Dear Friends, About half an hour ago I had the most delightful chat with Heather MUTH from B.C., Canada!! Yes, she phoned. I suppose we talked for about 20 minutes and covered quite a bit of ground. Aren't accent's amazing? :) I told Heather I was going to boil the billy and go down the creek,

There was this fellow who worked for Australia Post, whose job it was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses. One day a letter came to his desk, addressed in a shaky handwriting to God. He thought, Oh boy, better open this one and see what it's all about. So he opened it and read:

Hi spiders The mention of Anne of Green Gables bought back a few memories, my two girls loved those stories when they were younger, watched the films over and over. My eldest daughter, Judy, has red hair just like Anne, which guess what she hates (and a similar temperament). One day when I was

I can remember as a child in infants school hating reading - it was so difficult - until one day in the school corridor, which doubled as the school hall, whilst waiting to go in to read to someone - can't remember whether it was a teacher, parent or assistant - the light struck and I mean that

G'day Heather, Many years ago David Downunder had called Tamara and described her voice. I'd been wanting to hear it ever since and yesterday's mail problem seemed as good a reason as any. I also pay very cheap phone rates. I very nearly called David in the middle of the night (his night)

Calling in sick to work makes me uncomfortable. No matter how legitimate my excuse, I always get the feeling that my boss thinks I'm lying. On one recent occasion, I had a valid reason but lied anyway, because the truth was just too darned humiliating. I simply mentioned that I had sustained

Well, I didn't exactly pass out -- when I absolutely had to sit down for a few minutes, there was no chair in sight, so I sat on the floor. Suddenly sinking to the floor when surrounded by doctors and R.N.s is not a good idea for those who wish to be allowed to leave quietly. Joy Beeson
