Hi Greg.
Thanks for stopping by. Here's hoping you were / are able to spend at least some of the Christmas holiday season with those "nearest and dearest".
Merry Christmas.

I seem to miss you on the page each day since you arrive after I leave most days. But....
for the greetings!
Wishing you a wonderful for 2012!

Greg, Thank you for stopping by with your Christmas and New year wishes. I hope you also had a great Christmas with your family and that you all have a great New Year. We currently have our daughter home with us for 2 weeks and have been busy making the most of the time with her.
I intend to have a fabulous 2012 and take full advantage of all that it brings my way :)

Thank you for the birthday greeting, Greg. It is heartwarming to receive happy wishes from all over the world. Happy New Year to you and your family!!!!

Hello Greg, thank you for the Christmas wishes and my I reciprocate. I've been off the air for a week as my modem/router carked it (died). I've just received my new router. Yah, I'm in touch with civilisation again!!

Thank you for the birthday greeting. I had a lovely day. All the best to you in the New Year.

Greg!
I wish you and your loved ones the very best in 2012!

From one CG to another, thanks for your best wishes. All the best for the Ottawa winter, and I hope the snow isn't too bad this year.

Thanks Greg for taking the time to send your best wishes to me for my birthday yesterday.
We have the opportunity to visit Canada next July, but as it is so far from Oz. we are weighing up whether or not. It would be with a group of 300 Airconditioning Dealers from Oz & NZ and would only be for a week, so feel it might be too much of a rushed trip for such a short time. Cheers Maureen

Thank you for the birthday wishes. It has been a lovely day. Out to lunch with my family in Sydney and a phone call from the rest of my family in Melbourne.
The special messages from all my friends on Sudoku are always a highlight of my day.

Thanks for the welcome Greg. I love beaver tail. First time I had it was in Ottawa. I live in Bancroft.

Greg, thanks for the avatar of my 'hero'! I'm in a speaking club and mentioned A.E.N and one of his quotations in MAD magazine. A senior member said that he was amazed where I sourced my material and that he won't forget my (valid) explanation of the quote.

I can't wait to quote Curley of Three Stooges fame.

Thanks Greg for my birthday wishes. Having a lovely day with lots of phone calls & pressies from family & friends, what more could I ask for

Greg - thank you for your birthday wishes on my page, e'card and the lovely present and helping to make my day special.

G'day Greg! Bet this is the last person you would have thought you would hear from.

I hope all is well with you and yours. All well here in North Queensland!

Hello Greg
I am fine thank you , i am so happy and thankful for the birthday wishes , and thanks for remembering me

Thanks for the birthday wishes Greg.

Hi Greg! Thanks for the birthday wishes AND especially the 'young lady' bit!!

Greg - your question made me laugh. That photo is taken from the Canadian side of Niagara Falls!

Maybe it's been too long since you were there?

The U.S. side has all sorts of sturdy barrier fences on its side. The Canadian side has very pretty curlicues and, just upstream from the Horseshoe Fall, a mere narrow thicket of an embankment with a sign that says "Danger: Beware of Changing Water Levels." What an understatement.

I wouldn't say the American side blocks any views. In fact, Goat Island gives you safe, immediate access to look very closely at the edge of the Falls and a bit upstream (great photos). You can even view from under/behind the Falls (though I haven't yet done that). The US just has very sturdy no-nonsense barriers everywhere to help keep crazies from going in or being pushed in.

No, the girls didn't do Maid of the Mist. I did it when I was young and got some great photos from below I kept for years. When the girls and I went, Starr was starting to crash from the 5 week adventure and didn't want to stand in lines.

We walked up and down both sides of the Falls, took lots of photo and stayed the night in Canada. I thought we'd do several things on that side before leaving then do several things en route (like the A.G. Bell homestead, etc.), but she just needed down time. And I had a knee brace and was barely up and walking after a bad knee injury, so I didn't want to go on the boat, so I didn't press the matter.

Are you familiar with Veggie Tales? I ask because there's a punchline in one episode that refers to Canada having the best side of the Falls.

Thanks for the push, Greg! Can you do something about making it my 30th b-day instead of page 30?

Thank you for the birthday wishes, too!

uhh ... that was the punchline.
Plot: Sinister forces are trying to involve Minnesota Cuke (an animated cucumber version of Indiana Jones) in an adventurous search for Samson's hairbrush.

Samson is a peach, because peaches have hair. The hairbrush is an inside joke originating in a wildly popular Silly Song "Oh, Where is My Hairbrush.' Sing it in public and you'll make all sorts of instant friends.

A duplicitous scallion claims that certain Canadian agents are trying to gain control of both sides of Niagara Falls. Hearing this, Minnesota Cuke is puzzled and remarks: "Why? They already have the best side of the Falls."

VeggieTales are mostly 1/2 hour video episodes which are suprisingly entertaining (most of them anyway). You can find them through Netflix or from most Sunday School departments.

'King George and the Ducky' is my absolute favorite. It's a parable based on the David and Bathsheba story. I'm amazed at the producers' finesse in turning a story of adultery and murder into a hilarious account of a king who wants to add a rubber ducky to his "Bath" collection, so sends its owner off to the "pie wars" where the hapless owner is hit by one too many pies in the face and goes a bit loopy. They paint the moral "Don't be Selfish."

Each Veggie Tales episode has a Silly Song. King George and the Ducky's Silly Song is one that encourages viewers to get a handle on their fantasy thought life when they see the Silly Song singer get sucked into a hilarious soap opera story.

Another episode worth watching is the first one produced. "Where is God When I'm S-scared" ends with a fantastically entertaining song ('Oh, no, what we gonna do?') about the plot against Daniel that ends up with him being thrown to the lions, though such a violent idea is only alluded to after a bunch of very silly ideas cleverly brainstormed and rhymed in the song.

Burl and I looked forward to new episodes as much as our kids did (well, almost). Their Silly Songs collections are great. If you have grandkids of a right age they're a great set to collect along with '3-2-1 Penguin' episodes.

Hi Greg, just stopped by to thank you for your Birthday Wishes. I did, indeed, have a happy day - it's lovely to have all the family gathered round (and not to have to cook!) ;)

for your birthday wishes, apart from working I'm having a pretty good day, yes Kath is looking after me

Thanks. I will forward your good wishes to Em. She's 7th in Aus in butterfly at present but has been pulling some p.b.'s lately so anything can happen. As long as the nerves don't get her but I guess that is what all those years of training are for. Thanks again Carol
