the nothing ,anything ,everything thread

[opmania]

This is a thread with no particular

Topic so no one can be off topic 🙂

So if anyone out there has something 

To say about anything you like now

Is your chance

Keep it clean 

And be nice 

See how long that lasts

Can we keep politics and religion out 

Of the conversation

It appears he had more than one kidney transplant over the years.

RIP Aron - a job well done on DS9

Hadn't heard from the phone repair place so I stopped in yesterday as I was walking past
A new screen has been found just waiting for it to arrive in the country
Worst part is holding onto the money

I'll have to have a look for my "101 useful phrases in Currawong" book...

On the face of it, it's a fairly straightforward question...

"Why do you keep bringing me socks?"... ha ha...

Someone out there in suburbia is casting rude glances at their clothes dryer, perhaps not knowing that it's not the home of The Sock Monster... ha ha...

The wattlebird hopped from branch to branch to perch, getting ever closer while saying "What's in the bowl?! It's food! I have to have some!!"...

I tried explaining that it's Spam, for the currawongs, to see if they'll like it, but that fell on deaf ears, ha ha...

So I stood there, bowl in hand, while the bird perched on the bowl and sampled it's contents...

Very briefly... ha ha...

"That's not food!" said the bird, sticking it's tongue out to it's full length...

If that's not a "Blah!, Ick! Yuk! expression then I don't know what is, ha ha...

Who knows what the currawongs are going to make of it... ha ha...

In the warm, shallow tropical waters that lapped against the beach I learnt to shuffle my feet as I walked, that way the sting rays had adequate warning, and could get out of the way...

Better, someone said, to walk like an old man than not to get to be an old man because you were poisoned by a sting ray barb that had embedded in your foot... ha ha.

Now I shuffle my feet to avoid stepping on cockatoos, ha ha...

I imagine the women from the village would roar with laughter at the thought of that.

Fond memories of a place from a long distant past...

I can't help but thinking I've left a tap on... ha ha...
