  4. Some days are just perfect from start to finish. So why can't they be like that every day?

  5. Yeah, sounds like a great day. I have one question though.

    "thanks dana for your book of stupid poetry"

    Did Dana write the poetry? Like, is she dying, and these poems contain the final jewels of a wise and loving heart, and you just dissed them? God, Kylie!!! What a witch you are!

  7. Love Lawson's Bread especially if purchased as a special.

    Is Henry Lawson's poem "The Man From Ironbark" classified as stupid poetry?

  8. That's it I am gathering up a boat load of varied age children and sending them to OZ. Meet them at the freight terminal.

    Another month until school starts here...for them that will go that is.

  10. walking man,
    i'm just concerned about what size the boat is?
    you know there actually were boatloads of english orphans shipped here in years gone by.

    putzy,
    we dont have hummingbirds here but i happened to see one when i was in california and what a delight they are! the babies have to be even more amazing!

  11. Kia ora Kylie,
    I always enjoy the saying the "most of the bad things that happened to me never did", meaning most of the stuff we worry about never eventuates, yet worry we do. So thanks for the reminder of appreciating the little "victories" we have each day. Hope all is well. Kia kaha.
    Aroha,
    Robb

  12. hi robb,
    i had a moment of great impatience last week when someone was whining to me about pain in their life. i know pain and i have sympathy for it but in this person i see no progress, just wallowing.
    i went away thinking that there is joy any day if we look hard enough so i decided i'd better follow my own advice :)
