I have yet to cave and get an e-reader. There's just something about a physical book...the smell of the paper, the cute bookmarks...I can't give that up.

Love real books! My favorites I have at least paperbacks (probably 1/2 hardcovers) and I replace them when they wear out...newer stuff I get ebooks unless I absolutely love them and will re-read often.

Ah....thanks for the clarification. I thought the unseen thing had to do with hiding drugs, etc. But then anything hollow would be illegal to bring in...it didn't make sense to single out the eggs.
That's a HEFTY fine! What if someone doesn't know they are illegal? I wouldn't have known that until after I moved here. I had never HEARD of kinder eggs. And I sent some surprise eggs, different brand, to my best friend for her daughter, thinking they were cute. Never had a problem. I had no idea they weren't allowed.

The same happened to quite a few people when travelling to Australia until they started to put warnings everywhere.
Australia fines you very hard if you bring pets or any kind of food.

That is Tigger. He is the pain in the behind at night. Wake’s dh up for treats by jumping on him. Oliver, who is in the third pic is my favorite. He was licking his chops in the picture which is the red little blob on his face. He is the sweetest and a cuddler. Piper is the black and white. She hides all day mostly and comes out before bed. She is harmless and talks to oldest dd.

Australia has the most poisonous animals in the world. I would think that any animals getting brought in would be the ones to worry.

This is very cute!

I wonder if its 100% true!

Well, not exactly...

They did bring bunnies decades back, and since they had no predators.. they pretty much destroyed everything and multiplied in insane numbers. They start to do culling, poisonings and even giving them diseases to control their population in australia.

They fear the spread of many plant illnesses and perhaps fauna like worms.

Did not know that one. Maybe we should send in some of those pythons from the Everglades that people so consciously dumped.

@MySmallWorldof4 I love your advents calendar!
I am not a pet person but even I know it is wrong to torture cats.

@Cesar R M , I get nervous every time I am in line at customs in Australia because they are so strict about everything. You even have to make sure all your shoes are mud free etc. because of soil contamination.

I think that is usual for the US as well, they ask people if you were near livestock or have been dealing with soil..etc..

My dh has one of these types of pillows, it HELPS! https://www.kohls.com/product/prd-1993514/memory-foam-contour-pillow.jsp?ci_mcc=ci&utm_campaign=EC PILLOWS & PADS&utm_medium=CSE&utm_source=bing&CID=shopping20&utm_campaignid=73065129&gclid=CLDU17jz5dcCFcqzswodWbQHbA&gclsrc=ds&dclid=CLLW3rjz5dcCFYi5swodawkDzA

Thanks for the link!
I've actually seen that one advertised before!
I have been sleeping sitting up for the last few years, but, lately I've started sleeping on my sides some again...I have no clue why...
I sleep with two pillows, and when I roll over I fold the top one in half lengthwise to support my fat head...
I'll hafta' look into it...this pillow might solve that problem...!

Thanks, again...!

I am happy at least some people had a nice Friday. Mine actually wasn't that bad just long. I had hoped to go to a local Christmas market where they were selling home made things but it ended at 8pm so when I walked past after work the stalls were packing up.
Probably saved me some money.
