Hi all, well I am home also. It rained, drizelled and misted all day .... it didnt really affect me tho I did have to change my mind what to wear. It was the VIEW Clubs 40th birthday bash .. no golf, I doubt anyone in their right mind would have wanted to play golf there today, in fact someone said the ducks were out on the lawns. Yeah .... duck weather! Lol, I cant say I enjoyed myself that much - I had a lot of work to do, head down, bum up ... even missed friends passing through before they sat down. Tho I wasn't the only busy one. ... We were all glad when it was over. ...... Lots of compliments on a lovely day they tell me. Some of the committee had been busy for months, we two were busy wrapping gifts one day, and doing raffles today ..... and THAT was busy. $5, $10's and gold coins flowing around in all directions. I spoke to some ladies from Lithgow Lew, and they said (like you) that it had been raining there, so I was sure you'd get some .... :-(( So I was pretty glad to get home after a long day .. Lols have a great time in NZ, lucky devil. .. Friend said this today about NZ's weather raining,,hailing,,blowing,,snowing,,sunshining ... so take your pick! Poor Rebs, what a time you had. .. Sounds just like me sometimes trying to fix something I know nothing about. Aggggggh ... I'm so tired, and cold, roll on bedtime. Jood

Ripper Rita!! Dear little man was able to fix the computer on site - so here I am. Go Rebs - 'I am woman hear me roar!' You have done very well. Glad you got back safely Lew - pity about the rain, or lack thereof. Now here's a conundrum for you all. Last night I posted message number 3550. When I logged onto the site now, it is message number 3534. Someone has been through and removed their posts from the site. I tested my theory by removing one of my own posts and the total number of messages dropped back by 1. So - who is it who wishes to remove themselves from the site? Had a quick look but have not yet found the answer - any one else able to throw any light on the subject? Be back later XX Anna

lol Anna. Not sure about the roaring, but there was certainly lots of cursing happening in my search for a screwdriver. Why is it so hard??? If I want band-aides or savlon, I look in the first aid box. Why? because it's the logical place to look. If I need a safety pin, needle and thread, etc, I look in the sewing box. again...logical. So why in the bloody hell are there never any screw drivers or hammers in the bloody tool box ??? Oh yeah, yesterday when I needed a hammer. In the took box? No !!!!!! It was on the floor under the old laundry tubs in the garage. I kicked when I was looking for something else. And they wonder why we're short tempered? Grrrr!!!! And I noticed the number thingy. Can't have been one of the regulars, because the number of posts didn't drop too dramatically. Bit hard to tell, because there are so many posts on here you can no longer read all of them. Only 20 pages from either direction. The pages in the middle have been lost to cyber space.

Hi Rebs, I know just how you feel. Neville has be in and out of my office all day doing things and borrowing things. Has he put them away?? No they are all scattered all oer the place. I recently did some copying for him and filled it all away neatly, in alphbetical order. Now he can't find what he is looking for and I get the blame. He has taken everything out of the folders, spred them around, the wind has blow in and every thing is mesed up. I give up. As long as I keep my stuff in it's place. I never move any thing of nevilles any more. I going to make dinner Steak and chips. Night nite SuzyQ

Hi all, I noticed the number thing too. Gee, I hope you haven't offended anyone, or maybe someone who said hello occasionally just decided to clean up their 'View Yours' files. Haven't heard from Tony for a while, hope it weren't him!! Sooo pleased for you, Anna. I hate being without my computer. Hope the housecall wasn't too expensive. Do you know how much money you made today, Jood? I know how much charity work tires you. A friend and I organised a team for Relay for Life (NSW Cancer Council) and it is very draining having to ask local businesses to donate things for raffles, etc. Anyway, the Mudgee RfL raised over $120,000 and that's pretty incredible for a town with a population of only just 8,500. Well it looks like our lounge and dining room suites will be arriving this week, so photos will be posted shortly. Love to you all Lew Lew xxx

Yaaayyy! It's raining! Well misty, sprinkling water from the sky. That'd be bloody right........I watered the pots and small gardens yesterday and this arvo it rains! Some is better than none I suppose. Hi Rebs..I keep a hammer, couple of screw drivers and pliers in the bottom of the pantry and there is help to pay if anyone moves them and doesn't put them back. I've been waiting since last Wednesday for Graeme to put in a plaster screw for me to hang one of my clocks on. The drill, bits, screw and clock have been sitting on the dinning room table all this time. It would be quicker if I did it myself (and I COULD!). You don't need a man to fix your stero anymore than I need one to hang my clock. If you waited for a man to fix it you would be waiting several birthdays! You did a good job <<<clap>>> Hi Anna....yippee...got your puta fixed! Was it anything awful? About the number of posts....could the phantom nudger have been at work? Think it might be time for some more caffein....be back later. 'Bye Trifley

Now why didn't I think of that Trifley ??? Put together my own personal tool box, out of harms way. The only thing I don't attempt around here is changing a light bulb. We have 11 ft ceilings and as a short-shit I simply can't reach. The ladder is stored on beams below the garage roof, so I can't reach that either. Could be the reason why we have been using only lamps in the bedroom for the last 6 months. lol !!!

Hi everyone :-) Anyone want a kitten???? Little brat (I called him worse last night trust me) got out last night and wouldn't come back in. We haven't let him out before as he's still a bit too little and our last kitten got run over when she got out so we've been playing it safe. I tried catching him but the little brat slipped under the fence at the side of the garden where I couldn't follow him. I sat up for an extra hour before going to bed with the front door open but he still didn't come in. Taz one of our others who usually stays out did so I locked up and went to bed. Then he decided he wanted to go out again an hour later, I let him out and Salem was in the garden, I ended up chasing him into the back garden and finally managed to catch him. This morning he's avoiding me..........shows he has some brains lol. As a result I'm tired this morning as I still had to be up. Vonny that is so annoying about the jigsaw. I haven't done a jigsaw in ages but did have it happen to me once, luckily though I did find it eventually lol. Trifley spring here at the moment is wet :-(. It was lovely until Friday then has rained all over the weekend and today. Rebs well done for fixing the stereo :-) It's me that has to do things in this house to. Anna glad you've got the puter fixed. As for the posts I noticed that too this morning. Joodles hope you're not feeling too tired from that charity work. Hope you all have a good day :-) *waves to all* Juliexx

I'm not a handy man at all, my ex took care of everything .. carpentry, electrical, painting, mechanical, bricklaying, you name it, so consequently short of changing a light bulb, thats all I can do. .. Though I must admit I was taught how to change a tyre, put water in the battery, years ago when I was younger. .. I could even rewire one of those thingies in the thingie box out the front of the house pmsl So, I am a helpless female :-(( Lew, we only have about 70 in the club, but today, with guests, we had 144. .. Normally they only buy about $2 worth of tickets, but today we had a few 10's, several 5's as well ........ We had got to $400 (appropriate for our 40th birthday), but a few late comers (and there are always a few) took it up to about $420. .. It all goes to the Smith family. .. We had lots of prizes, and for the lucky door prize, we gave away 40, all wrapped in red paper with white ribbon (ruby anniversary). .. Most were donated, I must confess some do the rounds. Like, I will win a small raffle on my Tuesday outing, and donate it back to View Club .. a lot of people do that !! Rayyyyyyyyyyy for the rain Trifley!!! .. (I know its an evil necessity, and I know it always rains just after you've spent hours watering) Jood

Poor Jules I can relate to that if you recall my daughters chickens who got out (earlier message). .. S'matter of fact, I had to go up to said daughters place today to see if the said chickens had plenty to eat. ,, And what happens .. gate was open from their cage, and they all came running and clucking into the cage to see what I had for them, could have easily locked them up this time!!!!!!!!!!! Little buggars! I bet that kitten was watching you in the dark somewhere! Jood

Me again! A bus stops and 2 Italian men get on. <wonder if one was Lew's Ito> ? ..They sit down and engage in an animated conversation. ..The lady sitting next to them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of them say the following: 'Emma come first. .. Den I come. .. Den two asses come together. .. I come once-a-more. ..Two asses, they come together again. I come again and pee twice. ..Then I come one lasta time.' 'You foul-mouthed sex obsessed swine,' retorted the lady indignantly. .. 'In this country, we don't speak aloud in public places about our sex lives' 'Hey, coola down lady,' said the man. ,, 'Who talkin' abouta sex? ... I'm a justa tellin' my frienda how to spell 'Mississippi'.' I'VE GOT $20 BUCKS THAT SAYS YOU'RE GONNA READ THIS AGAIN Jood *runs off to naughty room*

Joodlebella....thatsa so funny eh ?!!! Anyona froma Melbourne canna 'preciata thatta one. pmls!!!

Vonny......a message from Graeme.....he says there is a big wharehouse that holds ALL the missing pieces from jig saw puzzles. It's at the south pole! Smart a**e isn't he? This rain has dropped the temperature a bit so I might have to find a nice warming drink. Someone mentioned coffee made on Baileys mmmmmmmmmmm...be back later. Trifley

Don't worry, Vonny. As you know, I'm going to the South Pole in January. What is it you require my dear? I'd be more that happy to visit the place Graeme has suggested. Yes, you're right Trifley, smart a**e!!!! So there! Lew Lew xxx
