How to Celebrate National Draw a Dinosaur Day? ✍🤔💭
It fascinates me when working in the Op Shop and seeing the amount of dinosaur plastic figures and toys that are donated and then eagerly bought, just how fascinating kids (and adults) find these things.
The Evolution of Owls, Dinosaurs and Other Bird-Brained Theories?🦉🧠
My birthday is in September, so by the time this Yowie hits its BEST BEFORE date, I will be a dinosaur ... if I haven't gone extinct by then, that is;-)
I was trying to see how long it would take me to get a green or red mythical Yowie figure that for some reason is included in the with the real dinosaurs:-)
But I'm having as much luck at coming across a Yowie in these eggs as people who go out looking in the bush for real ones.
Dinosaurs and anything to do with dinosaurs bore me to death as much as the subject of whether Bigfoot, Yowies or Yetis are/were real?
I do like dragons, but to me dragons are strictly mythological to me, just like I think Bigfoot, Yowies or Yetis are:-)
Ironically, I bought a few Yowie eggs at the local supermarket to see just what is so appealing about plastic dinosaurs, and it beats me.
I'll be popping these plastic figures and their paperwork in the free lucky dip bin in the Op Shop for some lucky kid to take home, and be thrilled by having them around the home, unlike me.
I wish they would bring out some Aussie Rules Yowies and then I might start buying them again, but no more dinosaurs for me.

How to Celebrate National Inane Answering Message Day?📱📲📴🖁📵🙉🙊🐵

| My old landline phone |

| Every January 30th |
Back then, people had answering machines attached to their landline telephones, and it was not uncommon to receive a senseless or meaningless message.
The day was created by Thomas & Ruth Roy of Wellcat.com with the aim of encouraging people to change, shorten, replace, or delete those ridiculous and annoying answering machine messages that waste the time of anyone who must listen to them.
While technology has evolved, the spirit of the day remains relevant.
Today, we’re dealing with inane voicemails on our cell phones, proliferated by mechanized robocalls.
These messages can range from political and marketing spam to scams of all kinds.
These messages can range from political and marketing spam to scams of all kinds.
National Inane Answering Message Day serves as a reminder to take action against these annoying messages.
The day is a testament to how communication has evolved over the years. From the days of landline telephones and answering machines to the era of smartphones and digital voicemail, the way we communicate has undergone a significant transformation.
However, one thing that has remained constant is the presence of inane messages. As we continue to rely on technology for communication, it’s important to remember the purpose of National Inane Answering Message Day and strive for clear, meaningful messages."

I've had a landline phone ever since I moved out of home at around the age of 20, now with my mother's passing this year there is not much point in having a landline phone and a mobile phone, so for the first time in my life I don't have a landline phone.
Funny thing is I still come home and look to where my old phone used to be in case someone has left a message.
Old habits die hard, I guess.

How to Celebrate January 29th, 2026?🦮🌻👀🧩

Jake Kotze's piece,'Life is a movie' |
When I went to the cinema to see 'Hamnet' yesterday, I came out to see the Guide Dog moneybox in the foyer, which I usually put some spare change into, but realized that I had none in my pocket.
Maybe they need to be fitted with card swipers these days?
Luckily, I knew the next day was going to be 'National Corn Chip Day', so I ducked into the supermarket and bought two tubs of dip and some corn chips to eat the next day.

I'm sure that Chris is laughing on the inside ... at least I am.
Thanks for brightening my day up, Chris.
Cheers.

How to Celebrate Pop Art Day? 🎭🎨🖌
I just finished reading Darren Hayes autobiography 'Unlovable' today, where he states in the book that his ex-wife looked like the woman on the Duran Duran 'Rio' album cover, with her ice green eyes and dark purple hair.
After watching '28 Years later: The Bone Temple' I found it ironic that Darren writes in the book that his first boyfriend was named Jimmy:-)
I even saw '28 Years later: The Bone Temple' on a ScreenX cinema in the Logan Hyperdome, a shopping center that Darren mentions in the book as a complex with a very 90s name and a place that he probably wouldn't be able to walk through again when he became famous, without being mobbed by fans.
At that time Darren writes about in the book, he and Daniel Jones were writing songs just up the road from the Hyperdome at Daniel's place.
If I Had Legs I'd Kick You ... is About What Exactly?🦵🦿🍗⚽
I even pulled into the Argonaut corner shops to see what was there now, as my nieghbour from my childhood street in Brisbane used to work for many years at the newsagent that used to be there, but is now a takeaway restaurant that appears to be closed now.

Funny thing is that as soon as I had read Darren state that in the book I went and saw '28 Years later: The Bone Temple' and lo and behold the crazy doctor pulls the record out of his collection and starts dancing and singing to 'Rio' off that album and other Duran Duran songs.
I even bought the book from the QBD bookstore in the Logan Hyperdome last year, when I was buying luggage for my American trip.

Looks like Rose may even become even more famous this year?
With Rose playing a metaphorically drowning mother, I find it ironic that Darren Hayes childhood street in Logan City is named Lake Road.

It's a small world, that's for sure, as I told a co-worker that I was going to take a drive down Darren Hayes childhood road on the way home and they told me with a look of astonishment that is the road they live on:-)
When I first moved out of home with my then girlfriend and now ex-wife, we rented a unit behind the fire station up the road for about a year, before moving back over the other side of the freeway.
Darren writes in the book about walking from his old place to these shops and even doing the walk when he visits the street now in his adult years.
I only bought the book because my mother always thought that Darren was the guy who helped her in the McDonald and East menswear department at Garden City when mum was buying my father clothes.
I had never heard of him working there and I often told her that she must be confused with someone else maybe named Darren.
I didn't read the book until my mother passed away on Buzz Aldrin's birthday this year, but it seems from what I read mum was wrong in the end, but she didn't know that when she was alive.
I might see if mum's best friend wants to read the book, as she was the one who used to work at the Argonaut corner shops.
