Why is it that FIGJAM and hypocrisy seem to go hand in hand? Why is it the people that seem to think they are so great that their shit doesn't stink, feel the need to put others down ? Yes, I have heard all the arguments about " They really are insecure, blah blah". I know some are, I am talking about the ones who truly believe in FIGJAM. The ones who ..no matter what you have done, have always done it and 10 times better. That think everything they do is so damn wonderful. Here is a l...

OMG ..I am so pissed off right now !!! Did all you Aussies know that maccas in the US has brekkie burittos and 170 different types of REAL chicken breast burgers !!! We get sucky McCafes .... if I want coffee and cake I have thousands of coffee shops to choose from. I'm going to start a petition. I want all Aussies to sign and join me in this fight against discrimination. Jess

As you rush about your day to day life, stop for a moment and try to remember the last time you enjoyed one of life's simple pleasures. It is so easy to get caught up in the rush, with the 1001 things most of us have to fit into a day and because we are all so busy and it is easy to take the instant gratification of artificial pleasures. Stop.... take time out. Even if it is just once a week to do something that gratifies your soul too. The simple pleasures... Remember the joy of wal...

This is one of the local legends from the Sunshine Coast Qld. Because alot of you seem interested in aus, I thought you might enjoy this. Aboriginal legend tells us that The Coloured Sands were formed as follows: "Way back in dream-time, there lived on the banks of the Noosa River a beautiful black maiden called Murrawar who fell in love with the Rainbow, which came to visit her here every morning. She would clap her hands and sing to this lovely rainbow. "One day the Burwilla, ...

I have only been a member for a short time but i would like to say this site is amazing. The freedom to put your thoughts into words, share them with others and receive feedback is so good. From the deepthinking to the ridiculous ...the laughing so hard i cry to the crying so hard for someones pain ......the nostalgic warmth of others, you have it all. To make this site so diverse and entertaining requires a broad spectrum of individuals as with any such group not everyone is going to agre...

I dragged myself out of bed at 3:30 yesterday morning, to attend a Dawn Service for ANZAC Day. Standing in tha park around the cenotaph with like minded people. The river behind us, the sound of the surf, birds calling ...pure peace. Listening to the sounds of The Last Post, reflecting on the people who had so much love and courage that they gave and risked everything to bring peace. I wonder what they are thinking now. Do they wonder why? Do they shake their heads at the state of the worl...

Is it just me, or do other people out there have to use guerilla tactics to beat everyone else in their house to the toilet? In my house, they lie in wait for me. They can all be comatose on the couch, staring blankly at the idiot box. But let me open my bedroom door and it clicks a signal in someones brain ..an "OMG toilet" signal. As it is a shorter route to the bathroom from the lounge room, I am the one left standing outside the door with my eyes n legs crossed ... CURSING UNDER M...
