Quantummansite

My dad pointed out the existence of http://www.quantummansite.com today and I have had a lot of fun reading their pages.  Anyway, they will cure you (or your pet) of basically anything. You just have to download their medicine!!  It's very straightforward, you "simply open a portal with your purchased product's Portal Access Key (trademark) (PAK - trademark).  Data then transfers from a remote quantum computer to your brain's neutral network for the benefits desired."

My arm hurts a bit and this sounds rather good.  So I dropped them an email:


"Hello.  I've just come across your website.  I've had some
pain in my shoulder for a while, but have been worried about the
side-effects of standard pain killers for such a minor problem.  I'm
therefore interested in your Zaxis™ product.  However, my wife is
pregnant and I want to be absolutely sure that anything that I use
cannot hurt her or the baby.  Has there been any testing to show that
Zaxis™ would be okay?  Also, how many doses would you suggest that I
take?"

They got back to me really quickly:

Dear George:

You can be absolutely sure that all of our quantum medicines are 100% safe for a pregnant woman and her fetus. Please refer to the clinical trial titled: "Prenatal Polycystic Kidney Disease" wherein Supercillin was use to cure the mother's child, while in the womb, of a usually fatal kidney disease... a feat not possible with chemical based medicines. Whether it is Zaxis or any other quantum product on our site, a pregnant mother and her fetus are safe regardless of the dose uploaded. One of the huge pluses of all quantum medicines is their extreme safety profile.

There is a dosing guide on the aite for Zaxis.  I would recommend for her 8 to 10 doaes at a time as needed for pain.  If she has back pain carrying the child while in utero, Quantum Chiropractor (QCHiro) would be terrific for her.  In fact, I happen to know that QChiro was also used
for that mother whose child had the kidney disease mentioned above.  Although the dosctor did not mention it, it was highly effective for her back and also does many positive things for the fetus in its cramped confines while in utero.

Thank-you for the opportunity to answer your questions. I look forward to any other questions or concerns you may have.

Sincerely,
Dr. John Thomas
Senior Medical Advisor


So, there we go!! Sha, by the way, does not have a bad shoulder.  I think that Dr John Thomas misunderstood my email a bit!

Wentworth Pass walk

It's a long way down!




 It's a wonderful walk. I've just discovered that it's only 5.6km, but it took about 4 hours and feels a lot longer. That's mainly because of all the ladders that you have to climb down.  I've always been amazed at the crazy people that made this walk - it's simply chopped out of the cliff edges with sheer drops of 100m or more on one side.  It's difficult to find any information on the history of the walk online, but I have just come across this site which even includes a movie!  Apparently the walk was created by James Somerfield Murray in 1906 (actually he built the National Pass walk not the Wentworth Pass walk, but they're the same for the most dramatic bit).  It's shocking -- there isn't even a wikipedia page about why this guy decided to spend 2 years blowing up bits of the cliff to make a walk.  Anyway, he did and it's great. We didn't see too many animals, but we were concentrating on not falling off the ladders.  However, we did spot two rosellas, a flock of black cockatoos and heaps of white cockatoos.  The most incredible part was at the bottom of the valley where we heard the cicadas. They were really loud and we were with them for at least 1 hour.


There are lots of different species of plants in this picture (including the mountain devil)





A very large tree (turpentine?)

Comments on my blog

It seems as if nobody can add comments onto my blog posts.  I'll try and fix it.

Bobbin Head


Finally got one!
A few days ago we went fishing.  I had been wanting a trip to Brooklyn for ages.  We got there and couldn't find a parking spot.  Then we found a parking spot, but apparently the place that I'd chosen wasn't very suitable.  So we had some coffee instead.  Then we headed back to Bobbin Head in the Kuring-Gai National Park.  This time there were plenty of fish.   Sha's dad caught the first fish ... a flat fish.  Then Sha's mum caught a bream.  We kept them for a while, but they were quite small and Sha convinced us to throw them back in.  Then we drove up the hill and found a goanna, rosellas, kangaroos and a turtle.  

Last night we stayed up to midnight and then had a relaxing day.  In the evening we went out to Collaroy beach.  



... and another

Frog in pitcher plant

I don't think that these baby black swans can fly very well
with those wings
I didn't expect to see a frog in a pitcher plant today, but we did.  At least Sha's dad and I did.  Sha and her mum went shopping.  I've just realised that I need to know Sha's dad's name.  Apparently it is YuKui Du.  Okay, I'd better remember that.  It doesn't mean anything.  The frog was sitting in the bottom of the pitcher plant and seemed happy enough.

We also saw some strange plants with long, fluffy, red, trailing bits.  We then walked across the botanical gardens to the opera house.  Then we met about 1 million people all walking in the opposite direction so we found Sha and her mum and went home.  I've just made some pizza bases and we've all populated them with our favourite ingredients. Sha and her dad had an argument about bacon.

Sha told me yesterday that her father was very confused about why I wanted him to swim across a river yesterday.   That was embarrassing.  I'd been trying to mime canoeing and obviously got it rather wrong.  Luckily he didn't jump in the river.


... but they can swim


There was a frog in here



time to eat the pizza

Lunch in a cave

Yesterday I went crazy.  We were driving round and round in circles in a mega-shopping-centre.  We had entered assuming that we'd be able to find some lunch, but once in we couldn't find a parking spot, nor the exit.  It was horrible.  Anyway, it reminded me that I hadn't been on a long walk in the bush for ages.  So, today Sha and her mum had a relaxing day at home while Sha's dad and I went bush walking.  We simply walked out of our house, into the Lane Cove park and then kept walking for 3 hours.  It was beautiful.  We had lunch in a cave.  I made the lunch - no chicken feet in sight.  

Unfortunately I didn't charge my camera battery and so don't have any pictures, but I've found some photos on the web of the various birds and animals that we saw.
Eastern Water Dragon. From: http://danny.id.au/photography/galleries/20050115-water-dragon/p/51151231-water-dragon.jpg. We saw a huge number of these dragons.  They mainly sat on a tree trunk.  One jumped into the water as we came past and then swam away.

Common Fence Skink: From: http://australianmuseum.net.au/Uploads/Images/5947/Cryptoblepharus_S%20Swanson_b.jpg.

Red browed finch.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-browed_Finch.  These were everywhere!
Eastern spinebill: http://www.avianweb.com/images/birds/honeyeaters/easternspinebill2.jpg.  So beautiful!


Crimson Rosella:from wikipedia.  These birds always seem to come in twos.  One of these wanted our sandwiches.
We also saw lots of cockatoos, a kookaburra sitting on a BBQ and a Cuckoo.  Sha's dad got excited by all the big fish that we saw in the river.

Canoeing on the Lane Cove River

What a relaxing hour.  We drove down to the Lane Cove National Park and hired a canoe for Sha's dad and myself.  We left Sha and her mum on the bank!   As soon as we'd passed the first corner then we had the whole river to ourselves (apart from a large number of lizards, birds, and things that went splash).  The water was perfectly calm and we could glide up to ducks, herons, moorhens, cormorants, darters and water dragons.   Our conversation was limited to saying "big duck" and "fish, is it?" and so most of the time we just silently paddled up the river.



Then we came home and played Donkey Kong which is not very peaceful.


Sha and her parents ambled around taking a million photos
of this Kookaburra
