Thanx for the welcome, Mason Jess
TY for the welcome Sarah, my amazing BF is actually a Texan though. I look forward to getting to know you and all the JU family better. Jess
For those who haven't noticed ..Hi I'm Jessica I am Aussie ...and proud of it ! I am 23, live on the Sunshine Coast Qld with my sister, her hubby and my 3 nephews. I am the middle of 5 girls ..so I always seemed to be the peace keeper. I'm not really a writer of any sort, I tend to have thoughts fall out of my mouth or fingers ...s
What an amazing life you have led and you are still only near the beginning of your journey. All the best to you and your wonderful family. Welcome to JU, I look forward to reading more from you. Jess
Mason ..I'm glad you liked it. I might post one a week, if people would like to read more. Thanx for your comment. Jess
I probably commit point sins everyday ...but I too don't care about the points .... I just love reading and commenting on articles ..and OMG I have even been guilty of chatting in some Forums. I like to learn about the people behind the articles and don't consider th points involved. Hmm ..is there some kind of rules on this? Jess
Wreckless ..I would love that TY MP .. TY for your kind words. Muggaz .. I agree totally with you. So much of the culture is lost or restricted to each local area. We are pretty lucky on the Sunny Coast to have so much of it....just look at most of our place names
I lovve Eumundi markets, did you get a chance to go up to Montville? The whole town is like a giant market. When my soul needs a holiday, i spend a day there browsing around all the shops. TY .. I love living here. Where abouts up north are you? I would love to hear some of your legends ..the local ones are the nicest I think ..so easy to relate to. You only seem to find the main ones on most sites. Nice to meet a fellow auss
aww Muggaz, I don't know whether to shake my head or laugh. You forgot compassion and a sense of humour .... i find these more important than looks Everyone will lose their looks one day and I want someone who can joke about grabbing me and having me wobble like jelly when that day comes
This is one of the local legends from the Sunshine Coast Qld. Because alot of you seem interested in aus, I thought you might enjoy this. Aboriginal legend tells us that The Coloured Sands were formed as follows: "Way back in dream-time, there lived on the banks of the Noosa River a beautiful black maiden called Murrawar who fell in lov
Sorry Muggaz ..we have got off track a bit ..but it was your quote that started it Very thought provoking article and of course it is wrong to falsely accuse people of any crime and we are forgetting the innocent victims in all this ..the footballers families. Jess
I never said that making a false accusation didn't hurt the man involved. You tell me if it is the same as having a knife held to your throat ..while someone performs the worst kinds of atrocities on you ..leaving you bruised and battered and bleeding. You make it sound like a rape victim can get up the next morning n say " damn that sucked, but i'm over it" .. NO they carry the scars for life ..the fear ...the feeling of being powerless ...the
I just beleive a false accusation is just as bad as the crime itself. OMG Muggaz ..I can't believe you said that. While being falsely accused of rape is terrible ..i really don't think it comes close to the effects of being raped. Do you???
Sounds good Muggaz !! I have a site with alot of cool aussie links for anyone interested. http://sadistic-impulse.cjb.net/ Hmm ..should we warn them about drop bears? Jess
I would like to share my favourite quote. One i try to live by. "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place... to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. That is to have succeeded." Jess
I too was not blogging at the time. Of course i was outraged and appalled with what happened to the civilians .. as I am by any atocicities against humanity. All I am saying is we expect the " good guys " to be the voice of reason NOT to behave in a similiar but milder manner. I also know it was a few individuals I am not blaming the whole body of troops for it. But when the voice of condemnation starts to mimic the very thi
I am not judging the army on the actions of individuals, I just don't want people to judge the individuals on the basis that they are American troops so it is OK. Yes it is shocking and degrading, lets hope these troops are made to pay dearly for both their actions and the bad reflection it puts on all troops ... in some peoples minds.
I'm sp glad you had the chance to thank them. What a rewarding experience for both you and them, knowing how far you have come.
Tim Tams are a slice of heaven. They are chocolate biscuits with chocolate cream in the centre COATED in chocolate. They now come in a variety of flavours. I have been sending them to friends all around the world and I'm glad to say I have created quite a few addicts. Part of the world domination plan. original, caramel, tia maria, dark chocolate, double chocolate, maybe more ....bite the ends off and suck your coffee through them. mmm
On the other hand, some pictures of naked Iraqi POWs with bags on their heads doesn't tell me very much and we don't yet know any of their background. There were a lot more pictures than that. I was disgusted ..for some reason I always thought our troops were more " humane ". I wonder if it was the other way around ..would your article read the same?
'Allo darling', Joe grunts in his deep bass voice, as small bald sweaty man realises too late, that the only people seeking random sex with stangers on commuter trains are, well, other men. LMAO ... The image of the look of horror on his face !!! Great article.
I know where you are coming from ..make the most of every minute/second ...life is to be lived ..are you wasting yours?
I am so proud of you. I wish you the best in everything you do. There is a wonderful man out there who will appreciate the gift of you. For now, go ..be free and enjoy life. Jess
