11/8/2009 My Whinges!The last month we started showerly weather for couple of weeks But we don't complained about that.
 Our dams are higher than at this time last year.
 Now we have hot weather these days and we have complaining it's too hot.
 Roses are today the stars of the horticultural world having survived the long drought and the appalling heat,
but over 30 Degrees Celsius temperature for a weeks not good news.
 Melbourne weather's are it mostly beautiful because even that hot weather 35c or 40c we have then after evening time coming down the temperature 17c or more,I could stopped used air condition and very seldom keeps hot in the night.
Stop backseat driving! My friend has complained for when I used a brakes just before the red light( I don't slam down the brakes)
 then she said I would touch the brakes for couple metre away from the red light. that I will resent very much and I was going said that case next time "you drive yourself" But I didn't said to her.
This was a last week I invited my friends in my house when my gardens are pretty times lol!
there I went to shopping at the Chinese shops and I look around to get all items which I writtin down a piece paper for I need to cook.
 A ladys coming to help me...she said this is a not good for you "too much MSG in the items"
 I just can't get what I need them well! I have problem whether she said I don't appreciated that at all "Thankless" then I walked out the shop then go to the next shops.After couple days late I hear about that ladys was just help for the days in the shops.
 The messanger: Why we have that? it to me pretty eye sore view! I'd rather not have in my space ONLY my family or few friends.I felt good now!
 Thank you for read this my friends.   10/31/2009 Whither the garden?Living in Australian suburbia has traditionally meant livining in house with a garden.
The new outer suburban developments are located on the fringes of urban development,where the land is cheap but the blocks are comparatively small.There few gardens to be seen.The front "yard"comes for anything but the smalest backyard.
The houses have no eves so they can be placed closer together and most require air-conditioners to counter the intensity of the western sun which comes unfiltered by trees or absobed by greenery.
These suburban developments represent a dramatic change in the experience of subrban living.Without a garden,there is no space for children to play outside and they must be taken,usually driven,to other locations for their outdoor recreation
there is hardly space for barbecue.
The severe 10 year drought which has ravaged much of south -eastern Australia has taken a different kind of toll on the garden of that region. Water restictions have forced gardens to make choices about which plants they will try to save.
Some people are installing rainwater tanks in to have their own water supply and thus maintain their own vision for their garden.
I had received my water bill yesterday it shows FIRST TIME 130 Litres used and same time last year 172.Quarterly account)This time "hardly used water" because we did had a showerly weather for a month.
I needs to carfully replants for scorching weather to come?
This is an importants meassage to my dear friends: I REGRET for invited my friends in here today Temper 19c-30c Celsios.
what are we going to do with Miss Catts Sis? awhile we are going to the beach? she has a lot of fur then she need to be stayed indoors otherwise she will be get sunburnt?
though probability they will be not far away from here... 10/24/2009 Try 50, fit & fabulous.Life after 50 delivers the best birthday present of all-happiness - as more women enjoy deeper relationships and surer sense of self.
One of the best things about it is that you know more,that you're often wiser and you have more control...you can make choices.
Recent research by Melbourne psychologist Dr Amanda Deeks has found that in areas such as body image,intimate relationships,career and friendsships,many women over 50 are happier than they were earlier in their lives and we are NOT GRUMPY OLD WOMEN...
Getting older is for many women a positive time of taking stock of their lives and feeling in control.
Many women aged 50 and over feel freed from social pressures such as fixation on appearance."Women say,I've spent enough of my life worrying about my body image,now when I think about my body it's more about maintaining good health".
Women are also motivated by the sense that they have a finite time left."I might have 30 or 35 years left and I want to do with those years what I want to do.I've spent a lot of years prioritising other people's needs,and now it is my turn."
 Older women continue to worry a lot about their children and grandchildren and ageing parents, often contributing financially to their adult children, for example with unpaid child care,free accommodation or cash towards things such as a deposit for a home or school fees.
The massive study has found that older women often score higher on measures of positive mental health.For example,they are less likely to suffer stress and depression than younger counterparts. Michiko says(I still suffer stress and depression likes younger women, perphaps my mental age is under 50?
My friends: Have a lovely weekend with your loved ones,
10/17/2009 Smack child with wooden spoon.The last Thursday morning that the victorian police are to investigate each of smacking brought to their attention and then dicide on what action they are going to take on each casses merits.
The victorian woman has been questioned by police and threatend to be charged with a assault after hitting her 9 year old daughter with a wooden spoon.
I think too much one way to protect child?
Children and teenagers today do not konw what consequences are due to this.
Also there is a big difference between a smack on the BOTTOM and BASHING.
The kids get away with too much these day. A little discipline is a good thing and kids need to know RIGHT from WRONG.
I had been chase with a broom for my son's when their were naughty boys lol!
The weather:As same showerly everyday BUT NO COMPLAINT for that our water's situation are getting better.
ATTENTION: My friend Arla IN FLORIDA...USA She has been a little depression about her space and she has wrote to said "GOOD BYE" on her space because NOBODY VISITS.
If you have a few minutes "Please visit her space to just say "hello"

Thank you my dear friend Shelly! 10/3/2009 It's about timeWorking parents fret about the hours they spend away from their children,But how do the Kids feel about it?
Dr Jennifer Baxter from the Australian Institute of Family Studies says the US eveidence supports Australian reseach that shows no durect cause and effect link between
mothers and fathers working and the developmental outcomes of chiledren.
The women are more highly educated these days and get a lot of pleasure out of work.It's an important part of their lives. It's similar for fathers."Mothers, in particular, says Baxter. do whatever they can do their childre aren't missing out, such as managing their work arrangements so they can be there at crucial times.
The large proportion of children wanted their parents to be less stressed when they were at home.Crucially,this was more importants to them than the amount of
parents spent with them. Quality rather than quantity was what mattered to children,it seemed.
What children think about their parents'attempts to find a work-life balance.
Darcy Bourke, 6 years says.
"Dad leaves for work before I get up,but Mum comes home last.
Mum goes overseas more than I do.
I think she should work about the same,as we wouldn't get much money[if she didn't],
so it wouldn't be very good.I'd like Dad to work about the same,too,
but I'd I like him to do a different job.
Last year he was the coach for my football team,but not this year.
I want him to have more time to do sport with me.If Mum was at home all the time,
I'd like to play on the DS or Wil with her-but not Hot Wheels,it's too hard for
her. Sometimes at school I miss my mum and dad.
On Mondays Wednesday and Thursdays I go to aftercare but on fridays Mum picks me up.
I'd like everyday to be Friday." Poor kid!
Lana Moody, 9 yaers says.
"Mum might work late or on weekends, Recently she went away for three nights and
my sister Ava and I missed her a whole lot. We would keep ringing every night.
Reading together is what I miss most when Mum's away. Dad's here
but she helps me better with my homework because Dad's doing paperwork to do with his job." Sorry little girl!
I picked two childrens from the six of childrens.
I thought of these childrens that when they reached an adult ages,
then they didn't have nice memory of their childfood?
I think it most our generation have had a warmth beautiful childfood?
In back days just simple way of life too.
It's nice to have money but they don't last longtime as precious in memory of between the child and
parents with their family.
9/26/2009 Right things to do!No Matter what kind of life you live we wanted a SINMPLER LIFE how could we?
I am finding my rutine are hard to follow.
MY PHILOSOPHY NOW ON LIFE WOULD BE TO DO EVERYTHING. YOU CAN. DON"T HOLD BACK.DON"T OVER DO IT, NEVER HOLD BACK OUT OF FEAR OF WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK.
But last Monday I did over played golf for 24 holes(normally 18 holes) 8-30 am to 2-30pm.
 what happent was my friend rang me to said that she 'll be late there I started with other friends to six holes then finish off with my regular friend.
I REALLY ENJOYED (played very well) regetfully not on the competition day.
and I forgot about my bad back lol!After that night I was very concerned about at night that even at middle of night I just moving around my back to see it still okay?
I never forgot about in back middle of last Dcember that I have had damage my back from triming back my English Box in the garden
Then I am getting back to normal from last month.
How SILLY WOMAN! I was just lucky to nothing to happent in my back. "Thank god!" I WOULD NEVER DO THAT AGAIN. 9/19/2009 Pedophile Ferguson Can't be forced out.The 62 years old was jailed for 14 years in 1988 in Brisbane for KIDNAPPING abd SEXUALLY MOLOSTING for KIDNAPPING and SEXUALLY MOLESTING THREE CHILDREN.
 A mother of two young boys Robyn Smith said she felt sick when she saw the convicted Pedophile in the nighbourhood.
I cannot believe they've put this Mr Ferguson in a street full of children that has bushland and he lives at the of end of the street resident Sean Killgallon said.
Housing Minister David Borger says he does not believe the family suburb is an appropriate location for Mr Ferguson and he has instructed his department to take action. Mr Ferguson would be out of the suburb by the end of the day But his supportrs say it might not that easy.
 Residents at last night's gathering said this is just something the govenment,the department,have to investigate. he does'nt deserve to live in society-he deserves to be outcast for the rest of his life??
Ferguson has told ABC that any attempt to remove him will be costly and that will seek substantial compensation.
he said he wants to see the money before he leaves the unit.
Ferguson yesterday AGREE to LEAVE HIS Ryde FLAT beacuse of local anger but he is reserving his right return.
 The housing Departments has confirmed Ferguson's LEASE is for FIVE YEARS.
 Ferguson said he moved the Ryde unit two weeks ago because he was sick and tired of being pushed around QUEENSLAND and that he thought it would be a fresh start.
I can understand that for the neighbourfood are complained about that and I'd be concerned for my grandchildren too.
Law change to allow Ferguson eviction.
the public housing lease Cancelled.
9/13/2009 Future Perfect?In a world obsessed with appearance,where are we to agening and beauty? A plastic surgeon ethicist,AD man and politician discuss the issue with broadcaster.
There is nothing new about beauty being aspirational; that been going on as long as we've walked on earth But does advertising use that to sell? Yes.
Even with experiments with babies they discovered babies can tell who is beautiful and We are all born to respond to in positive way.
So beauty isn't in the eye of that beholder! And the feminist ethos of being judged for who you are,that goes against the forces of nature?
The feminist idea is about saying it shouldn't be any different for wormen than men. Soon,thanks to advertisers,we won't be. Initialy,it was wormen who were told something's wrong with us can we be sold stuff.Now advertisers realise men are just as fertile ground.
That's very true "Because you're worth it" is now articulated by men in advertising.
There are people who shouldn't be having surgery. There are people who shouldn't be providing it.You can only be the best doctor you can.
So you never sell an operation off the rack you have to ask,"Why now? people often seek advice when they are distressed a relationship break-up,when people turn 50,martal stress, loneliness,job insecurity, financial stress.
Here's a good one- the day people wake up and see one of their parents in their face.
Ageing is a big one for wormen. Men age, and they may not like what it does,but they realise there are other reasons people are still attracted to them - money,status,But because wormen end-up less often with those things,they are more likely to focus on their looks and think.
The plastic surgeon said" I have concerns about the expectations of the patient,because they are not realistic.This is their version of normal-perfect breasts that they think are droopy Because they've never seen a normal breat. What about their their mothers?
Ashuman been has changed their body shape and face it most of everything as they can to better looking or sexey...
A back of years my mum said "it doesn't matter that how people looks it's important in their inside hearts. I 'd said half & half.
Although I really enjoy to see my children's face which I can seen in myself or my hubby's.
9/5/2009 The Migration taleToday is a beautiful spring weather and I'm on the computer for my regularly postinggggg..
 About every two minites Australia gains another migrant.Australia's population growth of 1.9 per cent last year was one of the highst in the world.TEN YEARS AGO 18.5million AND NOW 22.8 million.
 Over the past 10 years permanent migration has more doubled from 98,538 annually to 219,098. Add to that,more than 65,000 temporary migrants have arrived in Australia this year. They were comprised of more than 100,000 skilled workers on 457 visas,more than 320,000 foreign students and more than 187,000 people on working holidays. Many temporary migrants can then apply for permanent residency.
Without those extra 400,000 people who came into the coutry,it's quite likely that our aggregate economic growth would have been NEGATIVE.
 The results are all around us,A recession we technically didn't have a gravity defying housing market, extensions to Melbourne's urban boundaries,a vibrant CBD but with TRANSPORT,SHORTAGE OF WATER and other infranstructure groaning under the wight of the biggest influx of migrants since World War II.
The question we need to ask ourselves is do we want economic growth or do we want a good quality of life? Those two things are not the same thing.
As a nation we are jeopardising all the things we love about living in Australia.
If we do have to have significant numbers of migrants,we have to have strong ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES.
The Father's days on this Sunday. 06-09.(Australia) I hope all Father's enjoy with your families.
 To my friends: Enjoy your weekends.
