Leimanu Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Scouts Australia allows boys and girls, progressive thinking. Girl Guides are struggling because they haven't changed anything in 100 years. We watched Got and was a little deflated by the first episode! Got - yup, that's what I heard around town. The writers are on their own now, so they're probably trying to start a bunch of new story lines - that will hopefully pay off. I sure hope they don't pull a Dexter and it becomes a big snoozefest. Boys and girls - all kids look super cute in their little uniforms. Quote <--<< Daughter of Artemis >>--> Link to comment
peelout Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 We were going to put our daughter in girl scouts when she was little. Decided not to after talking to some people who were into scouting. May not be the same everywhere, but girl scouting around where I live seemed mostly to consist of raising money, and not just the cookie sales, but can a thons and other things. There was no camping our outdoorsy activities. Boy scouts on the other hand seemed a lot more out door oriented. Quote Current Challenge We are what we repeatedly do.

SevenofSeven Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 For us Scouting is all about getting the kids out doing a heap of stuff, of course camping, hiking and knots but we do community service and helping other non for profit organisations. Forever trying to make the Scouts understand about caring for their environment and community. I really like their ethos, or I woukdn't have stayed in it for 12 years and counting [emoji12] Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Roly getting ready for the trip to Perth, for the flight up North and back to work. He has been doing this for 23 years, almost 24. We love him for it. That's his other girlfriend, his 1098 Ducati. She threw him once and hurt him bad, but he forgave her. He won't ride her on the gravel, so we take her to the bitumen and go through the ritual every two weeks, fly in day, fly out day. 1 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted April 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Have my iPad back and have spent the better part of the morning catching up on threads, while laying in bed! Such a slacker today. The time has come to get up though. The world waits for no one. Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 This is before we even get morning coffee: Good outcome for Patient. This is the awesome bit, working with the fire and rescue and the helicopter paramedics! Spook cool. Not sure if you can see how close the overhead power lines are, but that took some skill. 2 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
peelout Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Where the road from the right that is perpendicular to the road the fire people are standing on meets, I don't see a stop sign. Am I missing it or does this intersection not have one? I do see something on the concrete in the center of the road but it looks too short to be a stop sign. Or maybe its been run over?

We use a lot of "Give Way" signs and give way to the right rules. Our Patient ended up where she did because she swerved to miss something on the road, she was fuzzy on the details, but the road was wet, she was heading down hill and there was a misty/fog rain. Not ideal driving conditions at any rate. 1 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted April 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Did the Rep Squats but no accessories, which I feel pretty stink about. I didn't eat enough today, so really struggled.

SevenofSeven Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 My favourite jeans are no longer my favourites, they fit wrong. Due to being a "boyfriend" cut, which basically means baggy everywhere, but they are no longer baggy! The waist is tight, the arse is tight the thighs are tight when sitting. When at my heaviest 110kg, these were my "go to" because they were a nice fit! Now what! I guess I have to wear "give up on Life pants" forever! or those nasty elastine things my Mum gets around in..........noooooooo! 1 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment

Considering the drive you show in your constant quest to get stronger, you can do anything you want. Just depends on how bad you decide you want it and how high you are willing to prioritize it. 1 Quote Current Challenge We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
