Hi Frank
These 3 kids were so cute. They were quite shy initially and with a little encouragement from their Mum, they came out a little. Not sure how they scored on the treat department, given they didn't get sweets from me, only Marquette Turner goodies.
Thanks for commenting.

Hi Nancy,
Thank you for commenting on our Blog. Anything we can do to spread the word about such an amazing organisation, we are happy to do so. It is wonderful to hear from people such as yourself who volunteer. The world is a much better place because of people like you.
The information about eligibility is appreciated.
We have the CAN charity in Australia, but I don't believe it has quite the same support from Australian companies as your's in USA does. Hopefully we can work towards helping out in some way.
Thank you again for contacting us and keep up the fantastic work you are doing.

I hope you and your friends enjoy this. We love it. You may also be interested in the latest recipe coming out today, Egg Caviar Dip - one I always used for large functions - such as school events. If the event was small - the leftovers were very moorish - it is fantastic and very easy. Only limited by your creative schools in decorating!

My Mum is about to visit the Blue Mountains to do some bushwalking with her group. I am planning to head up to have a lunch with her when she is there. Sitting next to the fire with a glass of wine - can't wait!

Have just received an email from Alex Pidgley in UK who has also been to the Tuka Orphanage and is heading back again on 14th of this month. Another feel good story as he and his partner were also the bearer of gifts to these lovely kids. So good to know people like Aleisha, Ryan, Alex and his partner Melinda. Well done guys.

How fantastic do these look and the need to have the horrid panels used for solar - a thing of the past! Well done to SRS Energy.

It was so spooky, not to mention really tough just trying to get from the front door to my filthy, dirty, dust covered car. In that short walk which lasted just a few seconds, my eyes started stinging, chest tightened, hair - OMG - the word frizzy took on a complete new meaning, and my mouth was full of grit. It was horrible and finally got blown out to sea by about 6pm that night. Fortunately saturday's storm was no where near as dirty, but powerful nonetheless.

Everyone had similar stuff to say abut the luxury market and all were surprised to hear we are all in the same boat, some a little worse off than others. I thought it was very reassuring to hear. Shame the media do not pick up on it though and get to know what is really happening.

Re: Frequent Flyer – Which Airline was the Best?

ChristineWatson — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 00:15:05 -0000

Michael,
Couldn't agree more. In fact, the flight I had from Vail to Denver, had only one cabin crew member (which is normal for this sized plane), however, she sat and played with her iphone the whole time. Occasionally she walked the aisle to see that we hadn't passed away in our seats! I wish I could be paid to sit down all day and do nothing! The flight took 50 minutes. The drive takes 1 hour 30 minutes. I know what I will be doing next time - it is far more pleasurable in a car, taking in the magnificent scenery.
Most businesses aspire to be like their counterparts in America. Thank Goodness V Australia hasn't.

Re: Holocaust Mass Murder, Rape and Obesity are no Joke: Should Shock Jock Kyle Sandilands and 2DayFM be Excused?

ChristineWatson — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:18:38 -0000

The following article was taken from Sydney's Daily Telegraph:

“Kyle Pays Ratings Price For Stunts

The nightmare has continued for suspended shock jock Kyle Sandilands, with new ratings confirming the scandal-plagued star is officially a turn-off on Sydney radio.
Capturing the fallout from the radio rape controversy, the latest Nielsen survey showed young listeners and school-run mums have dumped the Kyle and Jackie O Show in their thousands.
In another crisis for 2DayFM, the breakfast duo dropped 2.2 share points, shedding 18% or 35,000 listeners.
The result did damage across the station’s day-time schedule, with concerns the “Kyle” effect is damaging Austereo’s other star pairing of Hamish Y Andy (who also shed three share points).
Women aged 35 – 49 turned on Sandilands and his sidekick, with almost 35 per cent of the demographic switching off after a teenage rape victim was quizzed."

People are clearing voicing their opinion by turning off their radio.

Re: Sydney Real Estate and Infrastructure: Michael Marquette’s “View from the Bridge”

ChristineWatson — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 11:33:09 -0000

Michael

The whole transport system within New South Wales is a disgrace. Sydney is an international city and shamefully, our infrastructure is appalling. Our roads systems are also appalling. To travel to the city last week from the eastern suburbs, I used our fantastic road and tunnel systems. A 3km trip cost $14 each way. I got there in 8 minutes, because sadly there were no other cars on the road. The government doesn't have the money to fund these roadways, so the private sector has built them and also runs them. The costs are so prohibitive to those that need to use them every day. Some are paying up to $90 per week in road and tunnel tolls. Let's hope our disgraceful government can get its act together one day!

This is a favourite of all who have tried them, particularly James. He would prefer that no one else be sitting at the dinner table when these are served - he loves them.
