Wow I just looked at my sheild and I have two stripes woo hoo....I am Excited YAY Now I have to go and edit the sheild advice hehehe...

Well this week has been a rough one...But it still has its bonuses...Every cloud has a silver lining they say...Well I started the week with chicken pox for Shyenne she had them last week and then Corrie woke up one morning with some little sores all over him OOPs chicken poc all round...He got a really bad case of them they were in his hair his ears and even on his feet...Poor little fella...we have dealt with it pretty well but I got a sick as well with a flu and had lost my voice for a couple of days but have slowly got it back it is still croaky...Then yesterday morning Nikita got up with a little red spot on her forehead and by the afternoon she had them all over her as well...Oh dear why couldn't they get them all at the same time...Then last night as I was in the bath...I found a red spot on my leg...Then this morning there was spots on my belly and aon my arms and even behind my ears...Oh dear I have already had chicken pox...3 times the doctor says the problem is that when i seem to get them I only get a small dose each time so all up I have 13 chicken pox so again I have not even got a good dose....Geez just what I needed...Oh Monday I went up to the shop at the top of the range to grab a few things and as i came around the corner to go up the hill to come home the car coughed and barked and then cut out....It would not start at all...No matter how hard I tried...So I waited 2 and a half hours for the racq to come and see what was wrong with it...They came and called the tow truck to tow it away then I had to catch a cab to get home...Geez...The mechanic rang to tell us that it would be $460 to fix it thank you very much....Great...So we went in today to pick it up as they said it would be ready today and guess what a piece had not come in so we paid for it and bought it home still not running properly and we have to take it back when the part comes in...So here I sit spotty typing away as I realise it could have been worse...I could have gotten such a bad dose of chicken poc that I couldnt function or OMG couldnt get on MINTI...LOL and the car could have cost 4460 LOL....So I am looking on the bright side of life right now....I am staying inside but LOL seems from the news tonight that Toowoomba was minus 9 last night!!!!!!!!....Thought it was colder than normal LOL...Till next time guys take care....

Okay I might not know how to spell it But I sure do know what it is...i have never been one to be scared of what I have to say on things and to judge anything or anyone on their opinions...But you know what really irks me but in a way i think its funny...The people who hide behind the vote low with no comment...They know what they are doing...I would rather have someone vote my article down and leave their thougths and feelings and give reasons why than vote it down because I wrote it...This is how I see it...If there is no comment left then you are voting either on who wrote it...Or you are too scared to voice your own opinions for the world to see... so it looks to me and alot of other adults that it is just to give you satisfaction that you have marked someone down and hidden like a little kid that knows they have done wrong and thinks they have gotten away with it..LOL...I then go into my comments on ym article and someone has marked down a perfectly good comment for no reason...The only reason I can see they have is because of who wrote it...So this is my reasoning on this subject and the last I will say on it......

MARK ME DOWN ON STARS AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE BECAUSE YOU DONT LIKE ME I DONT CARE.....A VOTE IS A VOTE NO MATTER WHAT THE SCORE...IT STILL GOES TO THE END TOTAL AT THE END OF THE DAY...I KNOW I WRITE FROM THE HEART AND I KNOW NOT ALL OF US AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT BUT IF YOU WANT TO MARK ME A 1 2 OR 3 LEAVE A COMMENT GO ON I DARE YA LOL

Sorry if this blog seems childish to some but it will hit the people who it is intented for and might make them think next time they think they are getting someone back....

Have a great day all and the peoeple this is meant for they know who they are

Hi all It is great seeing the series we started going sooo well but I thought I would write a blog about it....When I thought about starting this series I thought we could do it this way through emailing 2 people and go on like that...We can still do that but if you are busting to write about your town this is the email....

Hi there

I am starting a new series on Minti and thought it would be fun to get to know each other and to get to know the towns we live in...We all like holidays and if people can write an article about the place they live in and publish it on Minti it will benifit all of us and will make a great series for those who are travelling to another state or even country...This will also help us to get to know each other better as well..And give us something to write about that we know about, our own town...I think as you write your acticle it would be a good idea to link the articles together but if there is a lot of people who choose to participate then linking them by state is a better idea...My article is the first up and it is now live and I have chosen you and another person to do one also...Can you please participate in this and if not let me know so I can make sure this goes to another person so that we have a couple of articles going up at a time...Come on this will be fun...call your article Holidaying in ________? What to do in my town sop that they all look like they belong to the same series...Most of all enjoy bragging about your own town...After you have written you article send out two invites just cupy and paste this to two more members whoever you like and sned it off but make sure if they tell you they can't or are not comfortable that you send someone else an invite...Lets keep this going and keep Minti a fun friendly and informative place for all....

Cheers..

Please feel free to do one about your town without an invite for sure but If people when they do do theirs please email other to keep it going...Glad everyone enjoys and can see the great things to do in their towns....

Well as most of you knwo I live in Toowoomba....It was raining this morning as it has been all night and this is great for my tanks because we are on tank water and we need it....My eldest son came to me this morning and asked if he gave me fuel money if I can give him a lift to his mate place...I told him when I get off the phone to Tassie...He said okay...So I got in the car thinking hmm it is foggy out there...Maybe it is just on the range...We are on the side of it so this often is the reason we have fog still...Or its low cloud(I am happy still)..I drove up the range part up onto the main road which I had to travel along to go to his mates...There I nearly had an accident because someobody thought it wasn't necessary to drive in fog that you can not see 5 metres in front of you without their lights on...(I am happy still)....I look at him and smile my sweetest smile all the time think grrrrr but promised myself I would be happy today see (I am happy still) I think to myself and say to Aidan it should be gone by red rooster and he agreed...so we passed red rooster and guess what still fog I think its worse geezzzz(I am happy still) I travel through town looking around thinking I know this road so well so why am I so scared...Probably because i can not see two metres in front of me....(I am Happy still) I have to slam the brake on as I suddenly come across lights that I forgot were there and they turned orange...Now i am panicing I hate driving BUT (I am happy still)...I reach the top of the main range which is where his mate lives and all of a sudden I am really scared because there is cars all around that have no lights on...The kids start asking where is their lights...then a hear a soft chorus from the back from Shy and Nikki are we gonna die...This send Aidan into fits of laughter in the front and me into more panic as I realize the kids are picking up on my fear...But (I am happy still)I get onto the range and about half way down The fog starts to clear a little until we get to the bottom and I say thank you as I look up to the sky hehe (i am happy still)....I drop Aidan off get out of the car and have a much needed fag...phew I made it YAY....Oh no I have to get back home....Dam..So I finish my dirty habit and get back in the car....I travel back up the range and think please let it be clear...Please Please Please...I then hear from the back are you asking god to clear the fog Auntie angie? I thought I was thinking it and not say it lol....Yes hunni I said...I get to the top of the range and the fog is still as thick as it was before and I think to myself....OH NO...But guess what (I am happy still)...I drive really carefully all the way home with the girls chatting in the back and asking god that we make it home...We get to the top of the range near our place agian and I wait at the intersection...There seems to be no cars...I hit the excellerator and then squelling of brakes as some other moron is coming at me WITH NO LIGHTS ON IN THE FOG...BUT GUESS WHAT there is no crunch So (I am happy still)...I head down our hill and turn into our street and the fog is still as thick as when I left...But then the driveway is all thats left...I turn to the left to drive up or driveway and give it all I have as when its wet it gets slippery and if i fall of the concrete I am in trouble.....So up I go then all of a sudden the back wheels are spinning and the car aint moving...........Dam Im stuck...I get  Shy  to hop out of the car as I sit there scared and grab my neighbour....He comes over and tells me to hop out and he will fix it all the time shaking his head at me...hmmmm( I am happy still)...I come up to the top of our driveway and he manourvers our car and still he can not get it up the driveway...So he reverses he down (something I can not do) and takes it up his driveway and into my carport...All done and fixed and I am now home as you can tell and guess What  I AM HAPPY STILL lol.....I think he can walk home this arvo but LOL.....JJ...

Well this is a new blog for today and before anyone wonders I have deleted my blog from yesterday myself...Off my own back...I am still a little sad about my friends being deleted but I think this is not the place for it to be voiced...Thank you to all that commented on it and thanks for your support and caring...I wrote an article about how negativity breeds negativity and then i go and write something like that....I feel like such a hypocrite really BUT oh well I too am only human LOL...Next time I'm annoyed I will yell at my hubby instead he has broad shoulders LOL...We have teenagers too so he is used to it LOL....All I want to say that this is not to say I am happy with what happened in anyway shape or form but itis saying that I should have been more adult about it and not just typed and blogged.....I dont know how many people have told me to not do that LOL...Hey Im a mood what can I say hehe....So I think I will take things as they come right now will be the way things are for now...So until my next blog...take care
