My 1st Snipe 🙂

Do I get some sort of prize?????

Congrats Kaye on the snipe:)

Yes still trying to sell having a break for a little while am really burnt right out:(  Catch up very soon when hopefully am a bit refreshed.  Picking up Aunt and Uncle from ChCh so looking forward to seeing them and spending quality time with them:)

Good morning all, back again after more modem trouble... every time I vanish this will be the problem... gosh I am tired of it.

Yes, I think knees can be a bit of luck of the draw.  Most people I know who have had them done seem to be okay, but maybe it also depends on the doctor who does it.

Also they now actually take an image of your knee joint which is sent off to America where a prosthesis is made to match exactly where the problem joint is being removed.  This is new and I only know about it because a friend had it done a few months ago and she said it is fabulous.  Her first knee did give her trouble for some time before it settled down.

Gosh grandmoon both hips at one... WOW! top marks to you, I'm impressed 🙂

Yes panda I felt so sorry for him and often wonder how he is coping with the pain he has... I would have taken the risk and thought, 'well the pain is not likely to be any worse than this' and have given it a go.

What a lovely day you must have had kwozie with all the old records.  I gave mine away sadly, but then I don't have a record player any longer..

Hahaha grandmoon I'm not sure I believe you about leaving bub in the pram hanging on a hook on the bus :^O

Kaye when we ran out of chalk for hopscotch I nabbed a bar of sunlight soap and you won't believe it, but that game stayed on the pavement for months and months.

Oh Kaye that is so sad about your sister... 😞

YAYYY your first snipe... Yes you get a kiss  X 🙂

JV I hope you have a great time with your aunt and uncle, and a lovely break from trying to sell the house...

See ya later 🙂

Well I am having to retrain my dogs after the neighbours gave Harry the impression they were the enemy... now he barks and rushes up and down the fence line every time they appear outside.

Of course it's all my fault and nothing to do with them rushing at the fence waving their arms and shouting at him... sigh... we'll get there I expect.

Lovely day down here, would love to get out into the garden and mow but as it is the weekend I will give the neighbours the chance instead as I have the five week days without them when all is very quiet and peaceful.

If I vanish it will be the modem again, otherwise see ya later 🙂

Morning seniors.

Yes Kaye you do get a prize.

Its a futures pack.

A commode and walking frame!

Richo.

Many a true word spoken in jest, Richo!

It's nice having a seniors thread to use expressions that a lot of the youngsters have never heard of.

eg. a tiger in your tank

grabbing a tiger by the tail

etc.

Has anybody else noticed that even after over 400 postings, this thread remains warm, friendly, and respectful.  Is it because we have shared history and life experiences?  Or is it the times in which we grew up?

I have enjoyed every post, and getting to know (and like) every poster.

Thank you so much Darki.

When I went to primary school we didn't have a uniform. 

When my children started school in Victoria all primary schools had the same uniform. 

The girls wore a blue and white checked dress and the boys wore grey shorts and blue shirt. 

The Catholic primary girls wore a green and white checked dress and the boys wore grey shorts and a white shirt.

Did anyone have a fave movie star?  I was crazy about Alan Ladd, nuts about him, and later Dirk Bogarde (still am).  Loved Greer Garson .....cried buckets over  Goodbye Mr Chips.

Also loved Lana Turner, I would have given anything to look like her.

I also adored Jeanette McDonald and Nelson Eddy.... their movies were soooo romantic.
