Hans Christian Jeppesen. If the descendants of Hans Christian Jeppesen’s were to go back to his birthplace of Skydebjerg in Denmark on any warm, comfortable day in July, they would most likely find that the friendly population of that country is one of its greatest attractions and we may never know why, with all that friendship on offer, Hans Christian’s parents packed up and moved to the remote shores of Australia. Hans Christian was just three years old when the Jeppesen family arrived in Maryborough, Queensland in 1873 on board the Humboldt. Hans Christian Jeppesen met and married Annie Nielsen...

My Potato Bag Exercise for Oldies. I have just come across this exercise, suggested for all you 'seniors', to build muscle strength in the arms and shoulders. It seems so easy, so I thought I'd pass it on to some of my friends and family. The article suggested doing it three days a week.   Begin by standing on a comfortable surface where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5lb potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a...

'Oral Sex?' the woman exclaimed questionly . 'It hasn't been proven but we've sold 30 of them this month,' he said. The woman thought it would be a great gag gift, and...
