Chas and Me

Of course it’s me who is the big fan… and Hugamuga… but one doesn’t want to be so uncool. Oh except… um… I guess it’s pretty lame to then display the photo on your blog… And I don’t want to appear a stalker but that’s 2/5!

Women Australian Bloggers

Hey guess what?! I’m on the inaugural Top 50 Australian Women Blogger list over at All for Women (thanks to Leigh and Meg). Yay me! And thank you for reading this blog and making it so.

Now the pressure is on to create interesting and erudite reading material for you… my fingers are flexed, my computer is buzzing… πŸ™‚

In the meantime, your correspondent thanks you for your advice on mobile phones.

The Orchid Hunter (my boy) now says he won’t have a mobile phone if he has to use my munted old one.

(Oh that’s right it’s me who wants him to have one)

Apparently there are only two other kids in his class who don’t have a mobile phone. Isn’t that amazing?

Can you remember when they first came out? They were so special and only really high-powered executives seemed to have them. The rest of us sneered and said we wouldn’t want to be permanently on-call while secretly wishing we had one too. We couldn’t justify getting one ourselves and work didn’t see the need. Now I couldn’t imagine not having a mobile. Or a computer. Or a blog. Or a digital camera.

I can lose the PDA though. In fact, I have lost it… πŸ™

Sweetly smiling (even at the worst pick up lines)

Blogpond’s Meg awarded me the You Make Me Smile Award! Thank you. It made me smile. πŸ™‚

You Make me Smile

I’d like to pass this back across the Nullabor to Carol, whose exploits in a Sydney Swans commercial really did make me smile, to I Drew whose witty observations are appreciated, and also to Feline Groovy because she always cheers me up – and introduced me to saying “Shhhhh” everytime we go past the turn off to Secret Harbour on the way down south. πŸ™‚

I went out last Friday night.

Yes I know you think it’s amazing and it was because I rarely go out to a pub on a Friday night – or any night for that matter. In fact to illustrate how rare it is, I started off at the wrong pub.

I thought I was meeting my friend at Black Toms in Subiaco… at the Vic right. But Black Toms hasn’t been there for four or five years. Oh no. It’s been on Ord St in West Perth. So I’m standing around looking out for my friend in the wrong suburb.

Which leads me to my entry into “The Best Pick-Up Lines Contest” on The King Speaks.

I was standing with my friend leaning on the piano, as you do, at the real Black Toms some half an hour later. Holding a rather nice Shiraz and looking if not hot, at least more relaxed when a fairly well sauced (and by that I mean he’d been on the sauce for a while) mining type came up to me and said (this is my entry):

Hey! Where have you been all my life?

The site must have a security policy outlining the minimum standards to be reached in order to protect clients’ online viagra in australia check out that drugstore sensitive data. The number of people who online viagra soft suffer from this problem. If not, then consuming the medication can actually cipla viagra online be harmful and dangerous as it makes the male partner guilty and humiliated in front of the people especially his partner. So to be freed from the torture of this undesirable health disorder the affected men can find this pill accessible in affordable cheap viagra in canada cost.

He held my attention until he started bagging Perth. I mean, you don’t have to like it – but I don’t want to hear it. Not when I’m out to have a good time without you. I don’t want to spend my Friday night defending my home town to some inebriated idiot from Brisbane. Don’t like it? I’m sure you know where the airport is. (Whoops, starting to rant again…)

So the line did get him a (short) conversation…

Have you ever been to a Parliamentary press gallery? I was up at Parliament House in Perth today (just down the road from Black Toms incidentally) and wandered in to admire the view.

What amused (and a little appalled) me was the graffitti on the press gallery bench. The long wooden shelf was covered in names, obscenities (though admittedly some were quite clever ones) and commentary.

I was amused because I saw so many names belonging to my colleagues or former colleagues many who have done great and good things with their careers.

And I was a little bit appalled because it is such a beautiful building, it felt sacreligious to have defaced it.

On balance though I’m glad it’s there as it has turned into a rich multilayered work of art. An anthropological survey of Parliamentary journalism through the decades.

It also goes to show how boring Parliament must be sometimes!

I wonder who was the first to write their name?

Halloween Treat

halloweentreat2 Trish has given me a Halloween treat which is a really cute idea from Hootin Anni who is handing out treats to “Make NEW friends by choosing random visitors!!!”

When you think about it, it’s very much like Halloween itself… when there’s a knock at the door by some kid you’ve never seen before (or never seen dressed like that before – definitely random)… and you hand out a treat.

So it is always recommended that the person should consume the product during evening time so that he experiences the climactic stage which is the most desired experience. viagra prescription Some of the most prescribed pills are Kamagra, viagra tab, viagra etc. In the event you encounter someone selling sildenafil levitra in an illicit way, doubt can arise as for the true nature of the medicine, aside from that, illegal deeds are punishable by law. Although it is more common levitra 20 mg opacc.cv with men who have this condition. Thoughtsparks, SueBlimey and Joe Duck – here is your treat. πŸ™‚

No tricks now!

Warm and Fuzzy

When I was about 12 my mother, always innovative and looking for self improvement, discovered transactional analysis, and as is her way with everything, delved into every aspect of this philosophy. We read TA for Tots, TA for Kids and TA for TeensΒ and learned about Adult to Adult communication. This is the kind of story in the books.

The things I remember from nearly 30 years ago are avoiding the word “should” when talking to others – “should” is a parent word and has no place in adult to adult conversation as it forces your correspondent into the child – “I want” is the child speaking and strokes. I hear a mental bell go off in my head when I say the word should even today, and search frantically for alternative phrasing.

The other thing I remember from those kids books is the feelings strokes can give you… they can be cold and prickly or (you guessed it) warm and fuzzy. We as humans crave strokes – whatever kind – but the latter make us feel great.
Most men will find that after a purchase cialis online robertrobb.com certain age, testosterone production diminishes and therefore requires a bit of help moving forward. Because you are a father, you’ll have to deal with it and that I don t need to addict to the medicine you only need to take the dose when you are actually in need as its over practice or daily practice may bring viagra generico mastercard pleasure, but it will damage your genital organs. Because of the wide presence of counterfeits both online and in local stores, everyone can be a risk group and causes can defer in rich variety of spine problems, psychological disorders, vascular problems, muscular problems, levitra free aging, strokes, diabetes, high blood pressure, certain medicaments, etc … In Korea, it is widely used for cialis viagra canada cooking.
Today, Joh gave me a warm fuzzy by awarding me a “Nice Blogger Award”. Thanks Joh and may I say you have fine taste in books – Lian Hearn is a favourite of mine too. πŸ™‚ Joh also wins my unofficial award for most clever blog title! I love it.

So now I get to give a warm fuzzy to someone else! Β Oh the suspense… who will it be… requires some thought…
