cooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeee aussie BBQ ,... (tea party cont..)

Thanks Laura (she's probably thinking, now who's going to do the dirty work, around here besides Jo.) Are we going to see some Koala's I've been waiting it seem's for ever so long?????

Sand, luckily for me that croc was old and teeth worn down....I was too old and tough for him. Gin, I think that "lightin" must have been out of Papa's best batch! Give some to Jeeves, I'll bet it will make the wee feller glad to take on that kangra boxing! It will loosen him up so much that northerner won't know him. Where did Lilith and DJM get off to? Better watch them Laura, they may not be waiting for the "plant trade" , they might be doing some "light-fingered'trading". Pass me the fruit jar, Gin. JO

Hey gang, I was just over at Northerners. She's had a terr ible thing happen. Flowerpot, take some of the lightnin' with you when you look in on her, unless she comes over here tonight. Doris

No, Might just be fingering a few items, right Flowerpot? JO. are you deliberatly trying to get Jeeves drunk? He does look rather funny, doesn't he? He was a bit stuffy when he first came over, but we sure unstuffed him fast!

Hummmmm guess I missed all the action again..... Jo you know better than to go wondering off and worring everybody like that but glad you ok. FP I am sure going to miss you. Give us a hollar when you can and hurry back. Your the only one that can keep Jo inline. he he (ducking so that boomerang don't hit me) lol I want to know where all the roo's and them cute cuddley bears are too?

Thanks Mystic I will try to give you all a holler,and I know I'm going to miss all of you.
I just went over to the UK and Northerner had her purse lifted at uni they found it in the next building the next day with all the cash gone of coarse. I didn't even offer her the white lightening Doris she's so upset, I bet she'd like to use it, on who ever stole her purse.he he he (and I won't say "where," she'd like to use it, cause I'm to much of a lady).

JO, you and flowerpot are going to need something special when you wake up in the morning. You best slow down on that white lighting. and shame be up on you for giving that strong stuff to Jeeves

Cuz Liz....now don't you be snitching on me back in the hills! Just bring me a mess of Ramps and we can cover the smell on our breath....heck, with ramps we can cover the smell of all the sheep in Australia!! Anyone ever eaten ramps??? They are mighty good eating, but a bit on the strong side....like.... it comes out the pores in your skin for DAYS! Where the heck did Laura get off to this time? I'll be she is thinking up more "entertainment" for us. Flowerpot, I sure am going to miss you...I think. RR/CC Jo

What the heck hit me????? Hah I thought it was a freight train. What in sam hill are RAMPS is it disgusting. Jo I ain't touching that hillbilley "joy juice" anymore. Lizh you're going to have your hands full while I'm gone, but you can call on DJM she'll tame her down with the hose he he he. Oh you'll miss me alright TM/RR/CC, but you'll also be wondering what I'm scheming up for when I come back.(oh she better watch out he he he ).

Hi folks! I see you know my news now. Yep, my bag was stolen on Wednesday. All my cash and cards taken. I've bought a cloth bag now, carry it slung over neck and shoulders with my cash and keys. Can;t put anything down in this place unless it's in a ton of concrete. The uni is in the middles of town, right in the middle of where the drug adicts and prostitutes hang out.
Wonder if I should trade Jeeves in for a more modern model. Could do with a Superman in these parts. Send all our baddies right into space.
Appreciate lots of hugs girls. I still feel very stressed and insecure.
Bye for now,
(((HUGS)))

Hello all. I hear tell me Mum and a couple of me cousins are down here raisin' some cain. I need to retrieve me nephew's hat http://davesgarden.com/showthread/119321.html so I'll just put out some bait. {crinkle, crinkle of paper} Yeah this Hersey's Treasure should do the trick.
Come out, come out where ever you are Mom!
Bye the way Laura, here's some rattlesnake for the Barbie. They tell me it's supposed to taste like chicken.

Weedwalker your Mom might be off some place with sfany and mystic I haven't seen those girls around today. They pretend not to be mischeivious but I don't know, and they are with TM/RR/CC, hmmmmm haven't seen djm either, could spell TROUBLE..........

What does a sweet, kind, unselfish, Mother like me (WW, I really don't deserve the TM in front of my name)do to deserve a DD that can find me no matter where I hide? And why did you bring that old rattler they killed in front of Olga's last week...you know rattler upsets my stomach!...We could try it with ramps though. Hope Ginlyn brings some...Did you bring the teepee? We should be able to get in some "rockhounding" while we're here....I hear it's a GREAT place for OPALS! HEY!!!! Since she's located me DD is JUST the one to box that old kangraoo!! LAURA!!!! We have a new "entertainment" (to Flo-p....this should be good hehehehe). Now....give my Hershey's! RR/CC MOM

Ok, Here are the ramps... You cook them, and stay far away from me after you eat them. They are gooood if you cook them with potatoes....

So, am I suppose to guess what "ramps" are??????? Is it a type of onion, garlick, cowpatty.......WHAT are they for crying out loud???????? Oh sorry I didn't mean to yell but seem's nobody heard me ask what "RAMPS" are, Jo.

This message was edited Sunday, Oct 14th 6:01 PM

gynlin and I are here! Must be alot of ground beef in here by the weight of it. Your pic's are great Laura.(that red tail cockatiel must be really rare..he didn't want to appear on your link.lol)Hey I guess we are really ready(you even remembered the TP. can't go anywhere without that. I'm thirsty. what have we got to drink? I'm can't do the lightning stuff. Is everybody here??

P.S. If you fill your belly with some of these ramps you won't need the corks on your hats....the smell will keep the flies away...won't have to always be giving the Aussie Salute, mates. Laura, I do think you might ask DH to pop down to the store and get some Tic-Tac's though. OK...Let's "Head 'em up, and move 'em out"! (watch out for Laura, Flo-P...did you notice she wants us to "bring a shovel"...now, what work does she have for us this time?) TM(undeserved)RR/CC Jo

Can I have a bucket to go with the shovel? Northerner, I feel so bad for you. How long will you be going to this uni? Any way you can get a transfer to another location?
Come on, you too, Flowerpot, lets get on our way. What'll we do with Jeeves? He's lying flat on the ground! Maybe Jo can sling him over her shoulder? If she escaped from the croc,she should be strong enough to carry this poor undignified man! Oh boy, Northerner, you are going to redo all of his obedience training when you get him home and when you get back to some kind of normalcy!

RR I am proud of you for the hyperlink but I do believe I will pass on the ramps.... he he. (hummm and the Rattler) lol Ok gang let's move before Laura finds more work for us to do. he he

well if I dont give you a shovel what will you do when nature calls?????? *smile* dont want to bring any unwanted native life around with the smell of humans.....

if your packs too heavy mystic then throw it on the horse and take a breather but we must push on...

nah Laura I got it I just wanted to see all the wildlife. I am ready to move on. But hey where is everybody else? I bet Jo went back to get those frog legs! lol

I think someone shoved Jeeves on one of the horses, rather he's laying sort of sprawled on one.. I think his shoe fell off along with his tophat.

ah poor Jeeves ya reckon we should do back and look for his hat and shoe? (nah). MMMMMM you reckon everybody eles is putting those shovels to use....... he he.

Finally I know what "ramps" are. You did good Jo. DJM I think Jo's feeding Jeeves the ramps that's what' got him up leaning on the horse he he he. Laura you really mean we're ruffing it no porta potty :O Hey girls weren't the koala bears the cutest? Was that a duckbilled platapus Laura? The Joey was so cute Jo good thing you didn't hurt him. Mystic I saw that smirk you can't fool me, I expect while I'm gone you'll be keeping up my end to help the other TM (RR/CC, djm,sfany) you know the ones he he he. Ginlyn, Lizh and RR's DD weedwalker might not give you such a hard time, but then that smirk you gave I don't know!!!! Laura you might be in for a long trip ha ha ha .

hahahaha i have plenty in store dont you worry..
perhaps you could pop in on a friends pc from time to time????????

our camp site is just ahead so the gang better catch up...

Way to go Mother Dearest, but then I hear tell you had a cheat sheet anyway~!
{hitchin' up the tipi poles to make travois for the horses to pull} Here, everyone pile those packs on here. The Native American's sure knew how to pack and travel! Shoowee! Who's been eaten ramps? Yuk! I'm lookin' forward to them bisquits on a stick over the campfire though, Haven't tried that yet. If I can find a good flat rock, I'll make us all some gridle cakes too.
Laura, what kind of medicinal plants will we find out here? Surely there is something to rub on for the skeeters! (swat! smack!) You sure these things haven't gone African like the bees at home are??
Mom is that Chocolate I see oozing outta your pack? I knew I should have brought the cupcakes instead!

o.k.

here looks like a good spot......
weedwalker , can you please build a fire? some river rocks would be helpful.. take jeeves and find some wood also..thanks
RR and FP can you put up some tents and roll out the sleeping bags,,,,

mystic, here' the shovel..( hehehe) go over yonder behind the bushes and dig a couple of DEEP holes.... oh and leave the toilet roll there....


djm.... sand....... here is the recipe for damper.. can you get the ingredients out and give it a go... remember you have to wait for the fire to die down to embers before you put it in..http://hjem.get2net.dk/niels_quist/damper.htm

oh mystic before you go dig the loo... could you dig a small pit for the fire?

I will go and look for wood and some..... 'things' to eat you havnt tried yet....

o.k. lets go

Wow Laura, that looks easy enough. I've never piched a tent before, how are we doing RR, dose it look like a tent yet? he he he he Did yah see what Mystic, has to do I bet Laura saw that smirk too. Now RR you get into enough trouble on your own, you better behave cause, I think Mystic could sway yah, into getting into more trouble. DJM and Sfany, hows the dampers comin they sure smell good. Sure hope we don't have to catch what else we have for food!!!!!! I'll starve, not that it wouldn't hurt me to drop a few. Well I here Jo yapping at me, better go finish my job. Yah yah yah I'm comin.

DD/WW, you have eyes like the Eagle (and a mouth like a Magpie)...now, why did you go and spy out my chocolate stash? DJM and Flo-p, not to mention Ginlyn and Liz, will want me to share with them!Laura, I read up on that "damper"....I THINK a little choppped ramps in the batter would make the batter better.Well, I must say I'm glad WW is along on this "safari"...she is very good at medicinal weeds, and is great at rubbing people (the wrong way, sometimes..hehehe).(to FP: you keep your eyes on me...first chance we get we'll get out of this grunt work...my idea of roughing it is stopping at a motel with out a pool!) OH, aren't you all just doing such a WONDERFUL job here?? (softening them up)Mystic honey, I think you deserve one of my chocolates! ( singing ...Waltzing Mataldy...) TM(undeserved)/RR/CC Jo

I can't wait to taste this damper..Laura, do you think it's done yet? djm and I had a messy time getting this dough just right!Hey mystic, you did a good job on this hole for the fire pit, and WW you made a fine fire. RR and FP where are you? Don't tell me you decided to take a nap after putting up the tents? I think Laura has another job for the two of you(to keep you both out of trouble)hehehe Is the tea ready yet? I sure could use a cup!

(SSSHHH! Flo-P...don'tell them where I am!) TM(undeserved)RR/CC Jo

This is beginning to sound a little like the "wagon train" I went on one time. all snug in my sleeping bag on a big pile of hay in the back of pickup at night. Nice, untill I noticed the bed was getting hard. They were feeding the horses my bed (hay)..... Jo, pass that jug of Papa's and save the ramps till we get back to Laura's

Hey Sand, when do you think Laura will tell us what to do with this ground beef? It's getting a little hot out here. Something sounds "fishy"....gr.beef, line, hook? It's starting to smell worse than RR"s ramps. Oh, did anybody bring any lolly water? I certainly could go for one. I sure hope"that" Laura knows where she's taking us. Sure looks like Woopwoop to me...

TY Sand. I passed on the river rock, though, as they tend to explode when heated. I did find something to help repel these skeeters while is was out there gathering wood. http://www.permacult.com.au/cgi-bin/arr_html.exe?Mentha+satureoides
(nice searchable database here!)
I'll just toss some of this in this pot of water to steep by the fire. MMMM Smells nice too.

(peeking from behind bush)HMMM...I wonder what my DD is brewing up now? Do we drink it, or use it to repel insects...or BOTH? I'll just bet she has brought along some Slippery Elm...she dotes on that stuff. It's just a good thing Laura had enough foresight to bring those shovels and TP. I do hope WW brought along some of that stuff she makes for sore, achey muscles....and her MASSAGE TABLE! I think I'll just keep an eye on this bunch for a wee while longer....SSHHHH! TM(undeserved)/RR/CC Jo

OKAY TM(deserved)RR/CC how much chocolate do you have and that'll determine how quite I am as to your where abouts. (I"LLLLL get her going especially making her share her chocolate he he he he) What did you say, you want me to tell Laura, where you are, because you want to do more hard work!!!!!! Oh you said I can have "all" your chocolate, just keep my ---- mouth shut Jo be nice (he he he)
Nice holes there Mystic, how'd you get such a great "job"? And you even made a tp. holder.djm and sfany that smell is driving me crazy with hunger, when will they be done. Hello Laura no I don't have a clue where TM(deserved)RR/CC is. ( to myself I hope I don't have any chocolate on my face or ole tm/rr/cc's daughter will be suspicious) dam can't get away with anything anymore. Oh yes Laura I'll help you look for TM/RR/CC.(he he he)
