JiP

Went to hospital yesterday as I have internal bleeding. I need to have a test done but it costs $1,500. :( So I'll be on the waiting list for around 9 months :(

OH GOD!

I'm toying with the idea of reporting him to the EPA. Apparently there is a max fine of $80k, tho i'm doubtful he'd get a huge fine at all. Today i've bought chains, I've bought locks etc. I'm locking all my stuff away.

I AM SO ANGRY!! Woken up with the housemates feral pet in my room. Now I'm trapped and its somewhere under my bed. The landlord has told him no pets, do I have the right to call the RSPCA as it also illegal to have it in this state? Tho I'd rather the landlord kick them both out together.

thanks mate, oh and Trev, raiding my facebook again? First stealing every female friend I have and now my photos?

haha wow, I just noticed this. thanks all. Yeah sadly I didn't have birthday drinks. I had to work that night. I made up for it this Saturday just gone. I stand by the fact that I didn't drink the one and a half bottles of bourbon on my own. My glass just had a hole in it. :|

Hey I hear you have a New vehicle ready for the camping trip, just not a corolla :P: lOl Hey where'd you get that camp kitchen from again?

Dob her in. Saw some mail come in at work last night with a note written on it about a lady who is using a friends address so she can claim centrelink and the flood assistance. There are people out there that need it more. As for myself I may have been floodbound, couldn't get to work, had no power and lost food. But there are other people that are more hard done by and I surely didn't loose anywhere near $1,000 worth of food/wages.

Its actually Fairfield Road right in front of the Queensland Tennis Centre. The road just dropped off real deep there

Well my phone is back from repairs... Well I popped my head out the front door on the Wednesday to see the river at the btm of my street... EVAC! roll in the stink... The other side of my street blocked off... This guys is crazy enough to walk through it... The SES driving through (While its still low) Almost gone... See the white house, there is a wagon in that driveway. :( ...said wagon Other end of the street... Tennis anyone? Sunset... Flooded... Artificial landfill... How high it got... The aftermath... ...said wagon Lost cars... The army rolls in, the local train station car park is another landfill site... Brisbane Exhibition Centre. Carpark Full...of water :S Further down the road the clean up for the local businesses... What happened to you mail? I had to work next to this foul smelling crap :S

WGMG is going out and being stood up, being on my own in the club, being to shy to talk to anyone, then meeting someone I'd been wanting to meet and being used like some sort of slut, then when I get home being spoken to on MSN by several people saying they saw me out and wanted to talk to me but didn't think someone like me would be into them. FML!! I hate being told I'm so attractive yet everyone is so scared to talk to me :S I need confidence!! Anyone know where I can get some? (And drugs aren't an option)

apparently at Kenmore Coles there was a lady who had a whole trolley full of milk. She was told by the operator she couldn't have that much. So she chucked up a stink. The police were eventually called and she was removed. Its amazing how some people are so selfish.

Must admit Brisbane City council you suck!! The red circle is a set of three towers that the city council has allowed to be built in this floodable area. The majority of Yeronga/Fairfield that flooded were parks. I'd assume the reasoning to why they have never been inhabited is this that they flood. I've worked on a job site in the past that consisted of 5 towers like these. I wondered where the builder got the land from. Turns out in the street directory the land was a swamp/park. Seems if you have money, you can build anywhere. Feel sorry for the owners of those units. The green circle is where all the rubbish was/is dumped. :)

One word WOW. It has been nuts. The Saturday before the floods I made a big gamble, I moved all my possessions, spent thousands of dollars and moved out of dry old Logan to the riverside suburb of Yeronga :S Tuesday I was in Roacklea and the SES shut down the Bunnings I was in and I had to go home. From then onwards I stayed home. Leaving my place wasn't very easy. The new tennis centre was under so I couldn't get to work via Fairfield Road. They shut off my power so all i could do was wait and watch the water rise. The police were catching looters so I refused to evac. They also shut off the only way into the areas so if I left I wouldn't be able to return as I had no documentation saying I lived there. The 94 year old lady next door informed me that the water levels hadn't gotten to her in 74, so I knew I was safe. My family were skitzing out, thinking the dam would burst and I'd get wiped out. I was tempted to park my car down the hill with hope that I could get a new one lOl. I was lucky I did a massive shop for food the Sunday before the floods, and most of it was in the freezer. So all that food got me through as it slowly defrosted over the next 3 days while the power was cut. Up my street there were a few mansions that had massive generators running around the clock. Was quite a site seeing extension cords linking rows of houses up with each other. Now that is how neighbours should be like. The man down the road offered some of his power to charge my phone, or some space in his fridge but I politely declined. I was hoping to ride it out. I was managing charging my phone in my car and placing it on power saving mode to conserve energy. The tenants downstairs and my housemate all evac'd. It was a lonely few days and I couldn't get anyone in. Once the water went down it was an amazing site to see. Firstly the smell. Different areas had certain smells. Ours was of the tip. So many people helping out clearing rubbish. Soon the park down the road became a huge tipface. They had so much rubbish the car park at the train station became another storage spot for the smelling rubbish. I felt bad for not helping out, I wanted to so I went to my brother in laws mothers house in Roacklea with my high pressure cleaner and my mates generator. I must say this is something I'll remember for a long time. The smell, the site of everyone's belongings piled up on the footpaths, and the amazing generosity of the local people of Brisbane. Strangers helping out one another. Others bringing free food and beverages. It was amazing. Brisbane, I honestly think I would never want to leave. its amazing how people can pull in together and help. I love this city!! Now a days i am seeing so many army vehicles around here. I have taken a lot of photos but sadly my phone went in for repairs today. So maybe next week I'll post what I saw. Glad to hear that everyone here is okay. Has anyone heard from rolladude? (Andrew)?

I'm still keen :)

Awesome. I'll bring a bar fridge :)
