It’s great to see a boss pointing these things out to the employees. Sure, a cash handout is great, but ongoing work is much better. Have a read of the letter that this employer sent to his employees here. As a small business owner, I agree with this email entirely, even though I only employ [...]
At the 2009 South NSW Big Camp in Jindabyne last week, Grenville Kent had an interesting story that he shared with the Youth in one of the morning meetings about a discussion that he had with an engineer he was sitting next to on a plane. I’d like to share it back the way I [...]
You know that 9 letter word that you can take one letter away from all the way down to 1 letter, and it will still be a word? I can never remember which word it is. Of course, it’s a pretty useless piece of trivia, but I’m going to put it here so I can [...]

Does your teddy work hard? Does he or she deserve a holiday? To Stockholm in Sweden perhaps? Well, it would seem there are some people over there that are offering just that. So if your teddy deserves a holiday, for 149 Euro’s these people over in Sweden are more than happy to take your teddy [...]
As some would know, Rhi has decided to name her spotted python Shiva. Shiva was a Hindu god that had snake guardians, just in case you were wondering. Shiva fed today (the 19th) for the first time since Rhi bought him. He was fed on Monday last week at the pet store, and we were [...]
Rhi finally got her pet snake today! Isn’t he cute? He is a baby spotted python and is about 20cm long at the moment and is very quick. He doesn’t seem particularly fond of me either, at least, not at the moment. At least his bites don’t hurt since his teeth are still so small. [...]
For anyone that doesn’t know what Pathfinders actually is, it is similar to the Scouts teen and youth programs. There is a lot of information available at Pathfinders Online.
