Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

had to laugh

One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, her thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "My! dear child, why are you crying?"

The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and That she needed it to help her husband in making a living for their family.

The Lord dipped His hand into the water and pulled up a golden thimble Set with pearls. "Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked.

The seamstress replied, "No"

The Lord again dipped into the river. He held out a silver thimble Ringed with sapphires. "Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked. Again, the seamstress replied, "No."

The Lord reached down again and came up with a leather thimble. "Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked.

The seamstress replied, "Yes."

The Lord was pleased with the woman's honesty and gave her all three thimbles to keep, and the seamstress went home happy.

Some years later, the seamstress was walking with her husband along the riverbank, and her husband fell into the river and disappeared under The water. When she cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked her, "Why are you crying?"

"Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into the river!"

The Lord went down into the water and came up with Mel Gibson. "Is this your husband?" the Lord asked.

"Yes," cried the seamstress.

The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!" The seamstress replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to Mel Gibson, you would have come up with Tom Cruise. Then if I said 'no' to him, you would have come up with my husband. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I'm not in the best of health and would not be able to take care Of all three husbands, so THAT'S why I said 'yes' to Mel Gibson."

And so the Lord let her keep him.

The moral of this story is: Whenever a woman lies, it's for a good and honorable reason, and in the best interest of others. That's their story, and they're sticking to it.

ROFL! Yes, we do.

Passed by vb's place today and took some furtive pics, appears he is going mobile with aquaponics - has a large fishtank on wheels, lined with plastic and lengths of piping to be run out as he moves the system for better service

- how many pipes are on that ute Les - can't that woman count?

PS - Brian and I should have taken you to Gympie with us. Could have used somebody with these loading skills

So what !!... reckon there's only about thirty bucks worth there.

I think we got ripped off

Mind you - we will have a bit more than our immediate needs - though I do have all sorts of plans for my share of them (which is 70% of that lot)

Reckon there'd be a 10% spotters fee apply....

10% of what. THe $30 or the 50 pipes. Might be a bit expensive to send 25metres of pipe from Bris to Gerringong

Sad but true, unfortunately....

If my bother hadn't of changed jobs a couple of months ago I could of got them freighted down to Sydney for nix... zero.... b@stard!

Yeah - but you get the 70% left on the ute

Had several counts and got over 50 lengths each time, also the person was interested in AP (probably why it took 2 hours to load it up) so I gave her the BAP address (without the .au), may have her and the hubby checking out the site

I'll be watching you old man

Les is that Ange?

Best if I let them introduce themselves J
