To make you feel better, over this side of the ditch we have to get our cars warrant of fitness tested every 6 months - it is always really stressful whether it'll just be the warrant check you have to pay for or fork out hundreds for other bits and pieces. Tires always make me grumpy - they are so expensive. My brother just had to do all his tires and his seatbelt springs and something in his engine too - ouch.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Wow! Every 6 months is fairly often...we only register our vehicles every 12 months, so that's usually when things have to be replaced before they'll reregister it..Your brother's bill would have been enormous!! >.<

Dee-Ann mentioned yesterday she couldn't review either Michael!!

I'm almost about half way through Sarah's Last Wish and I'm so annoyed, cranky, with the doctors, the system....I can't believe how poor Sarah and her family were treated!!!

Won't it let you do what I just did Michael...click on reply? Issues, issues.....go to the Goodreads Feedback Michael, see if you can get some answers there...

[★ Jess]

It might just be your computer...try some other website, mine is fine.

[★ Jess]

That is weird :/
This is also just a post to see if I get taken to the top of the thread...

Nope. All fine.

My daughter is about to have all 4 of her wisdom teeth out next month. Not sure how she'll fair. My older daughter had the same thing done a couple of years ago and wasnt pretty for a few days. Having 5 wisdom teeth?? I guess you've got two on the one side then? Does that mean they'll charge you for the extra tooth?

Disagree with the list. Not enough modern literature, full of 'classics' which aren't necessarily enjoyable reading.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Off to bed now, night all:)

[★ Jess]

Me too!
oh wait, homework :/

Amber, that is outrageous. Please message me with a few more details - I might be able to help.

I am SO BORED!.

I really should be in Lab, doing chemistry but today is SO NICE outside (Syd, NSW). I am not even outside, just knowing that it is nice outside is enough to demotivate me.

Lame!

I had all mine out a couple of months ago. worst thing ever! I dropped heaps of weight cause I couldnt eat and the pain killers made me sick
I send my sympathies

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Poor Michael, you're not having much luck with your health, are you?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Good attitude Michael...also, once they are gone, and the pain is finished, you won't have to think about them any more:)

[[deleted user]]

naw sorry michael dw I sure the drugs will work for you my body dosent even like panadol!

I know lots of people who have had fine experiences with getting their wisdom teeth out.

hope you start feeling better soon but I understand your pain

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

There was a girl at the place we had lunch today, serving customers, and she'd had one wisdom tooth out this morning O.O!!!

[★ Jess]

Aw, good luck Michael. Im sure you'll be fine!

[★ Jess]

In other news, On September 5 I have my Personal Project due, which is a giant assignment that year 10's in IB schools have to do. If we dont pass, we technically fail the MYP-middle school, and years 6-10 will have been for nothing.
Anyway, the whole year level is freaking out, some people haven't even started their report or final product, which is a worry. Ive dont my product, and am 2,700 words into the report which has to be 4000 max.
Ugh, stressing out. I still need to have it edited and everything :s

[[deleted user]]

ahh good luck Jess..souds like my yr 12 12.7 however wasnt as stressed as we had other ways of making up the grade for our op (QSC and the like)

I'm sure you will do fine

Good luck with it Jess, I'm sure you'll be fine:)

Carmel wrote: "Brenda, a wisdom tooth out & then serving customers, that's all wrong!!
Jess, well done for being organised, takes alot of the pressure off and the final product is likely to be so much better!"

That's what I said to her....."you shouldn't be here"!!!!

[Amber]

Good luck Michael - I'm sure you'll be fine. I had all four wisdom teeth removed at once eight years ago, and to be honest I didn't find it all that noticeable. Of course, that might have something to do with them lengthening my jaw and shortening my chin in the same operation; but for the whole lot I was on Panadol Forte from Friday night til Monday morning, so I guess it really wasn't that bad.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Another pretty little flower from our garden.....

[★ Jess]

Thats beautiful :)

[★ Jess]

In other news, I saw a legit pedophile outside school today. Im not even joking, it was the scariest thing :/

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks guys, they are beautiful aren't they...a big variety of colours too:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Oh Jess, that is scary!! Hope the police picked him up!

[★ Jess]

Carmel wrote: "Oh Jess that sounds very creepy, hopefully someone reported him!"

We told a teacher, and he was concerned when we pointed the guy out to him. It was so scary!

[[deleted user]]

sounds like a fun day Jess :/

news on my end...I am working a 7 day week this week...and I think I just might not make it!
also it has been raining all day here and looks like the scene from The Fog (which is a horrible movie with a very very depressing ending)

[[deleted user]]

Well it is because I have two jobs...I so I guess I cant really blame them but still...where is the time to nurse a hang over? hahaha

[[deleted user]]

Melanie, when you work a 7 day week, it means a lot more days, cos you immediately go into the 2nd week....how many days straight, or do you have one off after the 7th, going into the 2nd week? Good luck with it, you'll be exhausted!!! I remember working 13 days straight once....oh boy!!

A couple of years ago I worked two jobs for a year which meant a 7 day week - it was pretty horrible. I did get used to it but I wouldn't recommend it.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Lucky girl....we had a blegh day yesterday, and it's looking to be the same today:( Just as well I've got heaps to do inside:(

I hope you can get outside and enjoy it Carmel:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Poor Melanie....no, don't think about it, just take each day as it comes....

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Oh Michael, I'm so sorry to hear that:( I hope you are feeling OK? Did they have any idea about it all, or is it still a wait and see situation? Good luck at your doctors tomorrow.. Take care:)
