Well, right now it's not hot here. I have my little heater on next to the
computer.

And thankfully it's been raining here the past couple of days, but there are
a lot of other parts of the country that need the rain far more than we do.

I usually only complain about the heat when it's over 35 degrees celcius,
especially if it stays that way for a few days in a row.

And when we have our few days per year in the low 40's.....well I don't shut
up about how hot it is then!

Nah not around here, but I do see them and wombats as roadkill regularly.
They don't really bother coming into the towns here, because there's
bushland close by.

I wouldn't want them coming into my yard anyway - they're viscious buggers
if you get too close! Luckily they spend most of their time sleeping or
stoned on the gum leaves.

One place where I lived a few years ago, we had a possum that came and sat
on the back fence at around dusk each night for a few weeks. It and my cat
just used to sit there and stare at each other. They couldn't figure out
exactly what the other was, but they were both fascinated

Look up were Darwin is and remember Australia ia a big place. Like America
the weather can be different from one end of the country to the other.

possums aren't indigenous for you, are they?

i had a childhood friend who had a pair of possums. in a large
cage under the eaves of his barn. in time, they had babies. i'm
not sure what he did with them then.

-lisa

I think I worked out where our misunderstanding has come from. In Australia
we talk about the degrease in CELSIUS. I think you might use FARIENHIET. It
is quite possible that 30 deg CELSIUS is 18 deg FARIENHIET in which case we
are both right.

I don't know about you but asd is somewhere I go for help, healing and
friendship. It is not somewhere I come to get kicked in the guts, abused and
called a lier.

If this has been a misunderstanding (which I feel there has been) then let
me send regrets and what ever apology you feel you need.

And if you still hate and despise me then I don't really know what else to
do or say

You can count on that happening with this particular person, that's
just the way he passes the time, "thinning the herd" by harassing
newbies. Don't take it personally. Plus that's just one person out of a
great many. Do not confuse "Persent" with ASD, notwithstanding the fact
that he makes about half the posts here.

i never called anyone a liar ,
she said something about her weather ,
i checked it on the net ,
the net said what she was saying wasn't true ,
so , the internet called her a liar not me

Thanks I guess it wasn't worth loosing the nights sleep after all.

By the way, the reason I mention "Babe" is that it takes place in
Australia. If one doesn't know that, it's very puzzling to see people
celebrating Xmas outdoors with fireworks. Lynne, do they really do that?

Well, sometimes losing a night's sleep can be invigorating and good for
depression. But it has to be the entire night; a half hour of sleep will
totally ruin the effect and leave you feeling like shit all day.

Mark

You need permits most of the time for foreworks. So no we don't set off
fireworks at Christmas. Just eat and drink too much like every where else in
the world.

I did well. I got a whole 3 hours last night and that was after taking a
sleeping pill.

We've got ringtailed and brush tailed (to name a couple off the top of my
head) possums which are indigenous to Australia. I think they look a bit
different to the possums in other countries in size and colouring though.

related they are.

Not very. About 70 million years and 2 continents apart:

studied australian possums or not, but we probably did.
altogether too much information for one course.

I've got a deep and abiding interest in animals but there are just so
many of them! My favourites have got to be cetaceans, especially orcas.
Beautiful, magnificent creatures.

You can imagine my dismay when Iceland announced it was resuming
commercial whaling earlier this month. One of the species they are
targeting is the fin whale, and endangered species. Disgraceful.

The Fin whale is not an endangered species and Iceland is going to
catch 9 out of a population of 25 000 animals in the waters around
Iceland.
What really is disgraceful is how Iceland, a small country, is attacked
for their whaling while both Japan and the USA ( 69 Bowhead whales and
an untold number of dolphins and orcas each year) are not.

Please quote your sources. Any from the Icelandic government I will, of
course, discount.

Whether it's 9 or 9000 the fact remains: there is *NO* way to humanely
kill such a large animal. Some suffer for more than an hour before they
eventually die. It's cruel and barbaric, and any country that
countenances it shows itself to be less than civilised and should be
shunned by the international community.

Japan is routinely attacked for it's increasingly ridiculous stance on
whaling and it's more and more desperate attempts to convince the
Japanese population to consume whale meat. They can't give it away. It
has gotten to the stage that whale meat is now being sold as dog food
in Japan. As for the US, the same concerns for animal cruelty apply.
And I don't care whether it's "traditional" or "part of our culture"
(are outboard motors and semi-automatic rifles part of their culture
too?), it should be stopped. Now.

30C is 86F. (Divide by 5, multiply by 9, add 32.)

18F is -8C. (Subtract 32, divide by nine, multiply by 5.)

% is just being his usual self. Try not to let him get to you.
