We are posting at the same time again Teel. Don't have a clue about the star. I thought it was Venus which is usually in that area of our sky from dusk to about 9.00pm or thereabouts. However it may not be.

you may well be right...whatever, it sure is a beautiful sight.....I'd love to be able to do astonomy....the stars and planets really enthrall me and I know prcious little about them...I would like Heaven to be like that. All galaxies and moons and planets and wonderful colours....we are lucky here in Thurston....not too much ambient light to mess up the darkness of the sky. I feel quite priveledged! :stars: :stars: :wizard: :dance: :dancer:
Oh and by the way,:coach: :drill: NO MORE opening birthday pressies till the day :nono: but enjoy your bath full of smellies and bubbles tonight....just don't forget you have to get out at some point before you turn into a lobster....or a raisin....or a sultana! :lol3: :lol3:

Teel~ Wow what great swimming!! You are a wonder. I think Shad is right and you will conquer this within the water!!! Had a good laugh with linus' rubber ring! :rofl:
with the posts, always remember what ever goes into brackets before a word or letter must come off at the end. Loved the colors and smileys! :lol: Cannot wait to see how you progress! People will be coming from miles around just to see YOUR POSTS!

Linus~ Congrats on the loss! I will be happy with ONE pound! :lol: You and the dogs certainly walked your little feet of huh? Nice workout!! Good luck with the plan and please.....what are chinkies!? :rofl: I have been trying to guess but you didn't give enough to go on! :rofl:

Shad~ The DD and BF looked at the sky and told me not to bother. We were overcast and nothing much was showing. Ah the pains of living on the coast. Too much smog!!!!
Your description reminded me of days of olde when I was young and my brother and I would lie on the grass and show each other things in the sky. At night the stars and the dippers and in day the animals in the clouds. What a simpler time it was. NO STRESS! :rofl: Hope the weekend is progressing well!!! :lol:

Where have all the women gone? Long time passing......
I want to get some sorting finished. I think the clothes closet needs cleaning out. There are somethings that have too many "worn" spots and I keep them anyway. Need to toss them and take a bit more pride in what I wear. I have come a loooong way though. :rofl: Have a wonderful weekend and take care!!!

The letters can be upper or lower cas. Doesn't matter. In the last post you had a "/" in the beginning instead of just at the end. and you for got to put a "/" at the end for size. so it should have been:

[size=5 ][color=blue ] blah blah blah[/color ][/size ]

the Slashes( / ) are to end color, size, bold etc.

:cb: :cb: i know i was naughty thats why i was berating myself but gave oneself a sever talking too and am fine now just will not be going off plan i will lose three pound HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAD :hb: :hb: :bravo: :bravo: :gift: :gift: :gift: :dancer: :dancer: :grouphug: :grouphug: :high: :high: :queen: :queen: :queen: :encore: :encore: :encore: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :goodluck: :stars: :stars: :sunny: :sunny: :balloons: :balloons: :balloons: SORRY SHAD I JUST CANT LOOK AT ANY MORE SMILEYS HAVE A GREAT DAY and sending you lots of love and luck just for you

Happy Birthday Shad
 

Hello everyone, Shad I hope you have a great day and terrific year..... new adventures, new jobs, new people to meet and places to go await you!!!!
I have had a rough week, hopefully things will be better after next week for me. I am under alot of pressure and have been really putting up with this female stuff for toooo long.... I think my family is ready to operate on me themselves!!!! Scary thought.
I do hope everyone is well and I need to learn how to make pretties like Teel... someday when my mind can wrap around it I will tackle it. Thanks for being here ladies and I will post more later...I am actually outside getting some work done for a change...yah!
Linus thanks for the email for the bird guy I will see what he has to say about these little trouble makers.... hope you are welll. and glad everything turned out alright at court.
Have a great weekend all.
Thinking of you,
Renae

Have only just managed to get back onto the threads. Thank you all for the birthday wishes and smilies. I like cyber cakes, they have no calories.
Yes I had a wonderful day. I went out to breakfast with the little bro. There were no holds barred and I did not need to eat again (or even want to) until dinner. Breakfast was full on, the works etc. Bacon, scrambled eggs, tomatoes grilled with cheese, hash browns, toast, cereal, fruit, yoghurt and coffee. The lot. Then I went home to a plethora of overseas phone calls. First our own Melody called on the Saturday. I'm still trying to figure out if she got the days and times mixed up or she knew she was a day in front! Then on Sunday #1 DS and then our Teel, then my sister in NZ and finally Chris from Japan. Chris complained that she had been trying since 11oclock in the morning to get in. Then I had interstate phone calls, and finally some friends calling in, so I well spoilt. Only one I did not hear from is my big brother. No doubt he will ring sometime during the week full of apologies and it will be my fault because he could not get through on the phone. He will never admit that he may have forgotten!!! Men.

So what to do on my day off. It looks like another beautiful day coming up. I wonder when the temps will start falling to be winter type temps. It's still sunburn stuff out there. The night temps have fallen somewhat and that makes sleeping a much more pleasant pastime, but the days are still right up there at 30C. There's plenty to do and I will need to make a list and stick to it today to achieve the goals set for this weekend.

Roseblush it is good to have you back again. We were beginning to get a bit worried about you. Please get something done before it drives you over the edge - you could get as silly as we are?!!! and that's saying something.

Linus, 2lb is 2lb. Right now I would be delighted with 2oz. My weight hasn't moved (except up) in months.

Teel, keep up the swimming. One thing I do know is that swimming is so good for gentle and non pressure exercise. I used to enjoy aquarobics and wish that there was a pool near me that had classes.

Mel, hope the flooding has subsided in the foyer. One day someone will invent a robot maintenance man. Actually we have them now, but the new variety will be able to think and reason and actually act on thoughts.

Well I better go and get this list of mine up and running. Can't sit here all day. Have a good one everyone. Happy should be back soon and regaling us with tales of her vacation - or maybe she has won a fortune at Vegas and is on her way to tell us in person!
