Did you find out why "Swisslulu"? I've bee re-arranging the letters in their names - I'm short two s's, two u's, got the two l's. Just reaching for the scrabble dictionary!

BTW has anyone looked at one of those scrabble dictionaries? Talk about cheating - it seems that if the letters can be put together in any pronounceable manner then it is a word, whether or not it has a meaning. I'm not into the online scrabble but Bron is. She is reasonably intelligent (or if she is reading this highly intelligent) but she is learning dozens of new words every day that she hasn't heard before in 70 years.

Lesley which way are you heading not? Have you got your inverter & now enjoying you coffee again? I am going to ring the Marree pub about the10th to see whether the O.track has been graded since it was closed a few weeks ago- if so we will probably head up to there instead of up the highway from PA. Shall meet the highway at Marla instead. We are booked into the G'day mate van park at A.S. on the 22nd as meeting our Melbourne friends on 23rd. The ones who came up to see us at Castlemaine a couple of years ago. Safe travel & enjoy the cold. it was 6 here this morning at Narrabri.

Kay, the LC is still having work done on it today. New cable for the rear view camera to connect to the van and tyre dogs being fitted. Should all be finished today we hope and just waiting on mail from RVHB which is going to Chris and Val's PO box. The inverter was fitted last week so coffees being enjoyed. We are thinking of leaving here on Thursday and heading to Yorke Pen for a week or so and then meet up with Chris and Val after the 9th when they plan to leave.

Had a young couple from Langhorne Creek ask if they could have a few agapanthus for their property "Oh yes take as many as you want" so far they have done 2 trips and will be back when they arrived back for the 2nd dig they handed a box of chocs over, how nice was that?

Read it all the way through... Wow!!


Someone pulled it out of archives to show that executing drug dealers, is not a bad decision.


(This was written by a young Indian girl who was in jail for drug charges, and was addicted to meth. She wrote this while in jail. As you will soon read, she fully grasped the horrors of the drug, as she tells in this simple, yet profound poem. She was released from jail, but, true to her story, the drug owned her. They found her dead not long after, with the needle still in her arm.) Please keep praying for our children, teens, young adults. Understand, this thing is worse than any of us realise...


My Name: Is "Meth"


I destroy homes, I tear families apart,
take your children, and that's just the start.
I'm more costly than diamonds, more precious than gold,
The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.

If you need me, remember I'm easily found,
I live all around you - in schools and in town
I live with the rich; I live with the poor,
I live down the street, and maybe next door.

I'm made in a lab, but not like you think,
I can be made under the kitchen sink.
In your child's closet, and even in the woods,
If this scares you to death, well it certainly should.

I have many names, but there's one you know best,
I'm sure you've heard of me, my name is crystal meth.
My power is awesome; try me you'll see,
But if you do, you may never break free.

Just try me once and I might let you go,
But try me twice, and I'll own your soul.
When I possess you, you'll steal and you'll lie,
You do what you have to -- just to get high.

The crimes you'll commit for my narcotic charms
Will be worth the pleasure you'll feel in your arms.
You'll lie to your mother; you'll steal from your dad,
When you see their tears, you should feel sad.

But you'll forget your morals and how you were raised,
I'll be your conscience, I'll teach you my ways.
I take kids from parents, and parents from kids,
I turn people from God, and separate friends.

I'll take everything from you, your looks and your pride,
I'll be with you always -- right by your side.
You'll give up everything - your family, your home,
Your friends, your money, then you'll be alone.

I'll take and take, till you have nothing more to give,
When I'm finished with you, you'll be lucky to live.
If you try me be warned - this is no game,
If given the chance, I'll drive you insane.

I'll ravish your body, I'll control your mind,
I'll own you completely, your soul will be mine.
The nightmares I'll give you while lying in bed,
The voices you'll hear, from inside your head.

The sweats, the shakes, the visions you'll see,
I want you to know, these are all gifts from me.
But then it's too late, and you'll know in your heart,
That you are mine, and we shall not part.

You'll regret that you tried me, they always do,
But you came to me, not I to you.
You knew this would happen, many times you were told,
But you challenged my power, and chose to be bold.

You could have said no, and just walked away,
If you could live that day over, now what would you say?
I'll be your master, you will be my slave,
I'll even go with you, when you go to your grave.

Now that you have met me, what will you do?
Will you try me or not? It's all up to you.
I can bring you more misery than words can tell,
Come take my hand, let me lead you to hell...

ANON.
