GR photos still the same - Lauries and Annas are fine, Tony & Judes just the first picture only. Jood

Didja hear about our Sophie? ..... Her Dad says she is a fighter .... despite being in an induced coma, she actually tried to get out of bed last night!!!!!!!!!!!! .... Unbelievable! Jood

Evening Wattlers I've just been trying to add some photos of my family artifact (wooden arm) to GC photo page ..........with no luck! I can get on to the site but can't see any photos even my own. I hope they fix the glitch soon, I like help identifying my...uummm....eerrr...aahhh...what ever it is. Had a worrying call from one of my nieces tonight. Her 2 year old son has had 2 strange episodes. He is ok one minute then for no apparent reason he just drops to the ground unconscious. Stops breathing and becomes rigid with his arms curled and his back arched. They live in the middle of no where in Qld. and have seen a local Dr who is baffled. I've suggested she get a referral to a paediatrician in Brisbane. We just have to wait now and see what happens. It could be something simple but when you live more than 1 hour from medical help you can't be too careful. Have a nice evening everyone. I'll check back later regarding the photo page. ~~waves from me on the Barge love Trifley

Hi Trifley I can't see photos or add photos either. Yet Joodles says she can. Don't know what is going on. I think your neice should get her little one to a paediatrician as soon as possible. That is very worrying. Sounds as if he should have an E.E.G. pronto. Poor buggers are still down the mine - let's keep our fingers crossed for tomorrow. Goodnight all XX Anna PS Where is that Rebs?? She'll probably turn up for the next big number!

Hi Anna My thoughts exactly about the EEG. I have epilepsy (well controled) and it sounds like that to me. At least Sarah (niece) is the type not to buckle under. She will tell them what she wants in no uncertain terms. She has been know to refer to a spade as a f*****g spade! Prayers to the gods for the miners and little Sophie. Trifley

I dont know why I can see the pics and no-one else can. :-( I can see 6 of Annas 1 of 12 of Tonys 1 of 4 of Judes and on page 4, 7 of 7 of Lauries Jood

Oooo, spooky. Joodles can see things the rest of us can't. I'm jealous (walks off pouting) Trifley

oooOOOOOoooooohhh ..... ghosties pmsl Jood

What a handy condition to have when doing genealogy. Can you see dead people too? Trifley

I'm giggling my head off here Trifley ......... of course I cant 'see' anything ...... !!!! Jood

Bugger.....I was going to ask you to look a few people up for me heee heee Trifley PS going to bed now. Graemes home tomorrow so I've got gardening to supervise. Night all

I'd love to look anything up for you (the normal way) pmsl ................. just ask me Jood

HOORAY, THEY'RE OUT Miners in hands of Rescuers at 4.50am this morning Got To Go News Break Its 5.00 am here Shaz

Hoorray Horray they are out and well. Oh you beat me to it shazz, but I dont care it is just such great news. Thanks everyone for your prayers and positive thoughts. I have also put message on general board to let everyone else know. Cheers Sue

Gee they have made it to the surface. Yes they not only walked out but spent time walking about with family, friends and workers. They are now in ambos to be taken to Launceston Hospital. No words of thanks would be enough for the brave workers who never gave up to get them out. Also a quiet thought for Larry Knights family who laost their son, husband and father.

Gidday Sue - Ive been bawling my eyes out the last 15 minutes when I turned the telly on ........... great news ........... unbelievable. I am amazed they could walk out on their own, which was what they wanted to do ....... what an emotional time. Jood

Morning Joods Likewise it is a very emotional time, They just showed them going past all the crowd with the doors open. One of the news reporters mentioned about the people of Launceston gathering at the hospital to see them arrive, I am not going, I think their will be that many you would not see them. Plus David is up getting ready for work and Dannielle will be up in about half and hour to get ready for school, but I will be glued to the TV. Cheers Sue

What absolutely fantastic news about our Tassie Miners. What amazingly brave guys they've been. Try to image being entombed for that long, not really knowing if you are going to actually make it out! Sends shivers down my spine. Now let's all concentrate our positive thoughts on that little princess Sophie. Light frost in Mudgee this morning. It has burnt off pretty quickly, although the dog's water bowl is still frozen, bbrrrrr. What time do you and Jood think you'll be in Mudgee tomorrow, Laurie. Perhaps we had better make it a luncheon appointment, rather than just coffee (more time for chatting, lol). Hope everybody has a fantastic day. Lew Lew xxx

Lew I agree totally now that things have worked out here. We can now focus all our attention and prayers and positive thoughts to Sophie and hopefully it will be just as good a result. Cheers Sue

Brilliant news guys I think it is wonderful that they are out in time and well enough to attend Larry's funeral - it would have been so distressing for them to have missed it. Positive thoughts for all involved - the 2 guys, their families and the rescuers. A wonderful outcome. Anna
