sbhennops Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hi EveryoneWell it seems as though I am not going to make it after all. The people I work with won't swop shifts with me so I can go to the picknick so I am a little upset at the moment. I have met some nice SA people, but they just don't seem to be the kind of people I would call a real friend. I am still looking for those people and hoped to make some really great friends at the picnic. The more I get upset the worse my spelling gets and it is pathetic as I suffer from a form of dislexia. Office has spell check which helps.I find that some of the people who I meet have a preconceived idea of what kind of SA people move to OZ. I am just a farmgirl, who does not have children, loves animals and adores my hubby. I call an apple an apple and despise lying and refuse to lie to people even if the truth hurts. I would rather have people hate me than call me a liar. Why are some SA people so damned stuck up, its not like they are really anyone important. I wish everyone would just stop being pretencious(bugger the spelling) and get on with life. Other SA people don't want anything from them, they just want to keep in touch with something that feels real to them when they are down and longing for home. Money does not buy style or class. You are either bred with it or not. So those who do think they are the cats whiskers, get over yourselves the sun does not set everytime you sit down. Sorry for the language but I can't stand Pretenciuos pri....ks!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope I spelt that right at least.Sorry but I needed to vent and I enjoy most of the people on the forums posts, they sound down to earth.Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathyW Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Hi everyone,After 1 month of being in Perth and could never make up our minds Brissie or Perth, Brissie or Perth, we have now come to a conclusion and it is Brissie.If anybody could please let us know where this park is? We should be in Brissie round abouts the 16/17th May that would be nice and hopefully we will be joining you all for the picnic.Steph, I read your message but was totally confused..... I have learn't such a long and hard lesson, don't waste your time on insignificant people and the lessor things in life, you are what you are and always appreciate who you are because you are somebody special to the people that count most in your life. People who think they are something better are unhappy people and all you can do is help them to see the reality in the real world.Sorry just had to add to your message. We are all so lucky to be in Australia today and alive and well. Enjoy your time here and sweep the dirt out.CheerioKathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aktief55+ Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Ons sal seker eers volgende jaar Mei se SAkuier in Brisbane saam met julle kom geniet,ons harte is egter reeds daar en ons vertrou die 18de se piekniek op die rivierwalle gaan 'n great experience vir een en elkeen daar wees. Bid asseblief vir diegene wat nog besig is om te besluit of nog vasgevang voel in die uitgerekte proses van emigrasie. Sal iemand tydens die kuiergeleentheid vir ons navraag doen wie almal oorweeg ook om hul ouers te laat oorkom Brisbane toe.Ons wil graag daardie 50plussers hier kontak, want dis 'n groep mense met eiesoortige issues wanneer dit kom by emigrasie. Ons sal hulle graag wil aanmoedig, ondersteun en wanneer ons arriveer in ons nuwe heimat, 'n 50plusser klub begin. Ons is so opgewonde om te lees van al hoe meer jongmense en jong SAner egpare wat in Brisbane gaan vestig. Stuur asseblief ons liefdegroete aan almal by die piekniek, julle het die regte besluit betyds geneem!BlessingsAktief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
