    I want to know...How did David unerrringly steer the right course with the mower?

    Could the Wiggles have had anything to do with it? Did he have his IPOD hooked up?

  • Southerly: Still a Scientist at Heart,

    Dictionary:

    Thing
    –noun 1. a material object without life or consciousness; an inanimate object.
    2. some entity, object, or creature that is not or cannot be specifically designated or precisely described: The stick had a brass thing on it.
    3. anything that is or may become an object of thought: things of the spirit.

    This particular Lawn Thing was certainly not lifeless....

    I found an Urban Dictionary meaning for "Thingish"

    Thingish
    The period of time when you are seeing someone before you are officially dating.

    2. The awkward phase when someone asks you and your "significant other" if you are dating and you both look at each other, look away, and realize neither of you know.
    Mary and Bob have been a thingish for a week now.

    The Mowing must have been an interesting first date.

    Bloody Catholics!

    Those prodies hurt more. I can vouch that when you take the weed eater to the tall grass and hit the white anglo saxon protestants - the effects are essentially the same - lots of swearing and stirred up religious fanatics!

    But having suffered both, I would take the catholics on if I had to have a choice. Waspies are truly nasty bastards.

    BEEn there, done that. You wax lyrical David. Maybe you should have put a hex on them. .... combed the area beforehand. ....mounted a sting operation.? ...Or hived them off to an orchardist. ......

    PA posters do drone on .....royally. Time to larvae it alone. Up the workers!

    ..oh dear...

    What did you (politely) say to Jen when they hit: "Hey Honey" ?

    Ummmm......were you wearing a bonnet?

    Sigh......

    Time to get back to reality........Its a good one too. Maybe time for all ethnic bashers to take a good hard look at themselves and figure out is it really worth it?

    Back to the FM Post.

    Didn't the school know a long time ago that the kids did the deed?

    Wasn't it interesting that it was not until someone dobbed them in that they all of a sudden needed to be be realigned....er... counselled?

    Russell.
    I think the primary sentence of the AGS study tells me that this survey is insufficient to justify replacing (an alleged) successful programme.

    The results from this study show that a 48-week TC
    intervention for transitionally frail older adults did not lead
    to a statistically significant reduction in fall risk.

    Yes, I did note "the trend" but we need to be careful about extending "trends" until the data fits.

    And be very wary of a survey that appeared to be designed to give the "expected result" where the authors practically admitted they thought TC would be better:

    First, in determining the sample size
    requirements, the authors did not anticipate the time delay
    required for these transitionally frail persons to be fully
    performing the TC forms and overestimated the TC benefit
    over WE
    .

    My italics

    The second is a Reuters news clip. Again hardly significant.

    Lets wait and see.

    Islander. Yes. Group therapy is cheaper???

    I will be asking the Minister to demonstrate the efficacy of it compared to the Otago programme.
