I have been retired for a number of years but I liked our method of weaning even though it took some extra help. The night before we weaned the cows with their calves were put in a pasture joining a meadow with fresh aftergrowth. We tried to have 8 or 10 on horseback the next morning when we...

Thankyou, Burnt for the bump. I checked out the web sight. I came to the conclusion that Julie Gilgard hasn't gotten where she is by her looks. I hope she has a conservative background. The article didn't mention her stand on aliens or the relationship between church and state. It mainly...

If the former Prime Minister with his policies of keeping alliens from taking control was considered a "Lemon" and was forced to resign, I'll say the Australian government is headed in the wrong direction. Let's only hope the "orange" that replaced him is a sweeter and more beautiful prime...

Oldtimer, I am disappointed to hear that Prime Minister Rudd has resigned but thanks for the information. Could you fill us in on more details?
