Authentic Pandora Jewelry Silver Car Charm with Red and White Cubic Zerconium Tail and Headlight
The story - fair dinkum...  I was sitting at Macdonalds with my sister in-law Kelly and the kids in the playground and I saw this cute convertible drive by.  It caught my attention and on further investigation...  WHAT CAR WAS THAT!!!  It was a Barina.  Anyway - the next week I was checking the classifieds and there she was - just up the road.  Anyway the folks were grey nomading and due back that week and to avoid any issues my demands with the guy (a racing car driver - I forget his name) that it was credit card and I had the car by such a date.  All good great - get the car home all's good....... .........................

UNTIL...................... she doesn't start the next day showing off to my bro! Ohh F! I've been scammed, dad'll luv this.   Bro Skin to the rescue - on the phone hassling the dude - back to the mechanic - new battery and alternator and you know what - she's great!    No scam intended - pure mistake with a wrong battery attaching itself to the bonnet!  Phew..  Now I have a great town car.

kindles and compassion fatigue

I've been asked a little bit about this book - it's a good one for those of us in the field of wildlife rescue.  It really helped me understand some of the things I felt and why I continued to hit my head against brick walls.  It also helped me understand how and why other people coped or reacted the way they did....
Check it out ... Compassion fatigue - in the animal care community

Most Recent Addition - "Captain Phillip" Red Necked Wallaby

This is Phillip - our latest addition, however temporary. He's a Red necked wallaby whos mother was hit by a car close by to me. I am on property that Phillip can simply disapear into when I think he is ready. A few months now. Did you know macropods (which are wallabies, wallaroos and kangaroos) can make 2 sorts of milk at the same time. So if Phils' mum was still alive she'd be feeding him while he was what we'd call "at foot" (out of the pouch keeping up) and feeding a brand new (jelly bean size) joey in the pouch from a differnt mammary gland!!!! Too much info - sorry...
