Hi, Jane, another Aussie! There aren’t many, I’m afraid. Welcome to WdC I hope you enjoy the ride. I have two adult family members in Queensland. My daughter lives in Cairns and my son in Bloomfield, very remote. We’re in Perth, WA
I hope to read some of your portfolio when I have a chance. Please feel free to pop in and check out mine.
Cheers Sue
Nope, don't think I would do that. I have been to Niagara Falls and that water is so bloody strong and the drop!! No thank you!!! Beautiful to look at though.
I am a bit the same. Those movies you mentioned such as Saw and Chainsaw Massacre I couldn't watch those. However I love things like Monster series on Netflix and just watched The Ed Gein Story and loved it. Which is strange to say but I think for me the real life horror is more psychology type thing. Why are these people the way they are?
I flip flop back between do I believe people are born evil or is it their environment etc.
In Ed's case I think that his mother and father had mental issues which can be hereditary, so most likely he had mental issues when he was born and then his upbringing with parents, especially his mother manifested those mental issues. It maybe could have been different had his issues been picked up when he was younger and helped. He eventually was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Anyway, probably didn't want to read all that ha ha ha.
Our world is so dependent on the internet and electricity, it would be utter chaos and dangerous. I can't imagine hos much crime would take place in a world like that.
I have 3 beautiful golden retrievers and one of them is 14.5 years old. She came along at a time in my life I didn't know I needed her and changed it completely. My love for this dog is expotential. I'm not saying I don't love my other two just the same, but Bindi and I have shared a very special journey together and when she is no longer with me I know my life will never be the same, but I know she gave me a life I never knew I needed or wanted. Her gift to me can never be outdone and every day I have left with her is extra special.
I hear you about all the hair, the dirty paw prints, the nose art etc, but without all of those things I would not have my furkids and so I will put up with them and hopefully many more in the life I have left.
I am so sorry for you loss, it is a deep sadness only the love of our furry companions can cause because they are all so special.
Prompt: Right as rain. Write about this term in your Blog entry today.
This saying was commonly used in my family as I was growing up. I actually have no idea of its origin or meaning. All I knew was it meant everything was alright. I’m trying to think of in what context it was said. Maybe it was in reply to the question “how are you today?” My dad would reply “right as rain, thank you.”
I just looked up the meaning but it seems there is none! Originated in the UK that would explain it being very normal to me as I was born in 1944 in England and it would have been in common usage then.
Anyway, I actually like the saying and may well start using it.
