Before anybody sees it and freaks out, I wanted to advise that I have just seen the spammer hit one of my old articles, and I'm emailing the link to T-Man right now, as well as posting in the 'Forum Bug Reports', so don't worry. I'm sure the spammer will soon be thwarted again ! Mig XXX

  Hello, Mr. Blog Spammer, it's me, Miggy. Remember me ? ... I'm the owner of the blog that you spammed last night. Congratulations. Everybody that read my blog today went away with the shits thanks to your Viagra ads. Mr. Blog Spammer, I do not want any Viagra. Neither do I want a cheap holiday in Outer Mongolia. I also do not want any sex toys, exotic seeds, work-from-home jobs or "once-in-a-lifetime opportunities". All that I want, actually, is for you to most f...

  In the interests of freeing our creative spirits of their material bindings or something really heavy and funky and hopefully non-boring like that, I propose that we on JU have the first ever official "Blog In The Nude Day" (aka "BITND" for short). I further propose that we celebrate our 'bare blogging' on this day by using our nakedness as a metaphor for our spiritual lightness, and pour forth into our respective blogs the light and love this fills us all with !. Yeah !....

Who wants to be a millionaire ?. You do ?. Well, sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you with that, but I can offer you my pretend version to test how well you speak 'Australian' For $100.00 1/ If I tell you that I would like to ‘ snog ’ you, what am I actually saying I’d like to do ? a) Punch you Kiss you c) Hug you d) Ignore you For $200 2/ When I say I am ‘ chuffed ’, do I mean I am ... a) Tired Pleased c) Overfull d) Sick For $400 ...

I am no speed typist, but I do okay for myself with the glaring exception of my striking the "y" key in place of the "t" whenever I try to type too quickly or am overtired. For the sake of demonstrating just how challenging this can make deciphering the resultant 'writing', I will now switch to the problematic "y" instead of "t" mode for the remainder of this (thankfully short) blog. Iy sneaks up on me. I yhink I'm fine, yhen I syary yo gey yired and iy happens. My fingers syary a ...

part of a recent article of mine briefly touched on how many points it is possible to accumulate via launching a deliberately 'toxic' or 'inflammatory' post, then sitting back to watch the score go up via a hundred outraged people promptly arriving to announce that the post is offensive/stupid/racist/sexist/blah blah. it was discussed that, instead of adding fuel to the fire in a 'toxic' post and rewarding it with points at the same time, we could simply bypass it and go instead to the 'n...

  I ‘slept funny’ last night, and I am now faced with a day full of awkward movements caused by the resultant stiff neck.   (In fact, I slept so funny that I want to go and have a nap right now ... and I only got up two hours ago !).   I watched a TV program recently where a male comedian described how, as a teenager, he would hear his (then aged mid-thirties) father complain every morning that he ‘slept funny’.   The father would enter the k...

  It was my husband’s ‘work’ Christmas party last Saturday night and he made me go.   We have had the same petty argument every year since we married about his festive ‘business’ functions.     I hate them.   My idea of hell is meeting 25 people at once.   (My husband, on the other hand, considers socialising to be normal !. The nerve !).     Despite my reservations, the event itself was not go...

  I am receiving a lot of comments regarding the spammer, so I want to clear something up. I am doing my best to manage it, but it's not easy. T here is a limit to what I can control. To be honest, I'm also becoming distressed about being constantly asked to change my blogs to 'no anonymous comments' or to 'delete the spam'. These are old blogs. They show up on my post list in the forum view. Comments CANNOT be deleted from this view, and the tim...

    Many, many moons ago, in my single-girl days, there occurred an incident that to this day is probably still the single funniest thing that I can recall from my ‘youth’.   Several friends and I were at a dodgy-yet-packed-to-the-brim bar in Sydney, when my girlfriend Tania caught the attention of a rather handsome boy. In due course, said boy casually sauntered over and began a conversation with her.   As soon as the boy had gone to visit the bath...

For those of you who are wondering who is this mystery 'imajinit', he is none other than the fabulous, amazing, darling, dishy, debonair and all round Mr Wonderful, Michael, aka mj, aka the man who shares my brain. Imajinit and I have a theory that we somehow inhabit the same brainspace or some other equally vague blah to explain the fact that we agree on almost everything. Well, we did until he started stalking me in my blog ! Woo Hoo ! ... mj, you had me going for a while. I thought...

It is true that our 'sea change' has brought me many challenges. I have coped with these with varying degrees of success, but there is one area in which I fail miserably, and that is in tolerating the vermin known as the visit(wh)or(e). Moving to a coastal location is wonderful in that your home becomes a holiday destination for those that you love and miss. Yet, moving to a coastal location is revolting in that your home becomes a holiday destination for everyone else you know or have ...

It all started with my saying " dingo ". Then chiprj said the word " dingo " made him laugh. So of course I said it again !. He then reminded me that I had recently laughed at the word " gopher " in his blog. Which I did. (Which I will now do again ... gopher ... hehe ... go 'fer this ... go 'fer that ... wanna go 'fer a swim. bwaaaa haaaaaa.). Then Texas Wahine admitted that the word " dingo " made her laugh too. (I liked this, so I said it one more time !). Then hi...

In a recent blog of ( the fabulous ) Sabrina, ( Link ), a comment was made by BlueDev ( Link ) that contained an extremely funky little smiley with a flamethrower. BlueDev was kind enough to 'share the wealth' by providing a link and instructions on how to use the 'alternative' smiley collection. This is how I feel about the alternative smiley collection: Yes, I like it that much. I would even go so far as to say that, when I found the alternative smiley collection, I felt like d...
