Lighten up it was a joke - Notice the laughing face :thumbup:

Xs energy craps on all energy drinks 8-) hehe Holy crap someone actually told me about that once when I had a can. Small world.

Throw them in the army for a good 12 months while they're sitting on their [wagon], up to no good :lol: "The gap year program" - Learn some freaking life experiences to help you get a job.

Remind me not to be your friend :lol:

With our most delicious meat pies and sause in the world and the usual weekend bbq, who could blame us :lol: Also I'm with Rick here - Most of the obese people you see are adults. If you look around you won't see many obese children (yes there is some obviously) this generation is actually pretty good. With obesity becoming the new anti smoking, the next few generations have hope. Looking deeper in to things like government etc - "baby bonus" and "welfare system - get paid to sit on your [wagon] and do nothing" come to mind.

She's an ex for a reason bud Fair enough, put grudges behind you and move on. Change your passwords and forget about the blackmail because it only works in her favour, not yours. Use a bit of common sense, maybe you're her ex for a reason too ;)

Yeah I read that the other day I wasn't surprised really did a paper on it a couple of years ago. Oh well I still think Aussies are the most laid back people ;)

Very well said =D>

Lucky you're still young because blackmail isn't taken lightly.

So instead of getting so worked up over it do something about it?? How hard is it to say "Hey last message I asked a question that I was really wanting to know, I'll ask it again incase you missed it." If she still doesn't reply then get over it stop messaging her! People aren't always going to respond how you want them to and if after all this time she still does it everytime you mention it, why are you wasting your time? Also, don't expect things. When you expect things and then you don't get what you're expecting, things don't go very well for you. Your emotions are felt stronger than necessary. She fails to tell you about her guitar playing so now she automatically doesn't feel safe disclosing information to you?? Please, read between the lines.. You're a little obsessive and you've already decided the answer to your own question... So in all honesty why are you really here? What is the real problem?

She obviously doesn't think it's important to talk about so skips to whatever it is she wants to talk about. Solution - Ring instead of texting if it's so important to know the answer :thumbup:

My mum is back in hospital :( For those of you who were reading last time she had a mini stroke which caused her to go blind in her right eye for most of the day. The doctor gave her blood thinners which pretty much saved her life today. Doctors found she has a 90% blockage in the main artery and she is going in for an emergency operation. The blood thinners gave her that extra 10% leadway, this will be the 3rd time Dr McNeil has saved my mums life. I'm nervous as hell just waiting for my dad to ring me back with some more news. I hope she will be okay the only thing she was scared about was not being able to see her grandson when he's born.

Sam - The guy who was eye candy for all the most popular, prettiest girls in the school. He turned out gay. Leon - The guy who wore tight shorts to school and was obsessed with leonardo dicaprio and titanic. At least everyone already knew he was gay. Cherie - The girl everyone used to pick on because she was the only girl left in the class who was flat chested. Cherie appeared in high school with the largest breasts you have ever seen (not fake). Kevin - His last name was moo so naturally everyone went up to him and went "mooooo" and he would start crying for an hour. He spent most of his school days crying (it didn't help that he sounded like a cow when he cried too) David - The most satanic person you'll ever meet. Charmaine - was the only girl in school with no friends. She had the biggest nose you have ever seen. When she graduated she lost weight, dressed better, did her hair better, reduced the size of her nose and became a model.

You can take a pill but does that take away your problems? no it doesn't. Solve your problems and you'll get to sleep. Better than any sleeping pill. A trick I learned - Stay away from absolutes in your thoughts and speaking. Words like "should", "must" etc they make you more anxious, upset, mad, frustrated than you actually need to be. Stop and think about the energy that you're wasting, is it really worth it? Instead of "it should have been this way" - Try saying "it would have been nice if things went that way but it didn't." Ask yourself questions, What is the problem? Can you fix it right now? Is there anyway you can make it better? Are things going to change if you react to them? Also meditate, if you don't know how, look it up. If this is a long term thing with stress take up thai chi. Please give it a try before you go asking about sleeping pills. From the above methods alone and applied to my own stressful situations I've been able to bring something I've rated as 99/100 (100 being the worst you can handle something) to a 40. If you feel up to it, shoot me a message about the girl problems and the work/school conflict.

Test drove a nice Honda Civic today, find out on Saturday whether another girl has beat Brent and I to getting it or not *fingers crossed* We'd really love to buy it. At the moment on the phone trying to claim warrenty on my video camera... *pulls hair out* nearly ate the salesman for breakfast beforehand.

Btw if anybody is interested in hearing about my experiences, feel free to PM me to chat about them. I won't be posting them on the board.

Yep I've had very, very many freaky experiences. I don't know what to make of them so I try not to judge either way. Open minded.

With buckets? I'm glad you're safe Randox. Some buckets is better than no buckets. Think of the couple of trees you could save and maybe some racoon like creature :lol:

Unfair advantage - Using a girl who is genuinely interested in you for self gain. Yeah I changed that at the last second but then realised you posted. While there are stories I have heard about women meeting the man of their dreams at the bar, they weren't intentionally looking either. This isn't to say it has never happened. I just think it would be against odds rather than in favour of.

Change your password before you break up.

There is only 1 friend of mine who knows my password to practically everything and that is our very own Rick. I met him about 6(?) years ago and while we may not see each other much, I do believe he is someone I want to keep around for a lifetime. He is the most trust worthy and loyal person I know apart from the person I'm with and I'm happy for him to know anything and everything about me. Quite often I have turned to Rick with my passwords for a few issues. But yeah, most trust worthy person EVER but don't get on his bad side.. He'd probably crash an entire system of computers :lol: As for my current partner at around a year of being together we knew eachothers passwords for everything (computer related, not bank cards etc) After many years, having a son with him and most likely getting hitched for life, we have combined things. I believe it is the smartest move we ever made. We now live together under the same roof. We now have a joint email account, share the same mobile phone, share the same computer, joint bank account, I've added his name to my business and our new car is going under both of our names. I don't believe at this stage in our lives we should ever have to ask each other who someone is. If you're a friend to me, you're also a friend to my partner and vice verser, we come as a whole package. If you have a problem with him, deal with it or get out of my life and the same goes in his life. We are eachothers number one and always will be. I've always been an open person in relationships - I don't hide things. If my phone gets a message, sure read it for me, if it rings, sure answer it for me. If you ask who someone is, I'm going to tell you, even if you may not like to know it's my ex of 3 years etc. I've never hidden anything, ever in a relationship. Even the first time I cheated on someone, I rang him and told him straight away.

Thanks Will (I'm Mel if you haven't already guessed..) that would most definitely be the show I watched yesterday. I just thought it was funny because it came on just as I started to begin my post (I lol'd for real). The funny part being a lot of that stuff used to work on me when I was younger, I was a sucker for it. As I wised up, wouldn't have a bar of it. The first time it ever worked on me in a club like the show, was a guy who asked me to buy him a drink. At the time I was like "Uh what... normally you would buy me a drink but okay then...". These days I would have bought him a drink of water for free and told him to sober up while walking away :lol: From experiences with it myself at your age I've come to believe it can be beneficial for genuine people to better themselves with a few things or abused by very, very many and get them laid or to hurt women to feel better about themselves. I would have no problem with a guy using it to hook, line and sinker to get the girl of your dreams but using it as an unfair advantage is disgusting to me. I don't think a person changes to the system, I don't believe in systems. I believe in a few traits people admire and better themselves by applying it to their personality for the better and unfortunately, also sometimes for the worst. A bit like reading a motivational or psychology book. I've read a lot in my time and have altered my life in many ways as well. They aren't systems or things I refer to, rather bettering yourself and being your best self as I think you've said somewhere. But yeah.. I believe age has something to do with it. I don't believe it would work on very many women wanting to settle down (What would they be doing at a bar in the first place looking for mr. right...)

I think he was just updating the average.. but it could be worded better ;)

I think it should be based upon an individuals personal boundaries. Try this: Hug your family member, hug your boyfriend/girlfriend, hug someone you first meet, hug someone you know a little, hug your friend. Take notice of your distance and their distance. While you could be a very open, friendly person and hug quite easily, others are not. Try this as a class experiment with many races, cultural differences and both genders too. This is the reason it shouldn't be enforced but rather based upon respecting an individuals personal boundaries. To overstep someone elses boundaries is just wrong and invasive, whether it be personal space, kissing or hugging.

I'm 22 so the average is now 17.5
