Caryl

I have been away for 10 days so just catching up on all the posts! An article, no matter how short, would be appreciated whetu, along with pics. My email is in my profile (or the button at the bottom of my posts). I found 4 PM notifications but only 1 message in my inbox so I wonder if you have sent it as a PM but I haven't received it?

Have avoided ditches so far and am in Queenstown. If anyone wants to see the pics... http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v144/carylnz/ go to Silver Fern rally 08. Note there is a sub album in there too. Most of the pics are scenery as we travel ahead of the cars checking the road is clear. We were at the finish of stage 6 though so there are some cars at the end!!

Off on the Silver Fern Car Rally. See you next week (maybe) 8) :bounce:

Another thread got a bit off topic when talking about loving meeces to pieces :lol: What cartoon characters did you like as a kid? I remember Touche Turtle! and Squiddly Diddly. Of course in my day Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters were king. When my kids were little we watched Danger Mouse and his sidekick Penfold (hamster) fight the evil Silas Greenback (a frog) and others. Fraggles, Dinoriders. Remember The Pink Panther and Snagglepuss? Secret Squirrel and Morocco Mole?

The two things you need to look out for are algae and snails. Melafix won't do a thing for plants. You can dip them in potassium permanganate but I don't know the dosage.

Is one of the other fish bullying them? It can be a sign of submission I think.

Phoenix are you referring to kids or birds? :lol:

I believe it is; God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and the abilty to hide the bodies of those who have p**ed me off!

Others have had a similar problem. I think it eventually goes away :-?

I would offer to transport them Dixon but not sure I will have time on this trip. Plus they would get a wild ride! :lol:

It means they have had a good feed of brine shrimp?

About time Marty! We will be in Dunedin Saturday 18th and Monday 20th nights passing through with the Silver Fern Rally. No time to visit and see the new set-up

At least a replacement will be better quality than the one you broke, and a lot cheaper

It has probably buggered the lens. Contact Sony and ask but I think it would be cheaper to replace it. That model is the one older than mine I think and mine is 4 years old so repair will most likely be uneconomical.

One small snail or a mossie larva

Amazonian makes his own and does a very nice job of them too!

Has a newsletter gone out yet as I don't seem to have one? Apologies from Grant and I please as we will be in Queenstown (I think) or somewhere down south with the Silver Fern Car Rally.

Hi and welcome. There is always someone with an answer to your questions - plus other who will disagree with them :lol:

Yeah. WE WANT PHOTOS!!! :bounce: Thinking of you all.

There seem to be quite a few who do understand the basics of the game. The idea is to ask one question which requires a yes or no answer. Only after the answer has been posted should someone ask another question.

ME!! :lol:

Sorry to hear that Sophie. We should have asked you what size the tank and fish were and how long it had been set up. That might have given us more clues.

Hey at least I had removed the original contents! 8)

Daughter Kelly bought one of those magnetic catflaps for her cat. The cat gets a magnetic collar so only it can get in or out of the catflap. He got stuck today - to the rail of the metal bunk set :lol:

Grant just booked a motel we had previously spent one night in 2 years ago on the previous rally. The man said "Oh yes, you do the communications with the car rally don't you?" He had remembered him (he also remembered another Ham who had also contacted them to book a room again). On a similar note to Stella. Do you know what sort of looks you get from young (and they are all a LOT younger than me these days) policeman when you go to report your bag stolen and he asks you to describe it so you say "It was a black shoulder bag with D-Vice Designer Sex Gear written on it" :roll:
