HELP! My brain's dying. I need a good riddle or brain teaser or something.
Also, I just learnt recently that there is a tribe on an island somewhere that still lives as they always have, shoot arrows at any helicopters that pass over or try to land, and kill anybody unlucky enough to be washed up there. No-one, therefore, knows much about them or even how many there are. Bit unbelievable in this day and age, huh?
Just posted, thanks for the heads up. And no need to apologies, I needed a laugh. Did you know that the women in a tribe in the Amazons cut off their right boobs so they could release the Arrow through the Bow, without it getting in the way, well so my 5th grade teacher said, after we called our camp tribe, the Amazon girls.
Oh and did you know the worlds youngest mother was a 5 year old Peruvian girl called Lina Medina. Her parents initially thought she had a large abdominal tumor… but she was eventually transferred to a hospital in Lima, where she delivered a six-pound baby boy by Cesarean section on 14 May 1939. Amazing but sad hey????
Well we are trapped in the city so not quite sure whats going on at home. My BIL is out fighting the fires, all DH's rellies are packed and ready to go, but cant actually leave their town as all the roads are closed. Apparently our town is under ember attack and we can't get hold of any neighbours to find out whats going on. It is all slightly surreal at the moment. Yesterday I was making jokes about fires, today it is real.
There was a status update from Lis on facebook - she has lost houses in her street. So scary.
Now continue your funny conversation girls! Sacha - I think I saw photos of the tribe - they were taken by helicopter and they were all painted orange. Amazing to think there is still people like that. Apparently scientists are warning against contact with them as 1) they will kill you and 2) our germs would kill them as they have never been exposed.
Em, how is everything? You must have had a worried night. Keep us updated.
Ooh Mel, those sorts of stories fascinate me! You're right though, that is super sad about the 5yo. It's very hard to believe she would get a period that early but truth is stranger than fiction sometimes, as they say. I just can't allow myself to think about how it happened and how her body coped with a pregnancy. Anyway (sticking head in the sand) lets have more of those stories - even if you can't prove they're true! LOL
Lis, hope all is well in your street.
Megan, are you lurking? Haven't heard from you for a while...
Em - How is everything?? Where are you? Hope everything is ok.
We are in Narre Sth, Vic and there were 6 houses in the street totally destroyed. Our street is a L shape, we live on the little part, but the houses along the long part back onto a big grass area and powerlines. It must have happened so fast cause we got home around 3ish, then 45 mins later we smelt smoke then looked out the front and there were people everywhere. At first we just thought it was 1 house,then I had friends message me saying there were 6 houses. We drove past this morning, totally devastating for those people who lost their homes, belongings everything! And for all the other people around the state. To think most of these could have been deliberate really makes me feel sick that people can think to do something like this. I hope there will be some sort of fundraiser for the people in our street, or if any had kids I would give them so many toys, no question. Its just terrible.
On a lighter note, Livvie hate her dinner again last night!! It was just a zuchini slice I had in the freezer. I bought some of the rafetys (sp) today so will see if she goes ok on them.
