Wonder of wonders 265
 

I wonder if I can say that I'm very saddened today to hear of the passing (on the job) of the skipper of what we Queenslanders call "the little tug that could". During the terrible floods here at the beginning of this year, this man got in his little tugboat with his offsider and they saved our largest and most important bridge from disaster.

qld floods - The Little Tug Boat that Could

I wonder about the word "hero" and how heroes don't like to be called that usually. This humble man was Peter Fenton.

True Heroes are humble
 

Hello, my friend.
True Heroe are humble, so RIP, Skipper Peter Fenton.
Hugs

I wonder if I can send a huge G'DAY to bashful BB. No need to be bashful here! :winky:

I wonder if it's really cold in the areas where some of you live and if many will get a white christmas.

I wonder about everyone who posts here and hope that they'll enjoy the holidays.

I wonder about the joys of internet shopping and how I have made the most of it this year.


:grouphug:

Wondering how Scotts best friend and sister are doing today.... Last night their dad came home drunk, he had hit a pole with his car about a block or so from thier house. Scott and his friend and sister came to our house with the car keys and wanted to use the phone to call his uncle...... sigh.... its a very long story.... short version is Scotts friend and sister ended up staying the night with their uncle.

Wondering too if i'm ever gonna get to the point that i dont get triggered by the news on TV. so many abuse stories this time of the year..... :(

I wonder if i can leave hugs and prayers for those who are hurting, and feeling depressed during this holiday season....

I wonder if every news program would end with this picture..they should!

I wonder that 24/7 news makes me crazy and then I switch to Little House on the Prairie reruns because it's about building character, the importance of family, and doing the right thing.....

I wonder how much Mr.Alffe is enjoying his new "toy" Kindlefire...

I wonder that it's waaaaaaaaaay over my head. :p

I get a picture of starving children on the left ...and Christmas shoppers with overflowing baskets in a store. It says Define Necessity.
It's another priority thing! It's also on my fb wall....can you see it there Barbo?

Alffe re your last post this has been my Christmas ending on my e-mails at work

A Christmas thought

While you’re out there Christmas shopping
Dodging trolleys, with your head veins popping
Stop and pause and give some thought
To the tons of food that you’ve just bought
Will you eat it all? Can it all be stored?
Will it go in the bin once you get bored?
Please stack your fridge with some refrain
Cause in less than a week you’ll be in ASDA again

Please ‘Don’t waste food’
So many in the world do not get that option!!!!!
