Well Strap My Face To The Side Of A Pig And Roll Me In The Mud

This was on the noticeboard at the doctors.

Well what do you know, it does exist!

Interesting Cultural Taboos

Keep
Your
Pants
On !

That's how you fight cervical cancer. That's the nuclear weapon for cervical cancer, the ultimate solution.

Read what the pamphlet says:

Cervical cancer is caused by infection with certain types of a common virus called Human Papillomavirus (HPV). There are approximately 40 types of HPV that affect the genital areas. Anyone who has had any kind of sexual activity involving genital contact could get genital HPV. In most women the virus is harmless and has no symptoms, but in some women infected with certain types of HPV, the virus may persist and lead to cervical cancer. Abnormal cervical cells including pre-cancerous abnormalities are also caused by certain types of HPV infection and are usually detected during a Pap smear.

The Pamphlet won't say this:

Keep your pants on till you are married.
Marry someone who has kept their pants on.
No HPV
No Cervical Cancer
100%

Why is it that "lifestyle changes" are strictly enforced on asthma and diabetes patients. Why is eating butter denounced as irresponsible if you have high cholesterol. Why do we feel so little compassion for fat people's problems because all they have to do is stop eating and get some exercise.

And yet we cannot, will not, dare not make any suggestion about sensible sexual practices because this is such a cultural taboo. Political correctness and libertarianism gone mad. You cannot tell someone what to do in sexual ethics (unless you are telling them to do more, that's OK of course) even if we are sleeping ourselves to death.

Ariah Park Show (2008)

Sunday was show day.

We had a look at the pavilion. (Katie won the most outstanding exhibit for her patchwork bag and Mum won the most successful exhibitor in needlework)

Then we had a few rides.

I must have said 'no' 65 million times.

but everyone had a good day.





















Claire on the Music Trip




















Katie and Elie go down the slide




















Katie's bag is the yellow/green one. You can also see Elizabeth and Claire's aprons.






















Meredith's doll, 'Rosie', is the shorter one. She's very lazy and won't sit up straight.

The Famous Five Go Camping

Mum was away for the weekend at Women's Convention, so the rest of us went camping on Friday night. We went to Mandamah Tennis court and cooked sausages on a campfire.

The weather was fantastic and we had a good time.

The Harpers and Denyers and Damien and Max came too.




















Sorry, but I didn't think to take photos until after we started packing up. (So that's Harpers' Tent)
