Funny that ,but so true. Maybe it is not such a good idea to have compititons on a forum such as this.if just old members are only allowed to enter any compition that is run on here.

Yendorane you are welcome to post in the comp as far as I'm concerned. I note you've been a member for a while. It was a great shot.
I actually thought there had been only a few new posters this time. I think if a member has been around a while but hasn't posted very often they are still welcome to take part in the competition.

So I'm assuming you are talking about me,Everyone has to start somewhere but with comments like that no wonder people only have one post & are never seen

Yesterday i was going to introduce myself to this great forum starting with the easiest option (photo) first as i am not a fast typer
so after i posted the photo, i received a phone call from my brother in law saying that my mother had a accident in which one finger was severed & one beside
it mangled,so after talking with family for a while, she was driven to the Bundaberg hospital from Monto.On returning to the forum to finish my introduction i was not impressed on comments made, hence my short reply last night.A report from my sister at midnight last night is that she is going to surgery this morning to either amputate or try & save the one & repair the other. So not a good night.
I,m sorry if i offended anyone by entering the competition on my first post, but i have been reading some good info here in the last 12 months & the only reason i have for not posting anything is i have not traveled as yet so, i don't know enough to comment on anything as yet.Just received a up date she is going to loose the middle finger at the first knuckle.So not good for her bowling hand.I am going on my 1st trip next month to Rainbow beach for 5 days & then out to Dickabram bridge for a few days & then to Paradise Dam for a few more days before heading home to Boyne Island via a mate at Apple Tree creek.
Really sorry to hear about your mother's hand Yendorane. Hope she recovers quickly. She'll now have to adjust to her new circumstances.
I'm kind of a bit like you in that I don't want to post too much in case I'm seen as an un-travelled "know-it-all" so prefer to read through the posts and only comment on the ones I believe I have something to contribute too, but from what I've seen since joining the forum, the mob that congregates here are very decent people with common aims.
So read a while longer if you prefer and contribute when you feel like it. Your views and opinions will be welcomed. All the best for your trip to Rainbow Beach. I'll envy you as I sit near my heater and pretending that it's a nice, warm beach somewhere in this, our great land.

Yendorane
I am sure they are not talking about you Yenorane. I checked your profile and see you joined in August 2012. What gets people is new members who join after the start of the photo competition, win a prize and never seen again.
Welcome to the forum Yendorane..I,like you am untravelled..Over the easter period my wife Adele and myself travelled in the family car to Victoria for a planned getaway We called into Greens Lake and met some great people ,Billeeeeee,Jules47,Dougwe,Half Pint Patty,Solo Steve and others. We talked for a couple of hours, I feel that in this short time We made Friends..When you post on the forum the people that reply are good folk and encourage you to use the forum and all that it has to offer..When Adele and I start our travels as nomads the info we have from being part of this forum is all stored in the memory box. I can only hope you read and post here .Great people and really good info. Go for it Yendorane and don't be put off by anyone .You are a member and are entitled to use this forum the same as everyone else.that is weather you post pictures or whatever....Alan and Adele..
Keep posting Yendorane, you are most welcome. Sorry to hear about your mum's finger.
We are lizard lovers so love your avatar, we have a few "free range" lizards (shingle back skinks aka Tequila Rugosa (spelling) aka bobtails) living in our back yard and have become quite attached to them.
Hi Billeeeeeeeeee, When i wrote old OLD i was refering to the members who have been on here for a long time, you know not OLD in years OLD to this forum. I encourage more new members to join ,as it brings more new ideas to a forum such as this. I remember before this photo comp got started ,some said ( mentioned some thing regarding people only joining to post a pic and you never hear from them again or some thing to that effect ) and back then when i read it i thought well tough luck that's the way this foram is open to everyone.
So as for you being OLD Billeeee that will never happen to you.I recon you have more go in you than a 20 year old. And what's the old saying ..your only as old as you want to be...
How come Billeee got hold of that picture of me when I was a teenager? Yendorane. My best wishes for a quick recovery for your mother. As a old lawn bowler I wish her also a quick return onto the green. Hope she finds a good way to adapt to holding her bowl.
Welcome Yendorane, enjoy here and out in the playground.
Just a small word of warning though if I may, beware of wombat holes and don't get too dazzled by them and if you are lucky you might even see a Gypsy, however if you have been around for a while already it may be too late, I hope not.

And another WELCOME from me to Yendorane, Keep us posted on your little trip, and ask away with Any questions at all. there is a lot of experience on this forum
Oh ! and don't take Pauline 's post serious, as I am sure it was not directed at you personally, As pauline is a nice lady and not like that ?? some people just interpret things the wrong way
Talking about '' Interprep'' Dougwe issued a little warning to you about other members on here ??
Dougwe wrote !!

The 2 really great one are Wombat, and Bohemiangypsy the other one i will let you decipher Dougwe's cryptic clue ?? ] Dazzled ] Regards Dazren
Welcome Yendorane. Hope your mum comes out of this with a minimum of incapacity. People in your neck of the woods have had more than enough misfortune over recent months, more is not needed. I hope you enjoy Paradise Dam a lot more than I did (found it a total waste of the $16 / night for essentially no shade, no access to the water other than at the boat ramp & no fish or redclaw), Wuruna is a far better proposition in my opinion.

Dazren, you know that old saying self praise is no recommendation . You shouldn't scare the new members off or older members who love to read only which is what I have been doing lately lol.
In saying that Yendorane we really are a pretty decent bunch of people here on the forum. I am also very sorry to hear about your Mum's hand and hope she recovers soon to be back onto the green bowling like a professional with her other hand.
Just cos I'm out playing Dazren doesn't mean I'm not keeping an eye on you. I am on target to be in Inverell tomorrow night so look out then Dazren.
Yes Dazren Doug came and left this morning at about 8am. Both Ray and I thought Doug may have stayed another day or two due to weather but he took a chance and headed out today. It was great catching up again Doug and looking forward to seeing you on your return in a few months. Have fun in the playground with your family Doug.
Sorry to hear about your mum's finger.
