Hi folks,
Back again...Gasp!!!! I hope everyone had a relaxing Xmas & New Years - I did! Although I think the kidneys are suffering from a belting of biblical proportions and I'm now on a bit of a water binge for the next few days at least to try and retain some normality to them
I came back from Mallacoota just recently after 2 weeks and have some great photos to post soon of a couple of skinks and hopefully what I believe will be some awesome shots of a cool bluish/ green water dragon I'll have to scan them in through as I don't yet own a digital camera (damn you Santa!!) My biggest blunder was forgetting to bring the camera on a boat ride I took to a little place aptly named Goanna Bay where I came across, as you'd imagine - goannas! Lace monitors to be precise, they were extremely big, not failing to mention absolutely gorgeous!! I want one!
My kids also found a scorpion in a wardrobe as I was lying half alseep on a couch which was quite funny as they often call earwigs ? scorpions! :lol: I was telling them that it?s just an earwig, and they were arguing with me saying that it was in fact a real scorpion. So in a daze I got up and looked into the cupboard, and low & behold there it was, a scorpion! :lol: I tried to keep it for a few days but it didn?t seem to want to eat anything, so I thought the best thing for it was to let it go. It was much to the amusement of the other kids in the place we were staying at when they dared me to hold it ? I love a challenge and thought unless I squeezed it, it wouldn?t sting me ? it didn?t! :lol: I?d imagine a smallish scorpion like that would only have the toxicity of a bee sting anyway wouldn't it :lol: :?
Anyway, get these into you! :lol:
A little old lady goes to the doctor and says, "I have this problem with gas, but it really doesn't bother me too much. The farts never smell and are always silent.
As a matter of fact, I've farted at least 20 times since I've been here, and I bet you didn't even notice!"
The doctor says, "I see. Take these pills and come back next week."
The next week the lady goes back. "Doctor," she says, "I don't know what the hell you gave me, but now my farts - although still silent - stink terribly."
The doctor says, "Good! Now that we've cleared up your sinuses, let's work on your hearing..."

An engineer was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess.? He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket. The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week.? The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket. The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week and do anything you want." Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket. Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?" The engineer said, "Look I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, that's cool."
