I think that would be anti germs. There'll be a support group for them, rising up to fill you up with sick germy things. You must be careful.

I'll survive, I'm spending the next few days with a nurse so if I have got any nasty germy things I'll be in the right place to get them cured :lol:

I'm now 26 and 1 month ago came back out here again on a Permanent Residency visa. I now also have 2 children (one of which was born here 2 weeks ago). I intend on staying here for good.

I think living here is what you make of it.. At the time of leaving Australia in 07 i thought I was doing the right thing but regretted it after a few months..

I knew coming out here the second time that I was going to come across hard times when all I would want to do is go home but I think that if you are serious about living here then you have to give it at least a year.. Otherwise, how are you able to really and truly able to make a conclusion about a country, or even a city the size of Melbourne in any shorter time period?

Everyone is going to have things they dislike about living here, but surely there is enough that is better than other countries to at least warrant weighing up the good against the bad?

Although i'm struggling to find work that's right for me, I love it here.... There are so many other people in the world who envy those of us who are brave enough and have the ability to come to Australia, the other side of the world, to start a new life.. Now i'm gonna head out on the veranda and enjoy the afternoon sunshine with a beer!!!

i look at as a bath of water. stick yir toe in. then decide if its too hot or cold for ya.
the wife likes a hot shower i like them cold. so from now on i have decided that i am wrong and will never shower again lol:lol:
