Adoption: The “She’s not my real mother” edition

I’m the first person to admit that I have some extremely firm opinions on the subject of adoption.  This is not odd, given that I am adopted.  I guess you could say I have a vested interest in the subject.
Two things happened this past week that has given me cause to write this post.  The first [...]

Here We Go Again – Oh Crap! We Lost Whorely! (23)

Friday 7 November 2009
By the time Joders gets inside her bedroom and closes the door behind herself, her stomach is turning somersaults again.  But not in a good way.
Joders:  Crap, crap, crappity crap!  How could I have been so stupid?  I can’t even justify it by saying I was thinking with my dick.  Because I [...]

Motivational Thought for the Day

This little animal is called the Naked Mole Rat and is from North Africa.
So whenever you’re having a bad day and feeling sorry for yourself, remember this…

And a couple of other things….

I’ve spoken about some of my colleagues before.  I can honestly say (except for one idiot bloke in my team) I really like everybody I work with.
Today’s stories involve Tess (who got married a few months ago) and Nat.
Sandra, one of our workmates (and mum to a 14 year old and a 7 year old) [...]

Just a couple of things

It was my Aunty Marj’s 82nd birthday on Sunday.  On Saturday about 25 of her friends and relatives went out to lunch with her at the local Bowling Club.
For those of you who don’t know, a bowling club is a club with bowling greens for lawn bowls.  Inside there is usually a few bars, poker machines [...]

Here We Go Again – Ooops! We did it! (22)

5 November 2008 – Late Afternoon
It is late afternoon when Joders is finally finished with her personal business.  She drives her gleaming, black, hybrid Lexus 4 Wheel Drive into the private undergound car park and brings the vehicle to a smooth stop in her private car space.
Today has been an emotionally draining day and although [...]

Here We Go Again – Trying to Save Whorely (21)

US Election Day – 4 November 2008
For the first few days of November Joders, Anners and Wanda take turns in keeping an eye on Whorely.  Even Jennifer and Daners lend a hand.
The Whorely Trinitas agree that even though each of them wouldn’t mind at least 36 minutes with Whorelando, now is not the time to take [...]

It could only happen in Australia – the chapter about kangaroos

Yeah, I know.  I have kangaroos in the bushland behind my house.
Yeah, I know.  I’ve told you some kinda wild stories about my kangaroos.
Yeah, I know.  I’ve shown you some cool photos of my kangaroos.
But nothing, and I do mean nothing, I could ever tell you will equal the story I am just about to [...]

Who needs Whorelando when I’ve got an Orlando of my own (and a Marvin for good measure)?

On the first day of my cruise I wondered (briefly) how I was going to get on without my daily dose of Whoreland0 (aka the Randy and Landy Show).
I discovered very quickly that I was going to be shut off from the world.  Without global roaming on my mobile phone I had no mobile phone [...]

Oh Noes! My Life is Over Part II!
