Yeah a work mate has the same problem......35 years old and needs a knee replacement but is deemed too young because you apparently can only have two replacements in a lifetime and they want to wait till he is older. I am lucky that compared to his, my ACL reconstruction is minor but I might need a cartilage graft later on.Quote:

I just got the call to say I have a new Job!!:cool:
second job out of Uni, a bit scary but it should be challenging and interesting and I will be finally getting a pay rise after 3 years of not even CPI.
^^Congrats! In my home country, you'll treat your mates when you get a new job or pay raise :D
Two of my sons - in year 1 and 3 - got honour certificates at their end of term assembly today.
We knew the elder one was going to get one because we got a note inviting us to attend, but the Year 1 award came out of the blue for everyone.
I have a container with several examples from 2 varieties. They are incredibly easy to grow. Just leave them in a terrarium type enclosure with plenty of water and sphagnum moss and they take care of themselves. You don't even need to feed them either. Bright light is good but not direct sunlight. Anywhere that sells plants should have some, I've even seen them at Kmart.Quote:

Always an awesome feeling Blackie, good on ya. :cool:Quote:

This link has done alright for me so far re. info.
Anyways, today's victory is finding some new shoes, from $80 to $40. And realising I had a whole bunch of awesome stuff stored at my sister's place, which I've now reappropriated.
Cheers Odey,Quote:

I just wish this cold I've got would bugger off so that I could get down there sooner as they are already starting to show signs of stress with blackness encroaching a couple of the 'mouths'. :(
WATCH OUT:eek:Quote:

probalby not, but they'll definitely cook their food with force lightening from their grabby teeth spines.Quote:
