Hi Bwoooooth, I've been 'volunteered' to inform you of chatroom etiquette, you MUST count to ten before you leave!!!! Otherwise, bye messages are missed!

Hello there Elise, Great surprise to get your message about place names. My post in the forums was so long ago I had given up on it. It still bugs me though when people don't even include their country when signing up. I just think it shows a bit of consideration to let others know what part of the world you hail from.
Apart from that, a very belated welcome to Sudoku. You won't see me post much these days as I have turned into a puzzler and lurker only, but I still check it all out every day. Enjoy!

Thanks Elise, for your kind comments on my pics and your best wishes

Hi Elise, You stand out in any crowd...........

It's really simple, Elise, Your avitar is really bright, and the only "smilie" I've ever seen upside down. As one scans the page, it grabs your attention. Nothing more, nothing less. As a peace offering I brought you a bouquet of roses....

Gday Elise, I went to the recipe page and then remembered I had already seen your date scone recipe! What a ditz I am! OH and BTW, I also want to see your sausage roll recipe there next time I look!
Well done for getting that pic up so soon, was lovely to see it.

Hi everyone.
Help yourself to a freshly made sausage roll.
Splash on some sauce, grab a drink. Enjoy !!

Dear Elise
I was nominated by the other chatroom members to come and inform you of chatroom etiquette - we didn't get to say goodbye!! Don't forget to count to 10....

Thanks, Elise for the birthday wishes today. It is nice and sunny here in Dubbo. It mostly is sunny in winter but cold in the mornings.

Elise, I was great to chat with you. The photos of the beach remind me of the photo I used for one of our wine labels "Wine Glass Bay" it is a beautiful photo and I would love to see it someday. Thanks for the great chat!

ELISE, I certainly got to eat cake! So many lovely cyber cakes and 2 birthday cakes here at my house. Of course one of them was chocolate!

for visiting my page to wish me a Happy Birthday. All the wishes from all over the world sure did add to my wonderful 3 day celebration.

aww, ta Elise

Hi Viv,
It used to be that a new members name sat there until another new one joined, when that members name would then show. Trouble was that if a few joined within minutes or hours of one another and we members weren't online to see their names there for a fleeting second, they'd be lost in oblivion with no-one welcoming them. This is now much better, if names are going to stay up for at least 24 hours. Cya.

thank you for the birthday wishes, Elise, and hope you are living the good life in the land down under. hugs,

Hi Elsie how remiss of me for not visiting here before, I think your photos are great and also look yummy. Some for you

Hello Elise! I see I have not officially welcomed you. to your own page here in Sudokuland. Thanks for the message about Gem Scones. I come to check out your picture. They look very delicious! I will bake a batch when I find the recipe. Please come back sometime for a visit. My door is always open.

Oh that was fun! I am off to seek recipes! Thanks for sharing your pictures. I enjoyed looking at them!

hi Elise - many thanks for taking the time to wish me a happy birthday the other day - I had a lovely day!

Thank you for the welcome. please come back and visit!

Elise, I'm glad you signed on to the Wordsmith website, it is pretty unique and to read about the founder Anu is interesting as well, he is so fortunate to be making a living doing something that is so obviously enjoys! We should all be so lucky.

Take care,
Aimee :-)

Thanks for stopping by Elise.. it is always great to chat with you- looking forward to the next! :)

Elise, very many thanks for your birthday wishes. Unfortunately on photos - we were just too busy eating Anne''s delicious cooking and enjoying each other's company.

By the way, are you the cook of those delicious looking goodies on your flickr page?

Hi Elise. Just dropping in to say hello!

Hi Elsie, Just before you leave to head south we will be moving back north to our property at Salt Ash in the Port Stephens area and I also have a sister living at Kempsey so I know your Port very well. catch up soon

Hi Elise
Yes the year of my birth is 1956 so may the age of 52 be good for both of us. Thank you for the birthday wishes from down under and I hope one day to visit your wonderful country.

Viv, on your 'Update Details' page there is a blank section above the youtube and flickr sections, called 'HomePage Text. At the top of it are all the tools to change fonts, sizes, background colours, type centre etc. Once you are happy with the way it looks, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the 'Update Details' box and wait a tick. once it has all stabilized, go to your page and check it out.

Well done mate.
A lovely sentiment.

Hi Elise! I stopped by to see your photos & was so impressed! Are all those beautiful plants in your yard?? You seem to have lots of unique varieties, or maybe it's just that your photos show them in such a pretty way. That tea room looks very pretty too - yum! Wish we had more special places & occasions to eat sweets here in the U.S. Have a good day. Cheers!

Hello Elise. On one of my occasional browses through the comments pages, I noted that you are to have an arthroscopy to determine whether you should have a mini knee replacement. I went through that process a few years ago, for much the same reason - knee trouble was limiting my exercise and hence my fitness. The mini replacement has been very successful, but it did require patience through the rehab process. If you're conscientious about doing the exercises, you reap the rewards.

My other knee was more troublesome, so 18 months later I had the full replacement for that one. The mini was so much easier, so I'd recommend doing it sooner, rather than later, if it can mean avoiding the full replacement. Mind you, a few years down the track, both knees are great and it has enabled me to do so much that I couldn't do before.
Good luck!

Elise, my very best wishes for an uneventful surgery on Monday and a quick recovery. May you be up & about very soon!
May the angels watch over you & your doctors!

for the Lots for me to learn with all the new stuff.

Elise - how major is your knee surgery (not that there are any minor surgeries!)? When is it?
I am going in Wednesday for a knee replacement - unfortunately, mine is about a three-day stay.
I will be thinking about you - do all your rehab!!

Elise - best of luck with your knee procedure! I know you'll be glad you did it. A good friend of mine ignored her knee problem (refused to have the recommended arthroscopic surgery) and 3 years later had to have a full hip replacement on the opposite side since she'd been favoring her bad knee! Anyway, we're all pulling for you and know you'll come through with flying colors!!!

Elsie, thank you for the birthday wishes. That was very nice of you!

Elise - I will be thinking about you and your surgery. I hope they are able to arrive at a solution.
I am 57 - very young for a total replacement, but I had the cartilage removed 29 years ago. Then I played softball for 20 years with no cartilage - not smart, but I had a LOT of fun and enjoyment. I just knew that at some time I would need the knee done again.
My doctor is hopeful that with some new innovations for the "younger" patients I will be able to go at least 15 years.
I will try to remember to check with you and to keep you posted on my success.
I am going to be seeing my niece's husband for physical therapy, so I hope that is an extra incentive to really work on recovery.
I have been told great things about how I should feel after it is done.

hi elise tnx for welcoming me in sodukoland... im still trying to find out some beautiful things here...i dont kno wer to get a nice avatar...hope u can help me..tc

Hi Elise...glad you are home again. I'm sure hubby will look after you well and you will be up and about in no time. Will check back in on you later.
