You like insects, that's up ti you. A serious question: do you like The Beatles? Mc Cartney, Lennon, Harrisson and Starr? (not STAR!)
Why that dislike for camels?

Why that dislike for camels?
Hi and hope all is well. Busy?HELLO EVERYONE!!! I hope all has been well. I haven't been able to get on the forum much this week. I hope everyone is having a fantastic Friday
I like a lot of the Beatles stuff, wifey loves them and went to see them live.
Camels hate me.
I hate camels.
Nasty, bitey, spitty, smelly, fly--covered, mangy, stubborn, kicky, bad-tempered, evil, nasty but tasty things.
Lucky you! Seen them live?! I have no been that lucky. But I had SO MANY RECORDS as well as TAPES for them. Now I watch them on YouTube... technology. I agree with Wifey , here.
As far as camels are concerned, well, you probably know; everyone loves them in the Arab World, except YOU.
One of the ways I handled the trauma from it was to collect stories I heard of GOOD LUCK or oddities associated with the disaster. I'll share some I still remember.
1. A personal friend of my husband had a work mate whose father worked in the first tower. As the news was unfolding, the work mate was frantically counting the floors on the tv and trying to phone her dad, who wasn't answering. Finally she phoned her mom at home who said: "Your father is fine, dear- he got laid off yesterday and is sitting here watching with me!"
2. A man was late to work because he stayed at home an extra hour to help his wife with their sick child. He was on his way when the attacks started, so kept out of harm's way.
3. A woman on her way to work stopped to pick up a couple dozen donuts as a treat for her office mates. She was delayed long enough to miss being inside for the attack, and quickly got to safety.
4. As the buildings were burning, but hadn't yet fallen, the police were going door-to-door in the blocks around the towers telling people there was a city order to evacuate. At one apartment, the guy who answered the door was very polite, but VERY firm about not fully opening the door to the police. He thanks them but said they'd be okay and wouldn't leave. The police forced the door open to get them out, and found a huge amount of drugs, all packaged for sale on the streets, and busted 5 people as part of the drug ring.
Nope, my friend Zac hates them also.
I never saw the Beatles, so not so lucky, only wifey, i'm too young!
Those made me and wifey cry a little.One of the ways I handled the trauma from it was to collect stories I heard of GOOD LUCK or oddities associated with the disaster. I'll share some I still remember.

Thanks, Moo, wonderful stories, the first one gave wifey and i goosebumps, too.
Oh sorry, I forgot that you are only 19 years old!
I'm glad i'm not 19 !
but just a bit too young to have gone to a Beatles concert.
Drizzly all day, with occasional downpours! Temp is 75 F.
I LOOOOVE the rain, an I'm an unabashed pluviophile!!!

Glad to see it when it comes here and love the smell of petrichor, but can't say I love it.
Bit allergic to water.
Here we do not agree: I LOVE HOT SUMMER, and dislike/hate...WINTER, COLD WEATHER, RAIN and above all SNOW! Had it not been for the sandstorm I would have taken Oli out for a walk.Drizzly all day, with occasional downpours! Temp is 75 F.

Please check your PM asap. Thanks.
I thought Hot Cross Bun Day was Good Friday!
Are you sure you haven't got it mixed up with the day for those cottontail mammals that get angry when warm?
- Hot Cross Bunny Day?
Morning, Noel!Morning all
Razor-Backed Betty has been waiting.
Down she goes, an important shot!
Five down, but that's not enough!
Gillian wins, but you still have one ball to finish second, Noel, and get the silver medal.
ha de ha.
I imagine it's just a promotional gimmick to get sales of hot cross bunnies six months away from their traditional time and boost sales in a quiet month.
Afternoon, Lyn.
That was indeed a terrible, terrible day for the world I was in work and someone rang across to our building to tell us to put the staff room tv on. We thought it was an accident until the second plane came and we couldn't believe what we were seeing - we all cried.
It was my nephew's 13th birthday, can't believe its 14 years since that dreadful day.
Thoughts and heartfelt sympathy to all affected.
Hi Adam how's the bowling going?
Back in an hour folks, gotta dash.
