Wow, you could easily sell your house and travel for the rest of your life.
Kind of like me, I live in Los Vegas but we live in the southwest part of the city about 35 minutes with traffic from the strip where all the casinos are located. It's like a whole other planet. We go four times a year to see the botanical gardens at the Bellagio Hotel and that's it.
Vegas has been cooler the last several winters and had more rain than usual.
Hi, zLyn, thankyou. I’d forgotten I’d written this story until you took the tour to Coober Pedy. What a strange place. Thank you, I hope everyone enjoyed it there and at least found an Opal to take home.
Change occurs when we least it expect it. I know for me seeing the world again through my children's lives helped me grow as I'm sure it did you. Thank you for sharing your personal journey.
It's no different than my four children, politics are better not mentioned.
We had a nuclear power plant in Maine, the alarms would go off and it felt like death every time it happened. My first husband worked there quite often as a machinist and there were too many incidences where he had absorbed to much radiation and would have to wear special suits and walk for hours to sweat out the excess. Sometimes it would take over a week that he and co-workers were kept in isolation rooms until they were safe. Nuclear power plants come with more risks than they tell people.
The one in Maine had to be closed and sealed because of the reactor cracking. So many families in that area had cancer afterwards, it's terrifying what lies ahead.
Maybe Australia is luckier than we are here in the USA. Mining and exporting uranium is something, but the danger of it when put to use is another. As you said, "I’ve found it’s best to not get into political discussions with anyone." Imagine me with two sons who are the exact opposites of each other in every sense of the word. I always walk on eggshells.
It’s been a week since my last entry, and what a week it’s been.
Mental illness is the worst thing that anyone can experience and my youngest daughter has suffered badly from this for most of her life.
This week she has been placed in a clinic for a while, and whilst I know she is better off there, it is still heartbreaking to witness a child (even a grown up one) suffer.
I haven’t been able to think straight never mind write anything, although writing is where I usually turn to when I need to stop thinking about day to day stuff.
We had to rehome her dog Kya yesterday, it was heartbreaking as it was left to us to take her to her new home and to people she didn’t know.
I felt guilty for not keeping her myself but we don’t have the space for two big dogs as we already have Lucy our Weimaraner.
However the new owners sent us photographs and Kya seems to be okay so far.
Anyway I opened up WdC and saw I’d won the ACROBAT contest so that made me smile 😊
