Alistair, there was a big fuss here when we reached our 4 million mark. The baby who was considered to be the 4 millionth NZer was feted and received quite a lot of attention in the media.
10792. SnowOwl - 8/11/2004 6:50:50 PM Congratulations to your son, Jay. We're also celebrating the fact that our #2 son, after being a dilettante for far too many years has finally got a real job (and he's only 30 mumble)!
He has a dynamic girlfriend from the Czech Republic and I promised her a medal if she got him working. Obviously her powers of persuasion are a lot better than mine, and now she's waiting for the big award ceremony. 10793. alistairconnor - 8/11/2004 6:57:07 PM How did he end up with a Czech mate? Is he the globetrotter, or did she come all the way to NZ to seek him out? 10794. Magoseph - 8/11/2004 7:22:36 PM Of course you could always copy the pages one by one to a Word document and save it, but why?
Pelle, I did copy the documents once for the daughter of an 88-year-old blind relative of my husband whose family roots are Swedish. For my pains, we were nicely rewarded when the man died. Sorry for not explaining better what I really meant. It is this--Sveriges folkmängd just nu: Refresh doesn't work.
10795. PelleNilsson - 8/11/2004 8:10:20 PM Im impressed by "folkmängd. Should I claim a percentage of your rewards, I wonder.
You don't have to refresh. The new figures are pushed at you. Right now 12 persons to go. 10796. alistairconnor - 8/11/2004 9:32:58 PM Tree to go... isn't this exciting.
Don't answer that... 10797. PelleNilsson - 8/11/2004 10:43:16 PM It has happened. 10798. Magoseph - 8/11/2004 10:51:56 PM I checked it out and I can see only 8 999 962 are there. How can I refresh the page, please? 10799. Jenerator - 8/11/2004 11:18:19 PM SnowOwl,
I recommend this, it's just feminine enough.
 10800. judithathome - 8/11/2004 11:24:57 PM Morning, Jen...how do you like this weather? I have the windows open! In August! In Texas! 10801. Jenerator - 8/11/2004 11:44:29 PM I love it! Last night, my husband and I had dinner outside and enjoyed the fall-like weather. My flowers are all really happy and confused. 10802. Magoseph - 8/12/2004 2:40:15 AM We have the heat on, people. 10803. Ms. No - 8/12/2004 4:03:50 AM Lord, I'm envious. I'm still sleeping with no covers on and the fan blowing on high. 10804. SnowOwl - 8/12/2004 5:20:15 AM How did he end up with a Czech mate? Is he the globetrotter, or did she come all the way to NZ to seek him out?
He ended up with a Czech mate by way of checkmate. They "met" playing chess over the Internet. After a couple of years she came down on holiday, they met in person. She went back to London where she's been living for several years. He followed her. They're now together in a little love nest in Shepherds Bush. 10805. marjoribanks - 8/12/2004 6:43:13 AM In reading through the past week or so of this forum, I must say that I've gotten immense pleasure and not a few real laughs out of the charming tag-team posting match of Woden and Resonance.
Just adorable, aren't they?
I want photographs. If not here, then I'll e-mail for 'em. 10806. wabbit - 8/12/2004 7:47:01 AM Photos, we want photos!
Meanwhile, my sister tells me they have boarded up the restaurants and the house, unplugged the electronics, moved the valuables upstairs, collected the pets, made lots of ice, charged up the cell phone and are as ready as they can be for Charley. Now we wait and hope it isn't as bad as Georges was. 10807. wabbit - 8/12/2004 7:48:15 AM SnowOwl, what a nice story. So many people meet online these days. 10808. judithathome - 8/12/2004 7:54:55 AM Now we wait and hope it isn't as bad as Georges was.
Nothing is as bad as George is.
10809. tmesis - 8/12/2004 8:28:26 AM Sons? Daughters-in-law? How old is everyone here?? 10810. tmesis - 8/12/2004 8:32:45 AM Because if this is an online retirement community, I'm really sorry about that gay porn photo.
