See, she gets it. Wake up people!

What ever do U mean? I do knot know what 4 U R talking bout.

Now it all makes sense to me.

Gotta go CB. Good to see you again. Drop a line sometime. I won't be online much though...things are a little crazy these days. OK...I am a little crazy these days truth be told.

There is always a problem in Houston...it's Houston! I'm being transferred there...most likely for good.

What is it with the Aussies and English that makes them want to traumatize their children so young?

for a children's sing a long song!

For those who are not familiar with Australian slang...

swagman is a vagabond
billabong is a watering hole
a billy is a tin to boil water in
a jumbuck is a sheep
a tucker bag is a napsack

This is really quite depressing!

Waltzing Matilda

Once a jolly swagman
Camped by a billabong,
Under the shade
Of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched
And waited 'til his billy boiled
"You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me"

Waltzing Matilda,
Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me
And he sang as he watched
And waited 'til his billy boiled,
"You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me"

Down came a jumbuck
To drink at the billabong,
Up jumped the swagman
And grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he stowed
That jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me"

Waltzing Matilda,
Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me
And he sang as he watched
And waited 'til his billy boiled,
"You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me."

Down rode the squatter,
Mounted on his thoroughbred,
Up came the troopers,
One, two, three,
"Where's that jolly jumbuck
You've got in your tucker bag?
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me"

Waltzing Matilda,
Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me
And he sang as he watched
And waited 'til his billy boiled,
"You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me."

Up jumped the swagman,
Sprang into the billabong,
"You'll never catch me
Alive," said he,
And his ghost may be heard
As you pass by the billabong,
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me.

Waltzing Matilda,
Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me
And he sang as he watched
And waited 'til his billy boiled,
"You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me."

No can do CB, I have to report to Houston in a couple of weeks.

Hey Fran

Emotionally, it seems like we are all speaking different languages most of the time.

I have a confession to make.

I have deeply hurt someone I love very dearly. I pray that one day he will forgive me.

I would just tell her the truth. Giving them to her may have given her the impression that you have a cigarette tree in your back yard. Let her know that you just can't continue to do so anymore.

I think sometimes it's hard to walk away from someone you love...but buyer beware...she will still be looking for someone she can be "in love" with.

A kind hearted, considerate, compassionate, intelligent, humorous, optimistic, passionate man.

Back off ladies...he's mine!

I think if it's the right person, the phone can ring and bring the dream even closer.

That has been my experience anyway.

I have someone who makes me smile, for sure!

Also...you can know someone for years only to discover they are not what they seemed. It happens a lot.

I can very easily picture myself in a relationship with someone online. That may be partially due to the fact that both people I have met from here were EXACTLY as they seemed, but after talking to my online interest...and his family for over 6 months...I think I know him pretty well by now.

I am sooo used to constantly changing plans that it doesn't faze me anymore at all.

Gee thanks!
