Is it the Season 5 or something else? We got the season 5 collection when it was released here. I think it's weird how things get released on different dates in different places.

Lunch huh? It's 9 pm for me! We're starting to think about going to bed.

Thanks for the karma! I've heard sheep shearers are very tough guys. The most I know about sheep shearing is watching Bryan Brown do it in The Thorn Birds!!! That was a long time ago!

yeah its season 5 I have all the rest on dvd. On another note who is "jansky" on this forum! Is she a squirrel?

@avabird, if you ever get the chance to sheer a sheep do it! Cause its heaps of fun!

I don't know "jansky". haven't encountered that person.

Have you guys done any more house hunting? What kind of dog is Molly? If you have said so, I don't remember.

Nothing much on the house hunting front at the present!

Molly is foxie/border collie/beagle. In other words a bittser or as you guys say in the states a mutt!

We would sometimes see sheep in Georgia. Some people had them on their farms. Mostly, we have been near them in petting zoos! I don't even know if Texas has sheep! But it is famous for its longhorn cows.

Molly is a rescued dog

longhorn cows you say! I haven't seen a cow with horns only bulls!

One of the cyclists I'm a big fan girl of has a dog that quite resembles Molly, but a little darker color. I thought they might be the same breed. And it's name is Molly! I think he posted that his Molly was a bittser, too! Didn't know what it meant at the time!! He is an Aussie, too.

My dog Chelsey fits that description too! We don't even know what her mix is!

do you have a pic of Chelsey? I can somtimes tell what a breed is

I think the longhorns are the only kind that the females also have the horns. I will have to try to post a pic or a link so you can see them. They are quite a sight! They are considered a native breed of Texas.

oh please do ava I would love to see what they look like!

I had a pic of her on dgeek. will have to see if I can find that one again; finally had it sized right. We know she is part Terrier, but not which and the other breeds in her line too! I call her the Crazy Mixed Up Chameleon Dog. That's a kids' book by Eric Carle, same guy who did the very Hungry Caterpillar.

@avabird, great chatting with you! I'm off to have lunch now cause i'm really hungry! Hope to catch ya again soon!

The very hungry caterpillar thats a classic & just bought it for my nephews! Ok really gotta go now!
(((squirrelly hugs)))

I've really enjoyed chatting, but I will have to go. Gotta give hubby the computer (I'm on his tonight) and get the girls into bed. My older one is in what's called the Color Guard; it's part of the marching band - they twirl flags and dance, stuff like that. She has a camp for it starting in the morning. So, back already to what we call school schedule!

Morning!

@AVA and AL: Jansky is also on DGeek but doesn't post that much neither there nor here. (And you two do know than she can read you? )

Well, off to catch the bus now. Will make someone happy today. Will call him and tell that he can come and get his trailer back. As we towed it this january... But I think he already forgot about it.

See you later! Have a great morning/day/afternoon/night.

@Ekorre, have a good day!

@Jansky, hi there! not sure if I have chatted to you on dgeek or not so Hi to ya!

Morning All

Niece is off to Cambodia today for six weeks!! This trip worries me a heck of a lot more than her six months in Australia one ever did

She's a sensible girl, but still ....

Just going to check the threads, then it's off to work on this rather lovely wet and gloomy July day

@Bar, morning! I'm sure your niece will be fine & will return to the UK with stories to share!

Evening AL

Am sure you're right hun. She isn't alone, she's gone with a friend this time and both are working for a charity while they are out there. Teaching English!!! Goodness knows how the Cambodian children will be talking english after those two have an taught them for six weeks!!

Alas, time for work.


Have a great day

@Bar, you have a great day too! I know someone that went to Cambodia 2 years ago & they loved it! They said the people where friendly.

OMG!! I just went to the mingeek shopp to look around and saw a hoodie I liked; when I clicked on the size range available I found that a 46.5" bust is a dress size 16-18 in the US. I'm 40" and thats a size 20-22 here in NZ

Size numbers mean nothing! If it fits you it is the right size!! No-one has to see the label

We get this all the time at work when we try to sell dress patterns cos they are US sizes, being US companies. Folks don't like to think they are bigger than they thought. Doesn't help that clothes companies have adjusted their sizes without telling anyone either!

I find saying that I am anywhere from a 20 to 24 is less insulting than thinking I am 3x extra large!! Why don't they call the sizes something like anorexic/skinny/normal/cuddly etc?! Surely if something comes in 5 sizes then the middle size is medium regardless of what number is on the label?!

After that little rant I will head over to the minigeek shop and have a look around!
