Now now John, you know the friendship hasn't ended. I'm just not 'round much anymore. If you asked me right now, I'd say my year has sucked so far...but that's coz I have the flu and I'm hating it.
I love the fact that all you folks complain about taxes...try having no water...and I mean no water. Around 60 days left on average for our major cities. I just giggle, I have tank water only, so I dont have to worry just yet. And seriously, if you want cheap living...come visit Australia. Everything other than fuel and fast foods is cheaper in comparison. And there are heaps of jobs...
Oi...I'm rambling. NY scares me...in fact in general the Americas scare me...Good luck darlin'.
