My husband's love of drawing family trees has been going on for over 30 years and his branches have many twigs now and the trees have suckers shooting up everywhere....I find it quite frustrating. The person below me might have another sort of frustration.

I'll tell you about the cold wet day I had in the van at Taroom CP. I'd planned to leave that day, but the rain just didn't let up. So I decided to stay for my free fourth night and read and played around on my laptop. I was on power for a change so had my little fan heater going. I didn't even go to the toilet block, just used my trusty porta loo. That was mainly because my brolly and raincoat were in the car.
The next person ha different story all together..

'Twas quite a while back now, and had been sitting on the lake shores of Forster in NSW for 2 weeks.
Although twas June, twas wonderful, but the skies darkened as the time to pack up approached.
Needless to say, we packed up in pouring rain, everything soaked, including us! Stopped by the amenities block to change into dry clothes for the drive, but got soaked though again just getting back to the car!
OMG how the heavens had opened up!
Traffic crawled though rain and wind, and minor floods on the road!
Wet, cold and sick of it all, turned on the radio, and heard about an "east coast low" and that the Pasha Bulker had berthed itself on a Newcastle Beach.
Got home in the most dreadful weather, parked the car and van on the road outside home, and there it stayed for days -while we were dry and warm but without power for 3 days!
......................should have stayed in the van where we had gas .................

Raw prawns no, cooked prawns yes. Even better if someone else shells them!
Big fat banana prawns, not those teeny weeny ones. I made the mistake of buying frozen ones from the supermarket. Tasteless, but I couldn't waste them so I threw them in a stir fry with lots of veg, Tamari and fish sauce. That fixed them!

Not sure what you mean Jeff, so can't agree, besides politics will get you sent to the naughty corner.

Years ago my lovely wife and I were at a party at a friends place. as we were leaving she spotted a small box covered in mud and it was moving. being braver than me she opened the box and found a very muddy thing making kitten noises. She said we are taking this with us. at home she washed this thing and found a gorgeous ginger kitten. it became our very first pet together and made our lives a happier place. However the person below found their first pet in a different way

Not an animal with something odd in his mouth, but my son when he was a toddler. A c.ockroach! He was the sort of kid that would put anything in his mouth, but this was a doozy! And I had to put my finger in and scoop it out! EEEWWW!

yes i certainly do, im pretty sure its going to be a doozy too, i once woke to my daughter playing happily
in her room in her cot, but when i opened the door here she was playing away drawing on the walls just
above her cot with her own poo. Yes her own poo, it was a big clean up that day thats for sure.
both of my kids have done it, must be the artist coming out in them ,one is studying to be a drama
and art teacher
Im wondering what ones other children have done that is out of the ordinary.

I thought my two year old was having a nap on Mummy's bed (a waterbed on loan while friends away overseas). Went in to see and she was not asleep but had found a bright red lipstick and painted all up her leg, her arm and her mouth - sort of. All I could think of was 'not on the water bed or sheets please because they aren't mine!' Fortunately a good scrub cleaned up the mess.
Maybe that's why she became a Beauty Therapist....
Any other budding artists out there?
Rip and Rosie said
04:11 PM Aug 9, 2013
Never played in my own poo, or painted with lipstick, not that I remember, and I'm sure my sister would have reminded me ....... grrrrr!
She's like that, my sister. Older, thinks she's the boss, and always has done.
Sneaky too, like the time she brought home guinea pigs and rabbits, and told dad they were "presents" for her little sisters. We had to do all the work, but they were her's really, cause 3 months later she swapped them for a box of comics with a kid in her class.
She came home once with a kitten in her pocket. Told mum it had followed her home. Mum was smart though. She knew if the kitten's eyes were still closed it hadn't followed anyone anywhere ! Mum made her take it back before dad got home from work !
She got caught the time she came home with a horse though..............dad hit the roof and made her get her money back!
Her activities were severely curtailed after that one.
The person below has a story about a sister too.

Oh yes. I have an older sister like that too..although she didn't bring animals home, she was the boss. We shared aroom, and I was the messy one and she was, naturally, the tidy one. She'd draw an imaginary line down the middle of the room and say, 'keep your mess on your side'. And she'd dob on me if I was eating in bed. But she was great at making things like canoes,,even though I was the sink test dummy. She also used to enjoy winding me up, and then laughing at me which would make me even more cranky.
But we are really good friends, and she's always there for me.

I last saw them as toddlers...they're now in their forties!......it has added a whole new dimension to my life. I'd like to hear what people have come into the life of the person below me unexpectedly and changed it dramatically, in some way, short term or long term.

He is always there when you need him, can rely on him for sound advice, a great sense of humour, he makes retirement very special, we have lots of fun together. He is very quiet but still cute, I do all the talking and make all the noise and laugh loud. Just like the person below me who was always the noisy one when they were younger......

Not sure that I'd say I was the noisy one when younger. I know I could yell when I was school prefect. But our household soon made up for any lack of noise with 4 boys always having something to say or a fight going on. I only took notice if there was blood.
So did the person below me make a lot of noise or go quietly about their business?

afraid not, i might come across as cute and cuddly but get me on a persons wrong side
and oh boy look out, seems to have gotten worse as ive gotten older, however i was a naughty
girl when i was a teenager, wagged school that much got a school report with 45 days missing
out of 95, hated school so much.
Drank ,smoked the works but my mother never ever knew so she thinks i gave her no dramas apart from
always hooking up with bloody hippies lol ,cant take the hippy out of a hippy.
Mum says she swears there is something definetly wrong ,she knows i love the outback give me a dirt
road that never ends and i will take it, and yet all of my family ive in central coast and suburbia.
How i will never know, havent had to live like that in some time now and also once we hit the road
i know when we have to head back to the coast from those tiny towns out west of australia we are going to
hate every bit of it.
The person below me wasnt quiet either but may have loved school or perhaps not :)
