Thanks MizT...I will send email again if you want.

Hi MizT and June!

Oh goodie.I got a topp

Good morning Suzy, Nola, Tricia, Heidi, Mariana and all that will drop by later.

NOLA, it is on the way to you now! Enjoy!

MizT...LOVE YOU

I just went back to check what I had missed on page 87 only to find I had the last post!

June, is that a photo of your tree? I really like it.

Just realised the lawn mowers didn't get put out to the paddock last night. I hope the dogs didn't bark too much overnight! I wouldn't have heard them - slept like a log!

Suzy, just pull everything out of your closet and stack it on the bed, I will be right over and we will sort, toss and rearrange, should be finished in 3 or 4 hours! It once took me forever to go through closet, till I learned to stop trying to sort it all at one time. through one time, sort tops from bottoms. Now you have 2 piles. work on only one. Sort tops, summer and winter, Now you have 3 piles hehe. Pick summer tops, go through and puck out whatever is most dominant color, put all those into closet, next most color, and on down till all the summer shirts are in. Then store away the winter ones, wither into a deal corner of closet or into under bed boxes.

Do the same for bottoms, winter, summer sort. then pull out colors and put them together in the closet, Store away the winter stuff 9 summer for me) and you have a clean and neat closet!

and I cannot type! I think I need a little nap. Hubby is away, nothing pressing til dinner time, nap is a good thing!

catch you all later,

hugs

Sleep well MizT!

I was thinking - I don't have that many clothes! This house doesn't have much hanging space (hubby and I share a space smaller than we had each in our old house!) which makes me throw a lot of stuff out.

I'm back. You just can't get rid of me.

I'm still SO delighted for CynB. What a GREAT holiday season for her!! Something to really crow about!

There is one new problem Cyn has now.... how to find time to do all of the extra christmas shopping! What a great problem to have!

I just got an email. I'm getting another rescue collie... an elderly gentleman.

18?

Good Morning Sudokuland
Heidi your in the aged care field aswell hey
good for you, not sure how you go walking with all the medals we have pinned on you,
as a dog lover myself, when I lived on the aboriginal community, up north, any sick dogs the locals would come to me for help, so by the locals I was called the dog lady, well could have been the B---h haha

I'm getting him on Saturday. IH won't be home. We'll see how long it takes him to notice a new dog.

Faith was breathing for Hope. So when the newborn conjoined Williams twins were separated, it turned out that Hope couldn't live without her sister.

One-week-old Hope died overnight following high-risk emergency surgery to separate her from her sister.

The mother of the baby girls, 18-year-old Laura Williams, is Britain's youngest-ever mother of conjoined twins. The pair were born by Caesarian section last Wednesday.

Hope, the smaller of the twins, died after being separated from her sister Faith, who has a 50-50 chance of survival, Great Ormond Street Hospital said.

Hope's lungs were unable to support her breathing.

Professor Agostino Pierro, head of the surgical team, said Faith was in a "stable" condition. Her parents were "devastated by the loss of their other daughter," he added.

The sisters were joined from the breastbone to the top of the navel. They shared their blood circulation but had their own organs, though they were joined at the liver and intestines.

Doctors wanted to wait until the pair were older and stronger before attempting to separate them.

But Pierro said surgeons had to operate sooner because the twins' health was deteriorating.

"This was an emergency operation because there was a blockage in their joint intestine which could only be resolved through surgery," he said.

"The technical surgery worked well, although it was extremely challenging, and went according to plan."

More than 20 staff were involved in the 11-hour procedure and the twins were moved into different theatres after the separation, he said.

"However, very sadly, after separation baby Hope's lungs proved too small to support her breathing and she died last night in the presence of her parents.

"They are clearly devastated by the loss of their daughter and we offer them our deepest condolences on their loss.

"Baby Faith is stable after separation. She requires support for her breathing but she is gradually improving. However it is early days and complications can occur."

Her chances of survival were around 50-50, he said.

"If everything goes well there will be more surgery required to close her tummy but I can't tell you now when the surgery will happen," he said.

The twins together weighed 4.76kg birth.

Conjoined twins occur when the single egg from which identical twins develop fails to divide properly after conception.

It usually occurs in women aged 25 to 40 years old. The survival rate is between five and 25 percent.

Williams and her husband Aled, 28, who have another daughter, 18-month-old Carly, were initially advised to terminate the pregnancy.

The teenager, from Shrewsbury in west central England, told The Mail on Sunday newspaper following the birth: "After I came round from the operation they wheeled me in to see them.

"They were both blowing bubbles. They were so beautiful. I couldn't stop looking at the

The most collies I've ever had at one time was 24. That got a wee bit crowded.

were they all rescues Heidi
so you do run a retirement village at yours
maybe you could open your doors to retired sudokuholics aswell.
UMMM how many acres did you say you had ?????

And 18 isn't crowded??? You must have a huge house as well as the farm!

The young lawn mower is on the prowl this morning. I think he's hungry. They've been here a bit too long... Things are very hectic right now so his owner hasn't been around as much. I will call and tell her we are going away on the weekend. She doesn't like them being here when noone is home so will probably take them away then. For now they have had extra carrots and bread...

The Rescue bit is relatively new. I used to breed a little, and show a lot. The showing let up after 20+ years of it. I haven't been to a dog show in 7 years. I prefer being a stay-at-home-mom.

150 acres.

HI LIZ, and Heidi. Nap over, went for a small walk, boy it is breezy out today! good think it is not too cold, that could be nasty.

Ebob just had me laughing... I reminded her that it was getting late for her to head to the bus stop. 'I know just when I have to leave, by the end of the song after this (horoscopes on the radio)'. Sure enough, she made the bus, though she must have been running across the road while the other kids were getting on!

heidi, do you get any help from the rescue people for dog fod and vet bills for your guests? Is there a collie rescue association or something with some funds? Just wondering, cause I KNOW you buy dog food often and a lot at a time!

And the house is small. Too small. I've never liked it, but fell in love with the property. Some day I will get mad enough at it and do what a friend of mine did when she got sick and tired of her house. She bulldozed it down and built a new one.

Re-morning MizT?

One down, one still to leave - other isn't leaving today... Hubby has taken a vacation day to study for his last exam...

No, MizT. I don't ask for help financially. The funds are too few anyways, and others need it more than I do.

SUZY, kids, they are gonna push it aren't they? I am glad she made the bus OK, running or not hehehe

Heidi, can I recommend that you build a new one and then bring in the bulldozer??? Where will all the dogs sleep while the new one is being built otherwise!

You have 150 acres, we have 1.5 acres (well, it's more like 1.6 but 1.5 sounded better next to the 150)

WAY TO GO, Heidi, on the minimal rent and use of property for neighbors' horses. The spirit of Christmas is alive and well!

OOPS, am I allowed to say Christmas yet?

One day she will miss it MizT and I will have to follow through on my threat to make her walk to school (about 6km, 3.7m)

Hello, SA7ers! I'm still reading, but wanted to see how this avatar looks.

G'Day all! I'm not really here! Shhhh! Have loads of ffuts to do. Do you ever notice that time moves slowly when you want it to go fast and it is super fast when you want it to go slow. I can't believe it's December!

Sorry, just jumped in the middle and I haven't read anything yet!

Have just been to do the birthday wishes and got caught on Kathy's page.
Go check out her you-tube, what a beautiful story, had tears flowing, actually I have been a real cry baby this morning, reading about the twins and then Patrick Swayze, sad news.

Cool avatar, Julie.

I haven't looked at the news yet. What about Patrick Swayze?

I did Liz, it's wongerful!!

Liz, the story about Patrick Swayze is sourced from the National Enquirer - don't believe a word it says! That is not a reliable source - entertainment only!!!!!

I know he had cancer, and no hope. Has he left us?

He has actually said it isn't true by the way. Yes, he has cancer, no he isn't on his death bed saying goodbye to people.
