Neat !!! I've been for a ride on that little "train", I'd forgotten about it lol ..

Some of us would agree with these Senior Text Codes

Great pics, makes me just a little homesick

Happy Birthday, Alicia I hope you have a fantastic day

There are some really nice shots there Dodge, I especially like the city pics, and the fishing ones - I've not been to Sydney, especially the city, for many years so it's good to see it all again and remember how beautiful the city and the harbour can be

LOL love it !!!! Reminds me of a dog we had many years ago, his name was "Deefa" ( D for .... )

LOL !!!! (that was for the joke, and also for Smiley's comment)

LOL TV and Star !! It does resemble MrK a bit, except there is no afro

Happy New Year Dodge I hope all your wishes for 2014 come true

LOL !!

It's ok Stormy don't worry about it, there are no people of interest, just some old cronies pelting each other with snowballs

And there is a rumour going around that one is me

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Koach and the ircops - however you spend your time over the holiday we hope it's great !!! http://www.jibjab.com/view/osnyDDnPRt2fiHTkh1zHxg (Can you guess who is who?)

Very cool and interesting. It might just be me, but it seems that machine has been programmed to use lateral movements similar to the way a horse moves, and also when it jumped, it used very similar movements to a horse, especially the hind "legs"

Wow Henry I didn't realise it was that long, I wonder if it will snow where I live next winter !!!! I think they got a sleet or light snow about 20 years ago

I saw on our tv news a few days ago, that it had snowed quite heavily and Egypt, and they showed pictures of the pyramids and the Sphinx covered in snow. I think they said it had not snowed in Egypt for many years.

SCHOOL A little girl had just finished her first week of school. 'I'm just wasting my time,' she said to her mother. 'I can't read, I can't write, and they won't let me talk!' ELDERLY While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds. She was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs. One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, 'The tooth fairy will never believe this!' POLICE # 1 While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked, 'Are you a cop? Yes,' I answered and continued writing the report. ‘My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right?' 'Yes, that's right,' I told her. 'Well, then,' she said as she extended her foot toward me, 'would you please tie my shoe?' POLICE #2 It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me. 'Is that a dog you got back there?' he asked. 'It sure is,' I replied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said, 'What'd he do? KETCHUP A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup out of the jar.. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the phone.. 'Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you right now, she's hitting the bottle. NUDITY A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and then asked, 'What's the matter, haven't you ever seen a little boy before?'

DRESS-UP A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, 'Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit.' 'And why not, darling?' 'You know that it always gives you a headache the next morning.' DEATH While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased. The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: 'Glory be unto the Father, and unto the Son, and into the hole he goes.' (I want this line used at my funeral!)

Happy Birthday foreverurs !!

Soooooo cute

Sounds good, I love love love apple pie, so I will give your recipe a try

Below is a poem (or pome as he calls them) that was written by a good friend of mine named Jeff St John. Jeff was a well known singer in the 70s and 80s in Australia with a voice to die for. These days due to ongoing health issues he doesn't sing any more, but is busy writing his memoirs, getting all his videos organised and in a format he can share with people and keeping his Facebook page updated. He and I have discussed the fact that the internet is a great "window on the world" and today, he became somewhat frustrated when the equipment he recently purchased, refused to talk to Windows 8, so while waiting for an IT friend to visit and help him sort it out, he wrote this little pome Crazy Shuttered Window My window on the world is having trouble with its system. Regardless of how loud I yell, damn thing just don’t listen. Bought in some help from China, that promised me the world, except the window on the world now treats it like a churl. The promise was, at first, fulfilled with music archive capture. The feeling, careful choice of words, was nothing short of rapture. My memories secured, I thought, as easy as just money. But now, my window on the world has decided my help is “funny? ” It won’t reboot, reload, record. First success frustration. My window on the world won’t access my early imagination! Exponential development curve that has now become quite vertical. “Computers that design themselves” is open to some ridicule!
