We're all so dumb at first, all been guilty of it. Or have we...think i hated it as soon as we got there. Only stayed to shut the OH up! He came round to my way of thinking not long after

Oh yes, M3, they get right up my nose too. Who doesnt love a holiday (usually!). It usually isnt just "love" though it is "absolutely love" and "fell in love with XYZ and this is the best thing we have ever done and we are living the dream" Poor sods.
I yearn to put up my "30 years and cant stand the barren soul-less boring place at the a*se end of the world" post but no one would rush with the "OMG how inspiring" responses so I dont bother.

They are in the honeymoon period.....reality has not clicked in for most.....Like Quoll would post a 'been here 22 years and ......' but no point .

Re: whinge - the update forum
C'mon though, lets be fair. Its great when people post their experiences - even as someone who is still nowhere near 100% happy here I like to read about how others are enjoying it - and even if they have only been here a few days, so what? I don't begrudge them their happiness, I seem to remember I was like that at first.
Gives inspiration to alot of other people who may be having doubts about getting here for one thing.
And not all of them are positive either - the Updates forum does get a fair percentage of unhappy/unsettled posts.
Takes all sorts to make a world - and to make a forum - and the more varied the experiences the better for BE

Margaret3 needs to hit someone and have a good whinge session. Who are we to deny her. You go for it girl ...
PS - I've been here two and bit years and I mostly like it but occasionally I'm not sure longterm. Can I have a mini-whinge every now and again please?

Re: whinge - the update forum
You should hear some of my whinges, there's nothing mini about them, I promise you I can dientify with a lot of Margaret's thoughts about Aus, but I do like to still read the positive stuff though - it may not be heaven for me, but who am I to complain cos someone else is lucky enough to be happy? Its interesting to read both sides of the experience I think
I concentrate on the postives ......most of the time........... but even i had the forsight to wait six months before posting on the update forum, and tbh i felt like these people for 10 days as well, it took about six months before holiday mode wore off
