RE: Americans are seriously valuable.

I had no idea that men were such a brilliant investment.

RE: A GUIDE TO THE INTERNET

Hello there Z

RE: A GUIDE TO THE INTERNET

Hello Lou Lou
We didn't have internet when I was using them... we were still using 'fiche' in libraries.

Hello Simmo,

We have both been busy. Work is always insane for me. But Mike is concentrating on moving to Australia. It's just less than two weeks to go now .

RE: A GUIDE TO THE INTERNET

I spent hours losing myself in Funk and Wagnall's. However, my father who encouraged my use of them, also purchased another three sets of Encyclopedia's. Not the misspent youth of most individuals, but I do remember those books fondly.

Blogging is interesting... There were sites once for avid writers, but they have changed the format of sites now and the blogosphere isn't what it used to be.

Garage sales were invented so you could see how the other half live, weren't they?

RE: Thought for the Day... What would you say?

At this rate, Bajanshay...soon we will all be sipping Pina Coladas on a tropical island together.

RE: Thought for the Day... What would you say?

Hello again,

I can tell you that Mike is going to be in Australia in 44 days, 21 hours, 39 minutes and 21 seconds. So I will say things are going very well. How is everything with you and Cat?

RE: Thought for the Day... What would you say?

Live like there's no tomorrow.


Hello Bajanshay

RE: Thank you!

My visits to the blogs are quite erratic, Bajanshay. I am sorry to hear about your Grandmother and surgery AND very glad to hear you are okay.

RE: Undertaker....

I have friends that are morticians... and I have found the conversations to be interesting and ... even somewhat amusing at times.

RE: Your image is photo-shopped .

I can think of the advantages of men being short sighted.

RE: Location Location Location.

Therein lies the real tragedy, Z. We have homelessness in every city in the world and poverty... and yet, there are Seasonal Homes out there that rarely get used, but they are considered fashionable.

RE: Location Location Location.

...or perhaps it's simply a new reality.

I didn't notice an abundance of For Sale signs when I was in London...so someone is affording those exorbitant prices.

RE: Why Marry An Older Man?

...but secretly, when the lights were low... you fantasized about doing those moves.

Now there's a photo that would be worth seeing. Do you still have one of you in the wedding suit?

RE: Why Marry An Older Man?

Z... Did you have a little bit of Travolta in you at the reception afterwards too?

RE: Location Location Location.

Our major cities are quite expensive... Beach front locations in those cities are incredibly high too. Sydney and Perth are the most expensive cities to live in. As you head out to the country regions it gets cheaper.

Then of course, in a country town... it depends on the area of town and that will often reflect the price. The chant by real estate agents 'location, location, location' will often be used to encourage people to renovate an older home on a 'good' street. :)

I smiled when I realised where Knightsbridge was. My Grandmother lived opposite Hyde Park.

RE: Why Marry An Older Man?

I am wondering if Z is going to wear white when he gets married?

RE: More Important for some?

I completely agree, Luke... people lose them online. The best thing you can do is to find balance in your life.

RE: More Important for some?

Affirmation of self perhaps? They are often lonely. That includes those who wish to deny that.

It's nice to be able to get online and interact with someone... you don't need to brush your hair, dress to impress... You can simply interact.

Drinkies

Angelpepper... Red wine? White? Or something else?

Ed1941 Thank you, Ed. I had finished a long shift yesterday and really needed to relax...so it was well after 11pm when I opened the wine.

Lukeon Gosh, Luke... I thought you could do that completely sober.

Drinkies

Calliopesgirl Is honey wine called mead? I went to a place in South Australia that makes that... it was gorgeous when it's served warm.


Welela When I think of Bjørn , I think of Abba... It's all in the name. Until now, I have never heard of anyone called Bjørn other than one of that band. So I am curious if it's a more common name in your country.

I hope you enjoyed your walk.

Mimi1973 You MAY indeed. I have no idea why, but people seem to give me bottles of Baileys EVERY Christmas and it's not my choice of drink. Soooo drink up.

Drinkies

Years ago, before it was a popular import here... it was quite expensive, I bought several bottles of it... and used it in cooking. mmmmm... it was quite divine.

Drinkies

That would be tragic. You have the Solera Sherry locally and it would be utterly devastating if you couldn't contribute to the local economy.

Drinkies

What is common for one, Iotaoo... may not be for another.

Drinkies

@June

Oh come now, Z... It's good to start your day with fruit.

Drinkies

Welela... I haven't had a drink since Christmas. So it's not something I normally do ... well not as much as when I was younger and more sociable. But I do enjoy a red wine. And I am blessed with the fact that I don't get hangovers as a rule either.

Thank you for stopping by. Do you have plans for the weekend?

Drinkies

I always think of a 'joint' as a location. As in 'your place'.

Drinkies

Ahhh so you don't run with the rule to shake, not stir.

I have most things on hand... I have this insane rule that one should have whatever they want on hand when it comes to drinkies.

Drinkies

Cyanide isn't something I stock. Although...if I lived life on the edge, it might be part of my accessories.

Perhaps you just need a whine... er... wine...

Drinkies

I have plenty on stock, Iotaoo ...so what's your poison?

Drinkies

How very cliché!
