The second one made me smile. I'm having trouble reconciling myself to the first one.

How wonderful, Brenda. Thank you for putting this in so we all can read it. I think women are wonderful whether they are fat, thin or otherwise. They fit so much in their day. Now my children have grown I wonder how I did it all. All the best to you and all the other women in the world.

Thanks Laurel! Your words are so very true!
Just noticing that there have been some quotes put up here, thought I'd add this, given today's news:"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. " - Steve Jobs

This was incredibly moving and meant so much to so many. He was a true genius and will be missed by a huge amount of people. RIP Steve Jobs!

@Brenda- Yus! And some Toblerone triangle pack things. I need to put them out of my sight though..lolOoo..Mangos are so yummy..They've been on sale at Coles/Woolies lately 2 for $5 but independant shops have been selling them for under $2 a piece which is pretty dope considering they are usually like $3 or $4 when new for the season..Atleast they are here but not this year! :D
As long as you like mangos michael we can let it slide :)

Another great thing about living in paradise, R2E2 mangos, Dimbulah sweet black grapes, Tableland strawberries, Honey dew mellon, pink lady apple & of course chocolate chock coated ice cream..Mmmmmm!!! bought a heap of this fruit, some vege’s & spuds for around $15.00 (-:
Mod
Ooooooooooo...that fruit dish looks so good!Woolies had half price magnums last week..*drools* Thankfully only 4 in a packet or 6 if you get minis! They are so so good and only as a treat maybe once or twice a year for me..haha.
Hey everyone, after 8 joyous days of basking in the magnificent Queensland sun, Im back home with a shocking sun burn. Holiday was magnificent up at Palm Cove, days lazing around the pool(s) at our resort on the beach. Also, the Great Barrier Reef was the most incredible thing in the world. So yeah, I'll spend the next day or so catching up on everything Ive missed :)
Yep, not too bad up here eh Jess, I do 'put up' with it LOL!!!
Thank you for the comments about the fruit, the only thing really missing was the nanna's & Laura that's what the icecream is (-:
Mod
Welcome back Jess! Great that you had such a lovely holiday..sorry you got bad sunburn! Naughty girl, should have 'slip, slop, slapped'...;D

Yes, Laura, and I love Magnums also....didn't buy any, cos then I'd eat them.....lol
I'm so jealous of that fruit. Down here we are still stuck on last years apples, last years kiwifruit, mandarins are well over and oranges have been pretty sparse. I suppose there are always bananas. Avocadoes and asparagus just started tho - mmmm
Oh, I just noticed my review of 'The Power of Six' now has over 100 likes. This makes me happy :)
My daughter had her wisdom teeth out on Monday and seems to be doing remarkably well. Ate a toasted sandwich a few hours afterwards! Not much swelling, no bleeding, all good. But today she is aching.
Mod
Great news she is doing well Maggie! Tell her to keep the panadol up for the aching...
Mod
Thought you were getting yours out on the 19th October Michael?

Mod

You're exactly right there Amber, so many people who are a little larger than the 'correct' size are picked on, and made to feel inferior! I think this sends an important message.

That's where I got it from Megan, facebook:)
