General Chat

Just discovered that two peeps have my daughter and her hubby on their tree!! And said daughter and hubby have no idea!! Will tell them tomorrow. Annoying thing is that I sent both tree owners an email when daughter's name first appeared in April and they didn't answer. Because they had an incorrect birthdate, I just thought it was coincidence that the name was the same but did some more sluthing today and realise it is not a coincidence. 2 entries with the same unusual first name and surname is a bit too much when her hubby's entire family also appear with the same tree owners!!! Grrrrrrrrrr I guess some people are just too innocent or just don't think! Talking about innocent - You know how I've told you I have slight dyslexia and also have trouble spelling. Weeellll. I once bought my John a shirt that had all the 'I'm a mountain man' words because we lived on a Mountain at the time. He did give me a funny look when I gave it to him and he never wore it!!! Eventually he told me WHY PMSL. Exit Vonny ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sleep well. :)

Oh Joodles just joshin me mate but you still naughty sometimes LOL Lew I know that about some things but this is more like an award or reward for service or something similar I would say have look anyway photos on GC now its oval shaped and it's 4cm at the longest point and its 3cm at the widest part it's silver and has a chain which I'm not sure is the original one and as I said today a couple little teeth marks on it Rebs don't take on what is not yours to worry about girl. just chill and ignore it mumsie has spoken ok lol. going now as on laptop as camera was connected to here and so did photos and better get off before it turns itself of again when I'm in the middle of something so goodnight all bye Lara

Thanks guys, I'm okay. It was nothing personal...well, not against me anyway. Now, this Brisvegas gig. Is there anyone coming who didn't get Suzy Q's email forwarded to them? I don't think I have a full email list, so please accept my apologies if I missed you. Anyway, sounds like a good idea to me. I'm happy to go with it if everyone else is in agreeance. Cheers, love Rebs x

Hi Lara, no problems. I love researching and, of course, when I retire (in 45 sleeps, if anyone has forgotten, lol) I will have even more time to play. So, don't forget, you lot, to just contact me and I'll do my best. Can't wait to see the photo, Lara. Don't forget, that a lot of importers/department stores put their names on things when they weren't really the makers. Lew Lew xxx

Hi Lew thanks a million girl did you just google which by the way I never thought off duh ,or do you have a rententive memory, of course with your job you would have one any way I suppose thanks so much for your trouble anyway you got it its great I wonder did he give these to all the workers or was it for a special occassion I will have to look up her birth date won't I Nellie that is if it was hers ? Maybe I can get in touch with the Quong Tart company or one of his descendants, after I wrote the query on here today I did go to BDM NSW and found Quong Tart and his birth marriage and death a, and also the birth of his son George Quong Tart , who sadly was born in 1903 the year of Quong's death I wonder if his death was caused directly by being assaulted like he was I will take a photo of this locket for you all to see not really pretty by any means it's maybe a fashion statement of the time 1886 the engraving is very nice on it and it would seem a lot of trouble to go to for every employee to have their initials so beautifully engraved on the front of it .Hi Heather how come your name has changed please I have you twice in my addie book already under Albury News and and Irving and now Preston ?? you know it doesn't take much to confuse this old girl mate.LOL have to go and have dinner been in the garden all afternoon ok maybe not all afternoon but couple of hrs anyway so maybe back this evening if not see you all tomorrow I'm waving Laurie can you see across here or is the long white cloud blocking the view Po Cari Cari Anna waltzs off singing very favourite song, love Lara

Thanks Miss Rebs, I'll be in anything, but a fight. So you just make the decision and I'll be there with bells on (and hubby!). Also, don't let the malicious people on this site get you down. They're just pathetic nobodies!!!! Yeah, Heather, research is my thing and that's also what I do in the office, researching cases, Acts, Titles, etc., so it's really just an extension of my FH research! Sorry Jood, it's the quick or the dead. Hey, I only got 45 sleeps, so I'll do as much (or as little) as I jolly well please, pmsl. heee heeee! Glad to hear you're okay, Tony, started to worry about ya! Don't work too hard. When we win Lotto on Saturday, you're going to have a lot of disappointed clients, lol. Nice to hear from you Mary. Glad that the new little vehicle is getting a good workout. Rug up for Orange, it's been quite chilly. Oh, come on, Laurie, I'd share the accolades with you. See you in the tribunal! Loves ya all Lew Lew xxx

Wattlers.....you have mail

Lara, your Quong Tart, among other things was a merchant. http://www(.)cityofsydney(.)nsw(.)gov(.)au/history/QuongTart/ Buggar, I had written a message twice and had to retype it, now I gotta do it again if I can remember what I said. I know Lara said I was naughty coz I had some new bits .............. why meeeeeeeeeeee, I just wanted to look pretty!!!! Shaz, the girls from Lithgow were Margaret, Faye & Maureen (I don’t know their surnames) – tho your Faye knows Margaret. ........... I’m available for lunch any time you want to meet up with Faye again. Awww Trifley .................. that Mountain/Mountin story is my line. I am not exactly one, well the first half anyway hahaha Lara, Heaven is a surname, and comes from Uley in Glos. UK Awwwwwww crikey .... Lew lew ...... what to do do with you you ...... you beat me to it ............ anyway Lara, the site is above. ................Just coz I was out all day and Lew Lew was in her office “supposedly” working pmsl Luv Jood

Gosh that's so interesting about Quong Tart, Lew you are fast becoming 'resident researcher on site', Lara your locket sounds sweet and now you know more about it's origins. Glad you had a nice mum's Day darl. You'll have to encourage Josh to try some new ideas in the kitchen, get out some recipe books and ask him to make something that's your favourite. Men that can cook are VERY POPULAR tell him !! lol Nice to hear an update on Jamie, he will have a long road in front of him and a good sense of humour will help greatly. My new name has to be 'fingerlickin' 'cos I just finished the last bit of Mother's Day Choc cake that one of the girls bought in yesterday for us all to finish up, it was delectable!! Laurie enjoy NZ esp those Marlborough Sound whites. Bit awful about that trawler going down from Bluff, lucky they got three alive and three bodies, the weather was treacherous. Hubby's ggfather & ggmother and four of their 8 babies are buried in Bluff Cemetery, it's a spectacular spot, but the weather!!!! Nice to hear from you Mary, you sound so busy..... Rebs just ignore the b.....ers life's too short LOL. Ok peeps, back to the fray....it's quite down the streeet today and I've got time to take down the Mother's Day display. Replacing it with Financial Year Diaries - yuk..... Have a nice evening all, fingerlickin' heather

(((((HUG))))) Rebs.

Arvo all, Anna, the free AVG anti-virus program is brilliant and updates continually. I'd never had any probs with it, but thought something that had a 'Name' would have to be better! Wrong! So I went back to AVG on my new computer and it's been great. Could someone who has Firefox please tell me where I find Notebook (or similar) cause I can't see it on the toolbar and I can't remember everyone's news! I see Shazz is joinging Jood in the naughty corner and Laurie can't keep away from the computer even if she is in the 'Land of the Long White Cloud' I've never, ever seen identical posting times before - must be a first I reckon. beautiful poem - made me cry. It is all worth it when those special moments come isn't it :) it's just hard remembering them sometimes!!!! ~~~~~~~~ to all, am out tonight Vonny

GRRRR !!! I have just about had a gutfull of this site and some of the nasty, vindictive little bast*rds on it. If I don't show my face for a while, don't panic. btw, susan had a good idea re; Bris meet. We'd really be in BrisVegas. Need ya glad rags though. I'll forward it on and you can all let me know what you think. cheers folk, and thanks for being such a happy little bunch of vegemites. Rebs x

The ref can say what she likes . . . . but at full time its the score that counts - Has taken me ages to read the last two pages inbetween unpacking. We are staying at the Hyatt Regency, on the 16th floor looking out over the harbour - and yes the giraffes are there . . . Ray had the hide to say I could cook him breaky seeing as how there is a big kitchen here . . . in his dreams, hotel kitchens are made to look at! The first thing you notice about New Zealand . . . is GREEN . . . lovely bright green . . . not something you see much of on home soil these days. Well, we have just been called to go out to dinner, so I best get off here and make myself boodiful. Glad you are OK Tony, and everyone else - stay well ! Using Rays lappy at the moment and its a silly Apple, nothing is in the right place. - but it is not as bad as the ones in Germany. Talk to you soon luv Laurie

all contributions will be gracefully received Ref

Thanks Ref, the usual bribe, oops sorry, errrm, gift is on its way to you. Lew Lew xxx :-))))))))))))

Definately a tie. The ref has spoken.

Hey, wait a minute, Laurie. Check out the posting times! I think we should share that one, lol. Lew x
