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?)

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.
