dino from sth Gippsland

I was aware that Wombats aren't all "cute and cuddly." Appearances can be deceiving. Perhaps stupid is just single minded. Walk through the fence, pulling the posts down ... strong and stubborn. I know a lot of folks see them as destructive pests.

As usual, good advice. I seem to be having a very hard time making myself "get started." When I do, I know I'll have success.

I'm so glad I made the effort to meet you. It was well worth the 10 hours of driving it took to get there and back.

Dino - I am an ABC chick too. Fascinating show tonight....I'm a frustrated chucker ....have a houseful of junk that I just don't seem to get the time to sort and throw out. [I have a serious problem to be perfectly honest...]
I believe that to have a clear mind you need to have 'clear' [ie uncluttered] surroundings....
Let me know when you have found the solution! Ciao for now.

Dear Dino,
Thank you for that peaceful interlude. Just got back having to commit my mom to a nursing home. I suspect she had a stoke because the left half of her face drags lower than her right side and she is stumbling and can barely hold a spoon. But she is in a place where the personnel speak Japanese and she will have old friends who were committed before her.

dino, thank you for your kind words about Simon. May Merlin give you many more years of joy.

Thanks Dino for the Tea!

Thanks Dino for the you tube. i thought the gannet might have been blown down by our recent winds. After I commented I noticed the date of upload which was before these winds. I guess it was just his time to move on to another life.

I should have known, even Merlin looks peaceful in his saunter of the yard! Hope your day was great too!

Such a shame you can't meet us at Coolie...

Dino, I have been overwhelmed by the kindness shown to me for my birthday. It really does make your day to find well wishers from all over the world.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.

Dino, thanks for the good cheer at the end of what's been a crazy, hellish ride! Mercifully, all's turned out well, and I hope you and those you love will be the recipients of such miracles.

I sensed your frustration with your editor. Good for you to have found another. Good for you to have been able to switch. I hope this one works out much better for you.

No way !!!

Dear Dino,
Thank you for your support while I have been ill. I never expected such a response from this site, everyone’s concern and caring has overwhelmed me. I can only say that it is the genuine people here who make this a very unique place to share our hopes, dreams, ups and downs. So thank you for being there.
Broni

Thank you dino for your love and prayers, they were very much needed. The support from everyone on this wonderful site has been amazing and very much appreciated. I am overwhelmed.
Kate

You are very kind. My eldest daughter lives about 20 blocks from me, and although she works, Mervyns has a policy that allows her to come to me if I need her. The Mervyn's offices are about 25 blocks from me. Then there is a neighbor across the street who excepts me to come calling at least three days a week. If I don't she gets her keys and comes to me. I have dinner with at least one child every week, and swimming at least once a week. I had my stroke five years ago when my husband was ill, and of course now I have arthritides. Some days I can walk around, but if I overdue the walking or sitting than my doctor says up to but not more than 4 codine tablets.

The tea is lovely. Just the right strength. Come over for Earl Grey anytime.

Thanks for your love and support, I appreciate it :)

Hewwo dino, I'm sorry to say I just tagged you for today's tag hehe

Dino, I'm sorry to hear the sad news of the loss of your friend RIP Henk

Hi, dino! Hope you have recovered from babysitting without a nana nap! I'm so sorry to hear of the death of your friend. Sending warm thoughts to you and to the family.

PLEASE take care on those stairs Dino!
My best wishes to the new parents and the twins and hope all goes well from now on. After a start like that, things can only get easier.

Dino,
just caught up with the last couple of days, and read about your little "mishap".
Hope your feeling better.

Hi Dino. I think I've missed more than I thought lately! Death! Twins! Falling down stairs! Black eye/s! That's 3 mishaps & a double blessing (as long as you're not the mother!). I learned about multiple births the easy way - my sister had twins, then I did midwifery training, some nights I had 8-10 babies crying at once! But what about the rest??! I hope things start improving very quickly from now on!

Dino, Hope that the swelling and discoloration in your eye has gotten better, and the bumps, bruises and headaches are behind you, and good fortune will cover your travels for awhile.
for adding to my birthday memories with your wishes...The shower of good will made a good day better.

Hi Dino. Loved your wattle jigsaw!

Thanks for the Tim Winton You tube. I've read quite a few of his books & really enjoyed them, although a couple of them have hit the dark side! I've enjoyed bits of "Lockie Lennard on TV when I happen to be in the kitchen at the right time & have remembered it's on!

PS. My husband's on his way to Vancouver for work but had to go to China via Hongkong on the way. He had a valid visa but the Boarder guards weren't happy to let him in because he had 2 Nepal visits in his passport! They did let him go after a long wait. His partner (business) also had problems because he'd been to Dubai for work! Hopefully they're both winging their way to Vancouver now!

Thanks Dino. The world is such a sad place in many ways from we humans not understanding, or even trying to understand, each other!

Thank you for your good wishes. I will pass them on to my niece. She has been though a lot with losing her baby & then fighting this serious infection for 6 weeks so far. She'll be on IV antibiotics for two more weeks.

WOW, dino! SIXTH draft of your book? That's amazing! Do you have an editor - or doing it "in house" by yourself? Good luck! Prayers are with you.

Hi Dino. That was a great jigsaw today. I saw the dot & wondered what it was all the time I was doing the puzzle, till I got it into position & then realised it was a boat! It looks like a wonderful place to visit. I've added it to my list!

That sounds like a wonderful thing to do. I missed out on 2 day course that sounded similar earlier in the year, but I've got my eyes (& ears) out in case another comes along!

Hi Dino. It was good to see you posting yesterday. I'm sorry to hear that you had a kidney stone problem (they are very painful) but I'm happy for you that it was resolved. I'm also pleased to see that Ecie is making positive progress. Take care and stay smiling!

Heck, why not? ..... push!
