Save Steve's Place

Comment Published at 02:2102:213 comments3 comments26 Visits26 VisitsReport

The Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve (SIWR) is being threatened by strip mining. Cape Alumina Pty Ltd has lodged mining lease applications which include approximately 12,300 ha of the Reserve. Cape Alumina company documents indicate an intention to mine 50 plus million tons over a 10 year period commencing 2010. The greater part of this mine is on SIWR

The proposed area for mining on the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve contains the head waters of irreplaceable waterways and unique biodiversity which will not recover after mining operations are finished.

There is a petition to stop this mining from going ahead.

Here is a link to the petition if you wish to sign...

Jack has been wanting his hair cut like this for ages so now that school photos have been and gone I let him have it done.

He looks very cool. I wasn't quite sure how it would turn out!

WooHoo exam is OVER.....

Comment Published at 19:1719:1710 comments10 comments30 Visits30 VisitsReport

I had a Year 12 Australian History exam this morning and am very happy and relieved that it is over.

I answered all the questions - 2 essays and a Source Analysis - 11 pages of hand writing in all.

Now just have to wait for the results. Some time before Christmas apparently.

There were only 2 of us that sat the exam and I didn't know the other guy as he did Open Access instead of coming to class.

If he wasn't there it would have just been me!

There should have been one more but she didn't turn up. She had Modern History yestersday and apparently didn't cope too well with it....hope she is okay.

Reminder to self: "Never do a course that has an exam at the end"

lol

HUMOUR WEEK - Monarogirl - Day 7

Comment Published at 17:3717:373 comments3 comments26 Visits26 VisitsReport

Train Ride

The only seat available on the train was directly adjacent to a well dressed middle aged French woman and the seat was being used by her dog.

The weary traveler asked, "Ma'am, please move your dog. I need that seat."  

The French woman looked down her nose at the American, sniffed and said, You Americans. Your are such a rude class of people. Can't you see my little FiFi is using that seat?"  

The American walked away, determined to find a place to rest, but after another trip down to the end of the train, found himself again facing the woman with the dog.   Again he asked, "Please, lady. May I sit there?". I'm very tired."  

The French woman wrinkled her nose and snorted "You Americans! Not only are you rude, you are also arrogant....Imagine!"

  The American didn't say anything else, he leaned over, picked up the dog, tossed it out the window of the train and sat down in the empty seat.   The woman shrieked and railed, and demanded that someone defend her honor and chastise the American.  

An English man sitting across the aisle spoke up indignantly, "You know, sir, you Americans do seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing.  

You eat holding the fork in the wrong hand.  

You drive your autos on the wrong side of the road.  

And now, Sir, you've thrown the wrong bitch out the window."

Retirement Plaanning

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1000.00..

With WorldCom, you would have less than $5.00 left.

If you had purchased $1000 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have $49.00 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer/wine one year ago, drank all the beer/wine, then turned in the cans/bottles for the aluminium recycling REFUND, you would now have $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
