dark chocolate AND!!! Irish whiskey! gods may not be just, but hell they have great anaesthetics!!!

Yikes, I live in dread of a repair bill like that. Hope that drink tasted good.

Any other news?

Also, I have a Lotto ticket for tonight. If it hits you get 25%.

Still working in the disability unit - until end of term, been really good - learning to teach again really, big change from senior academic or behaviourally dydsfunctional students. (Haven't been told to 'get fucked' in four weeks )

Did a small mine shutdown (4 days) last week - very long hours but still a great change! All good, just a bit of pressure, so life is good.

Your not the only geezer in SGAU,there area few of us around .

True!!! and a quality bunch we are!!

Rhana, come south, to the Snowies, and take a trail ride across the high country. (Have a look at the appauling movie version of 'The Man from Snowy River' to get an idea of that land scape!)

We have some lovely riding country here.

Equally so, the Tom Quilty 24 hour event - endurance ride, or the Adelaide International 3 day event, equally interesting, especially if your observing with a well stocked hamper of South Australian wines!

You're a good man, BD.

I agree you are a truly good man BD.

I have been thinking about getting a motorcycle and going on a cruise across the US, just because it seems like the good thing to do.... also I use to be into zen and I am use to meditating and it kind of helps me and I still do practice it...

in other things, they have yet to find the coward shooter... that and my mind has been else where so I failed my college courses...guess its a sign I do need to get the hell out of here huh? lol

Anyways I really wanted to say thank you and I appreciate your input and your wisdom, and I mean it when I say you are a good man and one o my only true friends here on SG

Cheers to you BD

Bugger, be cool when we are born, if we come with a set of instructions. Have a easy one friend.

Cheers guys thanks.

In the mean time, whilst I'm not a fan of foreign policy at times, I'm even a lesser fan of our medias' priorities!

Glad to hear you are going well, and looking forward to new things! Good luck with the job hunt and everything.
Hope you have better luck with the car from now mine conveniently died spectacularly last monday so i know the feeling, its such a pain in the arse fixing shit all the time, keeps you busy I guess

No different to horses or any other wild animal really. Know their psychology, and treat them with respect. Except I believe horses have a real sense of affection, which reptiles never have. It is good to see you still maintain contact with the outside world

Gee, I knew you were a charmer...but a snake charmer!?!

Beautiful, but deadly, eh?

Quite amazing.

30 years. Where did they go???

More importantly, why were the kids rummaging in the bottom of the cupboard under the book cases??? MMM

Thanks for the interesting comment! You are always so compassionate - I really appreciate that ! Good luck with your new " baby ". I have a bitless bridle but have never actually put it on a horse!!! Think I need some professional supervision for that . Maybe when the divorce is over and I'm all settled in somewhere...... until then I'll just ride him in his usual long shank snaffle. Hey - if it ain't broke - don't fix it - right??
