We believe in doubling up. We'll happily celebrate Christmas twice - once in the heat of summer (December), and once in July (because it really is too hot at real Christmas to do it properly). We'll take two New Years celebrations - Chinese New Year is always getting bigger! - not to mention several war memorial days and the usual Australia Day, Guy Fawkes Day, St Patrick's Day and Labor Day etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-77760095809209405792010-09-04T16:53:53.871-04:002010-09-04T16:53:53.871-04:00The mention about stars from one patient--I take i...The mention about stars from one patient--I take it that he was trying to act like he was crazy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-83482520654239499822010-09-04T16:49:48.531-04:002010-09-04T16:49:48.531-04:00His appointment was full of stars, you (and Mr. Cl...His appointment was full of stars, you (and Mr. Clarke) should feel honored. -.-Ben Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-17479510275357506412010-09-04T16:20:53.280-04:002010-09-04T16:20:53.280-04:00Now you know why there were several recipes of jel...Now you know why there were several recipes of jello shots in your printer tray!<br /><br />Enjoy your holiday weekend!Karennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-53453183153965485242010-09-04T14:35:25.661-04:002010-09-04T14:35:25.661-04:00The dog ate my homework...
