  It was hard saying goodbye to you too Dagney and also to AudeSapere. I am going to miss you both badly when I go back home, we've had such a great time together. I've enjoyed every minute of our sightseeing trips and other fun times. And thanks to you both for a lovely afternoon and evening yesterday (even the visit to the Drs was ok having you both there!!)

  And also to Tasting Freedom and his lovely wife - thanks also for your company and good times and great cooking. And TF'swife - I had a great time with you on all our shopping expeditions together. Thanks so much for including me in your family. I'll miss you too when I'm back home.

  besty and sweetpea - even though our time together was short I really enjoyed being with you. Thank you for listening to my story and for your encouragement. It means a lot to me.

  Flipper - thanks so much for your encouraging phone calls. It's been great talking to you in person and sharing our stories and experiences. And thanks for your good advice.

  And to those I missed out on meeting due to being unwell the last few days - I hope that I can come back over here soon and that we do get the chance to meet.

  love and hugs

  Flipper I'll give you a call maybe tomorrow or later in the week - it will be nice to catch up with you and your wife. I am having lots of fun. There are so many beautiful places to see here but of course the best part by far has been meeting up with the lovely people from the board.

  Thanks Dagney for putting this on the board.

  I have had the most amazingly wonderful time over here in California and meeting up with ones from the board has been fantastic.

  Being able to meet face to face and share our stories and experiences has been so good.

  Thank you Dagney, Aude Sapere, Tasting Freedom and his beautiful wife, and Besty and Nugget for your great company and also a hello to Cyberjesus for the phone chat. You are all such strong, courageous and beautiful people and it has been a real privilege getting to know you all.

  Phillip and Barbara - looking forward to meeting you too and anyone else that would like to join us.

  Hopscotch - a very happy traveller

  does a bear shit in the woods?...

  i`ve never really cared about that question until today... bears do shit in the woods.....more importantly on my lawn... .

  the garbage can took a beating.....it`s bear proof but has some really cool bear scars now... he dragged his huge bear bum up my cherry tree.....busted branch's everywhere... .

  Outlaw I can imagine the damage that bear could do. I recently saw photos of a small plane that had been ripped to shreds by a hungry bear trying to get the food left inside it. Scary stuff.

  How could any creature pass something that large,without screaming and passing out?..

  Some women can do that when having a baby. I'm talking about the not screaming and passing out bit.

  Hopscotch

  ps - you'd need to be careful you don't leave any food in your car. Imagine the damage the old bear would do trying to get it.

  We're doing a life saving work (I thought that's what the guys dressed in red and yellow at the beach did)

  Keeping the congregation clean (usually said in conversation after someone was df'd)

  JWs are the happiest people on earth (then why are so many of them of them on anti-depressants)

  I have to go out in field service this weekend because I need to get my time in (see, field service really has nothing to do with the above mentioned life saving work)

  We're looking for sheeplike ones (were these the householders that were eating grass?)

  We're under angelic direction (really?)

  serenitynow - that really made me smile.

  Mrs Jones - Thanks for posting the video. I knew there was a trick to folding them but couldn't remember what it was.

  Soldier77 - Thanks for the answer to No 22. I've wondered that myself. And while I'm nodding and smiling at the person, all the time I'm dreading it in case they ask my opinion on what they just said!
