Was Airtravel More Fun In 1930s !!!!!
SEVENTY five years ago, there was great excitement when Qantas launched its first Short Empire Flying Boat service between Rose Bay and Singapore.
In what’s a bizarre sight to today’s flyers, passengers climbed the wings of the plane and stood on top, as the aircraft sat in the water.
How things have changed …
The fascinating image is part of a collection of historic photographs Qantas has shared on social media sites to celebrate the 75th anniversary of its original Short Empire Flying Boat service.
They provide an insight into what flying was like in the early days of commercial air travel and leave us wondering, was flying more fun – and glamorous – back then?
Sure, it took three days to fly between Sydney’s first international airport at Rose Bay, to Singapore’s Kallang Airport. But what an adventure.
There were overnight stops in Townsville, Darwin and Surabaya, Indonesia.

The flight would have been made more bearable by the fact there were just 15 passengers on each flight, so there was plenty of room. Plus there were large windows and huge seats.

The Short Empire flying boat service was replaced in 1943 by the long-range Catalina flying boat. The airline began with joy flights in 1920.

What a Cool Idea To Beat The Heat !!!!
China is in the midst of a brutal heatwave right now, but some parents have found a way to help their little ones beat the heat: watermelon.
Only, they’re not eating them – they’re wearing them.
A trend started in July in the Wenzhou region of the country when photos of a kid dressed in a watermelon suit started making the rounds on the Internet.
The reaction to the suits has been relatively positive across China, with people commenting on various blog sites about how the suits are an ‘eco-friendly’ way to cool down kids in the blistering heat.
One potential problem, however, is that babies have very sensitive skin. And while watermelon allergies are rare, the juice from the watermelon against a baby’s skin could cause some irritation.
Another potential issue is wearing the suit for too long. Watermelons rinds are moist, and as they rot they could breed bacteria and germs.

Message For The Day….Cleanliness is Next only to Godliness …
Message For The Day….Have Your Love Fixed and Devoted on GOD …
Become like the flute, a hollow reed, straight, light, with no substance to hinder His breath. Then He will come and pick you up and breathe divine music through you, playing upon you with a delicate touch. In His hand the infinitesimal will be transmuted into the Infinite. Intensify the love that is present within you. It is a sacred gift. Expand your love so that all beings can share in it. Your love must be such that if someone around you is sad, you feel sad and if they are happy, you feel that happiness. Have your love fixed and devoted on the Lord, whether your petty wishes get fulfilled or not. Never let go, under any circumstances, this precious treasure – your Love for God.

Amazing Bird Photography !!!
John&Fish are an older brother (John) and a younger sister (Fish) from Tainan, the ancient capital of Taiwan, currently living and working in the city of Taipei. They have been living and working together for over 20 years.
John&Fish are very much into bird photography which is a great thing because they are exceptionally amazing at it. Since 2005, they have spent almost every weekend traveling around the island in search of birds with beautiful shapes and colors to capture. Below is just a small selection of their magnificent body of work that I am glad to share with you.

Laughter …The Best Medicine !!! “Chicken was Delicious ” !!!
Four brothers left home for college, and they became successful doctors and lawyers.
One evening, they chatted after having dinner together. They
discussed the 95th birthday gifts they were able to give their elderly mother who moved to Florida .
The first said, “You know I had a big house built for Mama.”
The second said, “And I had a large theater built in the house.”
The third said, “And I had my Mercedes dealer deliver an SL600 to her.”
The fourth said, “You know how Mama loved reading the Bible and you know she can’t read anymore because she can’t see very well. I met this preacher who told me about a parrot who could recite the entire Bible. It took ten preachers almost 8 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $50,000 a year for five years to the church, but it was worth it. Mama only has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot will recite it.”
The other brothers were impressed. After the celebration Mama sent out her “Thank You” notes.
She wrote: Milton , the house you built is so huge that I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house. Thanks anyway.”
“Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home; I have my groceries delivered, so I never use the Mercedes. The thought was good. Thanks.”
“Michael, you gave me an expensive theater with Dolby sound and it can hold 50 people, but all of my friends are dead, I’ve lost my hearing, and I’m nearly blind. I’ll never use it. Thank you for the gesture just the same.”
“Dearest Melvin, you were the only son to have the good sense to give a little thought to your gift. The chicken was delicious Thank you so much.”
