In addition to kerosene lanterns, we had a kerosene fridge. It was my job when I was in high school to keep the kerosene tank filled up.

We had a couple of those on the farm when I was a kid - 75 years ago. Also had the Tilley pressure lamp with the pump to pressurise the tank.

I think the Hawks have lost a couple to injury for the first part of the season. First state of origin tonight. Just finished and Victoria beat WA by 24 points, 125 to 101.

Get a laptop. Then you'll have the options of CAPITALS, italics, bold, underscore, or ALL FOUR.

Yes, it was Friday the 13th. The day started badly when I got to the Men's Shed and the computer wasn't talking to the monitor. The Asus logo came up when the monitor was turned on, so it was working OK. Lights on the USB accessories were on, so the computer was OK. But no home page etc. appeared on the screen. Checked the interface cable, but nothing seemed amiss there. Could be the display card in the computer.

There's no NEED to EMPHASISE. Do you SHOUT in EVERY conversation you have? There was nothing to emphasise in your last post. You hit the shift key at least a dozen times in that post. Capitals should only be used at the start of a sentence or for someone's name. You can pick up a keyboard for under $15 at Officeworks or Target. And stop taking shots at moderators or you will end up suspended. (Willie posted the previous comment while I was typing.)

Had a doctor's appointment yesterday. 55 minute wait beyond appointment time. He gave me a referral to a mob to check out my loss of balance and very bad hearing. The place was called Dizzyology. I called to make an appointment. Got a recording saying "Our reception operates 9 to 5:30 Monday to Friday." then nothing. As It was only 3 pm, I rang again, got the same. Twice more, the same. I thought, I'll go down there, because I have difficulty hearing on the phone, even with plug in ear phones. Looked at my watch, it was flat (rechargable). Plugged it in to recharge. Opened the front door, the dog shot past my leg and across the street. Rounded him up and got under way. School leaving time, Mum's taxis everywhere, plus 2 buses in a narrow street. Driving in the left lane, a line of cars stopped to turn left. Eventually got into the right lane, a line of cars stopped to turn right. Twenty metres from just about every set of lights, they turn amber. Finally got there at 4 o'clock. It was 12 km. Walked into the place, a room with 6 chairs, no reception counter. A table with a sign "Have a seat, someone will be out at your appointment time." I was there to make an appointment. Took a seat and waited. The walls were frosted glass with about 18" clear at the bottom. I could see a man's legs moving around a treatment table, and voices like he was talking to a patient. I waited....and waited. After about an hour and 20 minutes I saw the hydraulic thing under the treatment table lowering it so the patient could get off. The door opened and the man came out followed by the patient, whom he directed to the toilet. He said, "I'm sorry, we don't have a receptionist. I'll be with you when I finish this appointment, It may be about half an hour." The patient returned, and they went into another consulting room. After about 10 minutes, they came out, the patient left and the man took my referral letter, went into an office and organised the appointment for March 20. He explained that there were only clinicians at this location, the receptionist worked from home because only people with an appointment went to that location. So, after well over an hour and a half wating I finally left just after 6 pm. I wasn't driving all that way and leaving without the appointment. I got to explain the back story to my problem, and learned more about cochlear implants, which he thinks I have a good chance of qualifying for. Guess today's date.

None of them are worth a vote. Looks like I'll have to attend to have my name crossed off and vote for Kermit the Frog.

Correct. Stephen Spielberg

Not Tom Hanks.

Worlds richest celebrity.
