Tiffles hun, the biggest of hugs from me.

I know just what you're going through, almost, and hope you don't have to sell the Bongo. We were there last year (almost ended up on the street thanks to an evil landlady and unemployment, sold lots of our belongings just to buy food - hence my absence from here!) so I know how tough it is to be in that situation.

I'm certain things will improve for you, and I'm really really sorry to hear about your cat - I love cats and I know nothing I can say will make it better.

Got nothing to offer except hugs - PM me if you want a girly chat - this lot are good for most things ;) , but if you want to have a group cry, let me know :)

Thinking of you xxx

I think the most interesting person to have a cry with would be the Dude. Especially in the wee hours of the morning when he's most prolific. ;)

Good luck Tiffles -- hopefully these worldwide good thoughts will help. Playing that bass is great 'stress reduction' too! -Bert

M: Do you think I should wash my beard?
B: I think you should wash it, then shave it off, nail it to a frisbee, and fling it over a rainbow.

...THEN someone suggested that to get money to live on i should SELL MY BONGO.


at THAT point i got rather cranky.

It's bad enough to have job problems and loose a pet, but when people suggest that you should sell your bass.... damn..... that's too much.

wow, well the big guy never lets me down, ever.

first, dad gets to go to korea on some temporary contract consulting work, hes not as chuffed as me, cause he might miss out on a week hol at the coast just sleeping in on the beach, and yes thats a downside but hello! travel. ill convince him lol. i loove travel.

and the guys from the hospital rang and YES they have to pay me minimum wage for a 21 year old. so its alot better, no plans for a new bass, but i will get to keep the boy and even have a few dollars a week to buy clothes. :)
after i buy a work shirt i so want to order and ebmm one :D i wont get too ahead of myself though. silly things may get in the way of that, like bond and the first two weeks without pay (cause its fortnightly pay bleh.):rolleyes:

thanks guys for all your wishes and prayers. it rocks, i mean for goodness sake, im a chick from australia with a kick ass bass and thats all you need apparently to have a tonne of great people look out for you. wow.


just glad ive got the kick ass bass eh? lol

Whoa, I'm a little stunned.

You mean all that "good vibes from all of us" crap really WORKED?

That's kind of scary.

I don't think it ever worked before.



congrats, baby.

I had always secretly hoped that "fortnightly" was a real word used somewhere in the world.

And 'chuffed'.

I thought I was chuffed the other night, but I didn't have a dictionary handy and then the mood passed.

I really appreciate your contributions and your sense of humor and grace.......you are a bright light here

Amen and amen.

Do you lot NOT use the words "chuffed" or "fortnightly"??? :eek:

I am shocked! What else can you be if you are not dead chuffed!

Tiffles my love, we have work to do! :)

Really glad things are looking up for you :p

Tiff's ~ that kicks @ss that you are getting back on track!

Yes, a bass (or any instrument for that matter) is expendable.

But as mentioned earlier, it can be a great source of therapy to deal with stress.

So...maybe it's not so expendable. :)
