Today I was talking to a gentleman sitting next to me on my fight to Sydney.

When enquring what he was doing in Hervey Bay he informed me he was consulting / working on our new Fraser Coast Waste Product Plant at Nikenbah….

Apparently by next November we will all be drinking each others pee! (for water). OMG!!!!
Oh well I’m sure it will be adequately treated!

Crickey wonder when that info is going to be made available to the Fraser Coast locals?

hmmm…if we have to drink potable water, so should Brisbane and the silly hoo haa about building a dam that hasn’t yet been proven viable may come to an end???

Lately I have been getting very hot when trying to sleep at night and thought I should purchase a fan to save on air-con electricity costs for as long as I can this summer.

Upon going to The Good Guys Hervey Bay yesterday I came across the deal of the year so far for me!!!! A pedestal fan with OMG (Oh My Gosh) A REMOTE CONTROL!

At the remarkable price of $37.50 with a one year warranty I was beside myself.

Now when I lie in bed and switch on my 42″ plasma with the remote, I can pop the fan on at the same time without getting up! (Quite lazy I know and who wouldn’t love it!)

I noticed Stretan Stojiljkovic has a web page on Hot Offers; I think this fan should be a definite inclusion!

*Remote Control

Height adjustable pedestal fan

Tilt adjustable oscillating head 

Safety fan guard

Whisper quiet

Stable base

This morning I attended a business breakfast for Fraser Coast Young Professionals.

Fraser Coast Young Professionals is a group consisting of professional and social networks that provides a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere for its members and their guests. It’s an opportunity to make new contacts, promote expertise or activities, and create business, professional and social opportunities.

Over 40 young professionals attended the meeting at Simply Wok and were made welcome by Jeromy Bates (Europcar), Chris (Eden & Riviera Resort) and Mandy Lord (Commonwealth Bank).

Jeromy stated the group is for likeminded people and hopes it will become the premier business network for Fraser Coast individuals under 40. The group hopes to build strong friendships to keep the younger generation in town and provide activities for them.

Steve Dixon who was a guest speaker said the group was “truly inspiring” and spoke about important key life factors such as knowing where you are going, controlling your own destiny, taking jobs that will further your career and there must be planning at every level of life stating that work is real and results matter!

Brett for Astro Alloys also made a speech and delivered a very important message, “Buy Australian during a recession!”

If you’re a young professional and interested in attending these functions make sure you subscribe to the website to be notified of upcoming events or head to www.fcyp.com.au and learn more!

Once again the Deck Restaurant was packed for another huge night of Salsa dancing!! Dance enthusiasts came from everywhere; Sunshine Coast, Bundaberg, Maryborough, Gold Coast and of course Hervey Bay!…..click here to read more.

Thank you to the Deck for letting us have so much FUN!

Today I went to check out the Pier Festival at Urangan which was extremely popular with large crowds in attendance. I caught up with my friend Lolita who studied a certificate in arts with me that was working at the festival creating henna designs (temporary tattoo’s). My friend Naomi and I decided to celebrate the day out with a piece of body artwork. Naomi decided on and anklet and I went an armband. The tattoos’s last between 10 – 14 days and are made from natural ingredients.

Quality natural brown Henna derived from the ground leaves of the Henna plant is mixed with only natural ingredients to form a self-made paste that is applied to the skin with a design of decoration. It has been a popular style of adornment on the skin in many cultures for over 5000 years, traditionally used for bridal, ritual and sacred ceremonies but these days has found its way into mainstream contemporary culture, design and body adornment.

What’s so good about Vegemite?

It’s been made in Australian since 1923!
The fact I get to eat it every day and have pretty much since I was born!
It even goes in my suitcase when I travel!
My favourite is vegemite and cheese on toast with a runny fried egg on top, OMG delicious!!

Vegemite is a nutritious and versatile food. In fact, it’s one of the world’s richest sources of B group vitamins. B vitamins assist in converting carbohydrate, protein and fat in food into much needed energy for the body. In addition, B vitamins are important for proper functioning of the nervous system, muscle and brain. Some B vitamins such as B6 and folate are required for production of red blood cells in the body, whereas niacin helps maintain healthy skin and a digestive tract.

Vegemite

• Has no artificial colours or flavours
• Is virtually fat-free
• Contains no added sugar
• Contains protein
• Is suitable for Vegetarians
• Is more tooth friendly compared to jam or choc nut spreads
• Makes a delicious and nutritious breakfast
• Has only 40kJ in a 5g serve
• Is Kosher
• Is Halal 

How do you like your vegemite?

Here’s mine, thanks to EL!

These photographs were taken by Charles Ebbets in the early 1930’s depicting daily scenes of the workers who participated in the construction of the skyscrapers between 1920 and 1935. The photographs were taken in New York on September 29th 1932 and published in the New York Herald Tribune in the Sunday supplement of Oct 2nd of that year. They were taken on the 69 floor of the 70 that is the GE building in the Rockefeller Centre.

‘Lunchtime atop a Skyscraper!’

Paparazzi, will they stop at nothing!

Have you ever googled yourself?
That’s right, type in your name and see what comes up. Looking up my name tonight I found several references over several pages. On the 3rd page I came across an amusing one, my post on facebook to Oprah. I posted this a month ago and already over another 100 people have posted on her profile since then.

Law of attraction, put it out there!
