no, sorry im not :( my dad is anti-Harry
it all sounds like jibberisch to me, which by the way I am good at speaking, as well as muddled
Jibberisch: streiknarn!, chookem' Arry!
Muddled: one day an emu pecked my train bridge and rained apple juice while revving on a Hairy motorbike inside an 8" pipe full of sewerage which was from the left side of Unicorn land.

Harry Potter! Gibberish! Pffft. Half a world full of people would disagree.

I'm not a huge fan, but believe anyone who has that much talent to write books like that, with that much imagination deserves mega cudos.

But this has totally gone off topic.

Just wanted to say sorry for your loss of your beautiful girl to a nasty snake.

Nevermind. What is your dad's complaint about Harry?

I don't believe him, but he said when he atched it he felt sick... he does not allow us to watch anything like that....
I wouldn't say he is strict for a dad, I would just say he is unreasonable, and if things don't happen his way they don't happen at all...
not saying anything but I can understand if he is too tired because of his cancer, but some times, he limits us too much...
he also stopped me from getting a pig (which I am still angry about 7 years later)
back on topic:
somebody said something about an owl... I might 'lure' one here, anybody know if hens and hobbits was joking?
and how can you protect from 3-5m snakes?
please note: my dad is also anti-dog (he doesn't want one) FOR THOSE WHO ARE ABOUT TO SUGGEST THAT...
sorry capslock on :( not bothered to highlight and change...

Hi, Buffy,

Sorry about your dad's cancer, illness takes its toll upon the entire family and probably hits the children the hardest as they sometimes don't have the carefree freedom of their peers, there is always that extra worry and burden and fear of what tomorrow may bring.

No I wasn't joking, I know when we have owls and kookaburras around they help naturally control with the snakes and mice.

Enjoy your chooks and celebrate your many gifts. I am sure that your dad is very proud of you, some men just have difficulties expressing their emotions.

Take care
Hens and Hobbits

Buffy, your dad sounds a lot like mine, but cancer affects their mental health too and well they are never quite the same.
I have read Harry Potter, (my mum and dad have too) and even Philip Pulman. I would love a Maremma with a lovely long wooof, wooof, wooof, but I am not allowed one :( I have my chooks and they have me and they have mystical healing powers that make you feel better and make bad days better ones...

Kookaburra's are really effective snake killers, they sort of sit up in a gum tree having a laugh and going about their own business they swoop down on their prey and fly back up the tree and start bashing what ever is in their beaks lifeless and swallow it.
