May as well take 'Canada Visa' out altogether as the reference to the website is still there! :(

I will be *so* glad when we move. With luck it will be the end of June but until then it's like living in an opp shop. Stuff everywhere!! :(

Wow... we have 543 pages of shouts stored!! Do we *really* need to keep all those?? :D

Seems to me he's being hung, drawn and quartered by Abbott before there's any sort of judicial inquiry. The real 'joke' is that Turnbull was up for the same 'offence' but was allowed to keep working while it was sorted out!! Hypocrisy at its worst.

Hi Bravus, nice to hear things are going well for you... nice and quiet here - just the way I like it! ;)

Wandering by to say 'Hi'. Completely flat out at the moment, studying 2 courses and teaching 3, plus buying a townhouse on the Gold Coast for our big move in a few months. All the developments are good ones, though. Hope all's well with all here.

It will start to look so good that you won't want to leave...take a teaspoon of cement, harden up and get over that feeling
 

Chris

Not a lot from me. I'm still up to my neck in paint and likely to remain that way for some weeks to comes... maybe even months! Still, the old house is starting to look a little better than it was. :)

Nice one Bravus... I love the Gold Coast and wish we could live up there but the commute to Sydney is a bit too long! :D
 

Bravus

April 12, 2012, 10:30:54 PM
(oh, did I mention I got a new job at Griffith Uni's Gold Coast campus? hence the move)
 

Bravus

April 12, 2012, 10:30:15 PM
Just had our offer accepted on a townhouse in the Gold Coast today, so if all the finance works and the body corp approve the dog, we'll be moving too.
 

Chris

April 12, 2012, 09:06:05 PM
Damn right... it is *not* a pleasant experience but the new house will be worth it if we get it!! Remind me and I'll tell you where it is so you can come visit!! :D

Moving house?

That means taking every little thing out of every cupboard and wardrobe.
Everything out of the garages.
Everything out of the whole house.
OOOOOOOHHHHH, I have a headache even thinking about it.  ;)

Chris,

it's because the calories going in are more numerous than the ones departing thru work etc. :)

I was just going to post about a missing boy in Cardiff NSW... but he has been found safe and staying at a friends. The friends parents were alerted to the police search when they heard the police media conference on TV. So there's a media upside - good work!  ;D
 

Chris

April 05, 2012, 09:40:43 AM
Has to be done I suppose but it's keeping me off the computer and I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing?? :D

Chris

April 01, 2012, 08:25:22 AM
We're on the move... put offer in for new house so in three months big changes happening. :)

March 20, 2012, 09:31:39 AM
Woohoo... been looking at the stats and I'm starting to catch up with Bambu in the list of 'top ten posters'*. Only another 1,000 and I'll beat him!

*(but still need another 25 *days* online to catch his other record!)

I was mostly thinking about it in the paved areas, but yes will try that.

Thanks, Chris for your wishes - appreciated.

Worked here too... tho not as well because of the rain washing the vinegar off. Still, it's dried off a bit today (so far) so will give it another try! :D

MINX REPORT:
CC posted a week or two ago about using white vinegar instead of nasty chemicals on weeds. Did a trial- yep, it works

Just thought I'd explain I'm not posting much because I can;t see to read!! Until my glasses come back I'm relying on my contacts, and as I explained on a previous occasion... they are impossible to use for most ordinary tasks! :D

Hi! I'm J.M.Dorsey, but seeing as that's so long, u could just call me JD. Piersdad is my granddad in real life and introduced me to his story website, Storydad in 2007. Since then my writing has become more than just a hobby. It's turned into a job. Lol, but it's the best job ever!

Last year I successfully published my first novel through Createspace, Halo High. Despite my publishing though, I'm still aiming to write a few short stories, during the editing of my next book, to publish onto Storydad. Some of my older stories can be found over on Piersdad's website.

Hopefully there is a story writing corner here, otherwise I can definitely provide opinions for...stuff/topics.

Thanks!

Hi JD, and welcome to AO.

Not many writers as such here, but plenty of friends.

Ambiance Artists has closed down, but Rob has taken over Writing Forums, and started up Beatrice Benn Books (a forum for book writers) and Motley Press Magazine (which is another potential site for your short stories).

Motley Press has published one of my short stories and a couple of my poems and artworks, as well as general articles and interviews. It's new and free, so no money, but another audience, and another chance to promote your book(s).

Hey J. welcome aboard from me too.

Yeah... the atmosphere here is pretty good lately... but it's been *so* quiet while school is out for the summer!! Expecting a flood of people now they're getting back. :)
