Anyone smell something burning? My kids got their visas today - airfare just burned a $3k hole in my wallet. It's a good thing I love those kids.

Shoulda shipped em USPS

There is a gastro bug going around at the moment - and small children are hotbeds of infection, best avoided if possible.

Most of what you are losing at the moment is water, so as soon as you feel better and rehydrate, it will come back (not all of it but most of it). Lots of rest, clear fluids (Gastrolyte if the diarrhoea is really watery, or you are chucking heaps, coz you will be losing electrolytes and that will make you feel even worse), dry crackers, try and avoid dairy and other oily foods as well as spicy stuff for the next few days and did I mention get lots of rest.

That only works for US outgoing. Could have shared a container for 1/2 the cost, but that's a long boat ride.

Tell them not to forget their boogie boards, or did they go in the container already

Skis would be better here. Or water skis. Although they could use the boogies in the snow too...

Hmmm.... I'm thinking that cuzzy bro vette was making a sly Schapelle Corby ref.....

just gotta love talking on the big white phone to god.....

there's a couple of sets of 2nd hand Campag-hubbed wheels at Bicycle Recycle, but I have Shimano, so I've never given them more than a passing glance. I'll check 'em tomorrow for ya.

yeah, the last I remember you were over 100

... god lives in Werribee?!?






*sorry, Mexican joke

I smell another 'Great Aussie Invention' coming on: a dunny that has another bit you can spew in while you're crapping!! How 'bout one that pops up out of the floor?! BRILLIANT!!

Thanks

Just need to combine the spit-sink thingy like at the dentist with a dunny seat

AUS Patent No. 6077844

Well, if yesterday was 'Spewsday', today is 'Stinkyfartday', which I suspect is why SWMBO is going to 'a talk'.



Did you know in Japan, because the bathrooms are so small, on their toilets they have a sink on top of the cistern? I mean, not that that helps if you have gastro unless you can rotate your head 90 degrees....

Just ride it backwards

if you were nimble you could always sit reversed facing the cistern, could get some nasty splatter pattern on the floor/wall tho if it all goes horribly wrong.....

...anyway, today I rode my bike and it was fun.

Yep, and the heated toilet seat with auto bidet and hot air dryer is a novelty!

The good wife is currently in the US. She tells me she has received the Sidi's and Keo's I had sent to the hotel.

I miss her heaps and can't wait for her to get home...not just for the riding bling...seriously!

The wife tells me it's like going to bed with another man...she also tells me she doesn't feel guilty at all...Hhhmmmm???

hehehehehehehehe...I'm surprised the mods haven't closed this one down.

JAAAYSUS.....Triathlon????.....wouldn't be a bad sport 'cept for that swimmin' & runnin' ****!

well at least she's honest....she was telling me the same thing last night!

Glad you figured how to work them out. I was afraid one of the buttons was going to be the auto-castration button.
