While visiting the Darwin Casino I was installing my obligatory...

Newspaper article.....It is important for men to remember that, as women grow older, it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as when they were younger.

The seventh would pay $7. The eighth woul...

No Crowhursting is a phrase I hadnt heard before. It means dont send home cheerful false messages when things are going horribly wrong.

G'day all. My DH and I are in the process of readying our too large house for sale, after which we may be homeless for a short time while we search for the "perfect" escape vehicle.
