I have no strings to hold me up....

I am off the drips due to a weekly flushing so they worked out that I could be free of my pal who I call ET. He is allways calling home! beep beep beep beep beep beep beep see how irritating that is!

Sorry Susan but the spell check tools are hard to use and as for grammar, it's all my own. I will try to at least make it memorable.

I'm not going to post to long today beacaue I done a buch of catch-up in my note book and I think I get connected in my room tommorrow. It's a bugger trying to use the net kiosk but what's a fellow to do.

Okay the big news is that larry shirts for luekemia is taking off. My sister,(Parties at anytime) Melissa has decided to have a Chris Cross Crass party, you come dressed as Chris in a larry shirt, Cross-dressed or Crassly dressed. That pretty much sums up my whole wardrobe!

Larry shirts, the term, came to me firstly from Trevor Dixon but lots of other Australians use it.

I throw out another challenge find the origin of the term Larry Shirt for a loud Hawiian type shirt.

more later

Hello cuz, I was wondering about "Larry shirt" and thought i was being clueless about some cultural phenom that everyone else knew about. Maybe from a beer commercial for baseball or car racing or cricket...Will i be able to properly show my support for you if i don't buy one and post a pic of it? i hope so. Sunday night here and winding down for start of work week. Kathy and I went with friends to see "Wild Hogs"...a good comedy about middle age guys discovering their inner free spirit by taking off on a motorcycle journey. Nice movie, take a look if you get the chance.

hello to Joyce and Derrick, if he's still down there. hang tough...when I come for a visit maybe we can rent a couple of bikes and go for a little run. it really is meditative in a way. you have to concentrate on driving and be in the moment all the time...just to stay safe...but then you discover it's a great place to be without the damned multi-channel yak yak going on between your ears all the time.

Hehe. That reminds me of the time when callum and me (and yes it is actually grammatically correct to use the word 'me' over 'I' because I am usiing the objective 1st person past tense - see I AM learning at Uni.)were at Hervey Bay and the phone in the kitchen at Mollymook was broken.
It beeped every 30 seconds or so. That is why Gene now often says: 'Hey Sian, 'beep!''

The point that I am making is that; yes, it would be and is very annoying.

Good luck with that. Try not to explode. I am told that exploding is not conducive to good health.

Love you.

Sian
