Hi everyone.

I received a short email yesterday, from Tony, relayed through his son.
Tony has asked me to thank everyone on the board for their kind concern and supportiveness during his illness.

Poppy day.

feeds@yuku.com (Mickw) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 07:43:51 GMT

Just returned from our local armistice day service. Laid a wreath, watched the darken dank clouds and looked at the faces of the young cadets and wondered of how many of them will see conflict and even die for their country/political will. Wore my poppy with pride and thought of the brave souls overseas as i do at this time of year. Whatever ones beliefs or political stance, lets not forget the sacrifices those before and those now make.

As for our plitical masters whose children...

Loss of concentration

feeds@yuku.com (Guemene) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 05:49:34 GMT

Before the Internet I use to do a lot of sewing, embroidery, and reading. Since the Internet I find I can't concentrate as well. (Maybe part of the problem is having tinnitus on most days) I do get periods of good concentration but then it goes again. My daughter who works in I.T. finds she too, has a short concentration span - she is correcting it doing crocheting.

Does anyone else have the same problem? Can you concentrate as well as you could say ten years ago???

Britney Stinks!

IT was not the triumphant return Britney Spears had hoped for.

He died at 83 while I was unable to go online. Just wanted to express my sadness. He was never broadcast (as far as I know) in Australia, but an American friend sent me loads of DVDs of his kid's shows from the 50's and the 70's. His two sons were in 'Tin Machine' (David Bowie was the singer).

Loved his low-budget stuff. It was terrible and great at the same time.

I met a "NOSE" Yesterday

feeds@yuku.com (Lynnears AB) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:47:32 GMT

I went to the opening of an exhibit at MOMA yesterday and after I viewed the show, I went to get a glass of wine and sit down and rest my feet. I chose to sit next to a very attractive couple, and after chatting about the show and the wines they were pouring, I asked this perfectly gorgeous young woman what she did. She told me that she was in the fragrance field.

I said, "Are you 'a nose' "?

When she replied affirmatively, I was off and...

WASHINGTON The U.S. unemployment rate climbed to 10.2% in October, topping the 10% mark for the first time in 26 years, the Labor Department reported Friday.

Nonfarm payrolls dropped by a seasonally adjusted 190,000 in October, bringing to total number of jobs lost in the recession to 7.3 million. It was the 22nd straight decline in payrolls. Large losses were seen in manufacturing, construction and retail.

Is that Change...

The Lie Clock (recv'd on e-mail)

The Lie Clock

A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at
the
Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him.
He asked, 'What are all those clocks?'

St. Peter answered, 'Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a
Lie-Clock.

Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move.'

'Oh,' said the man, 'whose clock is that?'
'That's Mother Teresa's....

If you had a problem with your avatar earlier today, I believe our resident magician Sally was able to rectify the problem with the help of Yuku.

Glad my bicycle was'nt stolen.

Have you been tracking where your money is going?

It's quite interesting. We have an ongoing stimulus program that will end up costing around $300 Billion. Small by American standards I know. Our government claims that unemployment would be about 1.5% higher than it is now if the program was not in place. If you do some calculations you will probably find that the amount spent by the government to save a job will work...

Your Computer Security Precautions Are Worthless

feeds@yuku.com (Sedgie) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:21:27 GMT

Install your Windows Updates. Update your antivirus software. Scan your system regularly. Keep religious backups. It's all good advice -- and it's advice that I give to readers on a near-daily basis.

And maybe it's all

On being too open

feeds@yuku.com (hopeinGod) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:00:51 GMT

Have you ever just met someone who told you every detail about their life in what seemed like therapy seeking? At the oddest times, people with whom I exchanged only a few words will tell me all the hard and terrible facts about their lives.

I don't think it would even matter to most of these types of personalities whether a verbal exchange is made. All they want is to talk about their lives to you, and to the next seventeen people they meet.

Maybe therapy is too...

Winter forecast in US

feeds@yuku.com (hopeinGod) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:08:48 GMT

Wondering what the Farmer's Almanac has to say about the coming winter for the US, I found this:

Frigid 2010 Forecast: How Cold will the Winter Weather Be?
Old Man Winter doesn't want to give up his frigid hold just yet, but his hold will mostly be in the middle of the country.

According to the 2010 Farmers' Almanac, this winter will see more days of shivery conditions: a winter during which temperatures will average below normal for about three-quarters...

Melbourne Cup

feeds@yuku.com (Oz Greg) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:34:28 GMT

Does it get much exposure other than in Australia. For us Melbournians it's a public holiday. Personally, I would'nt know one end of a horse from the other. In the past I have been in Melbourne Cup sweeps usually from my workplace at the time. It will be the busiest day of the year for the betting agencies. Last weekend I rode past Flemington Racetrack and watched some of the people arriving to the...
