  7. Hey Landy, I've recently been through a similar experience, although not married we had been living together for 2 years and the only difference was there were no ring on the finger otherwise we were like a married couple. Long story short I arrived back home one evening after being away for the weekend and all my things were packed, I didn't even make it out the kitchen. There had been absolutely no warning and the reasons I was given were that we don't like the same TV programs and that I was not good enough at 30 seconds to name a few. Now this was the girl I was set to marry and it broke me big time. Things were amicable at first and we chatted and certain thing came to the fore that made me realize that she had not been completely open and honest but we agreed to to stay friends as we were before our relationship. I gave her space and accommodated all her requests but as we lived in a complex and I had some very good friends there and now was living in the complex next door with my mum who has Cancer she would see me there from time to time. Well this is when things started getting nasty, she was back together with her Ex 6 weeks later. Now because I was popping into the complex every now and then to see her neighbors who were like surrogate grandparent to me (I am very good friends with their son) and I was still helping rebuild the complex dam and helping out other friends. I got accused of supposedly losing the plot and going psychopath stalker and hacking into her Bank, Email and Phone accounts. Well I got completely blocked on all social media and so did all my friends and family thus 2 years of my life diapered overnight on FB. I also learn't the other day when I confronted her about an outstanding financial issue that she viewed as a gift and that if I don't like it I can speak to her lawyer. This from someone who said after the breakup that they wanted to remain good friends and would always be there for me. Rant over: Now to your comment of being alone and the harsh words. People show there true colours when the chips are down and if not now it would have come up later. Remain true to yourself and do as to others as you would like to be done unto you. Words are just that words so let them be water off a ducks back, people show emotion and process things differently and her comment with regards to your sad face shows she's also hurting. So be amicable and try not to add to the hurt but at the end of the day you need to put yourself first (financial dealings included). See this as and opportunity to do things you would not have normally done, see new things, meet new people and live life as you only have one. I sort of did the Yes Man movie thing (don't say no to opportunities that come your way) and it's helped hugely. I have also come to realize that sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees, like a race horse with blinkers on and until you break out and realize there's more to life and what you had in my case was false and constricting, you can't move on. Time, space and talking do wonders for healing and moving on but it also helps if you can full that hole left behind with other good people/experiences. A few daily reminders: Being grateful for what you have because no matter how bad you think it is someone else has it worse off.Always take a positive out of a situation (lessons learn't, experience, etc)When one door closes another opens.There are a lot of good people out there, you just need to meet them.I wish you all the best for the future and keep your chin up.
  8. Some advise from the wood Guru's out there. I have a Balau deck that gets wet almost daily (early morning due) and about 10 hours of direct sun with it being quite harsh in summer. After a good sand and clean what would be the best product to use and how many coats would be required in order to the best long term protection? Thanks in advance.

A rider stopped and 'Macgyved' a temporary fix wrapping a space blanket around the broken skewer/axle and jamming it in....

  13. was at 89k on Saturday.
  14. I too had one a very long time ago. He was like an attack dog when in his cage and beware anyone who stuck a finger through the bars, the little bugger would draw blood. But once out the cage he would be completely calm. This little guy was an escape artist of note and early one morning when on my way out for a ride I noticed that the top of the cage was open the he was nowhere to be found. Now the cage lived on top of the kitchen counter right at the end in the corner next to the back door. So the only options were he was on the kitchen floor somewhere, the dogs had got him or he was still on the counter. Floor was ruled out and dogs where still asleep so there was hope, I started along the counter past the frying pan, snackwich maker, toaster, stove and still nothing. There was a small ledge running behind the breakfast nook that joined the two counters and then there on the other side in the fruit bowl happily munching his way into a Paw Paw was the little bugger. To this day I still can't figure out how he made it all the way around the kitchen and into the fruit bowl which was about 4 times his height.
