, one of my past rellies was a basket weaver, do you think it's in the blood? Hi Lorraine, good name, my eldest girl shares the same name and I too have a sis in WA she lives near Freeo, she's also a member but still a bit new. I've been out to the wineries in Baldivis too,not a bad drop. A friends daughter aged 4yrs has just been diagnosed with TB, I think it is called the dorment type or non active, sorry can't quiet remember, but she still has to take some very strong medicine for the next nine months, her and the other twentyfour kiddies in her preschool, they all tested positive after being in contact with a teacher who was tested positive to active TB. bit of a worry eh? her Dad said the clinic where he had to take her was very crowded, this is in Brisbane. Luv Jillx

Thanks Suzy! .. Who said that other nasty word besides h*******k ------- d**t - and then who said something about cheese and onion tater chips and now who is craving for some :( Thought we was spost to help each other :( Oh well ... I'm off to see what I can find lol Jood

Your right Sandra, it's rock salmon not rock cod, silly me. Happy birthday to you Jood too, yes it is tomorrow I've just checked. big kiss Jillx

Thanks Linda and Joodle for letting me know what my illness was..I can now put in all the details and let the poor man rest in peace...I really feel for him and am sorry that nobody in the family ever knew anything about him,,I hope he is reading my tree and can see that I care about him.. OH wants his dinner so I had better go and get him a B and D to keep him going.. No Martoonies tonight.. perhaps tomorrow.. Back later.. Love Maryxxx

Joodles What is this about tomorrow being your birthday..Are you a horse...LOL it is 31/12 on my list.. Love Maryxxx

Mary - I didnt realise it had 31 December on the list or I would have told Suzy. Yes, it IS tomorrow - I share my birthday with the horses :( - and I get 'Old grey mare' cards too :(( Jood

Jood I am glad we cleared that one up..or you may have got Old grey mare wishes from us to...LOL was getting confused as I didnt want to include you with the horses... Have you got any plans for tomorrow.. Love maryxxx

Mary - just doing what I normally do on a Tuesday, going out with a neighbourhood centre group (NOT seniors) - in fact its 35 minutes drive away. .. They are going to the Cordeaux dam for a bbq - I dont even know where the dam is. .. Tuesday night I'm going to my normal class, Wednesday out to lunch with friends over from Perth, and my daughters place for dinner tomorrow night. .. Very low key. Jood

Evenin' all Shaz...yoo hoo ...how did you go at the Drs? Hi SuzyQ....I borrow my little nieces...3,5 & 7, when I want a kid fix but it's not the same as one of your own. When I was in hospital I was right next to maternity. Just seeing these grans with their new grandchildren was amazing. I guess it would be the ideal thing, being the base of a family history tree of your own. Another peep from WA .....the Wattle Club....from sea to shining sea. Just saw Ernie Dingo's ad for the census. it's very clever, someone has put a lot of thought into it. In 100 years our gt grandkids will have it easier to research than we do. Big ~~~~~~waves to everyone. love Trifley X

Happy Birthday Joodles! The old grey mare she aint wot she used ta be Aint wot she used ta be Aint wot she used ta be The old grey mare she aint wot she used ta be Many long years agooooooo. Have a great day. love Trifley X

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Dear Jude, Happy Birthday to You. Have a truly wonderful Day Jude. Loads of Love, R.B.xxx

Morning all - rise'n shine. .. Cold here in the blue mountains - was cold last night too, but its only 5.45am, might get warmer. Thanks Raggy & Trifley :) .. I got my 'old grey mare' wishes after all .. pmsl Shaz, hope you are ok and recovered from your sickness. Pam - where are you, Fluffy? .. Havent seen you for a few days. .. I can't recall you going away, or not feeling well, or having puter trubs. Lew, many many thanks for spending a whole day and probably half the night deciphering an old Will of Laurie's and my ancestor. . . It's very much appreciated. Had a sleepless night from 3am .. grrrrrrrrrrrr .. I hate that. .. Might hop back into bed and see if I can get at least another hours sleep. Laurie, hope you are ok too. .. Thinking of you. Cheers Jood
