my friend moved to Australia for work last year.  I think they were going to have him go closer to the coastal area but they decided to do the facility in Adelaide instad.  I talked to a lady from the coast who said all her freinds got evaced and it was a horrid situation down there

be safe down there Marcie and to your family and friends

Thank you newmom. I am forgoing personal spending for a while to send donations. It's going to take a long time to fix this one. The country train tracks seem to have survived here in Victoria, but the underlying mulchy stuff the supports them has been washed away. Could it get more annoying?

They are shipping Vline train passengers(peope going to visit family in the country, mostly) by bus, but its thrown out a lot of industries that use rail to move their stuff.

Queensland is defaulting on coal production contracts because even if the coal fields didn't get flooded, there's no longer roads or rail to move the stuff out. It's cost them 2 billionAU so far they reckon.

And then there are people returning to their houses and their possessions are all wet with foul smelling water or they've been swept away completely.

On a funny note, one Queensland family returned to their house and a brown jersey cow was standing on their roof blinking at them.

Wish I'd saved that pic, but I am maxed out on this stuff now.

And hey, cute kidlets and grapefruit say I.

 :D
Ripleeeyyyyyyyyyyy

As for that theatre we adored:  are you sure?  again I'm surprised.  Everyone everywhere now appears to claim authorship and proprietorship of that one.  Guess we'll never know who invented it

Eve ensler is the award-winning author of The Vagina Monologues.  Born in New York.

May I ask what do the families need? Obviously I would think food and clothes. I have some kids clothes for 3 and 4 year olds that I could donate. Know of any families that may need them?

Please be safe

Doubt they'll get around to fixing up New Orleans or Haiti.  

Or that new oil wreck.  That one was man made.  


Then Pakistan was trashed.  Brazil I can't even talk about it was that bad.  I've maybe forgotten a place or three...  Australia whacked too.  It's awful.  God has gone mad.  

What will we see on the news tomorrow morning?

hahahaha hearing about it is bad enough let alone seeing it, I think i would have to gouge out my own eyes if i saw that...

ohhhhh come on now kids are going to hurt themselves alot and sooner or later you need to start cutting the cord. she wasnt crying or hurt in any way as a matter of fact she didnt even seem phased by it other than the taste.

I used to drink grapefruit juice when trying to cut weight, supposedly it would act as a diaretic...but that was enough to ruin it for me...gross stuff

Lol. I HAD to google it didn't I? It was during the posting frenzy of the Mr Olympia, these veiled and snarky references to grapefruit and Kai started to surface. So I went looking for it...................

It was one of those "huh?"

"what?"

"WHAT?????"

"WTF?"

"OMG!!!!!!!! But......... It's a grapefruit."

"WHO LOOKS AT GRAPEFRUIT AND THINKS TO THEMSELVES...FWOOOR I'LL HAVE ME SOME OF THAT????"

"ewwwwwwwwwwwwww"
:-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X
:-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X


The grapefruit on the fruit platter here at home sat there, and sat there and I quietly fed them to the bin down the track.

I am scarred for life.

I heard they can't manage a lot of that sort of thing now. A lot of clothes and things have been sent already. Folks in evacuation centres are being helped with these local donations. They've lost everything. Some tragic pics of destroyed grand pianos etc

They were asking for gumboots though. A few people have suffered cuts to their feet while wearing flip flops(we call them thongs here down under. Oh the pain of it!) The problem is the cuts then get badly infected. The sludge and water is putrid and being in the tropical zone the daily temperatures keep it warm.  :-X

I am sending money.

Kai's antics ended up posted on the net.

I have lost all respect for him (yeah, great loss, I know). BB keeps getting pushed to the fringes and stuff like this exists to be cited as evidence to diminish the fan base.

All schmoe-ness should stay in the shadows where it belongs.

I heard about it. Haven't seen it and wont because I will not jeopardize the homemade apple pie experience.

Find most teenage "coming of age" movies excruciating anyways. And nearly everything Adam Sandler for some reason.

As for the Kai thing, someone thought of it, set it up, called Kai and he thought it was a good idea, or he did it because he was short on HGH money. And it ended up online. Bet he lost heaps of fans over it, though he probably ended up picking up a few more adoring schmoes.

It's as creepy as that scary weedy nutbar who wants pics of himself groping the breasts of all the pros. And gets them.

The human race is doomed. Basically.

I have an old pair of thick black cotton tights I could donate, they're clean.  I'll wrap them up and send them to the needy...

Whilst I was writing about worldwide flooding and sounding unsympathetic, my flat flooded from above, guy who lives upstairs had a blocked sink and an overflow from the bog.  Or something.  Neither he or I are plumbers.  The ceiling almost came down.  My new kitchen is trashed.  My comeuppance?

with mad love

You're not having my wellies, I'm going to need them.


Today they announced that inflation is of course up and unmanageable.  fuel prices also doubled.
Our world, it turns out, is bankcrupt.

nope, i live in the highest in the UK postcode for insurance, London W9.  This flat is a small perfect for one person one bedroom and it's worth £300 or £350 (or £500-700 if refurbished) a week if rented, £300,000 or £half a mill to buy.  

I pay £100 a week.  The whole of London is like this, rich next to poor, I'm in "social housing", not paying sufficiently for it.  I look after and clean up the rubbish at the front and say hi and bye to the neighbours and have a gorgeous back garden.  But I couldn't afford to live in this wonderful city, the centre of the universe, if I hadn't qualified for social housing 20 years ago.  They don't have it anymore, I'm so lucky.

a neighbour who has £100,000 cellos and 10 or more £2,000-£5,000 bows doesn't have insurance. It's just not possible to insure oneself here in central London.


I'm okay, I've only got an 11-year old purple iMac which is too heavy for even a crack head to bother to get out the door, so I'm safe.



Landlords are crooked and don't care.  They don't look after the plumbing, let alone repair or make safe, they don't do joined up writing, they've clipboards and that's about it.

But hey, you've made me think.  This place is social housing, paid for by the taxpayer (me, for most of my working life), the EU (European Union) tax haven etc etc.  My Landlord is a Charity.  Honest.

If this place fell down, maybe they do have massive insurance. I'd never considered that.  They sure as heck don't have the funds for plumbers.



Inflation doubled and fuel is overpriced and unaffordable
xL


I don't have a pension either.  I could die tomorrow and not leave a blip

two days later:  the world's gone totally bonkers, I knew it wasn't just me having a bad day...

Our PM's PR person had to finally quit, having been done for phone tapping.  Another guy on the other side of our government also quit because the security guy looking after him and his wife was having an affair with his wife.


Then there was Tony Blair still lying about Iraq.


They said about Berlesconi (did you see the pix of the orgies and girls he paid?) that he was like a bank machine without a pin number
