First of all, thanks to all my friends, and others, that sent prayers, good wishes, and encouraging words. Every little bit helps... Craig had a mass, the size of an orange, removed from his bowel. His bowel was 90% obstructed....

I share a small half-house with my friend's cat (and him!). While I love Mo dearly, it's got me thinking about how well a cat trains us to cater for their every whim. He lets me know exactly when he wants to be let in or out, when...

morris_minor1958 Oh yeah, you're so right about that! Although I remember when I was little we used to dress up our old tomcat in doll's clothes and make little fancily-decorated beds for him out of cardboard boxes... so occasionally you'd have to put up with looking a little...

morris_minor1958 Nah, I hates the little bugger.... :) I guess I don't mind doing things for him though because he can't do them for himself, like getting outside, getting food (well, without catching small crunchy creatures), even getting fresh water. So it's almost as if...

My Aunt cleans other peoples houses for a living, and really makes quite a bit of money doing it. She has gotten to the point, she is taking my mom to do some jobs with her, just to keep momma from being alone and being depressed...

No disrespect to anyone elderly out there, but some older drivers can be downright scary! I'm not talking about those drivers whose many years of experience make them a safer, more cautious driver, but those whose small...

morris_minor1958 Yeah, that's so true - it's a bit like drinking I guess... And just like that there's those that are sensible about it, those who'll have a bit of fun, and those who take it to extremes without a care for the consequences, and it's that small percentage that...

do you fear something and conquered it? Well I conquered being alone after dark. What did you conquer?(sorry if I spell some things wrong.)

I do! I was all ready to hate it as it seemed almost sacreligious to mix and mash the Beatles back-catalogue, but I really approve of the result and think that some songs (such as Hey Jude) are actually improved! Although I think...

morris_minor1958 :) That's what me and my dad did too. I especially like the buildup to Get Back using, amongst other things, the drum solo and guitar battle from Carry that Weight/The End. Oh, and Drive My Car/The Word is damn cool too! I wish I'd gotten the DVD version...

morris_minor1958 Yeah, that's what I was thinking too, but then I saw it in the shops for $17 (about US$11) and couldn't resist, and now I'm a convert! :) Thanks for your comment!

morris_minor1958 Me too. I grew up on a large property in rural NSW and had loads of cats - around 30 at one point! But they were all loved and looked after, and since then a home just doesn't feel right without a cat in it.

morris_minor1958 Yep, there's some real idiots out there. All new teenage drivers should be forced to drive Morrises - there's no hooning possible in those! Thanks for replying to my discussions :)

My parents named me after a Beatles song (Eleanor Rigby) and after King Richard the Lionheart's mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine. I know that many people are named for relatives, especially with names that are passed down through the...

morris_minor1958 Ta muchly! It's my car - a 1958 Morris Minor named Victor (because it's powered by a Victa lawnmower engine :) ). It's my pride and joy, even though it breaks down every two weeks and is often very expensive to repair, although luckily my dad can do a lot on...

morris_minor1958 Yeah, that's often true I agree. But sometimes it's just to pay tribute or respect to someone or something you feel has touched you in some way, even if they have no idea that they've done so. Thanks for your comment!

morris_minor1958 That's a long time after you were born to be named! But at least your parents made sure they had the name right, and it's a really nice one. Thanks for responding, and yeah, your cute thing is pretty cute :)

morris_minor1958 Hey, thankyou very much, that's really kind of you! I appreciate you making me feel welcome, and I can only aspire to your many points :) I'm from Brisbane, but I visited Melbourne only a few months ago and loved it, especially the Fitzroy area. Hope to see...
