Didn't even blink at my asking price.

**elemenopee** · 17-07-2009, 09:05 PM

yes she is nasty to me heaps and hasn't really done anything nice for me ever, however i'm proud of my sister for finishing uni and doing her exams in the middle of organising the english premiere league games and all that with perth glory and some queeensland team etc.

my brother (her twin) is just a ranga smartie pants anyway so yeah dur of course he finished uni.

well done to my sister <3

i have concerns though, my brothers gf seems to think that she's just gonna live the high life since my bro has graduated, and my sister and i are all like 'I don't think so girlfriend'. but we haven't really said that. I don't know what to do.

p.s. my sister = hot in new modelling campaign (on the left)

and yes she actually is that tall and has legs as long as that (she got them from me ;P)

**Ange** · 17-07-2009, 09:08 PM

awww good on her. hotamale.

for the record, i think your pretty fucking swell yourself loz.

the bond between sisters is at least 3 times stronger than the strongest industrial strength superglue in my 3rd kitchen drawer.

my sister and i are VERY different people but cut back all the bullshit and strangely enough you end up with 2 very similar people who operate from a place of love.

cheese poast for your toast.

**elemenopee** · 17-07-2009, 09:15 PM

thanks ange

she just wasn't sure about what to do at uni or where to head to in life only a year or so ago and look at her now! <3

i'm really proud of her!

(edit: yes she is still mean to mean heaps but i don't know why.)

**Sway** · 18-07-2009, 05:06 AM

THe superglue is always found in the 3rd kitchen draw, if not the 4th. Weird . . . sort of.

Tramapoline!

A frustrated dad sold his family trampoline for $1 after a series of expensive mishaps. He explains in his Trade Me listing: "If I had a chainsaw, I would hack it into small pieces on a stormy night while cackling like a maniac ...
I got it for free from a neighbour, and thought, 'Bargain' ... Little did I know that it would end up costing me $742.

Incident 1: Tandem jumping collision. One kid jumped up, other was coming down, downward one's front teeth went into the head of the upwards one. Tears, blood, cracked teeth ... Result - $48 at A& E (kid number one's head), $84 at dentist (kid number two's teeth), $24 painkillers.

Incident 2: Son sneaks out at 8pm for sneaky jump. Can't see edge, falls off into tree stump ... Result - $72 x-rays, $48 at A&E.

Incident 3: Two kids decide to throw stones on to neighbour's roofs while jumping. Smash one neighbour's leadlight window. Old lady with the wobbly head next door thinks tapping on roof is demon/lava/dead husband/Jesus/Santa in May. She 'comes over all queer' (that's what she told me, hatefully, may I add) and rings ambulance in case she's dying/possessed. Ambulance man tells me off. Result: Leadlight, $140; ambulance, $90; flowers for wobbly head lady, $38; flowers for leadlight lady, $38.

Incident 4: After just four weeks, I decide to kill trampoline. Try to dismantle its springs. Trap finger. I'm sure I heard trampoline chuckle. Result: $58 A&E, $78 x-ray, $24 wine and painkillers."

I'm going on leave for holidays and gave my boss an email saying I would be going on Friday. He rang me straight after receiving it thanking me for working on the project, all my hard work (lol) and said he hoped we worked together again soon. Thought it was pretty good of him, especially since he is on holiday in Bali. Good to be appreciated.

**hitmonlee** · 20-07-2009, 02:40 PM

yesterday these people came in and ordered relatively complicated coffees, ones where i could tell they are pretty fussy about the way their coffee is served (soy caps, extra extra hot, coffee on the side, skinny cap extra extra hot) and i was warned that every single time they come back and complain that it is not right.. so to be prepared for that to happen. anyway they didn't complain, and they came back again today. after they had been served one of them came back up to the till - i was totally expecting a complaint - but she just wanted a napkin and said "we saw it was you on coffees today and were really happy cos you made them just right yesterday". yay. feels good to do something right.
