Yeah, I agree!

Have you ever been out of South Australia, sensia?

Uhh... No. Lol. But I've watched a lot of Vids and seen alot of photos.. ^^'

We were planing to go to Sydney later this year but everywhere is booked out. If the world doesn't end we'll probably go next year.

Hopefully your trip to Sydney works out for next year, it's a fun place.

Hehe, I haven't been to that many places either. Lemme think, in Australia I've been to Melbourne and other parts of Victoria, Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane, Gold Coast....rest of the places I've been have been in South Australia. Still haven't been to Perth or Tasmania, and still wondering whether or not I want to go to Northern Territory.

Melbourne probably has the most memories for me outside of Adelaide and South Australia. I‘ve been there 3 times, at ages 8, 15 and 24. First two times were fun especially because we drove there from Adelaide in the family car. Funnily enough, we drove the same car there both times, my dad was told he was 'crazy' for driving such an old car the second time, by the mechanic that fixed his car when it broke down in Melbourne. LOL.

Travelling is fun, should do it more often.

Lol. The only places I've been are; Port Augusta, Melrose, Mount Pleasant, Yukamurundi (sp?), Kangaroo Island and various places between there and home.. Mostly on visits to 'Family' so I don't count them as trips.

That's interesting, Apart from Kangaroo Island I haven't been to any of those places you mentioned.

Ehhh.. They're nice but I don't remember much of them.. The fibro has really screwed with my memories.

Fibro...that sounds like an abbreviated version of a name of a medical condition I'm sure I've heard of somewhere before....I'm sorry to hear that it's screwed up with your memories.

You've probably heard it from me. Fibromyalgia. It has many things connected to it. Like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

----------

Also extreme sensitivity to pain, amongst other senses.

I’m sure I've heard of Fibromyalgia prior to my Menewsha but anyway that does sound unfortunate, those symptoms do sound unfortable. I never realised it could cause problems with memory though.

It causes many different things in as many people. One of mine is the memory retrieval system. No matter what I do I cannot consciously recall most of my past.

Just curious, how far as far as age goes can you remember now? And do you know if this would change in the future?

Well.. I'm 20 now and I can barely remember classes from last year.. I still retain the knowledge I just can't remember the event. With frequent care, some of the more dangerous problems are getting under control. Finding a doctor who's willing to listen to me who won't be moving in six months is a challenge. The main reason I'm so bad is I haven't had good medical care since it all started. I'm so pissed off at some of the doctors. They had me as diabetic taking insulin! That could have killed me.

Oh my goodness! It's scary when people are misdiagnosed like that. And not being able to remember events from last year is certainly unusual. especially at your age.

I wasn't even diagnosed. It was just a hand written note stuck in my file.

It is weird.. but sometimes I can remember obscure things from farther back. At the Christmas dinner I remembered that some one had requested a picture from me, no one else knew what I was talking about. ^^'

That's different. But I suppose significant events, or just events out of the ordinary are easier to remember. And the mind works in strange ways.

Hi all!

Hey there Narcotic Dolly, your avatar looks like sugary sweet tastiness!

Ha thanks Ling. She will be ready by easter, I hope. You look like chinese new year and valentines rolled into one!

That's kinda the look I was going for. When I created it it was just past Chinese New Year and Valentines Day is just around the corner now, very soon indeed, so I figured it was appropriate. :D

Then you managed it perfectly. 2 birds with one stone and it's such a cute stone!

Thanks ^^

So are you from Australia or elsewhere?

I'm from New Zealand. I hold no grudges, I swear lol. And you Sweet-Ling?

-is watching Fat Belly-

I live in Australia and no grudges either. :)

Never been to New Zealand but I have a friend who has, and she says it's a nice place.

My sister is in Auz right now picking fruit. She's loving it. Never been to Auz personally but I have seen Neighbours and Home and Away lol.

Oh yeah, I'm not sure about Home and Away, as I've never really watched that show before but I know that Neighbours backgrounds/sets are pretty much typical suburban areas of Australia. :)
