must be a topp?

So now I will test to see if this post goes through faster

Lets see, lost comments were something like, not all alcohol treats me equally. Champagne is the worse, a couple sips and OUCH. Vodka and Canadian probably the least, can have a drink or 2 usually, but not always, before headache. Now Scotch is what I cannot get past my lips, but was my mom's choice. Always think of her when someone mentions the Glenli. . . whatever.

Quite a bit faster than at the bottom of last page!!

How do you fare with wine? That is my drink of choice

YES, it is , and it seems to happen a lot like that! Very slow the last post or 2 on a page. Espically if more than one try to post at one time. Like the computer throws up it's little hands and says, WHERE AM I GOING TO PUT ALL THESE, no more room, no more room . . . .

Maybe we are getting close to needing an SA3???

I think wine is second worse. And I do not care for a dry wine, but i do like a fruity slightly sweet one. I had a friend once that bought me very expensive wines trying to find one I liked, and really got his feelings hurt I did not appreciate it. He was sort of a connoisseur of wine and fine foods.

Gath says we should not have problems with the size of the site, since he changed hhis provider.

On friday site time, the problem was with him rebooting the site so often, uploading the new toys!

I am not sure why we on SA seem to have more problems than others do.

But SA1 was having a lot of problems, which is why we created a new page. I think it's been a lot better since - we are yet to see if we experience the same problems with this one.

I would hate to have a problem with wine - I enjoy it soo much

Did you get lost?? Am I talking to myself? Oh well, 5 makes a CP

Australia has a lot of wine country doesn't it? I remember a pen pal telling me about going visiting wine country but forget where it is. I also saw a very good documentary about a train across Australia, lovely show, and they visited wine country also.

On Friday I was totally kicked out, couldn't get back in, & when I did get back in I had to log back on (plus I had to log back on when I opened the site on this computer today). I later realised that it was Gath's new innovations

Did you lose me? I'm still here!!
Yes, Australia is big on making (& drinking wine). We have wine growing regions all over the country. There are good ones in WA, SA, Vic, NSW, & Tas. They are all abbreviations for our states. If you don't know what they are, I will explain

Now it seems I've lost you!

OH about logging back in . . I was all confused when I had to log in and things did not LOOK right. I did not have my page, and i had a new look on the screen, what with advertisements and no smilies!! I thought I had been put in the naughty room for sure.

I had accidently signed back into the FIRST non supporting member page. When I signed up for supporting membership, I managed to create a NEW page, since I was told I could not use MizTricia . . So i used MizTricia1. My old page is still there and I got into that one, forgot to sign in with the 1 on my name :>)

Hi Jenni, MizT. Just stopping by for a moment.

Hi Becky, great to see you.
MizT that must have been so scary.

No need to explaine WA, SA, Vic, NSW, & Tas. West Australia, South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Tassmania. . . I learned that part.

I hate it when I've become logged out without knowing it, then type a comment & then notice that it says log in to use smilies, or whatever

THEN I figured out my mistake and laughed at myself heheheh. Signed back in again after putting the 1 in my name and all was right in my world!! I think I even did one post somewhere from the old one!!

I AM impressed MizT. And I forgot to mention that the ACT has good wines too. Do you know the ACT??

I seem to stay logged in, till Gath does something major to the site.

HI BECKY, did not see you come in! how are you this fine rainy morning??

NO do not know ACT, something new to learn today, so please tell.

MizT, not raining here. Our little pocket hasn't had anything other than a piddle for about 2 weeks.

Jenni, our local grocery used to carry a lot of Australian wines. They've since closed. I think I still have a few.

BECKY, come back, come back, that was a vdV fly through you did!!

Just back to our previous conversation, briefly, wine making is a HUGE industry here, & we really pride ourselves on our wine. We make a lot of wine for our population & it IS good. I know you have good wine in California, but is it a big industry elsewhere?

Ohio has wineries, but have yet to find one that I like.

MizT, maybe I should change my avatar to The Shadow.

ACT = Australian Capital Territory. It is a very small spot within NSW that contains Canberra. We are governed separately, & a totally separate entity. Australia has 6 states & 2 territories.

What's the Shadow, Becky?

The Shadow was a crime fighter on a radio program from the 1940's I think. A couple of movies were made based on the character. The tag line was 'Only The Shadow knows.'

Ahhhh, ACT is a bit like our Washington, DC . . . that is District of Columbia, a seperate entity where our capitol is located. Not in any state. It has long ago outgrown it's boundries, and spills into the neighboring states.

Yes definitely like Washington DC, but probably with some differences too!!
Becky, is there a movie about The Shadow

We actually have a winnery local, but they are not huge, the main industry seems to be CA. They have the mediteranian climate for the grapes. the areas where they get winter freezes are making ICE WINE, and i read it is potent stuff and pricey. they take the frozen grapes and somehow make a much stronger brew, I think they first did that when an very early freeze got the entire grape crop and someone said, well, why not give frozen grapes a try.

BECKY, it looks like we may get an all day rain, now that would help with the drought some and get grass back to green for the ranchers and fill thier catch onds and wet weather streams. Might be too late for many crops though.

The movies were made years ago. I've caught a couple of TMC (Turner Movie Channel). I'll check what they're titles are. You might be able to rent them.

MizT, I think you just hit the nail on the head - USA is probably too cold to make wine, except for a few areas. We have a much better climate here in Oz.
I shall send you some of our rain. We have suffered for so long now with the drought, but we are having a really wet winter that it looks like it could be the end of the drought. Fingers crossed
