a little warmth for our DUGs.
Suzy - your story was the BOMB! like mariana said, one for the journals!

so easy to TOPP when you're alone in the house!

Heidi - Been loving reading about your time and success at the fair - and I know tomorrow is another big day with the Betas coming home and the concert...but I have a little treat for you...drum roll please...

This hunks for you!

Rikki Tikki Tavi! I love him!

Thanks to Rolanda's and my own research, I see that we have very different passionfruits. Australia's and California's are good to eat. Ours are weeds, as I said. However, they will all lower blood pressure, and one variety (out of 50 or so) will kill cancer if you pour the juice directly on the cells.

I'm not going out back and eat one, after all.

VICI, you are leaving me to my own devices to go and safely return from the land of passion fruit? Oh well, I did say mine are immediately adjacent to a mown area, so kitties can go and protect me.

It is beddy bye for me, after watching the Olympic swim tonight, my my how exciting! But what was with 2 hours of the women's marathon? that was like watching paint dry!

VICI, it is Sunday the 17th 11:42 am In Perth, and the Birthday party is in an hour. Thinking of you Rolanda, but will be dreaming of your luncheon feast as you serve it!

Robert!

Oh MzT! I didn't even think about you encountering snakes - YIKES - so I'm sending you a mongoose, a tough terrior, a devil dog and my watch cat!
I'd just love to see a snake try and get you!
Hope you stayed awake long enough to get your protectors!

Cooee, anybody here?

Gail - I picked this smilie up for you!

Fully excellent Vici

It was too hot to go outside today and work in the yard (where I should have been) - so I stayed in and went crazy on smilies again.

I also picked up some "confused about the time" to appease MzT who recognizes that I just don't get the time changes very well! (but it's still waiting for Gath)

hehe We are addicted, go on, admit it!
Did you see the new page I put up on the Forum page about the smilies? It was asking Gath if there could be a third option for them, rather than just keep or delete. Ones like the party cruise ones I want to keep but don't use on a daily basis, so I want to put them somewhere for safe-keeping.
Did you know that if you delete a smilie from your collection, they disappear from all the posts you have used them?

i haven't caught up on the pages yet, came straight here to see if anyone was on...anything I need to know about?

Oh NO! I deleted some smilies today to make room. I kept them in my smilie folder so I could re-submit them if we have another party. I like your idea, Gail - I sure hope Gath can work it out.
I could go back to our cruise and find a bunch of holes!

Rola was feeling a bit better and her party for Robert should start anytime now.
Ruby and MzT have weed type passion fruit and need to fend off snakes to pick them.
Heidi will be at the fair tomorrow to pick up her Betas and see a concert.

What ones did you delete, let me go and see if they are still there?

Rena went to the beach again today.
Suzy is cold and may be coming down with one, too...catching it from hubby, I think.
Mariana's hubby came home for the weekend.
Suzy posted a funny story on the easy page.

I deleted my pink shoes and my boa, plus a bunch of bling

So, is that why I haven't seen Mariana around? hehe

They are still there, maybe Gath has been able to fix that issue.

Yeah, Mariana is spending time with hubby...don't know how much "hehehe" she'll get with the kids around though

And I re-read the posts quickly and maybe I was wrong about Suzy getting a cold...
...also, Heidi bought a cute rabbit named Eric at the fair.

well, I'm getting pretty tired - too much time on the pooter. you're right, Gail, I'm addicted!!
wishing you all a wonderful Sunday... that's me - flat out tired!

Is it CynB with the cold?

nite-nite from California.
Hugs!

Vici.

Glad I caught you, fun to chat.

Yeah - CynB has the cold - you gals were probably talking about that yesterday and I caught up on it in my earlier reading...
Thanks Gail!

I've tuckered out again, so going to bed. Then tomorrow, back to the Fair to pick up rooster and rabbit, and enjoy the concert. The Bettas don't come home for another week.

I saw Murphy's breeder at the Fair today. We had quite a long talk, the outcome is that I'll be buying a girlfriend for Murphy. She hasn't been born yet, the breeder is expecting a whole bunch of her females to give birth any day. I'll get first pick of the females crias!

Gail, it is CynB who has a cold, and it's no wonder after the way she gave that speech.

Don't you have flu shots in Oz? I love flu shots. (Honestly.)

Heidi, that bunny you bought is probably as big as a cria.
BTW, I love your horse. I'm a sucker for feathering. He's magnificent. How tall will he turn out to be? What are your plans for him?

MizT., cats are an excellent defense against snakes. I used to have a calico that liked to deposit her freshly killed rattlers and copperheads on the back step. Some say that cats do this to show you that they are on the job. I think she got a kick out of my reaction to their being there. Nonetheless, since she passed away, Ruby (SC) has become much snakier, but what can you do about politics?

Haven't made it to bed yet. (BAD Heidi!)

Ruby, I got Challenger to train him to drive. I have a couple of nice carriages to use. The Gypsy Vanners are heavy, but small. Challenger will only grow to 14.2 or 14.3.

I love it, Ruby.

Good afternoon all - I see some of you are on line. It was me who thought I was in for the flu yesterday, I felt awful yesterday afternoon but today - right as rain (double dosed Vitamin C). No such story for hubby who is crook as a chook today and sitting in front of the How To Channel - my absolute least favourite. Been on Easy a bit this afternoon - interesting today and definitely more life there than there has been lately.

everybody...or what is left of it. Got nothing left to say... have been blabbing over on easy! Hope to catch some of you later in chat.... we need to make an appointed time to drop in if we are free that would be good for the lot of us.

CynB....no wonder you got sick... prancing around in a chicken suit all day and THEN going skinny dipping.... you really should not have let me lead you astray!!!

VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO YOU ALL.
If I was having a dinner party I would expect ALL of you to turn up. NO excuse would be acceptable. I cannot thionk of anything nicer than meeting the lot of you.

ooh...forgotten I had submitted a new avatar
