I wanted to say But late so will go with two.... @Jordan7 I've had that song in my head since your comment the other day...thought it only best I share ....and I never miss a chance to assault @Sazerac wars with the Aussie music legend Johnny Farnham ...lol

( , Y . ) .... Naughty naughty...do you like the pierced nip action?

@Doreensfree do you really want a Boo's butt pic vote?....I thought you only wanted to share with Sugar Britches....I mean I can hook you up with a vote, just say the word but be prepared for the outcome.

Tinny....oh the word that just gives and gives ... 1. A small boat aluminium boat used for fishing with an out board motor. Ie... Dave an Baz took the tinny out to catch tea. 2. Beer in a can. Ie... "Chuck us a tinnie from the eski while ya up" 3. To be lucky, usually prone to wining the meat raffle down the pub or tattslotto. Ie.... That Wayneo's such a tinny bastard, won the chick raffle again this week. 4. Poor quality audio from an electrical device... Ie... I reckon that new stereo was a total lemon, them speakers are tinny as.

Sorry lovelies...been having a rough trot with day 6 of migraine/cluster headache hell... 1. I had a canary yellow car, a Kingswood station wagon that was older than me and her name was Betty Banana, or Betty and together we travelled far and wide. 2. I had a cherry red Ford Telstar who even had a red carpeted interior,his name, obviously was Baron Marred von Richthofen...aka the red Barron...but dark mate I'm Aussie who has time to st all that, he was Manny...together we nearly died on multiple occasions. (I had a burgandy red car too but his name was Miami because the number plate was CSI) 3. I had a navy blue car, it was a German Audi piece of shite and had no personality so never got the oribekegae if a name, I did you with calling it Bruce or Brucey after the flying doormat, a footy player for the Carlton Blues but I kid you not the car had no soul...there was no love. So @Sazerac takes to win.

Waking up to take a tablet two that I can go to work in the morning and hopefully back asleep in 10-15mins

@JB 883 , welcome back. PBS is the Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme.... Australia has a social health system. The PBS caps the price of listed medications at a maximum $40ish and the government pays the rest. Many medications (chemo meds) are fully covered. Pensioners and concession card holders only pay $6.80 per script...then there are thresholds, if you spend a certain amount of money on meds in a year you go to the pensioner price and if you get to the next level it's free. Some medicines are not on the list, so you pay full price. Ventolin puffers cost $6.90 (pensioner/concession card holders get 2 for 1). One of my medications costs me $50 a fortnight. My kid's biggest clothing expense are her shoes. She is just as happy in a Marvel T as she is in a Dangerfield dress so I'm kind of a bit lucky there..but bras, cost me a fricken fortune, I did offer to get some barbed wire to hod in her cows, she did not see the humour.

Wondering if Mr Weegie who lives in Scotland gets to have the roof down 3 days a year or 4

Here we go... 1. I have owned a canary yellow car who was called Betty 2. I owned a cherry red car who was called Manny 3. I owned a navy blue car called Bruce.

1 is the lie because you were younger

#3.. cos Linda is a goodun

Pom...or pommy.... An English person... As in... Those who whinging pommy bastards robbed the bloody kiwis in cricket. Or I don't really care if we loose, as long as we beat the Poms.

Nonga ....nong-ahh A fool/idiot...very mild, almost affectionate it down... Trying to help me dad do the backyard mechanic thing...he ask for a tool and I give him the wrong one... "Ah ya Nonga...not that thingy the other thingy, you know" this is accompanied by a vague waving of his fingers behind his back.

Banana smoothies (low fat, a bit if honey) can help with the cramps and act as a meal too. Tonic water (minus the gin) at a glass a day can help with the cramps too. It's my go to. You will get suck of being asked "how are you"....I started answering in phrases and accents with a basic Okand a change of topic and they stopped asking ...in hindsight it was nice that people asked but you do get over it and want different convos. So my answers we "or-ight" with broadest Aussie accept, "Choice bro" channelling the kiwi cousins, "very good thankyou" (Indian, as in from India)...you get the idea. It's ok to cry, it's ok to think why me, I'm a good person....that is healthy, that is normal. Actually crying is good for the soul. You don't have to be the strong, together one it's ok to feel all the other stuff too. So my go too trick was to recite the lyrics of good king Wenceslas and visualise the story....make like a little movie for it in my head...and then I'd just go through the other Chrissy carols doing the same thing. You need to occupy your mind so you dont focus on the horror and confussion. Hope the treatments ease up.

^ I love @Doreensfree's neighbours, looking out for our Toad. Ok all weepy now. So tonight I had Chinese...cos it was my dad's birthday and for the first time in nearly a decade all 4 of his kids and his 3 grandkids were there together. I ate responsibly...and then we had fried icecream...

I don't run a short order kitchen so saddly I go without a lot of things I would rather have because I don't have it in me to cook two different meals every time.

Woohoo huge congrats for your anniversary. I am so glad you stuck around to help so many of us join you in freedom. You bring brightness and light into everyone's day and in the grey world we often live in that is a rare gift indeed. Well bloody done on giving up and KTQ for more than half a decade. Thank you for the support and guidance and laughs you give us all. Hope you had an awesome day my friend.

Doesn't everyone mow the lawn in their thongs? Ok now I'm having bad flashbacks to my dad mowing the lawn in his Speedos and gumboots and an accubra (because sun smart).

Pretty good with a camera??? Way to understate it there Nanna Catlovers... I've paid professionals money for pics not that good. She is beautiful, and her slightly grumpy-startled face is probably because she saw the cricket results

Depending on the cut it's always been in the budget. It's probably the dearest meat, besides goat, but it's not crazy expensive...it's a bit exy at the moment because of the big 3, drought, low Aussie dollar and increased export demands BUT I can still do a leg raise for about $40 (so under $30 US) and it gives me 2 meals, roast dinner for 4, and a big family size meat pie. Soup Chops are easy and use a cheap cut...so you get some forequarter chips, some cheap packet french onion soup (yep the powder stuff) so piece of tinfoil sprinkle some soup put a chop or 2 sprinkle more soup, wrap it up in the tinfoil like a little parcel. Only do 1-2 chops per parcel...then cook in the oven for about an hour on 180c (360f)....the fat from the lamb mixes with the powder soup and makes your gravy, then just turn out of the tinfoil and serve with whatever veg you want to serve. The meat melts.

The Vegemite treatment was better on lamb than beef, although could have been the cut. Still yum. Did curry cauliflower and cashew nut soup last night for the quick easy option. Stuffed zucchini tonight. Just prepping them now. Thinking I might do french onion lamb chops on thursdee.

Wonder if 3D printers are the beginning of engineers creating a Jetson style food machine?

Hey an how come Australia is a nation made up of a group of islands yet Indonesia is the largest nation arcepallego ..... Just cos one of our islands is huge ...still a group a islands.
