Hi Beth,
Welcome to the trials and tribulations of TKO.
My son got the Darrell Lea licorice for me. I don't know if he found it locally or ordered it rhrough the web. I will ask next time I talk to him. It is excellent licorice. Must be a prison tradition...

Sheesh, everyone's always been to Australia. Don't you people know that 3 hours from Australia is one of the best kept secrets in the world. Cinders, you are exempt from my little spleen vent. I know you've been here. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

2regret,
The NERVE of you posting about licorice! I simply can't believe it!!!
I'm just joking obviously. We are all glad you posted. If you want to talk about licorice, that's okay. I think that would be "anise" for larousse. I'm not sure how much there is to say about licorice though. I know it comes in other colors besides black and it must be low fat because we buy it in the "diet" section.
Can I ask what your screen name means? What do you regret?

Excuse me interrupting Pio, but are you going to give us some sort of update?

Well, in the absence of an update.....
Cinders, if you scroll back a couple of pages you'll see some more pics of my DD's trip. I know you like them.

Well I don't have much news. WW did get in last night. No crises. We also have not really talked much (yet?). But, as the gunslinger's defense attorney told his client walking out of Judge Parker's court room, "no noose is good noose".
WW did tell DD2 this AM that she is never leaving again. We will see.

nams, for when you're on again. This will probably be about 4 pages back by then but never mind.
I laughed when you said DD looked American. I'm wondering whatever you expected her to look like.
And you needn't worry about her views on the USA. This is from her latest email.
"I am writing this at the Monterey Bay library which is free internet!
We went whale watching this morning and saw one humpback (far away) which was fun and there are seals and otters everywhere.
I love America - all the Halloween decorations are up everywhere! We are planning on making s'mores in our room over the open fire - which is in our room - how cool!!!!
We had 3 days in Yosemite which was BEAUTIFUL and great to be away from the rat race..."

Pio, saying "I'm never leaving again" is tantamount to saying I love my husband and I love my family.

Sounds like Bush needs to build a wall between the USA and New Zealand. I thought US customs didn't allow kiwi's into the country anyway. What happened? I know they don't allow oranges and apples and the like.

KiwiJ,
Just wanted to let you know we also spent two weeks touring both islands of your beautiful country. I have been trying to remember the name of the town with that wonderful aroma -could you help me out?
Thanks ToddAC I will watch for the information.

Pio--message for you on aisle 3. Bring your mop. thndr-hwevruspllit, I did read a message last night. I won't go into it here but I told Todd by email that last night was extremely difficult for me. Not sure why. When I got home from soccer I did see a message on aisle 3 and it meant a lot. Thanks much. Regarding the mess, I like what the Blue Collar Comedy guy said when he was in the cereal aisle and his son got angry because dad wouldn't buy him the cereal he wanted. The kid dropped down on the floor and started kicking and screaming. Dad wolks over to him and says: "boy, I just have one thing to say to you: who are your parents and why aren't they here right now?" and walks off.

Beth, I like you already. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Rotorua. I don't know if you could call the smell wonderful but it's certainly unusual.
My H and I are just on the phone to DD now.
Back soon.
Pio reminds of the commercial one of the Idiots sent us recently. Briefly, child in supermarket having mother of all tantrums, father looking horribly embarrassed.
Punchline: use a condom

Pio, there is a kind of a wall. Even though we have an ANZUS agreement, our anti nuclear stance doesn't endear us to the USA.
Of course they let kiwis into the country. They let kiwis everywhere. We have a reputation for being hard working, friendly people who'll turn their hands to anything.

I think the US doesn't allow any fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, drugs, Canadian medicines, etc. into the country. Kiwis?
As far as the US anti-nuclear stance. At least you aren't doing any underground detonations. NK is a small place. Wonder what that does to their groundwater.

Thank you for welcoming me, I was a little nervous of interrupting your banter. I am still in the midst of reading all the information on this site and trying to find my way around. I wasn't sure of the protocol and if I could just jump right in.
Piojitos, my posting name is due to my melancholy mood the day I joined. I have recently discovered my husband of 21 years has been having an affair.
I am not quite ready to post about it yet though but thanks for drawing me out enough to even say the "A" word.
KiwiJ, you are correct about the smell! I was pregnant when there and it was the only time I suffered from morning sickness.

This thread is like Douglas Adams' Italian bistro.There is nothing to interrupt. Post all you can. It is the only way we can keep ToddAC from posting song lyrics.

....and we do try and stop Pio from threadjacking it but, so far, we have had very little success. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Pio, you think US biosecurity is bad. We have the STRICTEST biosecurity probably in the world. It's sulphur Beth. That's the smell. It's still a very interesting place though.
