You learn something new every day. I never heard of 'afters'.

Perth has a Mediterranean Temperate Climate.

HI STELLA, yes, I am still up for a bit longer tonight. I must remember to go see your son's prom. Rola showed me a photo of her boys, and herself, made Mother's day. Very nice to have the children home for Mother's day, Stella, did not happen here, but all 3 girls phoned me.

Uh oh, now I'm in trouble. At the top of another page. MizT, I thought you would be here!

Happy Birthday to Cathy

Cyndi, what does sc stand for? Aah just thought must be southern carolina?

Rola, do you have to spray your lemon? I planted one in Jan & when I went to pick the 2 fruit it had last week I realised that it was covered in those little white flies. Sprayed it & now they're gone. My last one died (it was only a couple of years old) so keeping fingers crossed for this one. Mine is in the ground.

It is getting very late. The 'Late Show' with David Letterman is on. Does Australia get any of the late night show?

TWICE in a row Stella? You going for the new record are you?? Now that does require being here a LOT more than you have had time for lately hehehe. Catch me if you can!

Oh, sorry guys, I mustn't have refreshed before my posts so I am about 15 posts behind. I think I better concentrate on work for awhile now, so see you all later.
Happy Birthday Cathy

CYNDI: Dinner here is usually 6 - 6.30pm
MizT, did you get my dishwasher picture ?
STELLA. No University is not free. The boys has Govt Loans which they pay back thru the Tax System when they earn over $38,000.00 (??). and they live at home, Uni is about a 20 min drive, or almost a hour on the bus

With your climate, does that mean you never get any snow, Rola and Jenni?

see you later Jenni

Cyndi, Happy Happy to your DIL, seems May and June are busy birthday months.

ooh Jenni, just saw the lemon question. Yes Pest Oil.
So far no fruit flys. 'Touch Wood'

BYE JENNI, good to see you again!

Perth does not get snow. Where Jenni lives, she may get some. She is in Canberra, near the Snowy Mountains. and it does snow there, and wnter sking.
Yes we get the some of your late shows here - middle of the night.

State Universities in some states (like Georgia) let their own residents to go for free. The tuition at many universities has gotten so expensive it is very difficult to afford ($45,000)and the government doesn't really give out much of a loan ($2,500). Not like the gov't did when I went to college which almost covered the entire tuition.

I must leave also, sand man has come and eyes getting heavy. I have soo enjoyed the chats today, we really have covered the pages, with Ruby's help

LATER folks, G'Day to the southern hemisphere, nite nite for the northern.

By Jenni!

University By the time Robert finishes he will owe close to $30000 and the other boy will be about $25000.00 +

Just before I go (boy I'm hopeless) I'll answer Stella's question. We have much colder weather here than in Perth, I think, but it snows only about once every 10 years, and doesn't stay on the ground. Now, I'm off

Good night MizT! I too should go to bed. It is almost midnight! It was great chatting with you all!

Nite MizT....

Nite Stella

You're close, Jenni, SC is South Carolina. The 5 states I listed were: New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina then South Carolina. Below us is Georgia, then Florida, then a lot of water.
Yes, Alabama is 2 states over and my 'sister' lives there.
MisTricia; had the two major valves (mitral and aortic) replaced in open heart surgery last June.
Quite unexpected. No food restrictions, except low salt and only 1/2 gallon of fluids total.

Cyndi, I have heart Valve problems. I have appt. to see cardiologist on Thursday

Rola, it was so fast. I was found to have a murmur in March. I had an echocardiogram that was virtually normal, but beause my brother had died suddenly and because of how he died, the doctors did a Persantine stress test. (FYI: meds are injected IV to make the heart act as though you've been exercising, though you don't walk on treadmill). That was in April; the results were pretty bad. In May I saw the cardiovascular surgeon and my surgery was scheduled for 2 weeks later. It got bumped, and my surgery date was June 7. They thought they would replace the mitral valve and repair the aortic valve, but the aortic valve was beyone repair. So, a 3 hour surgery became a 5-6 hr surgery. 2 days later I had what appeared to be a seizure or a stroke and almost died (my husband swears they told him I had been dead). Now I'm doing okay.
Good luck on Thursday; please let me know what they say. I will be waiting to hear.
BTW: meant to mention that Cathy's twin sister, Corrine, is in town for a few days and for their birthday. It's fun to see them giggling and such
(and there's a story for another time).
girls

I think I'm going to pack it in for the night; might slip over and do the jigsaws first. Night all, enjoy the rest of your night/day.

Cyndi, I have what is called a Bicusspid Aortic Stenosis. The murmer was found, ooh 15 years ago, it is a mild condition, and also slight thickening of the blood vessel walls. Had the Echocardiogram done a couple of weeks ago. I see the Cardiologist every 5 years. Will let you know after my visit the outcome of the lastest tests..
Take it easy, and look after yourself, and let that lovely boy of yours do all the cooking!!
Happy Birthday to Corrine
Nite Cyndi ...

My boy has quite the sense of humor.

LOL Rena/Gumballthechewy

I had the most beautiful sunset today. It was raining a bit so it started with a gorgeous double rainbow which stayed while the clouds turned a beautiful dark orange/almost red. Couldn't have asked for a nicer way to end the day.
