ping Yowie
I have to ask...what's a Yowie? I remember reading 'We are Here' the thread
about the wonderful gathering of some 20 people from here in Flordia, and someone said they had a Yowie with them, but wished it was the real you. I looked again and If I'm reading it right it was Pam and this was written (copied and pasted from that thread) I noticed a Yowie that Yowie sent me back a few (8 or so) years ago. I figured that we need a Yowie at the party, so I brought the one I could. I wish I could bring the human Yowie in as well." Could you enlighten me please? Sounds like some of stuffed toy? I was reading that one thread that got all out of sorts with me using a certain word, and I remember when my oldest daughter whas 2 she was throwing a temper tantrum and flailing herself on the floor screaming, etc, so I went into the kitchen, drew a glas of cool water and slowly poured it over her head, which snapped her out of it right away, no harm done. Then she got hugs and kisses from me. This was 39 years ago. Give the Yowlet a big hug from his Auntie Kyla..he is so adorable. Hug and thanks Kyla --who is so happy for all the people at the Gathering. They are having SO much fun. |

I would have found it much harder to describe a "Yowie" Seems the
definition would change with the event of life. A Yowie is a good thing in this case! "Magic Mood Jeep ©" wrote in message ... Kyla =^. .^=` wrote: I have to ask...what's a Yowie?

Ah yes, I was in Hawaii 32 years ago, that''s where I met DH. He moved there from Calif and I fled my bad marriage, etc and went to Hawaii I'm the same way, I'm going through 'mental-pause' as I like to call it. And the chain breaks on my 'mood swing' alot too. I'm told I'm 'post-menopausal', whatever that means. But my ovaries are still working even tho I had the 'operation' when I was 27. (36 years ago) Wished they'd taken them out too.

"hopitus" Years ago from Vicky's posts I gathered a Yowie is some kind ofAustralian candy bar or sweet wrapped food treat....could be it has a pic of Jeep's hairy bigfoot on its wrapper, I dunno, never having seen one. Let's see what our friend in Oz has to say about Yowies..... Yes, let's do that. She is such a sweetheart and so are you BTW, what hospital do you work in MileHigh? I remember my grandma living 2 blocks from Denver General when I was a kid. I was born and raised there, (1945-1976) moved to Seattle in 76 via Hawaii. Made a visit to see my young kids back in 1980 right after Mt Saint Helens blew, and it was SO hot. We went to Elitch Gardens and didn't last long. LOL Is that place still around? Hug Kyla --who doesn't want to re-live her horrible 12 year whatever that made me have a breakdown & lose custody to ex. :/ |

Back in 6th grade, that is, when I was 11, some boys teased me about my height (I was very tall even then) by calling me 'Sasquatch'. I didn't know what that word mean at the time, but knew it wasn't nice, and chased the boys (which I think is what they wanted to do - I didn't figure that sort of thing out till a bit later). Much later, I was told the tale and my confusion over the word 'Sasquatch' to my then boyfriend, who explained it was like Bigfoot, Yeti or our Bunyip. From that point on, one of his nicknames for me was "Bunyipkins". Somewhere in my net travels and a long time ago, there used to be a site called "Bigfoot". I tried to sign up as "Bunyip" but it was taken. Remembering that we also have the Yowie, a sort of swamp equivalent of the forest dwelling Bunyip / Yeti / Sasquatch, I used "Yowie" instead and the rest is history (regarding my 'net name, anyway) More recently, Cadbury chocolates in Australia produced the Yowie range for kids. Along the lines of KinderSurprises, there was a toy of a Native Australian Animal inside each chocolate Yowie. These became very popular and some plushie toys were made of each type of Yowie that Cadbury produced. Since I have always wanted to visit Pam, but suspect I'll never get there in person, I sent one of the Yowie plushies instead. Cadbury stopped supoprting the Yowie line in 2005 and they are now collectables. Being inthe USA, Pam has in her possession a very rare toy which would be worth something in the collector market. Hope that explains things. Yowie |
