Sunny, did i tell you i once presented a spoon of vegemite to a Brazillian girl i shared a house with when i was living in London? This girl loved her chocolate, so of course, i convinced her this was a very special chocolate from Oz. Similar colour/texture, so she fell for it, even though her intuition i could see was telling her no. :H Her expression when she ate it was priceless. What a meany.......

Hi Cara and a huge welcome to you! Great to see you here. A couple of us are in Melbourne too.

Hiya Rags! Great to see your pics as usual and appreciate you sharing. You went to a restaraunt in 'Convict lake road'? Home away from home......:H

Good to see you Aspy.

Hi Ruby, Frog and all to follow.

Wishing everyone a safe, sober, and magical day. :h

That chocolate prank was very naughty Mr G. ..... But funny.

And likewise to Aspey.

Convict lake road... yep, reminiscent of the convict road outthe back of Kiama

Raggsy’s Embarrassing Iincident...
somewhere between spilling food down my front at a swish restaurant and breaking my leg....

So after we finished eating our(non curried) egg and lettuce sandwiches on the deck of Tuskers, I put on the skis and not till we’re half way up on the chairlift I notice they are not mine.

R: “Oh shit I’ve got someone else’s skis on”

Mr R: “We better ride the chairlift back down then as you could come out of the bindings if you try skiingon them”

R: “OK, but let’s make sure we signal the lifty at the top”

So we get to the top, we signal going around and I shout the problem..... but...... there’s an AUTO EMERGENCY STOP that is set off if you stay on the chair. So, the lift stops and Mr Rags and I are some 4 feet above the ground, with Lifty and assistant rushing out to get our skis off. We do a not very elegant bailout to the ground (without breaking anything) and are escorted to the operation room. With a whole chairlift full of people
A: staring at us,
B: wondering what the problem is:
C: also wondering WTF we didn’t get off the lift and
D: getting shitty because they are sitting there waiting for the lift to start up again.

Lifty: (Who I consequently find is working for Nat Parks in the summer on plant ID and numbers so I tell him about the recent outbreak of Myrtle Rust that somehow has got into OZ and will devastate huge tracts of our Eucs, Leptos and Syzygiums)

“We’re not allowed to let people go back down unless we have an incident approval yakkada yakkada yakkada”

R: “Oh, I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to cause any trouble...”

Lifty: “No trouble ma’am, I’ll call down to operations and get a snowmobile come and take you down.”

Meanwhile I tell Mr Rags to ski down and stay by my skis and see if there’s anyone looking for a pair of skis tied up with gaffer tape.

Me to Lifty: “Hmm, this is all a bit embarrassing, holding the lift up likje that. I’ll probably have to get a different coloured jacket and helmet so I won’t be recognised...”

Lifty: (serious expression) “ Oh, I don’t think you’ll need to do that ma’am...”
So here’s a lifties eye view of the chairlift......




So after 20 minutes the skidoo arrives and I am doubled back to OPERATIONS.... where there is a guy who has reported a missing pair of skis......
I apologise profusely to him, and he says he couldn’t figure out who would want a pair of beat up skis tied up with gaffer tape...

Meanwhile Mr Rags is chatting to an older couple at the ski rack who highly recommend the restaurant we’re going to tonight, and Skadi’s where we will go Thursday night.


And these signs a scattered round the ski field.... probably festering mammoths....

Happs, Bridge, what's the message on coffee? I must have missed it. I love my two cups inthe morning.


Hey Techie, enjoying the white stuff? Wonder if the singers were from the Met opera chorus on holiday?

OK I'm orf for a shower the din din.


Do I want to get this Vale book too? Or will I get the shits with the repetititititiveness of it?


My bantams used to have lay days from laying at times. (That was a joke Undies)

Rags, hilarious. I thought I was the only one who was a nut magnet!

Arvo all,

Was going to atttempt a multi-quote of Stirlian proportions but thought buggerit.

So ...

Sunny - The way you feel about Vegemite is the way I feel about grits. GACK!

Mr.G - naughty Vegemite trick. Asian guy once handed me some small, round, slightly purple things and told me they were Thai grapes. I flung three into the mouth and chomped. That's when I thought I'd die. They were some sort of chili I'd never seen before and hot as ... Bastard! (but funny)

Jo - how's the first day going on the Antabuse?

Missy - I bought a Thai Cooking day course for a mate once. It was at a place near Noosa and he absolutely loved it. Hope Mr.B gets inspired.

Saucy - My Bridget has totally gone off the lay but is otherwise looking healthy and happy so that's fine by me. And on supplements ... I take nothing because I'm already so drop-dead gorgeous and fit and healthy and bright. If the truth be known ... I buy the stuff, take it for a few days and then forget about it.

Raggsy - I reckon that woman chasing you with your $500 is a karma job. I don't know many people who are as generous as you are. The kindness came back.

Ruby - Great to see that you finally have some renters who are not dim-witted, irresponsible ingrates. Whenever I read of your troubles with some of them I'm extremely glad that I'm not a landlord.

Bridge - I remember the day well. It was 48C, windy as all hell and absolutely scary.

So now I can't remember if I've addressed everybody - so please accept a vigorous wave in your general direction.

TY, Tawny. Tis not a job I'd wish on anyone but my worst enemies, and when some misguided hopefuls ask for advice about buying property for rental I tell them NEVER to do it on credit with hopes of recouping their investment plus a profit. Plus I'm too soft hearted. AND i've been banned from confronting crazy male tenants alone, by Hubs and sheriffs in 3 counties. Can't help but want to confront them, but as Clint says 'A man's (woman's) got to learn their limitations'. The conditions I've seen that people can reduce a house to in a matter of months is monstrous. How the hell do you break a new marble sink surround, or crack a tub?? (Though she did weigh close to 300#'s)

Rubes - This really interests me. I think(?) I read that you have some 18(?) properties as rentals(?) Why not sell them all and save yourself the pain? You could retire gracefully and become a full time dulcimer maker.

Because I'm married to a stubborn man, sweetie, and he still thinks I'm 18.

Afternoon all

Mr G....you would never have caught me out with that trick...I can smell the nasty aroma of vegemite and marmite a mile off.

Just enjoying the beautiful mild weather here.

What would happen if you mixed Vegemite with Nutella? Anybody care to experiment?

Glad it's cooled down for you, Ella.

It would still be gross for me. But isn't that what that new taste vegemite was like, the one that they changed for the overseas market?

[tawnyfrog]

Underoos and Affiliates, February, 2012

I think they mixed it with cheese?

It's ok Ella ... we still luv ya! I don't know if it's alright to ask about the little tacker? How's his hand?

Bridge on giving dairy the flick, I've been cutting back too and it seems to have put a lid on the hayfever/sinus things I had happening.... Not sure if its connected but it seems to be working.


That's what I'm noticing, and a skin break out. I've cut em out before but got lazy.

Ok Undies, I've got a question...I know I could post it in holistics but being as I'm lazy and all...what supps is everyone taking if any at all? I've been sucking them up and tweaking lists a bit but base my current state of well being on this. So thought I'd ask.

Only Milk Thistle. See above re lazy.
