G'day from Australia

[vinesqueen 2]

Right Dayanne, I understand that walkabouts are dangerous, but I think we have a certian romantic notion about them here in the US.

So, maybe a better example would be "out working with the sheep all day..." (the restaurants always have several sheep sheering tools on the walls too...

yeh if we could all lose weight easily we wouldnt be going thru this process......derrr on them....haha....

Australia can be a bit backwards in the matter sometimes... I was talking to a lady on the sunshine coast who was banded in Jan, although she was 95kg and a BMI of 33 which is not severely overweight, the doctor nearly sent her away and told her to come back once she had gained 10-15kgs, until she requested a pinch test and was 44% bodyfat. Just goes to show....

Am loving all this slang Dee, you are as Ocker as I feel, it's great to hear there's more out there just like me. My cousin has been living in Sydney and last weekend she had a go at me for pretty much not giving a hoot about what I wear, how I talk, etc. Says she can't stand the life in QLD it's way too laid back for her and just how I like it!! Bet you're a big fan of Kath & Kim, like me, if you're not, man you'd love it!

Well on'y about 30hrs and 2 more sleeps till I go under the knife, scary.....

Kath and Kim as nurses, holy crap, that would be even scarier! Kalgoorlie eh? I have a friend working in the mines there, am tempted to do it myself for 12 mths and earn a small fortune then travel the world... but then I always was a bit of a dreamer!

Thanks for the well wishes guys, only 13 hrs to go, so damn nervous! Janeen, it's nice to hear from someone who has been to the same surgeon, at least you're well and you survived it, so he can't be too bad!

Well I will try and jump on here again shortly after the op, probably thursday!

Keep smiling and don't worry about me I'll be fine!

you should do it if you want to.....they prefer girls to drive those really big dump trucks. coz the girls aint so ruff on them like the guys....and ya get good money...kalg is a wild town, real mans town....hardly anyone local there anymore, people from all walks of life, it funny when ya lived there for so long and knew so many people that when ya go out now down the street or in the pub everyone a total stranger....some stranger than most hahahaah....

they still got the girls in the starting stalls there too...you can now take a tour of the brothel....it a big flash one....where once they just looked like horse stables hahaah...

but all in all it not a bad town.....heck it dragged me up just fine hahahaahah...

hope you feelling alright now brissy.....take care...look forward to hearing how you went in hospital...
