    Underoos and Revered International Guests - December 2011

    I posted on another thread that I now want to come to Sydney for New Years. I checked on Expedia and it would cost a mere $3022.00 and only take 33 hours to get there, which means if I left tomorrow, I could get there at 8:10 a.m. the morning of the 31st. I love cats, too....

    I guess I will have to settle for the fireworks in my little town here in Alabama. sigh

    re the phone: I, too, have one of those. I haven't plumbed all the depths of its abilities, yet. My grandchildren have, though. When I give it to my 2 1/2 year old so he can play Angry Birds, I never know what my screen will end up with. My daughter says he adds "widgets" to my phone, whatever that means. Currently, when my phone comes on, I have the time and date with weather information. If it is raining, you hear a storm and windshield wipers turn on and wipe the screen. I will see Ollie soon and let him play on it again to see what else he can come up with for me.

    Oh Cinders, you just HAVE to send me the windscreen wiper app info! I don't have grandchildren so have to try to work it all out myself...
    That's a bloody expensive airplane ticket by the way!
    We're going to Nevada or California or somewhere near there in a few weeks. We leave in the morning and after 17 hours flying, we arrive about the same time as we left Sydney! But coming back is going to take us 3 days! For $6,186 .00 the 2 of us are flying to the US, have 10 days accomm at Mammoth Mountain and a 9 day ski pass!!!! We're going to have a ball there. It worked out about $1,000 cheaper than going to Japan. I'm stuck on level 15 of Angry Birds..

          I have skied mostly in Colorado (where we lived for 10 years) and Washington State. Mammoth looks beautiful, though. Sounds like a lot of fun. We used to ski almost every weekend when we lived in Colorado. I miss it.

          I'll ask Ollie how to get that widget. Since he isn't talking much yet, it may take a bit...

          With 5 grandchildren ranging from 13 to 1, I don't get to play Angry Birds on my phone much. They do, however, let me actually answer the phone when it rings...

          I am sure the cost of the tickets to Sydney were so high because it is last minute.

            Evening all, and in no particular order ....

            Beags - your food sounds fanbloodytastic, especially like the idea of prosciutto wrapped asparagus. Erm ... sorry about the cow shit; none of that here but I do seem to have a daily deposit of rabbit guts somewhere I'd rather not.

            Now - could you please explain something to me ... it seems that you, and quite a few folk on other threads, are doing this "no capitals, no paragraphs" thing. As I am the resident old fart, I need to understand why this is happening. Is it new internet/forum protocol? Please bear in mind that I don't know how to text or send SMSs OR know how to play Angry Birds. I need to know if caps and paras are passe ... so I can be cool like.

            Raggsy - to replace the one the nephew stuffed, I bought a little Fujifilm Finepix S4000 and throb it. It's a compact SLR with an inbuilt 30x zoom. (I also have a Canon EOS10D but I'm not smart enough to drive it properly. Also, when adding a 70-300mm lens, it gets bloody heavy so basically it's far too pro for my needs.)

            Cinders - I can't ski. I swim like a brick. And I'm shit at snooker.

              But have you counted the things you can do? You'll need ALL your fingers and toes...

              Carpet all but laid, sitting in schmoozle of bits of furniture and boxes eating smoked salmon on turkish bread and red capsicum and feta dip, and greens. Beats pizza and chicken nuggets...

                Must have before and after photos soon Happs.
                Room two deep cleaned .Tick. It's not for the feint of heart this super cleaning.
                If your 8 year old self met you, would they be proud?

                  It started for me Tawns when I first joined ....."talking" in lower case reflected that I wished to speak quietly, & considered myself to be a shadowy, undeserving, ......thing.

                  But now I am aiming for higher self- esteem, I will type to reflect that.
                  I do find the use of text language "u" instead of "you" etc etc to be rather annoying.
                  The paragraphs (or lack thereof) - reflection of my blathering on in a rambling fashion. I know that Ragsy said once it was difficult to read my novella posts like that.
                  Thus, I will make some changes.

                  And I can't ski or play snooker either. But I can swim enough to save myself if I had to.
                  As for Angry Birds, I have no idea what that is!

                    Nighters, Jonesey et al. I wish you dreams aplenty. Good ones.

                    Beags - sorry - x post but "Thanks!" I'm with Rags ... paras without spaces are really really hard to read for us old farts.

                    Don't love any of youse but I sure like you a lot.

                      Will oblige as soon as I can found where I packed the camera...

                      Lots of moving forward posts today....saw a couple from Ktab and Expatty in the Army thread that made me think YES...I get that...you too Beags....

                      I am really up for whatever this new year will bring...havent said much coz I dont - but tomorrow will be 90 days off the piss for me...and I want to say I've done it! and keep the will to drive me forward and then be quiet again if that makes sense...
