Have also seen other people mention it and bumped into people in my travels who were staying over night there. I can't find the original story of Cindy's, must have been away when it was put up. Have scrolled throu...

I have a fisher and pykel freestanding fridge, probably getting on for 12-14 years of service with no problems in that time. What's happening is the fridge is "popping&...

Subject: Fw: rye bread Two old guys, one 80 and the other 87, were sitting on their usual park bench one morning. The 87 year old had just finished his morning jog and wasn't even short of breath. The 80 year old was amazed at his friend's stamina and asked him what he did to have so much energy. The 87 yea...

Then the Professor started the class by telling them: 'In medicine, it is necessary to have two important qualities a...

Recent events have shown me that these people are still around and always will be. I was reminded of a couple of lines from my "bible", Desiderata; "Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is" h...

Replying to Jules in Cooloola Cove thread.... Seems to be the story of my life unfortunately. But I'm doing okay. Just between you and me, I think Annie is enjoying caring for Mummy!
