I couldn't stop laughing....thanks for the giggle, especially with a 'country' Aussie twist. My imagination was running riot. :-D

Thanks for yours too. Wondering how it’s going to be with lockdown lifting? Apparently, we are not going back to our Kingdom Halls for a while yet.....what about you guys?

It seems so. Just following the directions from the Branch.
Jehovah is taking care of us! Brother Beveridge once said, “People are more important than procedures”! I always loved that.

Nice to know that we are following the directions of those who are directed by God’s son. We are in good hands. :-)

Seems so....nice change eh? :-) I guess we should look for more of these. I’m sure we’d be surprised at how much we agree on....well, some of us would. :P

I agree. I know you and I might “duke it out” on the forum. But I always respected you. I think if we had a real heart to heart, me with whisky, you with whatever you enjoy, we could end up as good mates who theologically disagree and that’s it =)

Agreeing to disagree without animosity is the way to go. You can have your whisky and I’ll have a coffee.....howzat? :-)

Thank you and welcome to RF. It’s good to have you here. :-)

Thanks for the pick up. Probably an auto correct. I only changed that recently...Fixed now :-)

We are slowly getting the hang of it. Tablets and iPads seem to work better than PC's. I have Zoom downloaded on my iPhone, iPad and PC but the iPad is by far the easiest to operate. Good video and sound, easy to "raise hand" and answer. We have mics turned off for singing. We're getting better at managing the technology. :-)

Unfortunately, if one is not careful, one might do like me, and clutter one's tablet, failing to prioritize. Just like with my room - not wanting to throw away, but having little room to keep.
I stored videos I wanted to share with students who did not have internet access, and now I got the JWLibrary, I have no space :(

Ah...a fellow hoarder! Its hard to downsize, but sometimes its what we have to do. JW Broadcasting and the Online Library take no space at all! LOL I know its time I had a big clean out and a visit to the local rubbish tip. No point in keeping it all.

I have posted in threads without checking just because I was interested in the topic and been pulled up b y the mods. It would be so much easier to flag such threads so we know that responses are restricted before we get drawn in.

The still get me occasionally when I accidentally post in restricted political forums. I've suggested changes to reduce the accidents. We'll see if anything happens.

Since that happened to me, I tend to look 1) when they are hardly any responses, and 2) my spider senses start tingling. :D Joke. Somehow my subconscious seem to alert me, idk. :)

She is quite traumatized as are many older ones. Its a terrifying thing to go through. We are gradually cleaning up all the soot and ashes. We are getting a bit of drizzly rain at the moment, which is very welcome. Wish the fire areas could get some downpours. :-(

Thank you my brother....we are OK for now, but the smoke is thick again this morning. My daughter is in more danger than we are and had to be evacuated a while back. She lives on acreage closer to the fire front. RF is a nice distraction for me at the moment....thank you for your support too...it means a lot.

Opal mining is nowhere near us. Lightning Ridge is about 1,000 klm away and White Cliffs is about about 1200 klm north west of us. Opal mining is an 'outback' experience usually in very hot and dry places. Are you into fossicking?

I had to look up “fossicking”. Oh, yeah! I love stones, and opals are one of my favorites! I have some nice Lightning Ridge and boulder opals. Jehovah’s given us so much to enjoy....and explore!

We are enjoying some much needed rain actually. The drought and fires here are early and summer isn't even here yet. I dread it. We have our convention in a couple of weeks. Late but worth waiting for I hear. :-)
