Because of technology, the Cooroy Rag may have become a little slicker over the 50 years it has been in production, but one thing hasn’t changed - we are still committed to promoting our local townships, businesses and community and we thank you for your continued and unwavering support. While we’re on the subject of technology, check out our new website at www.cooroyrag.com.au. Current and 2011 past editions are now online, so if you’re on holidays you don’t have to miss out on the local news and your friends and family who are unlucky enough not to live here can also read about what they’re missing out on. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank our advertisers, readers, committee members and contributors, with a special thanks to our volunteer rollers who do such a great job each edition getting the papers ready for our locals paper boys and girls to deliver.

Not my fave
HAM SAUCE I LIKE browsing in second-hand shops, I have no aversion to using other people’s discarded things, even double dipping doesn’t scare me. So why is it then that when I’m shopping in supermarkets or department stores I can’t buy anything I’ve picked up and looked at because once I’ve done that these items become ‘used’? For instance, I grab a pack of socks or jocks, read the label, make sure they’re the ones I want, and then … because I’ve touched them … I have to put them back and get the ‘new’ pack next to them. I hadn’t realised that this was my caper until fairly recently when, probably because of my deteriorating eyesight, I’ve ended up with several bottles of shampoo and no conditioner, underwear that wouldn’t fit a five year old and a half dozen cans of baked beans in ham sauce. I’ve never tasted baked beans in ham sauce because I don’t know what ham sauce is. I’ve never seen it in a bottle and the whole idea of it just seems wrong. But now that I have a pantry stocked with the stuff I’m trying to sell it to the kids as a luxury item. Perhaps its time to start buying the things I’ve contaminated before I have to adopt a 5 year old, bald, ham sauce eating child … or the child next to that one …. So there you have it … stores, socks and sauces Having a phobia of my own fingerprints - Not my fave! Next edition: July 27 Booking deadline: July 14 Copy deadline: July 18
