the roots of perception

Genealogy is a fascinating subject. Have, at times, whiffled on about the word "indiginous". Basically it means 'the place where one was born'.

I am an 'indiginous' Australian.. and so was my father. My mother was 'indiginous', as were her parents and grand parents.

How far back does one have to go to be considered 'aboriginal' .. which means 'original man'?

'dust, dishes and dirty clothes', are you sure you're not living at my place?

Look for a cute female computer geek, haven't I taught you anything?

I haven't had my coffee so this comment is in the wrong place, sorry Davo.

Nah.. cute female computer geeks are off the list. Was with one for five years some time ago, but she ran off and married a nerdy two-bit computer geek who wouldn't say boo to a goose, but had ten times more money than me. No accounting for taste, I guess.
