Roz, I'm jelous! Enjoy.

[Peggy]

My holidays have started too, on Friday. Also, I've been sick since Friday. Great.

[Shirley]

Oh no, get well soon.

[Margo]

Just stopping by to say quick hi. I've been under the weather for the past week. On antibiotics and steroids and they curing the infection but making me feel rotten. We've all had it one by one! My mum is not in great health at the best of times. My aunt in the west in in hospital with serious chest infection. I'm back to life a bit today so I'm going to attempt some baking. I have never had so little done for Christmas but as long as we are all health I'll be happy.

Any news on Lisa?

@Rusalka, how are you doing? News from Auss is grim.

Hope everything else is doing well. No time to read all posts I've missed.

[Peggy]

Hope you feel better soon Margo!

[Janice, Moderator]

Hope you feel better soon, Margo. It's a bad time of year to be sick.

We've haven't heard from Lisa in a while.

[Sandra, Moderator]

Feel better, Margo!

Still no word from Lisa...

[Peggy]

I hope she's okay... I think she has some health issues and it's not like her to just disappear.

[Lisa]

Hi all!

Just popped in to let you know that I'm okay and to explain a bit about why I've not been around for a few weeks.

Unfortunately my pre-existing health issues have flared up really badly this past month or so and I have not been in a good place because of that. A few other things have gone wrong as well that I won't go into detail about on here, which have all added to my stress levels, and as a result my reading has been non existent for a while now and I haven't been online much at all. The good news is things are hopefully starting to turn around, I'm beginning a new pain management and treatment plan in January which will hopefully help me to get back on track a bit health wise.

Thank you all so much for your concern. It means a lot 🙂. I will hopefully return to YLTO in the new year.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas (if you celebrate it) and a Happy New Year 🎄🍾 See you all in 2020! ❤️

[Peggy]

I'm SO glad to hear from you Lisa! Sorry to hear you were going through a rough time, but it sounds like the worst is over. Take care of yourself!

[Kristie, Moderator]

Hi, Lisa! I hope things turn around quickly for you and that your new pain management and treatment plan work well. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too! We look forward to seeing you around soon. :)

[Sandra, Moderator]

Lisa! So good to hear from you! I hope everything starts to improve and you feel as good as new soon. Take care!

It's good to hear you're OK Lisa but I was hoping that it wasn't health issues that were keeping away. So glad they put pain management plan in place soon. That should improve your quality of life no end (based on my own experience though I know your issues are more complex).

Hope you are able to enjoy Christmas a bit <3

[Janice, Moderator]

Big hugs, Lisa. Here's hoping that the new pain management will improve things for you.

Hope you’re feeling better now, Margo. Enjoy your Christmas holiday.

[Sarah]

Good to hear from om you Lisa. Thanks for the update. Sorry to hear things haven't been too good with you. Hoping you're coming out the other side of it now and that the propsed treatment options make an impact. All the best for Christmas and New Year.

[Sarah]

Just noticed I missedd your semi retirement messga Roz. Enjoy!

[Sarah]

Hoping you and your family start feeling better Margo so that you can enjoy a bit of Christmas .

[Kristie, Moderator]

Terrible timing for you all to be ill, Margo. I hope you’re feeling better quickly.

[Travis]

Long time no posting. I've been busy. I meant to stop by and tell about the school play my son was in. They did Madagascar. It was for grades 3-6 and I went with low expectations and those kids did phenomenal. I was mind blown and not just the kids but the teachers who worked to get the kids to that point amazing.

Then I wanted to refurbish my wife's grandfather's rifle to give my son for Christmas. About 3 weeks and 150 hours of YouTube how to do this that and the other thing to firearms it's done.

Now just busy with work and Christmas. And my idea of I have an idea for some changes on the farm but I'm gonna wing it rather than make a plan was maybe not the best idea. I mean choosing no plan is still a plan of sorts. I probably won't be around much in the future either I really have to finish my no plan plan. Long story short. I'm over stocked and need to move animals to our other barn that's been vacant for years and a whole bunch of animals are about to have babies and I have way too much left to do and pretty sure they're just gonna pop those babies when they feel like it with complete disregard to my readiness. Lol. The nerve.

[Travis]

I'm pretty excited for Christmas. First I found, not sure what I was originally shopping for, a reindeer mankini with jungle bells on it and a santa hat. About 5 am I'm putting it on and waking my wife up for presents. I'm gonna find it hilarious. She will probably wonder how she married me or why lol

Then you know the shirts that have the body of whatever and you put them on and they make you look like whatever it is. Well I found this one that's like a bad ass biker santa. Santa has a shirt ripped down the front with his hairy chest and abs showing and has a bunch of tattoos and stuff. I haven't even told my wife I bought this. I'm gonna put it on and wear a sweatshirt. Then about the time they say gather around the table for Grace at my 90 year old grandma's house I'm gonna take off the sweatshirt and just act normal standing for Grace and when everyone lifts their head and opens their eyes there I'll be bad ass biker Santa Travis

Merry Christmas and a Happy holidays whatever you celebrate everyone.

[Janice, Moderator]

ROFL! Travis, how we've missed you! We're going to want pictures of the table at Granny's - not the reindeer mankini. Spare us that, please!

[Peggy]

Hahahaha Travis, you're hilarious! Please let us know how it all worked out! :D

[Peggy]

The games cartridge sounds super fun, Roz! Particularly with nostalgia added. And my Mum goes on all the time about how busy she is now she's retired, at least they are things that she wants to do now.

And grats as well! Sounds like you have lots of interesting plans ahead :D

Last I saw 30% increased admissions on respiratory issues in NSW. My stepfather has issues with asthma, but hasn't been too bad but mum says he's guzzling ventolin. The worst is those people who don't even know they have asthma or the like. I heard of one guy the other day about our age who had his first attack with this air, and passed away.

They are making the sports players play in it too. I saw the women's soccer the other day in Adelaide (also on fire), and the medical staff were forcing ventolin into them to help them keep playing. One ref had to be taken off with 5 mins to go as she couldn't breathe anymore. Crazy.

[Rusalka, Moderator]

Hope you guys feel better soon, Peggy and Margo. And horrible you're whole family is down sick too Margo.

We've opened the windows tonight for the first time since we returned from the coast. The air quality is supposed to be horrendous again tomorrow afternoon, but we are taking our chances now with it at AQI 100 ish.

Shirley sounds like she got a downpour of rain this evening, which is great! We're still dry down here. Fires are a bit more under control I think, but still. They're reporting 90+ homes burnt in the north of Adelaide. My stepfather's niece (my brother's cousin) had the flames up to her door there. Saved the house, but garden is no more. But that's much easier to replace.

Looks like about 48000 km2 burnt so far this season. We have 3+ months to go. That's more than Denmark, but less than Slovakia.

Really good to hear from you Lisa! Sorry to hear you've had issues with your health and other life things. Hope you have a great Chrissy and 2020 is heaps better, and you're able to pop in and join us a bit more :D

[Rusalka, Moderator]

Lol Travis. I agree with everyone about your Christmas "surprises". Sounds fantastic, but you can keep the mankini to yourself. Although I can't wait to hear how your wife reacts lol.

And those animals! With a mind of their own and no consideration! Good luck with all your plans and work. I saw the split pipe the other day, which doesn't sound like its helping. Sounds like your place is going well though, even with all the work. Let us know how you're doing when you can, and what you've been listening too while you've been doing all this work.

[MinervaMG]

Merry Christmas to all of you guys!

[Sarah]

I'm pleased you're able to get some air tonight Rusalka . I hope it does the ticket ahead of tomorrow .

You crack me up Travis . So good to hear from you! And yes, I'd love to know how your Christmas attire goes down.

Merry christmas everyone !

[mars]

I was carving a back tooth on a soap block. Shit's harder than it seems on tutorials, and easier to mess up, sheesh

Also merry christmas to everyone

I did a double take on your comment, mars. The only teeth being carved in soap that I was aware of was when a parent washed out a kid's mouth with soap for swearing. But then I went to your profile and saw that you have aspirations for dentistry. All's good. Carve away! :)

[Janice, Moderator]

It's Christmas Eve - I'm ready for Christmas and playing the music of the season. Shocker. :)

Merry Christmas everyone!

[Cherie]

I've missed you, Travis. I hope all of you non plans for the animals goes well and your Christmas attire is a hit. Congratulations to your son on his acting debut.

Hope you start feeling better Margo and Lisa.

I am getting ready to go to AmyK's apartment for Christmas Eve dinner. I have been at work doing a few last minute things, but it is pretty quiet here now.

Merry Christmas all!

[Shirley]

Happy holidays everyone. Whatever you do, wherever you are, whoever you’re with, be safe, happy and fulfilled ... and ready for a brand new year. Bring on all the Yays and Nays (for me, mostly Nays) of the Twisted Trivia Challenge and the bookish friendships of YLTO in 2020.

[Sandra, Moderator]

Happy holidays everyone!!

Have fun Cherie.

[Roz]

Happy holidays to all of you! Enjoy your families, sing lots of songs, good food and joy. You have an interesting take on the holiday, Travis.
I hope you're feeling better Margo and Lisa.

I started checking out my new "old" games. This is going to take a lot of practice, years of it I think. I remember being better at some of the games, even beating some.

[Rusalka, Moderator]

Merry Christmas to all!

Whether you have celebrated or not, hung out with family and friends, or had a quiet day at home. Hope you all had a lovely day. Stay safe if you're travelling too!

[Margo]

Happy Christmas all :-D

[Travis]

Merry Christmas!

The mankini was freaking hilarious. My wife about died laughing

The shirt was actually santa coming off a bender and I never noticed it had a green thong sticking out the back and a paddle that said naughty. The front had a little puke on the shoulder a rip in the shirt and a flask in the belt. And being I'm not good with photos it's my new profile pic
