Thank you Lara..I would have missed this important news! :hug:

And I have a question to ask you....we met a man on the boardwalk who lives now in Quebec but lived in Australia for years...he claimed the sun rises in the west there and sets in the east. Say it isn't so...*grin

A million isn't much. That was my first thought. Then my 2nd thought was that it's better than nothing.

Say WHAT? Was he standing on his head when he said it??? LOL :eek:
Obviously he was confused when he said it but I'm wondering if he lived in the west coast and saw the sun setting over the ocean. Where I live I see the sun rise over the ocean and obviously sets behind the mountains, but he was obviously very confused poor dear. lol

I was wondering if Alffe had one leg longer than the other... as a result of having her leg pulled! :D

[who moi]

I think that Quebec man is the OTHER kind of "Dag"....LOLOL ;)
