Famous last words lol

Will it still be there when you arrive? Either way, make sure everyone stays safe.

if it hold the same speed and direction it will have maximum effect on Manila in 70-80 hours.

my flight lands in 72 hours. LOL

So it should be a little breezy with a chance of showers

As white trash tend to be undereducated and therefore can only hold menial tasks, the terms are synonimous. I have seen my share throughout the usa

in oz there are bogans and yobbos. Bogans are lower socioeconomic class while yobbos are loud and obnoxious. A bogan can also be a yobbo.

A hick is a person who may lack social skills because they are from the bush

In British English there is the word yokel which has much the same pejorative overtones.

sounds like i may be somewhat of a hick

the boss wants me to have a a display of voodoo dolls in the receiving room, then ask suitors for a lock of hair as they leave for the dae

i favor having a shovel & a shotgun in the corner of the living room

invite the young lad on in & say

"I know how to use both of these, get my point?"

Ms. Amelia is chatting up a storm

Loves animals, calls them by name. Kitty, doggy, piggy. Comes crawling to me, going "mama, mama". Can you believe she's almost a year old? April 21.

In contrast, Thomas still calls them woof-woof and mew-mew.. Does say dadji (daddy). No mama unless he's mad (maaaa maaa maaa and crying)

Little girls are something.. Sure, everyone warns you, but you have NO idea until you experience it. She's got everyone around her pinky. Holds her own too, steals her brother's food when he's not looking

I may have to borrow that shotgun!

Mr. Pig, how is your little gal doing?

Oh obligatory baby girl pic

All we can do if give them as much information and grounding that we can offer and hope they make the right choices.

So important Oz.


As a parent I have made MANY mistakes, as may children often remind me, but the one thing I made sure of is that they can think for themselves and I believe make sound decisions.

My DD is going to the UK to university next year. I will be very sad, but not afraid for her, as I am confident that she will be able to tackle any situation as well as I could.

STORM WATCH 2015

The storm is now the 3rd strongest early year typhoon in history and is officially a Super Typhoon with sustained winds of 220km per hour.

Its slowed down = hopefully enough for us to skirt around it and get in and out of Manila




The number in pink is the date and time. so with curentpredition modelling, the eye will make landfall at around midnight on the 5th - just inside the typhoon catchers mit of north Luzon. Its still going to be rather breezey on aor arrival but not too dangerous to fly.

I am escorting my wife's elderly Aunt and Mrs Oz' brother gets married the following weekend

Stay safe, Oz. Tell that pilot to not take any risks.

Stay safe, Oz. Tell that pilot to not take any risks.

is "no risk" possible?

 

[vehve]

Ocap, you're right. Perhaps the word "unnecessary" should be added. Although I think not taking off pretty much ensures you won't crash. The Helsinki airport did have it's first airplane accident in something like ten years about a week or two ago. A plane was taxiing and bumped into the terminal at a whopping speed of 2 miles per hour.
