Watching mrs bambu trying to drink the colonoscopy prep stuff, I decided that was nearly a fate worse than death.
I have no money to pay specialists, we had to basically beg mrs bambu's specialist to "bulk bill" (bill the govt 100%, he accepting less than he would if we had to pay his usual fee.)
Because she has diabetes he was able to operate on her "immediately" in a public hospital, and he accepted the govt Medicare rebate as full payment.
There is about a 12 month waiting list in public hospitals...and you usually can't have the doctor of your choice
We had to give up/stop paying private health insurance, too expensive, unaffordable.
We're not the only ones.
I just spent our last $10 at the supermarket.
No more credit available, no savings, well a total of about $2 of cents in several bank accounts. Credit cards debt. Got credit left at the vet for our lovely dog.
Life insurance policies payments keep increasing as you get closer to 85.
Die after 85 you get nothing.
Ideally I will die before 85 so mrs bambu can collect the insurance money and live happily and comfortably.

Moral of my story is to make sure you go into retirement with no debt and plenty of cash in the bank, and somewhere to live that you own. An apartment, or house/cabin/etc where you own the land.
Reportedly, investors are buying the land, or already own the land that some mobile homes, prefab homes are on and are increasing the rents, causing some owners of the homes financial stress.

One experienced van life older man has just bought some cheap land in *remote* America...but still within close proximity to a town.
I'd call the land 'desert'.
Somehere to park his van permanently, have a fixed/postal etc address.
He has built a largish carport type structure out ot timber and tarps.
Shelter from the sun and rain.
Fixed BBQ to use as a kitchen, sleeps in the van, uses solar panels for power.
The main thing is he owns it.

Your nurse needs to up the Thorazine in your vegemite. You are blowing a gasket, mate. You leak foolishness at an alarming rate.

Are you calling retired British army general Barrish foolish?
He might have a baby face, but there's nothing infantile is his words of warning.

Yeah.

He is getting a solid check for a few minutes of speculation so he is not nearly as as big a fool as any member of the sky news audience.

Yes, Flavor Aid powder, leftover from Jonestown, seems more your libation.  (Flavor Aid was the cheap version of Koolaid, back in the day, and the Rev. Jones was always thrifty.  Some press outlets misreported it as Koolaid, and so the modern catchphrase has perpetuated the mistake)

Antisemitism is out of control in Australia.
Someting serious should be done about stopping it.
*Nothing* is.
An elderly Jewish lady was shoved around...assaulted if you like...on her way to a "Antisemitism rally the other day.
Shoved around by you know who.
Jews in Australia should form the "AJDM"...Australian Jewish Defence Militia"...and start fighting back against you know who...legally of course.
Muscle, serious muscle security in special uniforms based throughout cities, ready to arrive at a moments notice to protect their people.
Not enough muscle locally...import some.
Part of the fightback militia, a bank of lawyers.

You love any fight you are not in, you racist sadistic bastard.

Go beat yourself senseless and learn something from the experience before you post here again, please.

Red is dumb as a smeared shitstain and is always wrong so without looking it up I am going to believe Oiled on this one.

Flavor Aid it is.

Sky News Australia:

Sydney...

"Disturbing Hamas-themed kids' birthday".

Complete with photos shown on my tv screen.
Hamas cupcakes.
All with the Palestinian flag.

#####

Disturbing indeed
Don't expect anyone to do anything about it though.
You'd have to wonder where Child services are.

Bambu, people are more important than money, you are more important than money. Money is just a tool to help you to enjoy life more and to help people. You need friends, and rich neighbors who will loan you money. My best friend Tom used to run out of money every month, and I used to loan him money for the essentials like food and toilet paper to get him through the month. Then later he found a check cashing place, you give them a post-dated check and they hold the check until the first of the next month and then they cash it, so you can get the money now and they cash your check on the 1st, Vince Faragamo from the Rams football team was a part owner of the check-cashing business. And my friend Lisa was wealthy from Bananas in the Philippines. Lisa would loan me money anytime. You need to have friends. If you were my neighbor I would loan you money to get through the month. If you become desperate then please go to a Catholic Church and ask the Priest for help. You are far more valuable than money.

Salute,

I lived in a Winnebago motor home for 1 year in the Desert of Lancaster, California, I owned my motor home, and I lived in an RV park for $300 per month, next to a 7-Eleven 24 hour convenience store, with 3 barbecue grills and out-door furniture. We lived like we were on vacation at the Leo Carrillo Campground in Malibu. But, some of the people were dangerous. I tried to make friends with the community, and I cooked for everyone and fed everyone and made margaritas for everyone and bought beer, etc. I could not be friends with the neighbors because some of them were bad people, so I spent time on the world wide web on my computer.

It is better to live in a nice house in Anaheim with roommates instead of a motor home in the desert. But, one can survive in a motor home in the desert.

Battle Mountain, Nevada, also has an RV park where people can park their motor homes, and they can get a job at the Colt casino.

The secret to being happy is attitude, and that goes with no matter where you live. And when I was a cook at the Colt in Battle Mountain then we had a head chef who was a retired chef from Beverly Hills, so we had Beverly Hills quality dining in Battle Mountain Nevada at the Colt. We brought the atmosphere of fine dining from Beverly Hills to a casino in Battle Mountain. We still had cheap pancakes and stuff, but we also had prime rib, and buffalo steaks, and scallops, and he used to make expensive stuffed chicken breasts, etc, we had great food.

Of note, get a spot at an RV park that has security guards. You want 24 hour security at an RV park, and even the campground at Leo Carrillo in Malibu has 24 hour security.

I am grateful for a nice apartment in Anaheim with a swimming pool, and we have tennis courts down the street at Pearson Park, and we have good markets, and nice restaurants, I just need a good wife, and I need to get my movie made that I wrote and I need to get my poetry book published, etc.

Anyhow, Bambu, I have lived in a motor home in the desert, and it is all about attitude, one can still be festive. And I rode the train to Hollywood to go to show business parties, etc.

And remember, people are more important than money, money is just a tool to help us to live better. And if you are ever desperate, then please go to a Catholic Church and ask the Priest for help. If you were here in Anaheim then people would help you, there are lots of good people here.

Salute,

Nothing like a Hamas-styled birthday for the kiddies, in Sydney.
All documented by Sky News in chapter, verse, and pictures.
The Hamas killer terrorists pictured were very scary, enough to make sane people rush out and buy guns/more guns.
Hamas terrorists and their supporters are clearly taking over the middle east and Australia...one birthday party, one propaganda video, one horror attack after another.
Yes, evil is flourishing while good men are doing *nothing* (well, except Israel)...just standing idly by and watching on.

Some Council Members here in Anaheim have been trying to start a "Little Arabia" here on Brookhurst, but what they do not understand is that the average home in Anaheim costs $1 million. Anaheim is not a good place for poor refugees, as the homes are expensive. The Arabs would be better off in Victoria, British Columbia, where it is cheap, and where they can do forestry work to survive. California is very expensive. My family started in New York 200 years ago, we did not just start out in California, California is for the rich people, like New York and Florida. For the poor people then there is Minnesota, and Iowa, and Nebraska, where it does not cost $1 million for the average home like here in Anaheim. You get rich, then you come to California, they need to start out some place cheaper like Mississippi, or someplace. The Arabs cannot just start at the top, they need to start at the bottom and then work their way up to the top, and then they will appreciate their hard earned success and they will understand the beauty of America.

And how did we end up with 1 million Persians in Los Angeles, and in Beverly Hills? Beverly Hills is the best spot in the USA to live, along with Malibu, how did they start at the top instead of starting at the bottom in Michigan or someplace? You cannot start at the top, and especially if they want aid and welfare, you cannot come to America and live in luxury on welfare in our best locations, they need to go someplace cheaper like Mississippi. Or they can go to Victoria, British Columbia.

The refugees need to start at the bottom, someplace cheap, and then they can work hard and rise and then they can move to a nicer place when they earn it. They must not be able to come from Iran and go straight to Beverly Hills, that is bullshit, my family has been in the USA for hundreds of years and I do not get to live in Beverly Hills, I cannot afford to live in Beverly Hills, how the hell can 1 million Persians be able to afford to live in Beverly Hills?

And now they want to have a "Little Arabia" here in Anaheim, where the average house costs $1 million, fuck that, they can go have their "Little Arabia" in Mississippi, or in Canada or someplace. You cannot come here and start at the very top in luxury, you need to pay your dues at the bottom when you come here.

If I have to start at the bottom, then so can everyone else. It is only fair. They can start at the bottom and work hard to rise to the top. And then they will appreciate what they worked hard to achieve.

Salute,

Tony V.

I'm in the fight. First they came for the Jews in Australia, my backyard...shoving them around, abusing them to the stage that they are *frightened*, have never seen antisemitism so bad in eight generations in Australia one Jewish lady said.
When they've finished with the Jews, who's next?  Christians is my guess. So best to stop them now.

Anyway, we have a nice little paradise down here, and we don't like any people doing things that might harm it.
Any people. no matter who they are.
It's not the Jews in Australia causing trouble, it's others. So the others must be stopped.

[facilitatorn]

Deranged old white men should be stopped for starters. You should get on that asap.
