Flooding Qld/NSW - Are You all okay? (223)
Shell225: ya have to wonder dont you.... cyclones, floods, fires, more cyclones...
I cant see where we have been naughty vegemites.. but mother nature sure must think we need a bit of shaking up...
I wonder what the bigger message is?? to be kinder to each other... to value what we have... to stop our egos???
Yes, really wondering...

I dont know Merri, if you hear the stories, its clear that people are kind to each other, they risk their lives to save strangers, to save animals, dig trenches for strangers, carry sandbags for strangers. People basically say.. Im safe, my family is safe, the rest doesnt matter, they arent material.I think that when things like this happen, it just shows the kindness of strangers, how basically good we really are to each other. We do live in a good world, maybe thats the message ... see the good that we are surrounded by.
Shell225: run forest run!!!!!
Far out did Australia step in the proverbial dog poo on NYE??

Mmmm. Shell, we have met.. and as you know.. I am no spring chicken... but I did lose all to Cyclone Tracy in Darwin years ago... and guess what... it was just things.. and my dogs were picked up by another family and I got them back.. and they were not shot like I thought.. and yes, we just got on with it.. and 3 years later I had another house etc...
Will all work out..
We are tough as old boots inside...
and it will be same same again for the Qld folk.. Where are you now Shell ? and are your cats and horses ok.

When the demand for boats dimishes, the demand for water guernies will be huge... and air compressors...
Thats the business that will do well...
Shall we????

I think mother nature is trying to wipe out the whole east coast of oz....who took her toys and made her throw such a hissy fit 
To those in Goondiwindi stay safe tonight and we all pray the water stops at 11 meters
To those down the rest of the coast keep a watch and stay safe
An lets hope they are so wrong about 5 states being flooded...
Sending good thoughts out to everyone
Glad everyone has checked in so we know they are okay

Martia: Where are you now Shell ? and are your cats and horses ok.
Im fine Martia, my house wasnt affected, the rain stopped so the flash flooding subsided about 6 inches from my place
cats are great and over the shock 
Sparky is doing well, but very wet and suffering from greasy heel, doing my best to keep it from getting worse
I get cut off from him every few days, but other than that its all fine. I've been very very lucky.
kizzy27: Looks like Victoria is in for it too .....
be safe everyone
be safe everyone
Aww gawd thats awful, we're coming out the other side now, its horrible to think that others are beginning to face this ..
Hugs to all our Victorian people, and I hope that you are all safe.

Hi BB
First thing I did at work on Wed. was research and type up a sign and laminate it for the hotline emergency...the numbers for friends seeking friends, family and relatives etc..
I work for UnitingCare Wesley which is National and Lifeline is part of our organisation.
I cannae say more due to confidentiality... but lets say... we are all concerned and united in thoughts for all those in need.
Merriweather: Lovely to see ya hun...
Hi Sweet. How are you? Haven't seen you for a while. (mind you; I haven't been on much either)
Larf75: Hi Sweet. How are you? Haven't seen you for a while. (mind you; I haven't been on much either)
But its good to hear that you are otherwise occupied ( according to Shell's post)
Its Ok hun, I spend most of my time on the inters... but when like now, we need to be together... I am loyally Aussie.
Good wishes to all...
I am off to bed... keep safe all...

Nothing like keeping busy; it keeps me out of trouble.
Well I hope to catch you on here another time. Be good. Shell225: Im fine Martia, my house wasnt affected, the rain stopped so the flash flooding subsided about 6 inches from my place cats are great and over the shock

Thats great Shell,It must be hard not being able to treat the greasy heel because of the constant wet.
To keep the worst at bay get a tube of Betadene from the chemist and use like a shampoo.Iodene has a drying affect! thats all you can do until you can get out of the wet.
