the Devo thread!!
Oh and in other news (luckily I figured it out early enough)
Turns out my appt to get the cortisone injection in my hand is at Randwick hospital NOT RPA. Big difference, even bigger when travel by public transport.
Grrrrr about to spend 50mins on a bus. Thankfully there is one bus from my door to Randwick.
I hate my car!!!
I am so devo right now. Just took it to the mechanic for the timing belt and he has just called saying he noticed on my record that he had written down that the dif oil needs changing ($50 - $60) and some thing on the drive shaft- elbow or something needs doing and that is $220.
Waaaaaaaaaa
I just feel like this stupid car is haemorrhaging money and this is why I bought my nice 8yo car years ago not to deal with a car that is 16yo
That sucks ozzy, I’m not looking forward to my next service - he reckons over 1200!!! 
Yep thats what service i am at :-(
It hurts for sure!
If its got tits or wheels it’ll send you broke! 
Yep thats what service i am at :-(
It hurts for sure!
Booo… I’ve been putting away 100bucks a week for it! Lucky have another 1000ks to go, so hopefully it’s after I come back from Europe. Then again, I need it serviced for the shred! Arrrggggh
My Aunty who is also my godmothers funeral is today, she passed last week after a long battle with breast cancer that metastasized and basically wrecked everything. It’s my mothers older sister and she was with her when she passed about 4am on Wednesday, I had been to visit for a couple of hours the day before so I was able to say goodbye which was nice.
It’s like cruel and unusual punishment cancer, I saw her about 3-4 weeks before and although she was spaced out on pain meds she was still quite lucid and able to hold a conversation. My last visit was completely different and it struck me that by that point they’re really just a prisoner in their own body. Apparently the hearing is the last thing to go so they say, I hope she was able to hear me and recognise my voice.
I’m a bit sick of cancer and the whole palliative/hospice scene, I’ve watched 3 family members and 2 family friends go out like this in the last 4 -5 years. It’s cliched and sounds almost trite but it brings home my own mortality and the frivolous nature of some of things which I consider to be problems in my life, the need to live in the moment is sometimes forgotten and the silver lining of death is that it can remind you to seek out the things that make you happy and gain some perception of what’s really important in your life, my godmother loved the fact that I surf, she thought it was such a good lifestyle choice and always asked me about it when I saw her, she knew it made me happy.
A couple of days later I had a morning surf by myself with no one around at a local reef and found myself thinking about it all a bit and becoming a little sombre and melancholy. In the midst of that thought a set came and I snapped myself out of the reverie and took off. A little barrel materialised as i rode along, I pulled in and took the mental picture of the wave breaking around me and the morning sun glistening on and through the water in front and the beach and green hill behind and then suddenly I was shot out with a big smile on my face. It’s moments like that one that makes life worth living, I know that my godmother had many such moments, I’m fortunate enough to be able to hope I have a lot more to come.
Said so well NGB, condolences for your loss
It’s like cruel and unusual punishment cancer
that it is, I have also lost family members to cancer, its not a good way to go
Yep cancer sucks balls!! Sorry for your loss.

My day just got worst. Swung by the dr’s after picking up my car and (long story short) i needed a vaccine booster for MMR, i got my immunity tested a couple of weeks ago. (so joy two needles in a day!)
Then came out of the Dr’s and got a parking fine (will cope it because I knew I was running the gaunlet by not paying) but man hit while I am down why don’t you!
No chance!
