I'm reminiscing now Auto ..... only just got back from my post op checkup with my specialist and all is looking goooooood. Despite having to get the implant dug up and it and the iris shunted about on Tuesday my vision is excellent! (Looking at me at the moment is still turning stomachs though ...... which is probably not something new :laugh2: ). I sadly missed depth perception for too long, but now ...... it's back.

Great to hear the complications are sorted uni, and sounds like you'll be burning holes in the form guide before too soon

All you beautiful people and you could have a head like mine :laugh2: so lucky I have a big :give_heart:

You can't be too bad on the eyes AJ, I bet your Mum loves ya. But this bloke has some issues, and I do remember good old Beetle Bomb, and what about Mr Ed, he was OK as well. :biggrin:

Now if McDuck were a betting man he'd be on "Treasure Map" at Manangatang R5#3 :mocking: Had to look up where that was and it's just up the road from Chinkapook!

A mate attended that carnival nearly every year for years. The Ramornie Hcp was one of the big sprint races I believe. Would be a good thing to do AJ, when I can scrounge up enough cordial bottles to cash in

[ausjack]

Yes the Ramornie and south grafton and grafton cups, a big week of racing
:laugh2: mate now does that brings back some memories. From when I was about 7 till about 12 I use to run in front of the garbage truck flipping the lids off the bin for a few blocks and then the garbo's would give me about half a dozen glass drink bottles so then up to the shop and get 20cent a bottle and for a $1.20 back then you'd get a HUGE bag of lollies hehe, but now after see what some are worth I should have been saving them :dash1: But then when I was about 12 the owner of the local shop gave me a job pealing and chipping spuds and stacking the shelves for $2 a day (a few hours after school) and that was pretty good money so wasn't long and I bought my first three man tent But with all the laws on child labour and exploitation these days there's no way a young bloke would even get a break like that so I have been working from a young age but I honestly don't think it did me any harm and actually taught me a lot about respect and responsibility..maybe that's part of the problem of the youth of today as we never got pocket money and still had to do my chores around the house and I think I got it easy compared to the older gen from me as some of my relo's went to work on family farms or in the bush cutting trees unlike today where they get a huge allowance + everything the kids want and don't even have to lift a finger.
I also use to go out the road with my billycart that I made and pinch corn and grind it up and sell it for chook feed to a few of the neighbours, the old farmer didn't mind us taking a few cobs but didn't like us taking a heap, come to think of it he was a nice old bloke too. The people were just a lot nicer and seemed to be less stressed and aggressive as compared to today, I wonder why :scratch_one-s_head:

[autocoupler]

Next time I'm up your way you'll see how pretty I am, I'm hot aren't I Uni :laugh2:

I bought my first three man tent

:grin: AJ :shok: Just looking at the two previous quotes above :heat: :shock: :laugh2::laugh2::laugh2: :haha: just funning Mate :mocking: :tease::laugh2::laugh2:

You're dead right about the older generations, my Dad left school at 14 and worked for board and keep on a dairy farm in the late 1920's. He used to say since he wasn't being paid as such, he made sure he was well fed. Working daylight to dusk you would want to be.

Things were a lot simpler and easier when I was growing up, and I was lucky to have a newspaper run before and after school for which I got paid. The afternoon run was the best, I would make more in tips at the pubs, than what the news agent paid me.

Even though I feel we had it much easier than our parents, there were definitely things we would have liked to have had or done, but knew it wasn't realistically attainable so didn't bother any further with those thoughts until we could reasonably afford it.

Today it seems there is so much on offer, and families are saturated with advertising to the point where many find themselves way too far in debt for many differing reasons. In todays society the pressure to have the biggest, the best or whatever someone else has is tremendous, and no worries if the dollars aren't there, because credit is so easy to get.

Coupled with alcohol and gambling 24/7, as well as the ever present drug issues, no wonder the level of family violence is spiralling out of control more than ever  before.

Talking about spirals, I think I've just talked myself into one damnit :diablo: so off to do some coining and recuperate :kez_11:

[ausjack]

:laugh2: all good mate you know I like to joke around :friends: and Uni will tell you I've pretty..pretty bloody ugly :laugh2: Nah I'm not that bad :blush2:
But what you said is so very true :winkextra:

Hello,

Society is changing, we are getting softer, lazier and we want it now. How many Kids save up or get a job to buy something ? If they didnt work for it they wont look after it, and then whinge when it is stuffed. Many are in debt to the eyeballs for something they want rather than need. They over-commit and fib on loan applications then when things go bad blame the Bank. Live within your means, not hard really. If you look at the people that say how hard done by they are, normally it is caused by bad choices, nothing else.
