7 year mark today !!! . I'm still here. Lol. I don't say much these days, but still I'm checking in regularly. I've been through a lot last few years ..... like a 2.5 year long divorce/court battle (after a 22 year long relationship), but finally got the family home back for the kids and I. Coming out the other side now and finally getting my shit back together. I believe I only managed to get through it all due to the support, guidance and advice I recieved from some members here. Thanks guys x I have some solid friendships and am grateful for that hey Thank You SAB.

Or.....

^ lol. love it! The best pic in this thread. I think you deserve a prize drifter. I'll post you something. Now, can we play in that garden realm next time I visit?!

Yes, that would do me.

Do you ever hear a good song on the car radio when your nearly home, so you have to drive around the block until you hear the song in its entirety to retain that thing you have going on driving/bopping?! lol. Sometimes a song isn't even that great, but you have grown up with it, know all the words, it brings back memories , hopefully happy ones, lol.,

Hey Plant Boy. . I'm glad your house didnt get flooded in. You must have been a bit worried, lol. Its nice to read about you living the dream. Some of the photos in your blog show up as blue boxes with question marks. I'm viewing from an iPad so not sure if it's my software or what, but.... the pics do show if I tap on the question mark. I love the photos of all the creatures that live there with you. Just a suggestion, maybe you could put the link of the blog in your signature here ( info displayed at the bottom of each post) and then there's no need to go back to the first page of this thread?! Keep living the dream mate. Enjoy it. Most of us are still doing the 9-5 in suburbia and can't help but envy you. Lol.

I wanted to enter the photo comp' but my Lego mini figures are still packed in boxes, and you know me and my traditional Lego/photo comp' entries, lol. It's a nice gesture drifter, and the nitrogen seedlings alone are a great prize. How about you up a funny pic too

Not subs:)

I am pretty sure it was overshot by $111. I was waiting for someone else to chime in with this to persuade my memory into thinking it's right, lol.

How EXCITING Fancy Pants. . I look forward to seeing more pup pics and hearing about the antics that go with pups.

I'm out for a while, my weekends are consumed till mid next year-ish, ...a course on Saturdays and work on Sundays. Will look forward to catching up when things settle down .

Doh, stupid tiny thumbnail

Maybe :),....... although, I still may be peeling wallpaper off walls. What a terrible job, lol. I could really go a day with you guys, you know ?! , some Melbournite SABer Botanical Garden therapy. See how we go for the 16th.

Hippy Birthday Alice . All the best

Ive got a bit going on in September , so I'm out. We will have to have a spring meet though and it would be great to meet wert and morg

Ah, politics, at a glance I thought it was ....Psycho (cactus) for Hillbilly la presidenta.

Ah, now i get what your talking about . I thought you meant Evil Genius may pull the plug on attending EGA at the last minute! But your not, phew. Never mind me, carry on

Oh, well there goes my reason for a fundraiser, lol.

Hey Torsten , how's the donations going? When the target is reached, I'd like to start another fundraiser for a worthy cause

Ok wert, maybe you need to do some one on one meets with some of the crew to make it not so overwhelming?! . What ever it takes.

^ Hey no fair wert, you've seen us, but we haven't seen you?! . I'm sure we were all a bit anxious attending our first meet, but if we didn't push through that anxiety, we wouldn't have the great crew we have. Next time then huh?! And mushfun, I made you an Amanita keyring ... Pity you got lost, lol. What a great meet hey, no rain, no wind, no weddings....just lovely winter sunshine . Good turn out too. Yeah, 'twas a good day.

Just heard the 2016 census will cost Australian tax payers 470 mill' over 5 years. Uhg. I received a paper form in the mail to complete and I just put an initial for first names. One of the questions was like "did person 1,2,3 (etc) do any non paid work around the house, ie; maintainence, gardening ......." . How is that helpful information for infrastructure?! . All that may show is we're lazy Ozzies, lol. It also asked who you work for, the address of the company , and of course how much you earn. I'm sure each time census comes around, they add more questions?! Census makes me so angry. Invasion of privacy. Grrrrrr. I believe in the future that everyone will be bar coded and have tracking device and traceable through satellite, not in my time, but I'm sure it will happen. Let's revolt
