Waikato beat Wellington....SUX !!

I can't believe we lost that game !! Why did we leave it till the last 15mins to actually play the game?? Bloody ell !! I could sit here and swear and curse but it ain't gonna change anything...damn it !! I feel our players should have played for our awesome ex All Black Captain and Captain of the Wellington Team Tana Umaga. He is an awesome player and such a credit to the game ! His personality, his integrity and committment has left a mark on every fan and player that loves union. Tana is a model of greatness within the game. Hats off to you Tana, you have left footsteps that others can never tred in, but only follow...... I hope this won't be the last time we see you on our television's playing the GAME !! All the best for the future !!

These are words from most loved fans of yours:

As a father of two and a keen rugby fan, I would like to commend you as both the greatest rugby player on the planet and a great ambassador for fathers who care about their children's development, both physical and educational. You should win a Nobel Prize! I will always back you as you will always back our kids. Here's to the future. NZ

Tana is the reason I watch rugby, play rugby, live rugby, support the All Blacks and love everything about rugby. Tana you are my hero. Thanks for being an inspirational leader to us all. SA

What a great guy, he has done so much for rugby. A truly remarkable outstanding player. I am so fortunate I got to see him play in Auckland and a truly lovely man. Ireland

Tana you are definitely an inspiration to not only me, but my children...Natalee !!

When does it end.......

Is there a magic cutoff period when offspring become accountable for their own
actions? Is there a wonderful moment when parents can become detached spectators in the lives of their children and shrug, "It's their life," and feel nothing?
When I was in my twenties, I stood in a hospital corridor waiting for doctors to put a few stitches in my son's head. I asked, "When do you stop worrying?" The nurse said, "When they get out of the accident stage." My father just smiled faintly and said nothing.
When I was in my thirties, I sat on a little chair in a classroom and heard how one of my children talked incessantly, disrupted the class, and was headed for a career making license plates. As if to read my mind, a teacher said, "Don't worry, they all go through this stage and then you can sit back, relax and enjoy them." My father just smiled faintly and said nothing. ..... hmmmm
Now I'm in my forties, I'm spending l ifetime waiting for the phone to ring, the cars to come home, the front door to open. A friend said, "They're trying to find themselves. Don't worry, in a few years, you can stop worrying. They'll soon be adults." My father just smiled faintly and said nothing. I am sick & tired of being vulnerable. I am still worrying over my children, but there is a new wrinkle. There's nothing I can do about it. My father just smiled faintly and said nothing. That has to be a permanent smile...
I continued to anguish over their failures, be tormented by their frustrations and absorbed in their disappointments. My friends said that when my kids got married I could stop worrying and lead my own life. I wanted to believe that, but I was haunted by my father's warm smile and his occasional, "You look pale. Are you all right? Call me the minute you get home. Are you depressed about something?" Arrrrgggg Can it be that parents are sentenced to a lifetime of worry? Is concern for one another handed down like a torch to blaze the trail of human frailties and the fears of the unknown? Is concern a curse or is it a virtue that elevates us to the highest form of life?
One of my children became quite irritable recently, saying to me, " Where were you? I've
been calling for 3 days, and no one answered! I was worried."
I smiled a warm smile.
The torch has been passed. Phew....I still have 3 to get through....Arrrr well...

FRIENDS !

Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.

Cherish the time you have, and the memories you share . Being friendswith someone is not an opportunity but a sweet responsibili ty.

The first pic is taken around at Island Bay a place called Red Rocks. You can see the Kaikoura Rangers in the South Island. The other is taken above my house.

The alcohol, was at 56%, now where can u find alcohol at 56% OMG......I for one couldn't handle it...I took one sip of it and wham....that was me....teehee !!

After that amazing feast we went to Seatoun, where another friend of Xiomings was cooking a cake...made by her Italian fiancee, the house was amazing, b'ful home with an outside pool. Xioming and I were invited to a bbq...arrrggg more food....arrrr well, it was an absolutely amazing evening and the moon was as round as could be....... Very good sign indeed !! Totally enjoyed myself, thanx guyz !!

This is one in a million - Dates huh - LMAO !!!

Worst first date If you didn't see this on the Tonight show, I hope you're sitting down when you read it. This is probably the funniest date story ever, first date or not!!! We have all had bad dates... but this takes the cake. On the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Jay went into the audience to find the most embarrassing first date that a woman ever had. The winner described her worst first date experience. There was absolutely no question as to why her tale took the prize! She said it was midwinter... snowing and quite cold... and the guy met her skiing in the mountains outside Salt Lake City, Utah. It was a day trip ( no overnight). They were strangers, after all, and truly had never met before. The outing was fun but relatively uneventful until they were headed home late that afternoon. They were driving back down the mountain, when she gradually began to realize that she should not have had that extra latte. They were about hour away from anywhere with a rest room and in the middle ! of no where. Her companion suggested she try to hold it, which she did for a while Unfortunately, because of the heavy snow and slow going, there came a point where she told him that he had better stop and let her go beside the road, or it would be the front seat of his car. They stopped and she quickly crawled out beside the car, yanked her pants down and started. In the deep snow she didn't have good footing, so she let her butt rest against the rear fender to steady herself. Her companion stood on the side of the car watching for traffic and indeed was a real gentleman and refrained from peeking! All she could think about was the relief she felt despite the rather embarrassing nature of the situation. Upon finishing however, she soon became aware of another sensation. As she bent to pull up her pants, the young lady discovered her buttocks were firmly glued against the car's fender. Thoughts of tongues frozen to pump handles immediately came to mind as she attempted to disengage her flesh from the icy metal. It was quickly apparent that she had a brand new problem due to the extreme cold. Horrified by her plight and yet aware of the humor of the moment, she answered her date's concerns about what is taking so long with a reply that indeed, she was freezing her butt off and in need of some assistance! He came around the car as she tried to cover herself with her sweater. Then, as she looked imploringly into his eyes, he burst out laughing. She too, got the giggles and when they finally managed to compose themselves, they assessed her dilemma. Obviously, as hysterical as the situation was, they also were faced with a real problem. Both agreed it would take something hot to free her chilly cheeks from the grip of the icy metal! Thinking about what had gotten her into the predicament in the first place, both quickly realized that there was only one way to get her free So, as she looked the other way, her first-time date proceeded to unzip his pants and pee her butt off the fender. As the audience screamed in laughter, she took the Tonight Show prize hands down... or perhaps that should be pants down. ...And you thought your first date was embarrassing. Jay Leno's comment... This gives a whole new meaning to being pissed off.

Back to Work........arrrrgggggg !!

Well I'm back to work tomorrow, after 3 weeks off, soooooo not looking forward to it !! Thats life... Anyway here's a joke to get me back in the working mode.....


An office manager had money problems & had to fire an employee, either Jack or Jill... He thought he'd fire the employee who came late to work the next morning. Well, both employees came to work very early. Then the manager thought he would catch the first one who took a coffee break. Unfortunately, neither employee took a coffee break. Then the manager decided to see who took the longest lunch break - strangely, neither Jack nor Jill took a lunch break that day, they both ate at their desk. Then the manager thought he'd wait & see who would leave work the earliest and both employees stayed after closing. Jill finally went to the coat rack & the manager went up to her & said, "Jill, I have a terrible problem. I don't know whether to lay you or Jack off." Jill said, "Well, you'd better jack off, because I'm late for my bus."

Yea now thats funny !!! Ok now I'm ready for work.........NOT !!

This man sat and listened to me pour my heart out to him. "Luv u to DG" and have a safe trip home to NZ to see ur kids...Hugs xx
Podge (DH)....He is my best friend in the world. I've known this guy for over 18yrs. We have fought, we have loved, we have lost loved ones, we have argued, we have cried on each others shoulders....he is my pillar of strength. My love for this man is beyond any love I could ever explain....not an intimate love, but a love that will alwayz be treasured in my heart..."luv u Podge and all the best in ur journey to seek the answers ur looking for".....

My trip to see my son and grandson in Cheshire

My friend Campbell took me for a ride in the country to relax as my mind was on Jen. The weather was horrible when we left for the country, then as if the gods answered my thoughts, the sun crept out behind the clouds and left a wonderful path of warmth for us.

My Trip to Europe

Well my trip to Europe was a last minute decision. I went to visit my friend in London, unbeknowen to her I was going to be there for her. It was a trip I won't ever forget as it ended our friendship. I had so many good intensions and it turned into a real sad ending. I guess I didn't really know my best friend in the world until now, knowing a woman for 14yrs and 10yrs of those yrs spent in London. I needed to be there for her as she was going thru a bad time, but I guess I made the wrong decision. I would drop everything to be there for my friends and now I wish I hadn't gone....I ruined our long time friendship of 14yrs by going to her. I wish I had made a difference in her life, but I made things worse. I constantly go over in my mind, if I hadn't gone, we'd still be best friends, or maybe I did make a difference in her life and maybe she took heed of my words, I will never know as I left London not talking to her. I blame myself for what has happened, I approached the situation not knowing what I was getting into....hey what do I know, I'm no social worker or psychologist, just a friend, well I thought, who needed me and I guess she didn't. I owe her so much !! She had gone out of her way to encourage me to meet friends over there and all I wanted was to be with her. We travelled to see my son in Cheshire and I can't thank her enuf for organising that, then we drove thru to Glasgow to meet a friend that was here in NZ earlier this year, someone that means the world to me and is very special to me. I will never forget what she did to make this happen.... !!! But that was not my purpose to go to London, my soul purpose was to be there for her and it turned out she was there for me !! How is that fair...it isn't fair !! If I could turn the clock back I would, and change what has happened and make it right......for what its worth Jen, I pray you find the help u need to continue ur life on this earth and not end it at such a young age. You are young and have the world at ur feet !! When u are ready I'll alwayz be here for u !!


To err is human--and to blame it on a computer is even more so.

Yea I've been a slack a$$...sorry guyz

My apologies guyz have been away to Europe and I'm back to add more to my blog. Grot, I see u want to see more of NZ. Hockey tockey here's a pic of my view from where I stay .....

My sisters trip to the USA...

Welcome home sister...
Her first trip overseas and she ended up in a hospital bed in Chicago. Dang woman, can't keep her away from a hospital. She works in the Emergency Department as a Health Consultant....Thats her the one thats poking her tongue out, commonly known as a "pukana", used to scare the enemy, gosh can you imagine a bunch of Maori warriors doing the Pukana scarying the beegeezus outta of you, if you've watched the A'B's do the haka before they play rugby, a lot of them do a pukana, what they're really saying is, "I dare you to come challenge us, we're going to eat you alive".....hmmm don't go threre....
My sister is one in a million....she has a great personality and everyone just adores her...I have to come back here and finish this off........to be continued..... :-) Well I knew I had something to get back to.....Yes well her and her friends spent 5 weeks in Chicago, NYC, LA and over to Montreal in Canada. She said the Americans in Chicago, were the most wonderful caring people....I've been to Chicago and I can honestly say, that is one of my favorite places I would really like to go back and visit. NYC, well we are from a wee country and the population of NYC is the population of NZ but packed all into one place. Well it was far to extreme for those kiwi's. LA, totally enjoyed the tourisy side of the visit there, Disney Land, LAX, Hollywood etc and Montreal of all the places to go, meaning the language....but all in all they had the most amazing time.....Well sister, this is the first trip of many. My next holiday is to China with my flatmate...I so want to go there.... !!!
