I have been to many Scientology events in my life and over the years seen and heard the amazing things that have been done to help people less fortunate than myself.

Some interesting events held in the USA:"While perhaps best-known as the founder of the most vital and rapidly growing religious movement on Earth, L.

Can you stand the tension! We are now down to the final match. I have bet on with an English friend of mine. At first I thought the All-blacks had a chance but then they got whooped by the Wallabies, so okay -- I still have to barrack for the Wallabies in favor of the British team -- I am an Aussie by marriage, after all. Here's a taste from the Sydney Morning Herald - It's not just the

I have been keeping my husband posted on the rugby results. It still seems early days yet, and the exciting games will be coming up later on. Now this looks like it was a tight game - can't wait to see it on video. Ireland held off a fierce challenge from Argentina to qualify for the World Cup quarter-finals at Adelaide Oval with a nerve-jangling 16-15 victory. The Irish avenged their shock

Alright so while I have been busy not keeping my blog going, many games have occurred in the World Cup. Now, while the Wallabies play someone else and the Allblacks play someone else, I'm okay --- but once they play each other I am in serious trouble. I'm not allowed to barrack for the Allblacks (even though they are my home team!) and if the Wallabies lose, well we don't want to go there.

Wow!! Did you see the phenomenal build up and the event that kicked off the Rugby World Cup in Sydney !! How incredibly exciting. Oh to have been there. My husband is going bananas being so far away from the action so I am trying to keep him well updated via the Net. The Sydney Morning Herald site is giving a good coverage with lots of photos, so that makes it more bearable. Here is a

Did you see the article in the Sydney Morning Heraly about the crocodile? Happy birthday, Eric Corey Mead feeds Eric a chocolate cake, crafted into a replica of the official Rugby World Cup ball, as a gift for his 57th birthday. Eric, a five-metre, 700-kilogram, man-eating saltwater crocodile had a special meal yesterday as World Cup fever gripped the Australian Reptile Park near Sydney.

Was very sorry to hear about Slim Dusty -- he definitely contributed to Australia's spirit and I am sure his new home will be well deserved and that he has a bright, happy future.

Hi, Well here I am living in the US of A in good old smoggy LA to be exact. I am married to a Queensland Bushie - the real thing - from Dalby. He is my Bryan Brown, my Hugh Jackman, my Crocodile Dundee, he's everything a real Aussie male is supposed to be. Worked on stations and loves the bush. He found Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health in Sydney some years ago. Read it sitting
