I am a 53 year old woman from Australia.
I am a drainer, and have worked for my local council for near of 25 years
and am still suffering the consequences of my actions! lol!!!!!!!!!!!
My favourite pastimes are writing, sketching and spending time playing
computer games.
I love good comedies, world war two movies and documenteries.
I love 60's and 70's music
and I adore all animals, big and small, my favourites being birds.
Thank you Symphony for this wonderful picture you did for me.
Each week I will be putting something different in this spot.

Worse Punishment?
An Air Force cargo plane was preparing for departure from Thule Air Base in Greenland. They were waiting for the truck to arrive to pump out the aircraft's sewage holding tank.
The Aircraft Commander was in a hurry, the truck was late in arriving, and the Airman performing the job was extremely slow in getting the tank pumped out.
When the commander berated the Airman for his slowness and promised punishment, the Airman responded: "Sir, I have no stripes, it is 20 below zero, I'm stationed in Greenland, and I am pumping sewage out of airplanes. Just what are you going to do to punish me?"

Daddy is Going to War - True Story
During the Persian Gulf War, I was assigned to go to Saudi Arabia. As I was saying good-bye to my family, my three-year-old son, Christopher, was holding on to my leg and pleading with me not to leave. "No, Daddy, please don't go!" he kept repeating.
We were beginning to make a scene when my wife, desperate to calm him, said, "Let Daddy go and I'll take you to get a pizza."
Immediately, Christopher loosened his death grip, stepped back and in a calm voice said, "Bye, Daddy."

Military etiquette
Officer: Soldier, do you have change for a dollar?
Soldier: Sure, buddy.
Officer: That's no way to address an officer! Now let's try it again. Do you have change for a dollar?
Soldier: No, SIR!

Communication Breakdown...
The reason the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines squabble among themselves is that they don't speak the same language. For example, take a simple phrase like, "Secure the building."
• The Army will put guards around the place.
• The Navy will turn out the lights and lock the doors.
• The Air Force will take out a 5-year lease with an option to buy.
• The Marines will kill everybody inside and make it a command post.

Sergeant's philosophy
The Company Commander and the First Sergeant were in the field. As they hit the sack for the night, the First Sergeant said, "Sir, look up into the sky and tell me what you see?"
The CO said, "I see millions of stars."
1st Sgt.: "And what does that tell you, sir?"
CO: "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Theologically, it tells me that God is great and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it tells me that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you, Top?"
1st Sgt.: "Well sir, it tells me that somebody stole our tent."

We four have found today -

A rustle of leaves as it’s moving on by -

The helipad is ready and I’m taking off in flight
There’s something very precious on the wind -
She is the golden Moon of light that travels by and by
She leaves when day is calling and the Sun lights up the sky -
Some peoples see us on our bike
And ask us where we're going -
He woke up one morning to a great thickly fog
That was spreading all over the land -
I came home one afternoon to find an emu at my door
I looked at him, he looked at me, I wasn’t really sure -

With the light of the day reaching up from beyond the horizon,
We awaken once more to remember. -
He looked at the one who was holding the gun
And a smile ran across his stained face -
The clip clop of hooves on the cobbled streets sounded
The dawning was not far away34 lines, 29 comments, August 29. In Animals

Even though the years are long30 lines, 25 comments, August 29. In Love
