I'd miss Hawaii too if I'd lived there and then had to leave. I don't blame you one bit for missing it. Having grown up in a service family, I know how difficult it can be to establish new friendships, particularly when you've come from a place where you had a lot of good friends and activities. But I'm sure you will find them, Tex. By the way, do you notice whether you dream more vividly when pregnant? Just curious...
I've eaten some pretty weird-looking dishes in my life so I would probably eat it but can understand why you wouldn't.
Peter, all the best, mate. You were one of the first friends I made here and I've always valued your honesty, intelligence and wit. I will miss you around here, mate. I too have been put off by the over-abundance of widget/desktop etc articles and having to trawl through them to find something interesting to read. I will be checking out your other blog regularly. Stay in touch, mate.
Hey Pete, I'm am sorry I didn't see this sooner. You were one of the very first 'friends' I made here and I value your intellect, your humour and your opinions. I hope you do drop by occasionally and say g'day. I too am not really feeling JU like I used to do. I don't like the bland look of it and, like others above, don't really want to confront a whole lot of widget/desktop etc., articles to find a few by my friends. I will be checking out your blogspot regula
I love how the flash has completely blocked out your face. Very cool... Pregnant women look so alive and vibrant and smell awesome too.
I don't find this kind of humour funny in the slightest. But I don't agree with the boycott either. Retarded is just a word. As Tex said, context is everything PS: If anyone takes offence to me using 'retarded' here, too bad. I'll say it again, it is just a word.
I'm glad Wanda and you were at least able to part on good terms. And I'm really glad you didn't let the white trash girl get the better of you and start stomping faces. Congratulations on getting into the masters program as well. It is almost as though this is validation for your behaviour that day. Well done! :)
This made me laugh out loud, Tex. Reading this reminded me of what my mother must have gone through having 5 children at home on holidays. Roll on September...
Now this is incredible. I've always thought a lot of lawyers were only in the court room to make up numbers and now this proves it. What a scumbag , waste of space, oxygen and shoe leather. Oh boy, I hope Jay follows your advice otherwise he is going to go down big time.
I know this is real but I still find it hard to fathom. And so much for your mother, huh?
An optimist sees delight in every thing around them. The pessimist only sees the smile on the optimist's face and wonders what the hell they're smiling about. I always have time to look at birdlife, to watch a lizard crawl across a wall, to marvel at the joy my cat gets from rolling in the grass, to make my wife laugh or spend a moment thanking the universe for the life I have.
1. Who makes you laugh the hardest? I often crack myself up but if pressed, I'd have to say my wife. She knows exactly what tickles me. 2. What are five things you can't live without? There isn't much I couldn't live without. So long as I have my guitar, a pencil and a note book, everything else is an added bonus. Having said this, know that I own a decent wireless laptop, I'd probably really miss it if it were gone. 3. What is t
You're a wonderful, caring woman who will find the right man for you, of that I have no doubt. There are still good men and women out there. It took me many years but I found the right 'one' and now we're coming up on our sixth wedding anniversary. It still feels so fresh, though.
See, this is why I don't have kids. You, Tex, Kelly, Loca - erm, I mean Boudica and all the other mothers here are doing wonderfuls jobs, as far as I'm concerned. I have a lot of patience, just none of it for cantankerous kids.
Aint it always the way... The 'Big Questions' are called such because if they were answered, then they'd be the 'Big Answers' and we'd have nothing to wonder about :LOL:
I too am sorry to hear about your old friend, mate. But I'm glad you're doing every thing you can to prolong your life. I'm still planning on coming your way in 2010. One of the stops we're keen to make is Austin, TX (it has one of the best tattoo studios in the world - Tinta Cantina - where I'd like to get a piece done while I'm there). I am also sorry you didn't catch anything on your fishing trip. But I bet just hanging out with your son was a great thing any
Great pictures, Tex. I really like the mermaid fountain. Isabella is more gorgeous every day. It sounds like there is never a dull moment with her around. Thanks for sharing again.
I'm very much 'in love' with my wife, even after nearly 6 years of marriage. Yes, I love her very much as well. But the 'in love' part, the part that makes me feel like a giddy schoolboy, is still very much there. The love we have for each other is as each other's best friend, confidant, partner, lover and antagonist all rolled into one. I still feel like I am blessed to have her in my life.
I agree with Roy and say this is a lovely ramble, Rose and that Chris is definitely one of the good guys. Make sure you say hello to him from me. Toni would love to open her own cupcake store, I think. She really has a knack for making them, which I don't mind one little bit.
Lovely shots, Rose. I particular like the landscape shots. It looks dry but very pretty nonetheless.
I don't play the lotteries simply because whenever I gamble, regardless of what the game is, I lose. My wife, however, buys to the occasional ticket. I'm hoping that with her luck she will win a bag load of cash and we'll be outta here. Here's to dreams, mate.
1. What was the best meal your mom cooked? or dad? Mum did the best roast dinners ever while Dad could BBQ a tire and make it taste good. 2. Do you have any exciting plans for this weekend? Already happened - did my first yoga class yesterday with my wife. I was stretched in places I didn't know [I]could [/I]stretch. 3. What was your worst punishment when you were a kid? The waiting after Mum said "Just you wait until your Father gets home." It
Mate, if you can find some tinder, I've got a box of matches. At least this way, we can keep warm. Besides, I'd far rather be out in the cold and honest with myself than standing at the fire, nodding along like I know what the hell they're talking about.
I'm on your side with this Tex. Thankfully we don't have the hassle of people knocking on our door as we live in a secure apartment block. If anyone buzzes that I don't know, I simply say I'm not interested. We do get phone calls though. If the call is at a reasonable hour, I again say 'not interested' and hang up before they can say anything else. If it is not a reasonable hour (we've got some calls at 9 pm and later) I remind them they are breaking a law in Australia and tell them in no u
