Palomino Island

Hi Ladies!

Palomino island is where the sea lions live. It was a 'smelly' experiencefor this trip... as we neared the island, the smell of 'guano' was reallycoming up our noses,.... so much so that the tour guide gave us acotton swab dipped in 'alcohol' (like the nail polish removersmell!)...told us to hold it close to our nose while the boat stays therefor us to take photos....


3/15

The whole island surface is covered with sea lions... and we saw a fewHumbolt penguins in another small rock.

Some brave ones jumped in the sea to go nearer to the sea lions(supposedly to swim with them) but... just near enough...


4/15

This is included in the tour which costs USD35.00Just a 4 hour tour. I shall never forget the smell.... !!!! Urrghhh...

Other than that, the boat ride is quite smooth with a few bumps inbetween ... choppy at some areas but only for a few minutes

Do I still look the same ? No.... have aged of cos,....hahaha....

Love,Swottie xxxx

The Amazing Hair Dryer :

[Translated from Mandarin](by Z. D. Zhou)

Not long ago a friend took her ten-year-old boy to my houselooking for to my wife, saying that her child had hiccups allday long. The child was very uncomfortable and unable to eatat all. After she checked, my wife said there was a musclespasm in his diaphragm.

Without hesitation, she took out a blow dryer, turned on thepower and started blowing at the boy's stomach. About 10


6/15

minutes later, the boy burped and fell relieved. We weresurprised that this thing can do the trick. But my just wifesmiled.

A few days later, I had a stiff neck when I woke up in the

morning. I could hardly turn my head. I recalled my stiff neckproblem was treated a few times by acupuncture and cuppingwhen I was younger. I asked my wife for the similar treatment.She said there weren't any needles at home or any suitablesmall jars for cupping. She just took out a hair dryer. I couldn'thelp laughing. Again? This thing can cure stiff neck too?Amazing!

She blew on my shoulders and my neck for about 15 minutes.My neck was really loosened up. I could turn my head now.Later in the evening, she repeated that on me once more. The

pain in my neck was significantly reduced. I crowned her the"Queen of blow drying".

She explained that this was inspired by the method peopleused in the old days. In hospitals, with all the modernequipments we have, doctors do not need blow dryers. Back inthe old days, in rural villages especially, doctors were poorlyequipped with medical supplies. So they came up with othermeans to treat patients with common pains.

Suddenly I realized this is the thermal effect on pains with the

heat generated by a blow dryer. Modern physiotherapyequipment such as electric, laser, thermal, ultrasound andothers can easily generate heat for effective treatment. Theyare, of course, more powerful then a blow dryer. However,when they are not available, using a blow dryer to generateheat will also work, temporarily at least, on common painssuch as back pain, muscle spasm, stiff neck, leg cramps, etc. Itis easily accessible and easy to operate as long as there iselectricity.

The blow dryer is really amazing. Try it. Hope it works for you

too.

Queen of Blow-Drying? wow! I tried it the other day(when it was a dark & gloomy and rainy day) for my stiff neck & stifffingers (arthritis and rheumatism runs in my family) it worked likemagic! Now I need to run out to buy a hair dryer for every room in thehouse

Samy Vellu was visiting India when he fell and broke his jaw.

He was unable to speak. Being the great leader that he is, hecontinued his grand tour.

On the last week of his visit, although unable to speak, Samyinsisted on sending a message home to his Cabinetcolleagues..

Samy caught a chicken and showed it to the camera. Next hetook a goat, and showed it to the camera.

Finally he took a bag and displayed it in front of the camera.

Dr Ling was the first to see the video clip. He said, "Samy istelling us that India has insufficient food because he showed usa chicken and a goat and he wants Malaysia to donate bags ofrice."

Mahathir watched silently then said,"No lah....what Samy istrying to say isHE IS COMING BACK.

The whole Cabinet was puzzled and look to the old man for anexplanation.

Mahathir reasoned, "AYAM KAMBING BAG."("I am coming back" in Indian accent).

1+ 2= 3Until a child tells you what they are thinking, we can't even begin to imagine how their

mind is working....

Little Zachary was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything...tutors,mentors,

Flash cards, special learning centers. In short, everything they could think of to help his

math.

Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took Zachary down and enrolled him In the local

Catholic school. After the first day, little Zachary came home with a very serious look on

his face. He didn't even kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and

started studying..

Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Zachary was hard at work.His mother was amazed. She called him down to dinner.

To her shock, the minute he was done, he marched back to his room without a word, and

in no time, he was back hitting the books as hard as before.

This went on for some time, day after day, while the mother tried to understand what

made all the difference.

Finally, little Zachary brought home his report Card... He quietly laid it on the table, went

up to his room and hit the books. With great trepidation, His Mom looked at it and to her

great surprise, Little Zachary got an 'A' in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity..

She went to his room and said, 'Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?' Little Zachary looked

at her and shook his head, no.. 'Well, then,' she replied, Was it the books, the discipline,

the structure, the uniforms? WHAT WAS IT?'

Little Zachary looked at her and said, 'Well, on the first day of school when I saw that

guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around.'

Have a wonderful day and God Bless!

My cats and I :

We had been thinking of adopting a couple of kittens for a while but kept putting it off.

Out of the blue, we drove to the local Cats Protection League and there we found our twokittens. Maisie and Ally came into my life in December 2000 when they were about 3

months old. From the day they arrived I have been besotted with them. They are botheverything I would for wish in a cat, each having some of the characteristics I love.

Here is Maisie when she was little a real cutie.


11/15

Maisie is a real character. In the beginning it was almost as if she was learning to meow,

she would say mee then ow! It was so very funny. She was very timid when she came to

live with us and took awhile to come out of her shell. Then there was no stopping her!She is dainty and petite and is a beautiful tabby cat with stunning stripes on her coat.

As she grows older (they are both 10 now), she is quieter but still has a mad half hour inthe mornings when she runs about as if shes doing a marathon. That would be her daily

exercise. She is also very vocal when she wants something. Maisie is a very loving cat

and a lot of fun as well.

Here is my other fur baby, Ally.Allys a real sweetie and of extremely good temperament. Shes a lap cat and would seekmy lap when its cold (smart!). A very good hunter, Ally has brought us many presents

mice, birds, shrews etc some we managed to save.


12/15

Ally is also very clever, here she reading an article in the papers about neutering cats!

Ally is top cat in our home so she keeps Maisie in check.

During Maisies mad running sessions, she sometimes waits in a corner and gives her a

smack needless to say, that soon stops Maisie!

Enjoying a snooze together

Enjoy looking at these pictures of Ally & Maisie
