haha righteo
i got back from a big walk and about to have a big feed.

hail...was cool..

oh..look at those WEEDS!! I must do some spring gardening...
MB..I thought living in NZ you'd see so much snow, you'd be glad never to see it again!!! I mjst have missed where exactly you like..I'm guessing the north north northen bit???

wow that almost looks like snow ay.
i live in northland, way in the northern tip of the north island. Its almost tropical weather in the summer gets to 30-32C but in the winter it can get as cold as 10C.
it only really snows in the south island and on the top of mt ruapehu in the north island and sometimes on desert road.
ive never been to the south island. the furtherst south ive been is probably Tauranga/Mt Maunganui.
does it not snow at all in aussie?
whats do-deca-hedron meant to mean?

woww that's cool! don't worry about the weeds you should see my backyard :(


wasn't there a tornado somewhere in australia last week? I think I saw something about it on the news.

tornadoes...freaky! the worst thing ive ever been in is an earthquake a couple of months ago, it was mini but there was a 7.2 down south about a month ago and one of our volcanoes erupted. the downsides of being right on two plates.

woww that's cool! don't worry about the weeds you should see my backyard :(

Matt..are you headed into winter? MB & I are heading into SUMMER!! yuk..I prefer winter..

Matt..do you live in Amish community land?? pennsylvania reminds me of something..

I am also heading into summer! i cant wait!
Spring is kinda draining in melbourne cause its always freezing in the morning and really hot in the arvo so you never know what to wear!

You guys have really never seen snow? It's never snowed where i live but we go up to bulla or one of the other mountains to toboggan or ski most years. Its good fun! I highly reccomend it.

oh true, that would be a sweet place to go in the winter. i really want to go to aus one day ay.
whats melbourne like?

haha well its supposed to be the most livable city. And i suppose i must agree cause.. well.. i'm living there.

Its pretty good, i live down on the mornington peninsula so i'm surrounded by beaches and the people are friendly and stuff.

One good thing about melbourne is the night life. There is a lot of it. hehe i used to be a big clubber but.. i dunno. i guess since i got a bf.. its just not the same you know.

Whats nz like? i've always wanted to go there. I heard a joke once that it was: 'two sheep paddocks separated by a ditch' haha but i have watched getaway enough times to know its not really like that. hehe

oh true, sounds pretty awesome there ay. gotta go sometime. im sure he's worth giving up the clubbing ay or u could always drag him along haha. nah its not the same i know.
aussie is so big ay, theres so much to see. Havent been out of my island yet ay. sheeez.

i live way up north, in northland, theres not much sheep up here, lots of beaches, lots of bush. I grew up in a town of 200 but moved to Whangarei city like 60,000 people. its cool. I got some pics in the photo section

it is raining and cold

gotta hate that ay mspen. got some woolly socks?

where is VT mspen?

Yeah mb you should come visit! I love the bush, i pretty much grew up there too, thanks to my adventurous AD/HD dad! Every weekend we were off in the car to some new exciting place.. hehe wow 200 that is a small town!

yeah im so gonna go some day ay. your dad woulda been awesome, to take you out on adventures in the bush. I love the bush too.
Out of the 200 people in the town about 90% of us are related, either first, 2nd cousins are related thru marriage. haha

haha thats so funny :)

ive been dancing to my cool tunes.. i found my tribes radio station in Whangarei, its cool, i can boop to it haha,
so howd u end up owning a knitting shop if u dont knit?

haha tracy i love it too! I think i am a bit biased though cause i have never lived anywhere else.

The only downside is the crazy people on the trains. Especially seeing as i live very close to frankston, which, although it has cleaned up its image a lot, still has a few very dodgy people hanging around.. lol

LOL..my Mother!! I *inherited* it :-) even though she's alive..LOL

today I had a good day ;-) I taught a TEACHER something (even though I have fear of teachers..this one seems to like me) and she was impressed..so I came home from work in a good mood :-)
I taught a MATHS teacher(believe it or not) how to work out a knitting pattern with cables...simple..I know..but she didn't know how to do it..and it made me feel good ;-)

wow now that is talent trace.
u should be training for the knitting olympics.

"when you make peace with who you are, you'll be content with whatever you have - even if you have not a couple of frozen sausages to rub together as kindling"

Cold, but content.
Amen

eewww...is that a cold snake????

tracey ur such a copycat...i mentioned the snake just now in anotha thread.
gosh wahine..

LOL..I had the craziest dream again last night..

I was on holiday in the US..and I discovered you could go and buy a gun off the shelf in Kmart (Walmart) and alongside the guns was a fabulous display of big bullets!!!
Anyway, I got my gun, and bullets....and felt *naughty* at the checkout..and the girl asked what I wanted to shoot..and I said "TUNA" and she said, "these bullets are no good for tuna, they'll go straight through"...but I liked the box, it was orange and yellow, and I got them anyway..

The next thing I knew I was in prison ..LOL...(nothing to do with the gun, or the tuna) and the female guards were laughing at my hyperness..becasue I couldn't sit still..so we all went shopping..

cool :-)

I hope tonight I don't dream of using sausages for kindling..

I hope tonight I don't dream of using sausages for kindling..If you do, you are more twisted than any of us ever imagined. :eek:

If you do, you are more twisted than any of us ever imagined. :eek:LOL...that's not possible :p

Thank goodness! :eek:

eewww...is that a cold snake????;) That's not a sausage, it's a warm snake. No fire there, but maybe some sparks.

Is that a Brazilian Rainbow Boa, Ian?

She's my latest and yes she's a Brazilian Rainbow Boa - Epicrates cenchria chenchria and very prone to thread hijacking.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2329/2053695873_356afe836d_o.jpgShe's a beaut, Ian. Makes me miss mine. I had a little collection at one time: 2 Brazilian Rainbows, a Jungle Carpet Python and an amelanistic Corn Snake (I know, indigenous and nothing spectacular, but she was a good girl).

Ok, you herpitologists....I let an Olive Python crawl on my shoulders once and held a smaller one plus a blue-tongued lizard and bearded dragon. Had to or look chicken in front of 41 7th &8th grade kids. That was enough... I will rappell again, but prefer to just look at the reptiles and amphibians thank you. Crickey, mate, he can really squeeze tight...

we had a ball python when i was a kid. im a cat person now-a-days.

I like snakes, when I was a kid I used to catch the small ones and show them to my mother.

I used to tell my brother to pick up dead animals and road kill and say "Go show it to mommy".

I was an evil kid.

are you the older child too?

i would dress my brother in girl clothes and there are a ton of photos of this. poor boy.

Yes I am the older child

i would dress my brother in girl clothes and there are a ton of photos of this. poor boy.
If I was a girl I definitely would've done this.

i was awful bossy. they had me on video tape screaming at my brother that he wasn't dying easter eggs the right way. its funny to watch. before school i would make him watch educational shows but i was watching gem and transformers in the next room. bad sissy.

bumping up for some chit-chat :-)

I should be working. . . but. . . Hi Tracy!

LOL...Hi MW...how long were you gone? it seemed like AGES..

I was away for 6 days only. But glad to know I was missed. I had a great time with many many hangovers.
What hsa been happening here?

I was about to send my neice looking for you...
6 days..it seemed like a lifetime :-)

she would not have found me. . . I was far from any civilization.
6 days felt so short to me, I enjoyed it there untill the whisky ran out.

she would not have found me. . . I was far from any civilization.
6 days felt so short to me, I enjoyed it there untill the whisky ran out.LOL..OH!! she would have found you..I would have sent her with an OPEN whiskey bottle..to DRAW YOU OUT :D
was it work? or a holiday? or a combo?

was a working holiday. . . no real work. Just a office bonding party. was nice, I enjoy seeing what people are like in the "real" world.

Whisky would have drawn me out!

I work by myself..my Xmas parties are fun...I amuse myself :-)

HAHA. I hope not too much of christmas will be spent here!
You gonna have family over?

HAHA. I hope not too much of christmas will be spent here!
You gonna have family over?I'm going to my Sister's place..then to my Mates for a few days..she has a new camera..and we'll go taking photos :-)

I always save it, and pull it back in :-)
