A couple of presents 4 Deb and Jill ... ... and one 4 myself :)

Yes, Adams makes a good point I used to - that a God who invented sex must have a great sense of humour - something fundamentalists usually lack completely :)

And that is precisely whya lot of people are more attracted 2 the Dalai Lama's approach 2 life

Another well received book

Advice for meditation

One of their links leads us here

Hadn't really read this in a while! :)

Could add this 2 our Dalai page

This book looks very good judging by the customer reviews - over 2000!

Remarkable session of Othello - FIRST three consecutive ALL had the final score of 39-25! then 36-28 - lucky 2 win all four! Then 43-11 but no safe moves 4 me - ends as 46-17 as it makes an unwise move when it could have exploited a line of 5 of mine on the edge :) Then 47-17 a bit more like how I have come 2 expect - followed by 53-11 ... 54-10 ... 55-9 ... then a squeaker by 33-31 and I still don't know how I won it :) ... 35-29 ... don't normally win THAT many in a row ... 44-20 ... 48-16 ... 55-9 ... 30-34 finally blew one :)

Interesting sermon from an old page sermon

Leads us 2 a quote from Einstein I hadn't heard of before - spooky cos Mum mentioned an Einstein exhibit in her last email!

[ August 26 & 27, 2009 '

Nice chat & a trip 2 the cheap book store with George - may add more 2 these excerpts as I get into it

Yes, it's the sort of book that one can open at "random" ... so I did ... and the very first page I see is about nature which is precisely what George & I had been discussing not 10 minutes previously! Spooky!

Offered 2 lend George this book after he said he has heard good things about it

36-26 becomes 56-8! Then 34-24 becomes 44-19 then 47-17

Barely remember these posts! - found in an old file on my PC :)

Leunig at it again

Mind overhaul - a site we have been 2 before

Could add this 2 our prayer list

Found an old page of quotes (from Einstein)

At that same site - huge page of thoughts about love

English is a funny language

Interesting blog - have yet 2 explore it too deeply

Playing around with BookShelf again

From our number plate game - JOLT - FIZZLE - BUOYANT - PICTURESQUE - QUADRICEPS - UUU becomes UNUSUAL - and plenty more I don't recall :)

Freewebs still refusing my uploads - lucky I have other sites :) - read this collection!

It's days like these we REALLY miss Warney - saw a book in Border's that listed him as third behind Bradman & Grace!

Speaking of Warnie - click

Continuing the theme

And here is the book that I mentioned ranking him 3rd of all-time

Leads us to this interesting page

Can't get enough of the stats ... here is why many regard Sobers as the best ALL-round cricketer ever

Another excellent session with the number plate game - something like 15 or 16 in a row with no imposssible combinations and only 5 or 6 of those needed re-arranging! - ABSOLUTELY & UNYIELDING being among the more memorable

Later in that same day a RECORD 8 in a row with no re-arranging necessary (followed by 3 impossibles :) ... memorable words being PERPLEXING & MAZER & would-you-believe QUIXOTIC TWICE! Once from QIX and on from QTX

[ August 28 & 29, 2009 '

From that little book I mentioned

Article I can relate to - esp the title :)

Report on the final Test - is this the SAME side that made 6 for 650 in the first Test ... well they do say cricket is a fuinny game ... might be hard 2 get a laugh out of the Aussies just at the moment :)

More weird sport - Port kicks 10 goals straight in the first quarter & still manages 2 lose! Kicking 4 goals 8 for the rest of the match!

A few links & pages 2 check out

Another broken link leads us 2 this search result

A bit of nostalgia :)

Continuing a fairly recent theme - sent a few of today's sites 2 the forum

Curious! I really don't recall opening this site - but the book is excellent

Leads us here after a few clicks

More Red dwarf - click ... click ... click ... click ... click ... click

As of day 3 in final test - aust - 61 wickets for 2618 - engl - 64 wickets for 2472 yet we will lose the series - a bit rough :(

Continuing the recent sporty theme - we lose by less than a goal 4 the second week in a row! Not a great time 2 be losing form before the finals! I HATE 2 say it but collingwood should almost be flag favourites on current form ...

Opened YET another website - warning - don't click on this link if you are easily upset but it DOES have some interesting mantras ... click :)

From yet another play-around with BookShelf - click ... click ... click ... click ... click - she was only 31 when she suicided

Another page about Einstein - among MANY others

Been thinkin bout this concept a bit lately

More good memories

Then a little later in the day a classic cartoon!

Interesting ep of Dr Phil ... I would observe ... if you don't want peace-of-mind just continue 2 get upset ANY time you encounter someone who has a different set of opinions/beliefs than you currently hold ... I feel really sorry 4 anyone who does that ... BECAUSE I used 2 do it myself!

Yes ... somehow reminds me of some of this - click - that's IF the new site isn't acting up again!

May also send this 2 the forum - as well as add 2 our new list

Trippin down memory lane again :)
