I have never made it to the Tug Boat.. It's on my list now for my next trip home.

It was such a flukey thing, how this cousin found me -- I messaged her to explain while I deleted her post (thank goodness I'm one of the group admins) & she apologized. The post she linked to was about my grandparents, not IF related. I wouldn't mind people reading just that post, but I don't especially want them poking around the rest of the blog. I'm hoping that even if they got a notification with the link, they will try it & it won't work, & after a try or two, they will give up & move on & forget about it. <br /><br />In the end, I guess it's not the end of the world. But it IS annoying. :ploribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-42317851570962571212012-04-24T00:55:49.761+12:002012-04-24T00:55:49.761+12:00It is a gorgeous picture.

I always feel like its just a backdrop, not really real, like it can't possibly be THAT beautiful!<br /><br />Tsunami risks, yup, we always think of that when we see those houses perched right out on the coast at waterlevel. So many houses built into sides of hills here - doesn't bear thinking about for a Big'Un. Stilts would definitely make it interesting :-/<br /><br />yay for non-pang days aplentyStinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656595158457726802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-44442204502771165742012-04-23T15:14:18.376+12:002012-04-23T15:14:18.376+12:00I've not been out in boats much in my life, bu...I've not been out in boats much in my life, but when i have i've found it very relaxing - if i don't get seasick!<br /><br />You do have a fine grasp on words, images, and feelings Mali. Good job. I'm glad you're at a point that things like this don't have the tug of longing anymore.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03272307621143522274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-421411026747376262012-04-23T15:03:08.111+12:002012-04-23T15:03:08.111+12:00Loribeth, I can't believe your cousin (distant...Loribeth, I can't believe your cousin (distant at that!) did that without your permission! Talk about "repurposing content!" What an invasion of privacy. Argh! Though I am glad that you haven't gone private - I was desperately trying to see if I had your email to say "what about me?!" I'm sure I wasn't the only one.Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-65091365583071721832012-04-23T14:34:17.822+12:002012-04-23T14:34:17.822+12:00I love this post!

I live in a city that is not known for anything more than small minds, state pride, and big hair. The scenery is dismal and gets worse all of the time, so it's so nice to think about what distant climes are like. <br /><br />I'm fine with "repurposed content" there's no guarantees that I would see every post every time, so it's all new to me. :)CandyGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664818861874419334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5725106142359702200.post-60174846158006071982012-04-23T13:43:32.204+12:002012-04-23T13:43:32.204+12:00It's called "repurposing content," l...It's called "repurposing content," lol. ; ) Great little slice of life. <br /><br />By the way, I have had to temporarily take down my blog -- a distant cousin stumbled onto it & posted a link to one of my posts on our family Facebook group (!!). I managed to delete her post & link and made my blog private before too much damage was done (I hope...). I'm hoping if I lay low for a week or so, it will all blow over. :p I'll still be reading & commenting in the meantime, though!loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.com
