I come from near Danni Minogue (but don't hold that against me) and spent a big part of my life in Scorching Hot (mind you it was Freezing Cold and Windy in winter) and couldn't agree more about letting kids go out and grub in the dirt and share their icecreams with the dog and occasionally even crawl into the kennel with the dog and have a nap together. I didn't share his bones though. Anyway I am still here and quite healthyLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01900423915389831515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079030046955493030.post-86082675704840730702011-05-09T23:35:11.490-07:002011-05-09T23:35:11.490-07:00Hello for near the "stinging jellyfish"....Hello for near the "stinging jellyfish". And yes, our toilets & sink/bath water does drain the other way (or should that be the correct way). <br /><br />Also have to agree that a few slugs & stray dog hairs never did my kids any harm.MerryWAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443982141248333089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079030046955493030.post-67100242670892125462011-05-09T23:30:30.636-07:002011-05-09T23:30:30.636-07:00by the way...love your boots in that pic!by the way...love your boots in that pic!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02120703777369555505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079030046955493030.post-13758865440440713482011-05-09T23:30:08.784-07:002011-05-09T23:30:08.784-07:00The whole worm thing had me laughing!

And [apart from mouth ulcers!] it didn't do me any harm. <br /><br />And, like your bug-snacking, it gives me a great story to tell to this day. Because look! I'm here, telling you! <br /><br />Dirt mongers of the world should stick together.<br /><br />:-DJulie Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606220227331834682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079030046955493030.post-65431037896073209742011-05-09T08:43:36.045-07:002011-05-09T08:43:36.045-07:00I am big believer in the power of dirt in kids lif...I am big believer in the power of dirt in kids life! yea you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08330901242810245004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079030046955493030.post-7455774145450156942011-05-09T08:18:39.980-07:002011-05-09T08:18:39.980-07:00Ah your an aussie at heart.

Did you ever see the movie Alice to nowhere. Part of my Aus obsession. I always justify things I or my kids do by saying "Now if we lived in a tribe an Africa" Dirt and bugs go a long way.Hi Octane Jewelryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064676328466340532noreply@blogger.com
