    Hi there,

    Technically speaking, Jules can go into labour any time until this coming Sat 1st Nov, without any intervention.

    Perhaps we should all be guessing how many jellybeans are in the jar? [:D]

    Oh, and whilst we are guessing, did you know that vegetarians have a higher chance of having boys than girls? Or so the stats say… [:0)]

    How many of you think the weather plays a part in when a women goes into labour? [:D][;)]

    Cheers

    Hi there,

    Looks like people didn’t get the idea NOT to post their emails but to email you directly… YET! [:P]

    ***Please email Fudge111 at fudgetc(@)hotmail.com to receive your copy of the spreadsheet***

    Hope this works [;)]

    I found the spreadsheet easy to use, but I’d have liked to see a ‘help’ guide or a ‘how to use’ section. Otherwise it’s very easy to use…just plug in the numbers.

    Fudge111 Well done!

    Cheers

    Hiya,

    Sounds like you put a lot of work into your spreadsheet. Love to have a look myself. [:D]

    Perhaps you can put your email address into a post, so we can email you rather than attract the web spider. Or you can use ‘at’ instead of the ‘@’.

    Cheers

    Hiya,

    As long as it’s a healthy baby, that’s all that matters!

    However, so I’m not a party pooper [;)] I’ll do a guess…Wednesday 29th Oct ’03, Little Girl with Jule’s pretty features and fairish hair.
    Now if I looked at Jules about now, I could guess with more accuracy as to when labour would start (trick of the trade, but not so accurate). I could also predict she’d go into labour today if I told her a couple of tricks… LOL![:D]

    Whatever happens, wishing you a easy journey! G-d Bless!
    Cheers

    Hey there,

    Attn: Miss Pinky…
    Still trying to pin my sister down. Her cat got runover and is still in vethospital. Will ask her when I get hold of her. I haven’t forgotten.
    Creature Features
    Phillip was playing outside Wednesday arvo, looking for snails in the garden (mind you he was so excited at kinder to look for snails he banged his head straight into a metal pole – my brave boy didn’t cry, but he has an egg sized lump on his forehead) Finally he found a snail shell which was empty (obviously there some camicazzi snail out there looking for a new investment property [:0)]) and he brings it to me (I was hanging out the washing) and say’s “The snail is gone inside and won’t come out” so I said “Actually Mr Snail has gone shopping for some food” Phillip then said “I’m hungry, I hope he brings some food for me too”. [:0)]
    Okay, so 10 minutes elapses and Phillip decided to continue shoving his larger collection of empty snail shells into my hands… Phillip: “Where have they gone”
    Me: “They’ve gone where all good little snail property investors go, to greener pastures”
    Phillip: “?”
    Me: “They must have gotten lost whilst shopping and are now looking for their home…they’ll be home soon”.
    Phillip continued looking every 1/2 hour for the snails till it got dark.
    (So Mr McKnight, the trellis is good for something….like collecting snails to keep the children amused…[:D])

    Cheers

    Hi There,

    My 12 year old niece sent me this in my email…

    The Carpenter.

    Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on adjoining farms fell into conflict. It was the first serious rift in 40 years of farming side-by-side, sharing machinery and trading labor and goods as needed without a hitch.

    Then the long collaboration fell apart.

    It began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference and finally, it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.

    One morning there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter’s toolbox.

    I’m looking for a few days’ work,” he said. Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there I could help with? Could I help you?”

    Yes,” said the older brother. “I do have a job for you. Look across the creek at that farm. That’s my neighbor. In fact, it’s my younger brother!

    Last week there was a meadow between us. He recently took his bulldozer to the river levee and now there is a creek between us.

    Well, he may have done this to spite me, but I’ll do him one better. See that pile of lumber by the barn? I want you to build me a fence an 8-foot fence – so I won’t need to see his place or his face anymore.”

    The carpenter said, “I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and the post-hole digger and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.” The older brother had to go to town, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day.

    The carpenter worked hard all that day — measuring, sawing and nailing. About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer’s eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped. There was no fence there at all. It was a bridge. A bridge that stretched from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work, handrails and all!

    And the neighbor, his younger brother, was coming toward them, his hand outstretched … “You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I’ve said and done.”

    The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hand. They turned to see the carpenter hoist his toolbox onto his shoulder.

    “No, wait! Stay a few days. I’ve a lot of other projects for you,” said the older brother. “I’d love to stay on,” the carpenter said, “but, I have many more bridges to build.”

    Remember This .

    Ø God won’t ask what kind of car you drove, but He’ll ask how many people you drove who didn’t have transportation.

    Ø God won’t ask the square footage of your house, but He’ll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.

    Ø God won’t ask about the clothes you had in your closet, but He’ll ask how many you helped to clothe.

    Ø God won’t ask what your highest salary was, but He’ll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.

    Ø God won’t ask what your job title was, but He’ll ask if you performed your job to the best of our ability.

    Ø God won’t ask how many friends you had, but He’ll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.

    Ø God won’t ask in what neighborhood you lived, but He’ll ask how you treated your neighbors.

    Ø God won’t ask about the color of your skin, but He’ll ask about the content of your character.

    Ø God won’t ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation, but He’ll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven, and not to the gates of Hell.

    Ø God won’t ask how many people you forwarded this to, but He’ll ask why you were you ashamed to pass it on to your friends.

    Thought I’d share it with you…

    Cheers

    Hi there,

    It could be ‘A Fish Called Wanda’, but I’m not sure.

    I think my brother-out-laws favourite movie is ‘Trading Places’.
    I’m surprised no-ones mentioned any movies like ‘The Blues Brothers’ or ‘Blazing Saddles’ etc.

    What about movies like ‘Gone with the wind’ ([:0)] let’s not interpret that title to carefully [:0)]), ‘Brigadoon’, ‘Annie’, ‘Oliver’ etc…

    Am I showing my age?

    Cheerio

    Hi Motivated,

    Using the ‘Bulletin Board’ at the Uni/Tech. Also putting up flyer in resturants local to the area, or favourite eateries close to your property. The Local paper is also okay.
    Some actually go as far to advertise in overseas uni’s for exchange students, so it depends on what type of tenant you are looking for.
    I’d still be doing my tenant check list.

    Cheers

    Hi there,

    Wow! I opened another can of worms!!! [:D]
    Having students live-in and pay rent is not uncommon. In fact, my sister does it and so do some of my friends. I’ve thought about renting out my 4th bedroom as well. Like Sunshine mentioned, it’s called Homestay.
    Usually they are overseas students who come and stay and basically they do what the family does (i.e. if you go to a party, they come with etc). There are agencies that organize this sort of deal. There are conditions, whereby you are usually within 1 paypoint (with regards to public transport) of the Uni/Tech etc. You provide food etc. They pay for phone usage. Some agencies have a different set up (so Sunshine’s homestay customers might have different expectations).
    Then there are the rent per night/week, which that lady I mentioned in the 1st post does.
    Locks on the rooms are okay, but for the cheap cost of a fully monitered alarm system that you can get the tenant to pay for seems more slick to me. The lady said it was called “Watch 24” monitered alarm systems. I guess you should find your own in the area if you are looking for this security device. Sometimes these mod-cons add to the rentability of the place.
    I think it’s a great idea to get a renter-come-PM to collect rent from you for a cheaper rental fee. Good thinking 99 [:D]

    Cheers

    Hiya,

    Ci Manuel! Don’t know how Sybil put up with him [:D]

    I liked ‘The Meaning Of Life’
    There was also a movie he did with Jamie Lee Curtis (something with Animals in it, can’t remember the title) which was funny too.

    Hi there,

    Always do the due diligence yourself. After all it’s your money not theirs or anyone elses.

    Hi Arty,

    LOL! Yep. My favourite photos are the ones of me in labour, NOT! [}:)]

    Rat Race (with Rowan Atkinson, John Cleese, Seth Green, The Gremlin women – not sure of her name) Whoopi Goldberg et al) very funny movie.

    Hi Phil,

    quote:


    “Every day above ground is a good day”.


    I like that one! Makes sense.

    Arty, all you really need to see is the name ‘Dostoyevsky’. Little history lesson here okay…Sheesh, I have to go back to Year 11 English Lit class…LOL! (Thank you Mrs Wenig!)

    Aliosha, The Brothers Karamazov Feodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky
    Aliosha (part which spoke the quote I put in my post)
    The Brothers Karamazov (title of book)
    Feodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky (Author)

    Russian Author (1821-1881) Considered one of the greatest Russian literary figures.

    Hope this clarified things.

    Hi Phil!,

    Aw, shucks, I’m blushing now [:I]!
    I love what I do now even more, so you don’t look at the cleaning up in itself. Midwifery lets you connect to every facet of life… birth, joy, death, sorrow, elation, fear, vunerability, spiritualism and G-dliness etc… It’s the most precious and special profession of all.
    It’s true I might be biased, but I can easily say I love it. Now I’m branching into home births. That’s why I’ve been quiet over the weekend, I was attending an ‘Active Birth’ workshop.
    Thanks Phil

    Cheers
