  1. The problem is - as regards replacing nasty, terrorist-run anti-democratic regimes, with democratic, peace-loving, fair-minded, just, and civil Govts - America's record is pretty dismal, when it comes to wading into a foreign country in their best gung-ho manner, armed with the worlds finest cutting-edge armaments, and blasting away at everything that moves. There's not a single country where any American attempt to install a democratic, Western-style, fair-minded and just Govt, has succeeded. In virtually every case, any country they have invaded has eventually returned to tribal militias, and gang warfare.

  2. -I've been with AGL for a few years. We got a smart meter at least 6 years ago, way before my wife passed. The meter is read remotely. I can log onto my account, see the current accruing cost and an estimate of what the bill will be in X number of days. These figures are constantly updated. This helps my budgeting. I wish they could do the same with gas.

  3. Trump's mantra is to prevent the Iranians from ever having nuclear weapons. He says they have been given opportunities to come to the table to negotiate but have failed to do so, therefore he is determined to raze their nuclear processing facilities to the ground.

  4. We are promised 100-150mm over the next three days. Could be interesting.

  5. I've been offline for most of the day, so you beat me with the report of Neil Sedaka. But there is a local one today. Lorraine Bailey, Grace Sullivan from the Aussie TV show The Sullivans, passed away today aged 89. A number of other TV and stage roles, and two Logies.

  6. The bore water at my place must be very low in minerals. It does not leave crusts on the end of taps and seems to lather satisfactoritly. It may not actually be bore water, but just creek water since the bore is not too far from a major creek.

  7. I remember my mum having an album of his with him in a hat and fur coat. Funny how an image can be remembered from over 45 years ago.

  8. Yes, an extended drought can be quite depressing. Even more so, when your income relies on reliable rains. But we live in country that regularly sees extended drought periods, and then often followed by excessive amounts of rain. The people in the Gulf and the SE parts of the NT are probably looking forward to that long-awaited rain finally stopping.

  9. The only thing that I will no like if the rains come in strength is that I won't be able to dry my laundry. There hasn't been any decent general rain here since last April. Several small yards around my house are devoid of vegetation. My sister is hand feeding a couple of horses that she is keeping arded up because of founder in their feet. Fortunately I have access to bore water for domestic use and tankwater for drinking, but the fact that there hasn't been worthwhile rain for so long, coupled with this Summer's extreme heat and constant strong winds plays havoc with one's mental state.

  11. The thumb is classed as a digit of the hand, according to my information source. But that source also tells me that an upraised centre digit, conveys unspoken messages more effectively. 😄

  12. Nah, that's not digital, unless a thumb is a digit?

  13. OME, your turn will come! When it does - don't come back to us, crying, "please make it stop raining!" 😄
