Give up golf? No need for drastic sacrifices just yet.

Did I just see the real Buzzard on TV about his flooded house?

I'd say you might have (I haven't actually seen the TV footage myself)

Understood. You have way more experience than me.

Still need mind candy that may not necessarily be mainstream. Golf does that for me.

Sitting in BKK airport drinking cheap Archa beer and missing my daughter in Chiang Mak heaps.

I never imagined in my wildest dreams that my life could change so much. And seriously thinking about not taking golf clubs for 6 day trip end September/October but wife says I can still play golf.

Tough choice and I never thought it could possibly be so tough.

Just wait until you start driving around with her in the car, you will glare at any other motorist that comes within a hairs whisker of putting you/her in an accident.
Instant love and protection - ain't it grand.

I'm slowly coming off my [winter?] illness. Felt mostly like a real person today which was nice.

We were at the MCG tonight. What I love about live games is the crowd.
In the 4th quarter with Hawthorn trailing by 6 goals 4 of their fans got up to leave early.
The crowd around them sang "Na Na...Na Na Na Na...Goodbye"

Anyone with Telstra shares in their super fund going to participate in the buy back?

Just saw my sister for the first time in a few months.

We then spent our visit discussing various ailments in us and our husbands, retirement plans ect.

When did we get so old?

Sounds like the medical thread and TOTT in one

it is the first time I have seen that raised as an issue. Possibly depends on how many shares are involved before a red flag is raised?

You aint kidding. Her husband is having surgery but his private medical issues isnt mine to discuss but man, we are getting OLD!

On the plus side, my husband is currently taking over the house with amps and cords all over the house, blasting his guitars. No wonder the neighbours dont like us much

He did at sector run to Melb a couple of weeks ago and went to the Guitar Show and bought a new amp and has been dying to test out so Ive left the house for the day (im in the office).

Indeed. Maybe if shares are purchased before the buyback which explains my accountant's comment about sufficient cash flow.

I love the press report from Hilary Clinton's physician-"she is suffering from non-contagious bacterial pneumonia."
I wonder how she got it.

I can answer this one! HRC got her pneumonia from a contagious bacterial carrier. ( it's a good guess) methinks

Bit like her husbands definition of sex.

His JOB was HEAD of the US of A He can define anything he wants too !

She has finally gone to sleep.

I was going to spend the day in Bangkok next Thursday but her birth certificate may not be ready and translated by then so will defer citizenship application until end of month.

Enjoy your trip.

I have had experience with this ( citizen applications) for children born o/s
