Yeah I have fruit trees but they aren’t doing so well. THe summer really knocked them around. My roses are all in bloom at the moment though! It’s winter!
Yeah, late fall early winter there…Looks like highs this week around 60F, lows around 45F (16C / 7C). I’ve heard they have snow in the mtns near Melbourne already and are predicting a good ski season up there. I think only about an hour drive from Bitsy’s.
With all due respect to you guys, you do realize that by using this as a chat area, you effectively alienate all of Jonco’s readers who wants to check the comments for funny jokes or cool links, right? No one is gonna sift thru 200 comments to look for the occasional joke or link.
Good morning Sander. I see you got outta bed on the right side. There’s other posts that they can read and we did this last week and Jonco didn’t get mad at us. I think he likes us.
What happened when you got bite by the widow, infi? Did it swell all up? I got bit once when I was a kid in Kamloops and they had to rush me to the hosp. for a shot. Not fatal to an adult but can make a small person sick.
Yuck, they say if you got bit 2 or 3 times, like going into the nest (web) that it could kill ya but one wouldn’t. Used to see huge nests of them in Kaml. Haven’t seen any this far north though.
Talk to you later, DJ. Ya, that kinda put a damper on here. I guess I should go do my woman’s stuff too infi. I’ll be back on later, if we’re allowed that is. Take care all and chat to you later.
This is a somewhat lengthy story from a Ferrol Sams book I’m reading, I got a good chuckle out of it.
An old farmer arose at daybreak, dressed for the field and went to the kitchen for his breakfast. There was no food on the table, no lights, and the stove was cold. He knocked on the door to his housekeeper’s room to ask explanation and was answered with the plaintive wail, “I ain’t cooked you no breakfast cause I’m too sick. I ain’t even able to get out of bed. I need for you to go get me the doctor out here and that just as quick as you can.”
The farmer sighed but went dutifully back to his room and changed from overalls into his suit in preparation for going to town. When he went outside, he found that his old car wouldn’t crank.. He sighed, and by dint of much straining managed to roll it over a rise and down a little hill to jump-start it. He chugged on until he had to ford a creek, where he got off-center a little and the car was stuck.
He sighed, but patiently removed his shoes, rolled up his pants legs and managed with a prise-pole to free his car and go on his way. A quarter mile down the road he had a flat tire. He folded his coat with a sigh, changed the tire and put on the spare. A mile later he had another flat tire. He gripped the steering wheel and thought for a while. Then he removed the flat and with patience began rolling it before him toward town.
A half-mile from the car, the sky suddenly darkened. Rain began falling so heavily that the old man could barely see. Within seconds, he was soaking wet. He felt his shoes filling with water, he felt his only suit shrinking on his frame. He let the tire fall to the ground before him, raised his clenched fists to the heavens and howled at the top of his voice, “My God! Why do all these things have to happen to me?”
With that the rain stopped, the clouds parted, and a deep voice boomed down, “I don’t know Melrose; there’s just something about you that chaps my ass!”
TWO HUNDRED THIRTY NINE COMMENTS in a just few hours? What are you running here, Infi? And very few pink squares.
I can’t comment that much in a year. Sorry I missed out; Sunday morning you know…well…I was sleeping and working or working and sleeping, however you want to look at it.
Just got back from a family wedding in Savannah, GA. Found my B&P shirt. Now I’m somebody! I guess that I can’t go through all of the comments ’cause Sander said that people wouldn’t do that. WTF. Screw him. I’m gonna read every one.

It’s weird to think that it’s winter over there. Do you have a temp thingy on Aussieland DJ. Wonder how cold, cold is there?
I dont think it ever gets really cold there
Yeah…lemme check…
No I don’t think so either. I don’t think they ever get more than a skiff of snow and very unusual at that.

Great story, Gary. I haven’t read any Ferrol Sams but I guess it’s time to take a look.
Who needs to procrastinate for a few minutes? I do, that’s who. Can’t face thinking about going back to work tomorrow yet.
So I’m wasting time on youtube games: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t-8xiEFRCY
Ahh, the sweet bliss of not having to think. Right Infi?
Rev, if you read nothing else by him, read “Run with the horsemen”
I read 4-5 books a week, so I can probably fit him in pretty quickly. I’ll definitely give it a look.

ALN – Thanks, man. I’ve already gone through the pages. Bits does not look like I expected. I had a scrawny blond in mind. Whoa, missed it.
DAYUM – I never realized that DJ was a woman. Who’s the ugly guy next to you DJ?
