Re: Y2K For Aussies NON NF

[Guest guest]

Here's a list for the Aussies

1. Make sure you have at least a weeks supply of s ( six to 10 dozen

cans )

2. Make sure you have heaps of ice.

3. Make sure you have at least 6 Eskies ( koolers )

3. Make sure the ute ( cool car ) tank is over full.

4. Make sure you have 6 family sized boxes of Froot Loops

5. Make sure you know where your board shorts & surf board are

6. Make sure you know where you are ( this is important ! Australia is a big

big place, the morning after !!! )

I'm all checked OK ! How about you Adam and ???

No thanks Marcus, a friend of Sharons on the puppy-raiser list sent us some

along with some Musk flavored Lifesavers. Both items were such a treat.

Put a little vegemite around the garden to keep the critters out.
