I think I just had a foodgasm.... Hooley Dooley that looks grouse as. Lamb chops and veg for dinner at ours. (Or as the kid says my favourite and I hate you)

Why change now ?

I still have to give ya photos...

Confession: I was in Red Rooster the other day and they had a music station on the big screen and for 3 songs in a row I did not know the song and I had never heard of the artist and they looked like little kids.... It's official, I'm over the flippin hill.

@Boo, you ever hear Reznor's acoustic version....still doesn't compare, but it's a third perspective of the same song.

Figgie. Ex: He is such a Figgie Which is slang for FIGJAM Ex: he is such a FIGJAM FIGJAM....Fruck I'm Good Just Ask Me. Someone who has a very high opinion of themselves, usually unwarranted.

Well we all kinda knew this one was coming. . especially with @Boo in the house... I think that the cover us going to smash the original in the polls though. ... So here the are: Original: Nine Inch Nails Cover: Johnny Cash The Song: Hurt Original: Cover:

You say "corn"...and the town is a tourist attraction cos it looks like a movie set and is often used as one because of the period buildings.

Don't you think it's more a crazy nutcase thing?

Well down here a cackle berry is another word for a chicken's egg...although we also use bum nuts....I love having some bum nuts and babe for breaky. But there are so many Ds..... Deadly ... Used to mean totally awesome, the best if the best... Jill's party was deadly. (the NAIDOC week awards are called The Deadlies so the best actor gets a deadly)

Well @Boo I know how to cook kangaroo and I can throw a boomerang...didn't say I could make it come back....so maybe ya ain't too far off the mark...

Yep...nuggets vid is now part of the syllabus at the kids school...

^^ hey Joe you better not be lookin for a lighter.

(beginning to suspect Joe8toe shares more than my name) Ay ... Multiple...if ya from QLD you just say it at the end of ever sentence ay...but the further down south ya go it means with what?

Don't you howl at the full moon just to freak the neighbours?

What accents, we don't have accents, everyone else does ..lol, joke Joyce. Australia is the greatest place on earth (not biased)... and when you get down here you will love it. Just plan well it's the same size almost as the USA so unless you come for a long time you won't manage to see everything..it's a huge place. Wait that gives me an idea....get one of those money tins or jars and each week put the money you would have used to buy ya smokes in there....before you know it you'll have some of you coming to Australia money...two bucket list items for one, Visiting Aus and being Smoke Free.

I know me mates wouldn't snub me if I smoked, but I will admit, especially early on, I stoked that fear and used it to keep me not smoking. Congrats @Diane R for being smoke free since mundee. That is brilliant.

True...chemo meds did a number on mine...will need them all out and falsies I'm sure. TNP doesn't wear makeup

It's hard to explain...but basically it's a mind set thing...when I quit this time I sort of just fell into it. I have a previous very long quit that I planned. Even though I stayed quit for years last time I was still thinking like the junky I was, focussing on what I was missing, and searching daily for a reason I could justify smoking again...for years... This time... Didn't plan to quit, just did it to sorta test meself but the big difference.... I don't even think about smoking anymore it doesn't tempt me ...and the big difference, I decided I would never smoke again, there is no reason that will make it acceptable. But it took time to get to this point. Confession: few months ago I had a really bad day at work...man I wanted a smoke...I smoke would fix it...went across the road to the cafe and bought some chew, just normal gum not NRT, and chewed my way through the day. Crave gone. And being completely honest...I am terrified that if I did smoke I would loose the friends I made after quitting.

X=2 Twofa... Meaning : two for one... To get two things for the rice of one. The bottle-o had a twofa so of course I hit 4.

veg (verb) meaning: to relax, sit around an do nothing as if you were in a vegative state. Wot ya got on this weekend.. Nuthin, just gunna sit on the couch an veg watchin the footy on the telly.

Sound frickin grouse....and to complete the old man scene a grandkid on ya knee. I miss them from when I lived in Darwin...during the build up we would get them without rain but man that skyline at night Frick awesome.
