Becks! That is amazing news! I am so happy for you, you definitely deserve it after all your waiting. Yes, patience does always pay off. I wish you happiness and growth in your new job. It is always so wonderful to get a job that you've wanted for ages. I hope you have fun, meet some wonderful collegues and have nothing but good times there.

Most of you will know how I have been struggling for over year to get a job with any significant hours, in the area of laboratory work. Well, I got a phone message the other day from a guy at my work saying my details had been given to him and I was highly spoken of etc and that he wanted to talk to me about a possible job working on a project in the microbiology department. So I rang him back and we arranged to meet this afternoon. So I went in and all went well! He is passing my details to the contractor who is doing the work, I will meet with the boss there and then they will draw up a contract for me! It's only 20 hours a week (job sharing with someone who the contractor doesn't want to let go of) BUT he is going to try and sort out that I get paid $25 an hour!!!! I'm absolutely stoked, even though it's not full time, because I will still be doing my other few hours of work with the cheese people, it'll amount to about 3 full time days a week, working in the mornings every day. Plus it's doing microbiology lab work, and being in a lab is what I've wanted all this time. I am so excited and hopefully all goes well when I meet the contractor. Finally my patience has paid off!  |

Ok, so it's a cold. One thing that WILL work. Zytec D, you know the stuff you have to show ID at the pharmacy counter to get these days?! Will dry you up in 3 doses. Almost gaurentee it! Does wonders for me and it does not cause drowsiness. Try it! You'll like it!

No cure for colds -
Rest & sleep is required. Drink fluids, as much as possible, especially water. Keep warm - stay in an even warm
temperature. Give yourselves time to get over it, then nobody is else is likely to catch it from you. Incubation period
for colds, influenza is about 3 days. |

Oh no! You've still got it? That sucks big time!
I did a 110km cycle race on Sunday with a stomach bug and it was hell! The only thing I could keep down was coke. I have never drank that much coke in my life before! I stopped at every hydration station and loaded up on a cup lol. The wind was gale force again this year but that bout of gastro was hell! I'll take sun exposure over that anyday! I hope you get better soon Freeze xx
Oh and I still have emotional suffering from the state of the porta potties.. not cool, so not cool lol.

Looks like you had a good time with your family, Ron. Your Grandson is adorable, hope you spoil him rotten!
And 81F? Thats, about 28.. ish... (I have to think about it- everyone uses celcius over here). Don't think I'll be feeling those kind of temperatures til I head off to Greece in June, but I can't knock the weather over here, after an incredibly long cold winter we are finally seeing some warm sunshine, in fact its all gone a little crazy as all the spring flowers that would normally flower one after the other (snowdrops, crocus, daffs) have suddenly come out all at once. Every park and garden I pass looks amazing, if a little strange.
Thanks Becks, Spa. It was totally crazy, I'm still pretty tired, had about six hours sleep in three days. Totally worth it, mind.

I'll forget about it but I think some of my posts you are quick to jump on me when I'm not even referring to you.
I post that I'm going to ROTR 2010 and immediately I read about how bad everyone sucks on the bill. I was responding to that.
The same two people have posted quite a few times that this sucks or that sucks and I'm just wondering what makes them the experts.
I'm not lashing out I'm just responding in kind.

Everyone is such an expert as to what's good and what isn't. Please, spare me. It's all opinion and the great
thing about that is an opinion only matters to the person giving it. I'm going to enjoy Rob Zombie, Godsmack,
Limp Bizkit, Three days Grace, Mastodon, Slash, and others. Admittedly some of the line up may be a little weak
but there are 38 bands over two days. You don't have to watch them all. Some of the people on here who complain
about troublemakers are the ones throwing the most shit. You guys are way to freakin' negative towards everything
different than you. Lighten up and realize the world does not revolve around you.
