For a while I have tried to find a thread I had started when I joined the forum that could be a "home" thread for me.
Being busy about the forum has been a coping style, where I can acknowledge all my different life experiences that had been silenced. Possibly do some good and prevent things from getting worse. Like the little boy with the finger in the dyke.

I have never been there, but Uncle Lou was/is a yank and had.
I was a bit ashamed of our scrawny bush, cos my rellies did not appreciate it, (apart from father) but we have tall giants here too.
I did take my baby sister on a bicycle holiday out Bruthen/Bairnsdale way. It was lovely coasting downhill for miles ....
