:You are so right i told DH we would be buying a zoo membership so he could go see the Melbourne zoo in Jan he hasnt been for years time to find some more inexpensive things to do in WA as well
Thanks PIO you summed up exactly how i feel about the DIS as well it doesn't feel normal to me to not come here and see how everyone is doing

I can't wait until our trip to Melbourne in March
Have been 4 times before, but last time was years ago, so really looking forward to it

If you are in Melbourne and wanna catch up for a coffee or something, PM me. I'm always up for a catch up......assuming of course, that you wanna catch up with me (and that's a big assumption!!)


That goes for anyone who is making a trip to Melbourne; including those in Melbourne.

Perhaps we could start a private Facebook group. That way we'd know who's who in the zoo and would be able to track if something happened to someone. I know not everyone would be keen to reveal their identities like that though and I completely understand many wouldn't be up for it.

If you are keen send me a PM with your Facebook details and I'll create it

If you don't think it's a good idea that's cool too

Great idea Shuttergirl. I'm not on FB and have been resisting signing up (I really AM the shy, retiring type in real life). You're certainly making it very difficult for me to keep resisting!

Awwww, sorry PIO, I didn't want to lure you over to the dark side . If you aren't on there then don't do it. It can become addictive.

That's what I'm afraid of. The Dis is a bad enough addiction. I don't need anything else.

 

[WAMUMOF4]

See sounds like you've gotten up today and are feeling brighter already. PIO makes a wonderful point about the friendships we've made on here. It's good to have somewhere to go that is a "soft place to land".

It's like we have our own little "Cheers Bar" here, where everyone knows your name, well your Disboards name that is .

Its amazing how much admitting that i was struggling with the fact that i dont think we can afford a trip next year made
You are way to quick havent even had a chance to write i have pmd you and you have already accepted my friend request

we're all in this together.....thru thick waisted and thin bank accounts...in crazy exotic diseases and slightly fluy times.....

like all animals in the animal world, we tend to flock together with our own kind...and our herd is greatly diminished when one is taken by a puma/lion/bad hair day/post trip blues....

so to those of you struggling with coming back to reality...I say, move on up into the warmth of the herd and let us hunt and gather for you until your back on your feet

you always hit the nail on the head

I don't want to make anyone sad, but DH chats on a forum, anyway one of their regulars was killed and no one knew for a long time. I can't remember how they found out, but you know how it is, people don't post for a while and you just thing they are busy. Sad....

Thats awfully sad

On another note ds15 spent this past weekend on an end of year football trip. 20 fifteen year old boys and a couple of coaches, all meals from the BBQ - he says last night, I think I am getting scurvy, I need some vegetables!

At least he came home wanting vegetables

I've been away for a while but have been lurking the last couple of days.

Cancelled the December trip, it's all too depressing. Trying to focus on getting rid of my excess lard. But I have missed Dis, so decided to pop in and see what was happening, how all of the Sept/Oct trips went and how all of those Nov/Dec plans are coming along (even though I'm not going now )

Sorry you had to cancel your trip but Welcome back been wondering where you were

Most definatley would love to catch up will let you know what dates we will be there when its finalised.

PIO you could always join facebook and only join the group that Ms. Shuttergirl has set up you can have your profile set up so no one else can see it

It would be great to meet up PIO, I will be with DH & DS though as we are going to the Grand Prix, so not sure if there will be any spare time, (DD is staying behind with the grandparents). Will let you know closer to the time what we are up to.

I have not used Facebook either, but I have set myself up with a login...

Thanks WAMUMOF4!

PIO I agree, come and join the FB group, pretty please.

Come on, as WAMUMOF4 said, you can just set up a profile and join the group. FB can be fun! I'm not a big poster on my profile, but i do like seeing what's going on.

 

[Travel Mum]

Oh wow, now I have a dilemma in the mornings! Normally my first check is to the Anzac Disboards and then I go over to Facebook. However, I currently have two screens open with one on each and, whilst I haven't started reading it yet, I see our Anzac Disboards group on FB has has even more activity on it since I went to bed last night (by which time, it was snowballing) . So, what is my new morning routine to be ?

. Karen has been remarkably quiet, perhaps she's a secret ninja agent and doesn't want her true identity revealed. I always knew she was a ninja .


I've received a friend request from a man overnight. I don't know him and we don't have mutual friends. I wonder if he is a Disboarder? I would ask if someone sends me a friend request could they also include a comment that says what their disboard name is? That way I will know it's not just some crazy stalker.

Cripes yes they should do that because imagine if some stranger got to read all that we have been sharing with each other in our FB group!

Ms shuttergirl, it might be an idea go back to that post that has your FB name and remove it and those who have quoted it can edit theirs to remove it too, then any Anzac disers can PM you for your name. May just help prevent any random crazy stalkers trying to be your friend, lol and if they have pm'd you you will be expecting them.

 

[battymum]

Maybe you could pm a code word that they have to quote when friend requesting. Not their dis name as anyone can see that.

 

[Ms. Shuttergirl]

Good idea ladies. I've removed my personal details from the earlier comment so people you would need to PM me if you wish to be included.

As mentioned in the other thread, you only need to friend me on FB, not any of the other members of the group. And only the things you say within the group are visible to the other members, they will not be able to access your private Facebook.

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[BecBennett]

you don't judge me, you love hearing about my travel and everyone is so hugely respectful of everyone else's foibles and quirks and idiosyncrasies etc. we're just one giant ball of love and respect on here, and that's really rare in the online world

Oh, we judge! We just aren't vocal about our judgements


I am willing, and happy to join the FB group, but if FB starts being more busy then the board then I will start yelling at people!!

 

[australiankaren]

so how does this facebook thingy work..i have an account..dont use it, i think i have 2 friends...so what is the process??

been off sick this week with the damn flu..AGAIN!....geeze.....

I agree Bec. If it makes the Dis slower we'll spank everyone

so how does this facebook thingy work..i have an account..dont use it, i think i have 2 friends...so what is the process??

I've PM'd you back Karen. Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well, poor luv.

You will have to yell at Ms.Shuttergirl, she started the group

Karen, that's three times in...5 months? I think you need to start taking some vitamins, girl!

Come and join the Facebook group, you'll get even more sympathy over there
