We have good run to September. Another percentage boost this week against Eddie "s Maggies. Same about Gardenier, he should have done it behind play not in front the umpire. Cousions must have Brownlow acceptance speech already written, he playing a blinder this year.

We get rolmops in the supermarkets here too S-dip. I eat them quite often. They are especially tasty with new potatoes. :wink:

I didn't try them in Finland. There was a very different variety of seafood over there though with fresh and smoked fish and it was nice to try something diferent. We do get a great variety of European and Asian food here in Australia.

Well me and my house survived hurricane Dennis. In fact, where I live, it wasn't bad at all. It lost strength before it hit shore and we weren't on the bad end of it anyway. I'm very happy about that. However, Rob and I are seriously considering looking for a new place to live. I'm sick of running from hurricanes and sick of the heat and humidity. Our beach is really screwed up from hurricane Ivan and Dennis didn't help it. With the beach messed up, there is no reason for me to stay here.

Good to hear you're ok Teri.

Good luck finding somewhere else to live. Any idea where you'll go?

by **Serendipity** » Tue Jul 19, 2005 5:58 pm

Teri, I'm glad you're okay!

However, I would be in favour of exporting the rolmopsen too... :lol:

Come to think of it, I do eat pickled herrings... small pieces of them go into a salad I like, with red beets (beetroots?). Odd really, both ingredients I can't stand to eat when served separately.

by **Penny** » Tue Jul 19, 2005 6:44 pm

I'm not fond of beetroot either.

How about Port Hedland, Western Australia!!!

There's only a cyclone now and again!!!

Or.....you could go to Iraq, seing as how Bushco have created a shining example of democracy there!!! :lol:

How about....Bali!!! You could go boogie boarding......er, well, maybe not.

Beetroot is good. Good for the liver.

Therefore good for me.

by **Penny** » Tue Jul 19, 2005 9:45 pm

Yes. It is good for you and for years I tried to convince myself that it was good for me too. I forced myself to eat it YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I eat it raw, grated in salad and it's not too bad. Or in juice. That's it. I refuse to eat the stuff in cans.

by **Kenny** » Tue Jul 19, 2005 11:40 pm

You know I would have felt myself that drinking the juice would be a whole lot worse than just eating it - grated in salad is nice though........even though I like the stuff, I couldn't bring myself to drink it, and I have tried.

I stick to carrot, apple and celery when I'm feeling healthy (or guilty) :lol:

Good to see you're still alive Teri! And I won't go into beetroots and the pros and cons of exporting rolmops...

Feel free to try my salad, you might like it!

by **msmercury01** » Wed Jul 20, 2005 2:03 pm

We are looking into Asheville, NC. We are going to try to go check it out in the fall if we can. Australia? No, I don't think so. Too far from my friends. Iraq is def. out of the question!!

I wouldn't drink pure beetroot juice Kenny ~spew~ but small amounts mixed with other veges is ok. Just ok.

by **Bobbi Flekman** » Wed Jul 20, 2005 6:43 pm

Serendipity wrote:Feel free to try my salad, you might like it!

No thanks.... It looks like it's already been eaten...

Yeah I treid it pure once too.....and that was the last time.
I tended to stick with carrot and apple in the main......I had a friend who used to juice all kinds of stuff - like cabbage, squash, beetroot......

Nah, Bobbi's perception is just a bit off... :twisted:

I wanted to prove that with a picture, but couldn't find a good one. Let's say it's so delicate that pictures can't possibly do it justice! :lol:

I was shitting bricks earlier though.....Harmison was pretty nawsty......the Aussies had better bring in Shaun Tait for a bit of extra pace, cos my Mum could hit what Gillespie is serving up at the moment.....

Oh my lord I have just noticed that Karl Rove, aka 'Bush's brain'.....aka 'the reptile' on the board!!! :lol:

Might be time for a stiff drink.....

by **Serendipity** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 3:42 am

He'd want one too perhaps... Now that the attention on Plamegate has succesfully been decreased. :roll:

Sorry, I am not in a very good mood... my eyes still hurt from rolling them when I was watching the news. I think I could do with a drink as well.

by **Kenny** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 10:17 am

I am at the point now where I have to be very selective in what news I watch......a lot of news especially on commercial networks seems almost like a cheerleading exercise for the war on the noun.
I notice that the 'Patriot' act was made permanent last night......whilst John Howard mumbled something about upgrading our already scary 'ASIO' act because of the London bombings!!?? (Is Sydney only a couple hundred KMS from London, or something??)

I feel right now that we are being herded like cattle into a place where our privacy and freedom will never be the same again. Watch for restrictions or monitoring of the internet very soon, becasue of 'terrorist' websites. These are dark days indeed, and I am far more fearful of my Governments actions than any bunch of 'terrorists'.

Sorry about the politicial rant, I am just a little sad about the state of affairs right now.

by **Serendipity** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 8:10 pm

Yeah, giving up our freedom so that our Governments can defend it, makes perfect sense...

You know, the BBC were also selective last Thursday. They cut off John Howard's live statement at the pressconference at No. 10 somewhere halfway(?) in order to switch to the regular news broadcast.

Well, enough of that! Today is promising to be a much better day anyway. SnakeLady and her hubby are coming to visit, and go out to dinner with us. Looking forward to that very much!

by **Penny** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 11:07 pm

Look on the bright side guys.....

Ah I hope you have a great time.....I wish that we could be there with you all, one day we may well be.(As long as there's no sprouts on the menu) :lol:
