Bean from Melbourne Vic AU

Hi Bean - sounds good, though I am going out for a bit today. We have friends coming for dinner tomorrow and was going to pick up some extra groceries after work yesterday, but didn't finish on time. I'll have to do it today; hubby's going for acupuncture anyway, so I'll hitch a ride in. Will log on when I get back and maybe we'll speak then :)

Hi Bean

Thanks for dropping by. I was hoping to get to the "Ian and Anne" do last week but just couldn't make it........it would have been nice to meet a couple of new people (yourself and Kate that is).. I have met Ian and Anne before when they were in Anglesea and so was I for the weekend. It will be easier to catch up with yourself and Kate at another stage as we're alwasys looking for reasons to meet up and have dinner....lol........keep smiling

Hello Bean - a very long overdue visit to your page and an even looooooonger thank you for your birthday wishes of aeons ago. It seems that with family staying I never seem to spend much time on the computer and feel very guilty for taking so long to do the rounds.
Did you attend the get together in Melbourne?

Hi Bean, just saw your comment on Vicki's photo of the get together, you do know I lived in Melbourne till 11 years ago. Take care, talk soon.

Hi Bean!

Thanks for your welcoming comments. A junebug is a beetle commonly found flying around porch lights and such on June evenings. There are two kinds I'm familiar with: shiny, reddish-brown ones about the size of an index finger nail, and the larger 10-lined june beetle about the size of the last section of an index finger. Since I have an affinity for insects and spiders, especially beetles (Beatles, too, for that matter), the moniker fits. I look forward to posting more often. I've been visiting & doing the puzzles for 6 months or so, enjoying every one and everyone. I usually get time during the afternoons, when my baby naps, but don't always have much to say... Or, maybe I have too much to say. dunno! It was kind of surprising to learn that there aren't any raccoons in Australia. Everyone knows about Kangaroos and Koalas being special to your continent, but nobody (here) ever talks about what ISN'T there. I have to laugh at myself and my own ignorance. Anyway, thanks for introducing yourself - it's great to meet new people!

Have a great day,
Jenn

Hi Bean,

I've put up two photos of june bugs on my flickr account. If you go to my sudoku page and click the link to view my photo on flickr, you'll see the june bugs there, too. Just for your viewing pleasure!

Hi Bean, Thank you so much for the welcome to Sudokuland. I have actually enjoyed this site for many years, and have left an occasional comment. I wanted to leave a comment on the jigsaw page last night, and couldn't do it without signing up for my own page. I love reading what people from all over the world have to say. Again, thank you for the welcome. This site is the best!!! Margot

SThank you for the nice visit yesterday. One of my fav shirts has the saying: Not all who wander are lost. My oldest son is a "wander" also with the name of Scott. He is my world traveller, not afraid to take off and explore. I'm off to have a tire checked (slow leak) and then out with my bowling friends for a nice lunch. I hope you enjoy your day also. Mary - who also has not mastered the art of putting pictures on this board, but I see you have an item - nice

Hi Bean, it was nice meeting you the other evening. I really don't mind if Angie gives you my email address and I will contact her in the morning to let her know it is OK.
I don't know if you know but I received a really nice message from Lachie. Please tell him that I wish him well in his chosen path.

Congratulations Bean for getting the photos up.
I am soooo proud of you.

Thanks for the good wishes Bean. My house-moving seemed to take forever. There is a 3-month settlement on my old place so I had plenty of time to do it in. I managed to do most of it myself except for the furniture and pot plants, but I swear this is the Last Time.

Thanks for visiting my Honey Bunny and grandchildren, Bean! It was all lots of fun!

Hi Bean,

Thanks for the birthday wishes! And thanks for visiting again - I look forward to "too much cake". Have a lovely day.

Jenn

Hi Bean, we had a fab. time, the weather was great. Since we have been home all we've had is grey showerly days but I suppose winter is Knocking on the door. Great riddles. Cheers

Hi, Bean! somehow I missed your arrival, too. But now welcome! and thanks for the birthday greetings. Each one is a bonus.

Bean, thanks for the Birthday Wishes.
Neil

Hey Bean, just had a look a your pics, they are fun! Hope you and yours are well.
Take care!

Thanks Bean for the welcome! Sorry to be so long getting back - life gets awful busy sometimes. I really enjoyed the video. It seems ages ago now, but it was wonderful!

Hia Bean
Thanks for your message on my page, used to be addicted to this chat room stuff so made myself give up, but now almost six month later, thought I would give it a go, gosh how quickly one goes back to bad habits, but ok I will admit I'm a chat roomaholic, there I said it my name is Liz and I'm a chatroomaholic, and loving every bit of getting to know you all ahain hope to catch up soon Liz

Bean thanks for dropping by, glad it made you giggle. It is getting quite difficult to find a joke that passes the resident censors!!!!

Hi Bean, I wanted to thank you personally for your birthday greeting, cake and flowers. I did just join, but I have enjoyed this site for many moons. It is the best!!! Actually, my birthday isn't until November 4th. I'm not sure where Gath came up with April 10th, but it certainly made for a very special day. I'm hoping I don't have to return your cake and flowers. I'll save them, and bring them out again in November. Thank you for your special wishes. Sudoku forever, Margot

Bean, to my very good friend, thanks is not enough. May I add, you made Hannah's day!
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 have visited with such greetings.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.

There is an email on its way to answer your query.
