Thanks Ken. It's not like there's a on believe/off believe switch. You can't make yourself have faith. Either you have it or you don't. Here's how I feel:

They call me the Seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't find what I'm after
Till the day I die - The Seeker. Lyrics by Pete Townshend

In my thoughts. ♥

I spent an hour or 2 last night, looking through Ross Anderson obits, as I believe Tom has as well.  no luck.  

Miss you Ross. Be well, where ever you are.

Speaking about hearing from someone, Stalkers has been quite for some time now.

Yea , where's Stalkers ?

You mean Captain Starkers...   good question

He probably is "stalking" someone.  I see Shaunna on Facebook a lot. I'm sure if Mark was sick or worse, we'd know.

I remember he was talking about he had Vertigo and he was falling down a lot.

I think he was also moving to Tasmania

Nah, not Ross.

You may be thinking Mrs. Starkers. She did recently move to Tasmania.

Oh, Mark...lol.  My bad.

THIS FROM Mrs. Starkers:

"We are great we just moved from Queensland Australia back to Tasmania Australia we don't have internet access at the moment but should have it in 3 to 10 days."

Cool. I was hoping we didn't lose another one.

I'm still alive and kicking...... though I can't kick as high as I used to.  Yup, that Arthur Itis has a lot to answer for.

Anyway, I've not been around as much due to being very busy packing and organising the move to Tassie... then unpacking once we got here.  It has been a very time consuming and expensive move, but I'm so glad we did it.  The heat up there in Queensland is stifling and now we're enjoying temps ranging from 5c to 7c overnight to around 15c during the day.  It's usually warmer than that at this time of year but we're currently in a bit of a cold snap.  Suits me though.

Not only that, the smoke from all the bush fires wasn't the best, so breathing up there could become somewhat laboured at times.  My sister is telling me that it is much worse since we migrated here.  Besides, my son and daughter can no longer bother us.  Both are addicted to ice and only ever wanted me for money and whatever else they could get.

The pair of them owe me about $10 grand that I'll never see, so finances will improve for leaving them behind and cutting the ties.  Worse still, they both are violent and nasty these days, especially when I refuse to give them more money, and that's not what I signed up for all those years ago. 

Yeah, some might think I'm being too harsh on them, but they're both big enough and ugly enough to fend for themselves.... if they so chose to.  Besides, I'm just too old to be tolerating their bullshit.

No unpacking or organising today, I'm taking the day off to recuperate and relax a bit.  Don't know when I'll next get back, but at some point I will.

It's Stalkers!!!   LOL.. Good seeing you here, Mark.

Good to see you back starkers!

Hey Mark I'm glad to hear from you. I'm in the process of moving too. 50 years of crap I got to get rid of. The house is too big and it's draining my pocket, so I'm down sizing. All I want is my 3 TV's, 3 computers, a laptop and my toothbrush. Moving's a bitch ain't it.

My suggestion is if you haven't touched it in 10 years throw it out.

Thanks to all for the welcome back.  I'm not too sure how often I'll log in, being there's still so much to do here while we settle in, but I will pop in from time to time to say high and give updates, etc.

Right now I'm getting organised to go out and do some furniture shopping.  I'm downsizing from a queen size bed to a king single because I have less space in my new room than before, so it's necessary to go smaller to fit in all the stuff I want and need.   It's all good, though.   The house may be smaller than our last place, but it is cozy and quite comfortable, which is all that really matters.

Anyhow, that's it for now, will catch you all next time.
