OMG - I'm feeling c**p with my cold and I get home from work and check my emails and Rebs has gone and left us - now I feel c******r -used to get heaps of laughs out of our Rebs - you are missed already. Take care. Tony - glad your Mum is on the mend - nice to know you're not too old to be given a clip around the ears - may your Mum have many more years of keeping you in line - lol Congrats to your daughter too Poor Barb - hope her car was completely 'Overhauled' for that price - usually on Overhaulin' tho they don't give you the bill. Trifly - of course you should have a kitten. How many power tools does OH have - you should have a pet for every tool he has - fairs fair.

Afternoon All Rebs as everyone else has said, you are going to be a big loss to not only this thread, but this site also. I'd love to keep in touch though email, you obvious have your reasons, but let us know if we can help or even just for a chat. My near twin with our birth dates, gonna miss ya :-(( Sue:-((

Hi All, just got home from Sydney in a wonderful mood having purchased some gorgeous furniture and I find that things on here have fallen apart! Rebs, me new mate, come on back. Hope you're okay. I, like WT, haven't been chatting on this site for long, but by god you have given me a great laugh!!! Who is going to control the Naughty Corner, I'm bloody sure I can't! lol. Anyway, I'm going to get your email from Lara and be in touch. Please contact me and we can still have a laugh in cyberspace. Don't feel like talking about the shopping now, so will log on later. Love to you all, Lew Lew xxx

Arvo Wattlers Rebs.........WHAT are we going to do without you???? :(((( I haven't known you on GR for very long but you made me very welcome and part of the gang. I thank you for that. My hopes too, that you will still attend the Brissie meet. Please email me if you want someone to bitch to. I'm gunna miss you. Tony...... can your mum adopt me? She sounds like the mum everyone should have. Hope she is on the improve. Big hugs to her. Also congrats to your daughter. You must be proud :o) Meany hubby is at work this arvo. I'll tell him, when he gets home, that an angel said I should have a kitten. I'm sure he will be impressed. Or at least he will be when I tell him he's not alowed to go to Bunnings any more ha ha ha. Big wave and hug to all our friendly lot. Rebs......if you're reading this......one for you too. 'Bye Sad Trifley :(

Hi all, Starting to get things sorted out a bit at this end, so I am feeling a bit more sociable. First, Tony, I do hope you mum gets well, she sounds like a wonderful woman, like my mum was. Sorry about Barb's car Bill. I am watching the triathalon whilst typing this, it's getting very exciting. I saw the girls this morning, gee are they fit. And girls, just imagine they can probably eat anything they want. They get those wonderful figures with excercise. All together now stretch, to the right, now to the left and lift that bum off your seat. LOL Rebs where are you? When I get your email addy I will write to you. I hope that you are still going to come to the Qld meet. I just darn't go into a pet shop, it's fatal. We got our cat about a year ago, she is lovely, we got her from the animal shelter. She's just a moggy, and the dog has been very good with her. They just ignore each other for the most part, but the dog lays across the doorway of the bedroom at night and won't let the cat in. That may change in winter when it gets cold. Another Gold. That was very exciting, poor peter he tried so hard, but bronze is no mean feat. Well done boys. Hope every one is okay, have a great week end Love SuzyQ

Afternoon Wattlers I purposefully didn't say 'good' afternoon because if Rebs has left, it is a dreadful afternoon. I know she has been really crapped off with the site since losing all the info on her tree - and of course the pc brigade has been p*ing her off big time. Rebs - I can imagine that you'd vote with your feet if you're really ticked off, but OMG we're gonna miss you girl. You were such a shining light and brought us all so much pleasure and so many laughs. Lots of hugs from me and take care our dear Rebs. Tony - glad your Mum is doing well. What a character she must be and obviously still ruling the roost in her late eighties. Good on her. My God - what did Barb have done to her car? What a slug!! The mechanic would be scooping me up off the floor if he gave me a bill like that!! Glad to hear Teena's good news - a positive career move. Don't feel much like chatting - too upset about Rebs. Might come back later. Anna

Hi Lara. Thanks for letting us know regarding Rebs. Can only assume its something personal ( at Home ? )....cant see Rebs removing herself from GR because of any other reason, as she is to strong Character minded to let anyone get her down ( if thats the case )..... and calls a spade a spade, ......plus she is a true blue ozzie sheila...:>)) I know Rebs was a bit pissed off with her 'Tree' on the site, and was having a few probs. Hope she returns soon. If your reading this Rebs....take care mate. Tony Oz ..:>))..xx

Morning Wattlers. Nice and sunny at the moment in Melb. Thanks everyone for your thoughts regarding my Mum. She is doing quite well thanks. I'm not a person who dwells on things, and also a beleiver of things happen for a reason. My Mum is near her 90s, and has lived a great life. Once she chased a Seventh-day Adventist from her front door with a broom.....hee hee. A real character, who has lived on her own since 1960 She is my role model, and a very self motivated woman. She grows her own vegies, does her own shopping,cleans and scrubs her house,and gets about on her own accord, Train ,Bus ,Tram,Taxi... She still spits on a hankie and wont hesitate to wipe your face.....lol.....It's not unusual for her to turn up in a taxi at any of my siblings homes and say ...O'k....whats for tea.! If you dont visit her......she will visit you, and always brings a bottle. There is not a negative bone in her body........and has never said a bad word about anyone. Her favourite saying is......'Wake up to yourself'.....MPA..( Mental positive attitude )..lol Had some good news from my eldest girl Teena. She has just received her T.A.B servers licence, and BINGO Licence, so a very happy girl. She works in a pub. Some sad news for Barb......she just received a bill for her car service., $1,800...so she is spittin chips...( might go make her a cuppa ) and wave the smoke away...thats coming outa her ears....lol Have a great weekend everyone. Tony Oz.....:>))

Morning Wattlers You lot were in fine form last night - loved the jokes PMSL You seem a lot cheerier - Tony - your Mum is still improving I hope Trifley get the abbysinnian - you wont be sorry.We have had Cleo (our abby) for 11years and she has got the best personality,(but a very strong personality) abbys do talk (not as vocal as siamese though) but does do sign language with her tail.She does do as she is told ( well most of the time and when she feels like it or its to her advantage) lol. They do usually pick one person as their personal property ,they are low maintenance as far as coat etc, but are high maintenance emotionally you can not ignore an abby or they make their presence felt, more so than the 9 or so other cats we have had over the years. She is a member of the family. As you can tell we love her to bits. Well enough raving about my cat. Have to work til 12.30 , then off to a patchwork class this arvo and then off to the cottage for the weekend to lay more floors. Catch you all next wednesday, Have a great weekend. Go Aussies oi oi oi! Judy 3 YV

Hi all, still away - Shaz - Im not coming home today, but tomorrow (Sunday) so will try and give you a ring along the way. Jude (aka Lady)

Tassie, Shazz and Tony PMSL Trifley tell your husband that you have to have a kitten, on the orders of an angel lol Shazz I'm doing an access to further education course which at the moment includes social history, culture and society, psychology and sociology. Nice to hear we're doing well at something lol *waves to every one* :-) Juliexx

Hi Wattlers Hi Tony.....Who's on first? Whats on second. Third base...............don't know ! Glad to see you are bright and cheerful. Give your mum plenty of hugs from me. Nearly came home with a new pet today. Went to the pet shop for fish tank supplies and saw the cutest little abyssinian kittens. Hubby says we can't have one because we already have a cat and a dog. Mean thing he is :((((( Wait 'till he wants another power tool :P) Waves and hugs to all the gang (our numbers are growing day by day!) Pharaoh Trifley Queen of the Nile

lol..Tassie and Shaz. Thanks for the laugh. Here's one of my favourites. AT THE OVAL OFFICE: George: Condi! Nice to see you. What's happening? Condi: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China. George: Great. Lay it on me. Condi: Hu is the new leader of China. George: That's what I want to know. Condi: That's what I'm telling you. George: That's what I'm asking you. Who is the new leader of China? Condi: Yes. George: I mean the fellow's name. Condi: Hu. George: The new leader of China. Condi: Hu. George: The Chinaman! Condi: Hu is leading China. George: Now what are you asking me for? Condi: I'm telling you, Hu is leading China. George: Well, I'm asking you. Who is leading China? Condi: That's the man's name. George: That's whose name? Condi: Yes. George: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader of China? Condi: Yes, sir. George: Yassir? Yassir Arafat is in China? I thought he was in the Middle East. Condi: That's correct. George: Then who is in China? Condi: Yes, sir. George: Yassir is in China? Condi: No, sir. George: Then who is? Condi: Yes, sir. George: Yassir? Condi: No, sir. George: Look, Condi. I need to know the name of the new leader of China. Get me the Secretary General of the U.N. on the phone. Condi: Kofi? George: No, thanks. Condi: You want Kofi? George: No. Condi: You don't want Kofi. George: No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk. And then get me the U.N. Condi: Yes, sir. George: Not Yassir! The guy at the U.N. Condi: Kofi? George: Milk! Will you please make the call? Condi: And call who? George: Who is the guy at the U.N? Condi: Hu is the guy in China. George: Will you stay out of China?! Condi: Yes, sir. George: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N. Condi: Kofi. George: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone. (Condi picks up the phone.) Condi: Rice, here. George: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we should send some to the guy in China. And the Middle East. Can you get Chinese food in the Middle East?

Hi Tony and Cat, Gawd this running back and forth from tele to comp is exhausting me, It was good wasnt it, thought it would give you a bit of a laugh Oh Tony hope you didnt spill guiness on the carpet mate or youll certainly be in the bad books Hi Julie, have a great day at college, what are you studying? Your guys are certainly doing well in the pool tonight Just another little one, TONY put your glass down this time before reading A boss walked into the office one morning not knowing that his zipper was down, and his fly wide open. His secretary walked up to him and said, 'Boss this morning when you left your house, did you close your garage door?' This was not a phrase that her boss understood, so he went into his offlice looking a bit puzzled. When he was about done with his paper work, he suddenly noticed that his zipper was not zipped up. He zipped up and remembering what his secretary had told him, finally understood. He then intentionally went out to ask for a cup of coffee from his secretary. When he reached her desk he said 'When you saw the garage door open, did you see my jaguar parked in there?' The secretary smiled for a moment and said 'No boss I didn't. All I saw was a Mini with 2 flat tyres'. he he Shaz
