Hi all...I love reading the various mottos that the members use..and was wondering what the inspiration might be behind them {bonz..yours is obviously from painful experience lol}
Mine at the moment is just a reflection on life in general having had both parents suffer from cancer..one appreciates life and living even after a jar of Jelapenos! Some of you might have a particular place in mind when you wrote it...and Richard I'll believe that you're cute - long legs are always a winner :)

Imagine
If you hold your heart and focus,
you will end up holding your dream
lol, nothing like a mexican fart to liven up a morning shower
Life ISN'T like a box of chocolates...it's more like a jar of jalapenos.

Mine just says what it says......maybe I should revert to Never a Dull Moment 'cause that is what life is like in this household.
I wouldn't get too excited about those emu legs..... they are awfully skinny.
41 at midday out here on the plains near the Flinders..expecting 45 by 3.00pm.
Hiding in the cool of the house.
Happy Valentines Day Mrs Al xxxx

To my special friend Lyn,
Have a great Valentines Day,
Hope you got the card, the roses, the champers and the choccies or did they melt in the heat.
Just for Willies benefit, it is 45.5 here at the moment. Refer www weatherzone and enter 5343 in the post code box.
Too hot to think about love and all those sparkly bits. Valentines Day should be in the Winter.
Only 7 more sleeps for you know what LynDare to Lead not to Follow

Couple of my favourites
"you'll never get run over if you don't cross the road" (On my death bed I want to have no regrets what I have done, not regrets what I would have like to have done"
I'm sure somebody will tell me who coined that phrase (and its correct wording)
and
(Dont like this one but it's been thrown at me most of my adult life)
"Laughter leads to tears" (or never try to enjoy yourself because something might go wrong)
Its too bloody hot

Gee Mrs Al - I was feeling sorry for myself here. 34 overnight and 42 now at midday. Seems we aren't the only ones having hot
weather. This is about our 8th day in a row. We are all skulking around in the houses with air conditioning too. Sorry you didn't get anything for VDay - even I got a beautiful bunch of flowers - came on the mail plane from Charleville (800 klms away) on Thursday afternoon. I was very thrilled and impressed until I realised with some cynicism that it is probably because I mentioned buying a
fishing boat this year - I caught him ringing up and getting prices the other day. That Willie's a bit naughty isn't he? How come the temps are so high everywhere? Going for a drive today - up to the Dingo Caves - the a/c in the car is better than the one in the house. Haven't been out of town for weeks. Hope everyone has a good day.

Mrs Al, I could not think originally enough but my travelling is nearly always unplanned and seldom in the past long enough to be relaxing. I always ask if we turn left or right at the gate.
In the past it has not not really been exploratory here in Oz - til we got this outfit anyway, or learned how illequipped with the silver Germerican. I am intrigued with the comments of others with some minor exceptions LOL I won't identify which.Regards

hi...43 at Echuca...were inside so is the dog... Mr Bear. Newfy/lab cross and doing it hard in front of the a/c....all 76 kilos of it. Having had a fair bit of military, and other types of training such at that in my life, we had a saying for those who were organising things.....it goes..... (there go my men, I must follow them, because I,m their leader). Hope you enjoy riding in the boat....sounds like it,s on it,s way...wife and I had a good laugh over that little comment. I feel a little mortal today too, buried one of my mates yesterday after a long battle with the "white ants", fair dinkum you just gotta wonder sometimes. Makes for one hell of a aphrodisiac for life.....enjoyed the comments also ..good laugh..thanks ...needed it...Uther

Lyn
You may have noticed my new byline (1 week old)
Here's another:
"The wild charm and exciting desire that induce an individual to undertake arduous tasks that lie before an explorer, and the pleasure and delight of visiting new and totally unknown
places, are only whetted by his first attempt."
So which famous Aussie explorer wrote that?

you sure know how to draw a response don't you ?
How about these beauties I've been saving
1. I started out with nothing and still have most of it.
2. I finally got my head together, now my body is falling apart.
3. Funny, I don't remember absent minded ........
4. If all is not lost, where is it?
5. It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser.
6. The only time the world beats a path to your door is when you're in the bathroom
7. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would have put them on my knees.
8. It's not hard to meet expenses, they're everywhere.
9. These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter .... I go somewhere to get something and then wonder what I'm hereafter.

Port Hedland and you'll get some idea. It has been cooler (unlike you guys) of late due to the rain but I've no doubt that's about to come to a dramatic end any day now. Such is life !
