Been there done that my daughter will never be able to walk normally or run again but she is still with us.I hope and pray he will continue to make progress.
They say that there has never been so many people in Aus suffering from Depression in fact its nearly an epidemic.
WHY....To get started look at the media for instance Newspaper's and TV are the main culprits. Every where you look is mayhem and misery the more the better.
I do not agree with reporting the continual pain of others ....like going into detail about how they feel all the time especially like the Danial Morcombe murder getting the parents to give press conferences draining every feeling they can out of them,its so cruel.
When those 8 children and relations were burnt to death in that house fire the mourners even stopped the search of the last two bodies so they could appear on TV to talk about their pain and grieving without a thought for those brave men and woman looking for them.....surely they could have done that when the last two bodies were retrieved.
I now feel guilty for even bring that up but why do the public want to see that ?
Remember Lady Di's death and funeral ! day in day out could not believe it.....people sobbing their eyes out ...Why for goodness sake she wasent a close friend or relative (mass hysteria)once again the herd syndrome.
And I have touched on only the tip of the iceburg.
What is it that is in lot of us to prefer bad news to good.????? also seeing people stop to look at an accident hoping to see a dead or maimed body.
Haven't we got enough to contend with without the brainwashing that goes on from the Media 24 hours a day.
Dont get me wrong! I just cannot understand it going on and on until something newer comes up,then the previous story is dropped like a hot potato leaving behind utter confusion sometimes.
The Media stated a long time ago that if it printed or showed much good news it would hardly sell a paper or get an audience.
Thanks hon but the motor is fine its the( welsh plugs) that are the problem... cheap to buy! but if they are the ones under the engine very hard to get to.
Looks to have the body of the Morgan Horse and the Roman Nose of a Clydsdale. There are so many beautiful breeds of horses including the Australia's own Waler.... a wonderful tough horse( that was sent overseas in the 1840's for the Army.)Just Googled that.
They were becoming quite rare! I hope that they will resurrect this breed to far greater numbers as they are the perfect riding horse with a great temperament.
Everyone went silly first on the Arabian then the Warm blood but had probs with Temperament in the Arabian and soundness issues with the Warm blood.
Alas like everything Horses are victims of fashion Also after the film101 Dalmatians heaps of people acquired that breed! a couple of years down the track the dogs homes were full of them as they were a lively strong breed who needed plenty of exercise with a firm hand,and many had no idea how to cope with them.
I believe that with dogs People should be made to get a permit to prove they are capable of looking after them if they have not owned one before.
Funny you should bring up the Camel as it jogged my memory.
Just about when my husband myself and baby daughter were about to board the plane to emigrate to Aus all those years ago, my mother in law pressed a small silver horse into my hand and said this has been my lucky charm for 50 years I want you to have it.
About 5 years later thats when we got into Breeding Racing and Training Thoroughbred Race Horses and for the next 30 years or so that was our life.
Lost that lucky charm about 2 years before my daughter got injured in that horse race.
Oh sorry Serene I did not mean it to sound that way , I suppose I use that for an excuse like memory loss and stuff which does bother me sometimes.... think I may be apologising for it.
I know age does not equal knowledge far from it .
I agree with Rev' sometimes I wish there was more members saying more about themselves. I really do value others opinions I wish there was a lot more of it not just the same members all the time.
OK Rev did that ....I did assume that You would be Contributing !!!! but you might think my threads as irrelevant.....cheap shot but thats me,(sorry I watch question time on TV when doing the ironing)
First of all this is about Me Myself and I so please dont bother to read this if you have something better to do like clean the toilet or such.
So Rev here is what you Challenged.... for what its worth. Most are not interested what happened hundreds of years ago that Is Boring.... its what affects us here and now,to make day to day living as pleasant as we possibly can.
That Said.
I am a Realist.... I believe in everything constant'how events will affect myself and my fellow man.I do realise that it can be looked upon as selfish and self serving in some instances.
I am not interested in escapism or higher leaning Unless of course it makes a difference for the common good.Which in turn of course will impact in the end on impact on how we live our lives.
I have great empathy with animals,also the hurt and pain that we all go through at critical times in our lives, its not consistent as I am selfish! but I really do want to help people I know sort things out ....maybe because I have been there in one way or another and its the pits.
I am not interested in Face book as such but have used it for tracking down an old friend, I belong to this forum and a couple of Computer help ones as I am always getting myself into trouble on my desktop.In fact my system restore refuses to work anymore.
I dont class myself as clever but have enough grasp of a lot of subjects to be a pain.I also believe 9 times out of 10 my judgment of people is correct.That said I am overly harsh on fools whether its their fault or not.
As I get older I forget things, I repeat myself which I am sure the members have noticed but are too kind to mention.It also might be because I average about 4 hours of sleep at night for the last 12 yrs or so but sometimes fall in a heap and sleep for about 14 to 15 hours about once a month,the outcome of that is I do suffer health problems of course.
With age I dont care what others think of me as the older I become, I am more invisible like the use by date is fast running out,I dont feel sorry for myself as it has its advantages.
This is why I adore my Dogs as every day is a new day to them ,they are so full of love and enthusiasm and I am in awe of what they are capable of when given the input,bless them.
What do I want.... well for the umpteenth time! I want to retire near the NSW Coast with my partner and dogs and hope and pray I can relax and enjoy the rest of my life with dignity and peace.
Now that was a boring old load of claptrap not asking just stating a fact. Sorry guys.
Hmmmm one thing I do know is when I started dating again about 4 yrs ago WOW what an eye opener never ever realised what I had missed out on.I was so relieved to know I was not the one with the problem! making love is one of the great joys of life to be experienced....with a healthy and open mind and completely at ease with each other.
I hope I was thought of as a fast leaner.
All I will say is a certain Consultant was very good at um...... Consulting.
You are so right ! but if they can wrest the power from Gillard and co they would be mad not to have an Election ,Tony Abbott is not liked but who else is there to take his place?? maybe Joe Hockey if he can streamline himself a bit as he has a warmth about him which the public might take to.........I dont know
One thing I do know is Labour must go !!!!! they stuff everything up as usual dont know why but throughout history they have never known how to handle finances.....its the same in the UK.
Labour go's ! greens are history and so is the Carbon tax.
Can you see why I cannot leave this little forum. The depth of the regulars on here shines through,they care for others apart from themselves as they feel your pain as they did mine.
You wrote from the heart (we know that) weak moment perhaps! but we now know there is a real person at the other end,some can open up......some cant.
All I know is that we have seen all types of people pass through this forum' an eye opener in itself ! and through one thing or another some really good guys have been lost but the core support remains as you can now see.
They know me very well ,I am impatient with people who exaggerate and lie..... are forever trying to make an impression, like look at me arnt I clever and then proceed to put others down.... knowing Google is at their fingertips and can turn anyone into a genius immediately. I cannot be patient with them like others on here' my failing I know' but I cannot suffer fools gladly anymore. ( old age I expect )
DONT DO THIS ........please.... we have all been where you are right now.There is another on this forum going through the same thing.....the difference is he is full of anger and he attacks and blames everyone and anyone but himself.
You! my sweet Rev...... you blame and attack yourself when you know in your heart you HAVE tried.Has it ever occurred to you that all you may be guilty of is looking at the outer package and not going any deeper until its too late!
I was married for many years,he was' when I met him so beautiful of face a body to match with the swagger to fit.
A photo to pass around to the ooh's and aah's of my workmates how lucky was I. I was blind to the arrogance and meanness that sometimes comes with those who are blessed with those looks.
They mellow with age! I was told, I battled on..... after 25 years it was safe to say he didnt.
Looks fading ,losing hair and gaining weight....... the inevitable affair had to happen,HIM not me.
Midlife Crisis by the book, new aftershave new clothes.Dumb Dumb Dumb was I.
All those years not looking right or left but getting blamed for and punished for guys flirting with me....It was my fault 'not allowed to have a dance or talk by myself to any male. Thought it was love.... but no I was his property know that now! but not then.
He left his little family when we so desperately needed him! too weak to be a Man,37 years married then gone...... without a backward look.For us 4 years in the wilderness,but we were strong we came through.For a while I dated the confident ...dare I say arrogant types. Yup a glutton for punishment maybe.... but a learning curve in more ways than one.
I found my true love' or he found me! my gentle Academic a Teacher by profession but also a Mechanic a Farmer he is all of these things.No swagger' scared of height's.
What can I say! not my type ,he persuaded me I was wrong and he was right.
Rev I am a month away from 64 years.... you are still young! If I can find happiness you are an absolute shoe in.....you dont have to change! just look in the right or in your case' wrong places. It will be alright if you want it to be....you just have have enough strength to want it enough.

There are also posters of leading onto a balcony and looking to the sea beyond like its part of the room it would really open up a whole area.I think but must make sure it suits. It must be light and bright.I would put it at the end of the dining room off from the kitchen there is a big blank wall (well there would be)
I will have to get it from the UK a place called all posters and the real big ones arnt cheap but I think the effect would be stunning.Well I long to be near the Coast and this will have to do until we get this farm in order ....its just over half way there and going well I just want to MOVE.
Hi was thinking about getting one of those huge posters with a Coastal theme of sand sea and palm tree's and putting it on a blank wall I am talking about 8 to 10ft wide and 8ft high.
I have seen them and they look fantastic! a beautiful landscape or waterfall is ok too.
As you can see I want to do something different,.......the posters are real photo's. I think it might be best to put backing on it so I could move it if it did not suit. What do you think.
