I've found out that my mum has Diabetes. Now, I'm afraid to eat sugary sweets and junk food, which is actually a good thing. The bad thing is that my mum has Diabetes. I'm not giving up on my Diet Coke with Lime, though.

You do realise "diet" coke stimulates appetite I always suspected it and it turns out it does, the government has a "swap it" campaign at the moment and it makes sense why not just use mineral water and lime instead of diet coke?



Their are many "swap it foods" out their like Halva (sesame) the best things with these type of foods is it gives you a fair whack of protein and essential vitamins and mineral's the basic recipe is just sesame /sugar and a couple of other ingredients, though you can get it with chocolate, peanut, etc etc.





Go for the Greek one it tastes better and is more moist than the Arabic ones

b9 you are one of the racists i mentioned that come out of the woodwork. what planet do you live on exactly? aboriginal people not ill thought of? you mean there are not stereotypes of alchololism, child abuse , violent natures, lazyness, petrol sniffing, uncouth, uncivilised people, unwillingness to work or learn, there is not a high amount of deaths in custody, high unemployment rate, high rate of imprisonment, low rate of education among the population? where do you live? another planet i guess. and the anti chinese racist comment you made was repulsive. also you remember the stolen generation and genocide in this country right? i mean it wasn't like it was in the histroy books or anything.

also the anti lebanese/ anti muslim racism is also a load of crap and what ethnicity/race do you think i am exactly? i am lebanese by the way and disgusting people like you are the sort of people that everyone with a brain wishes would shut up and go away. it would make life easier for all of us so please do not "join in". ps i live in the sutherland shire and i know what people think of us here. the cronulla riots happened when i was 14 and that said it all to me and the community. you sound like the sort of people who were there.

I like the music BTW , I think theirs a good deal of truth to what they say thats why so many aussies think it's "crap" the truth hurts huh?

cockney: having a history means you have to watch it but everything in moderation right? i get the paranoia though because my family has a history too. there are also artificial sweeteners and things like the plant stevia/sweet leaf which you can substitute for sugar in things like tea/ tisanes. halva is good but it still has a lot of sugar but that means one bite and you wont want to eat any more. i had no idea it came with chocolate

on topic: racists made me cross today. and im still tired after yesterdays trip to the protest in canberra and my everything hurts from running/ walking at or to it.

im actually glad that it' the minority on both sides that don't like the other side. there is a lot of racism in this country but happily most people are not extreme and won't want to beat you up for being ethnic. thanks for the moral support though. i always take it so personally. i shouldn't after all these years.

The 1st time I ate it I ate it as if it where Tim Tams I think over 100 grams
Now I learnt my lesson 30 or so shall suffice thats my point it's semi healthy so it's quite filling no empty calories!

This could easily be interpreted as a personal attack.

Poor B9 his coping it left right and centre his been accused most rescently of being a sociopath with his talking head analogy now a racist

I'm not sure if his one , though I do think his out of touch that's for sure.

That's strange about diet pop, because I don't seem to have much of an appetite one way or another. I've actually been forcing myself to eat for a year and a half, now. I've been eating just enough to get by. A lot of things have happened to me during those 18 months. Deaths, loses, physical pain and cut hours at my job just to name a few. Another thing that makes me unhappy. My appetite keeps failing me.

i am not racist. i also stay home and mind my own business. i am not interested in australia day. i do not "come out of the woodwork" as you put it.


i have not heard anyone ever say that they look down on aborigines. no one would tolerate anyone saying it either.
i do not know why you classify these things as stereotypes. "stereotype" seems to be a buzz word at the moment. it is true that aborigines are more prone to alcoholism than most other people. i allow that if their land was never invaded, they would never have been exposed to alcohol, but in the outback communities the problem is rife.
i have seen it first hand at alice springs and in walgett and brewarrina etc.
even the aboriginal women say that they are scared out of their wits on the day they get their pensions, because the men run amok. the government has banned alcohol in some places because of the degradation it causes to them. i do not blame aborigines for their inability to handle alcohol. i do not think less of them as people. everyone is equally deserved of a fair chance at life.

well it is what i have heard. apparently most aboriginal girls in outback communities are not virgins by the time they are 10-12. maybe that is propaganda. also, maybe it is their custom to start young, and the white people are imposing their own morals on them. who knows? i never mentioned these things you are talking about. why try to put words in my mouth?
i do not think they are violent except when very drunk.
no one says they are lazy any more. maybe they did 30 years ago, but it would be reprehensible for someone to go on air and say that.

on the other hand, there was part of a town built for aborigines near taree (about 20 km from our property). the houses they were given were well built and had yards, and were clean and airconditioned. they also had a sports center given to them. within a few years, they had all the timber stripped out of them because they were using it for firewood, and they broke holes in their ceiling and roofs so they could have fires inside the houses. the floorboards were burned, and the floor they sat on inside the houses was dirt. all the windows were smashed and their yards no longer had lawns and gardens, but were dust bowls with old wrecked cars in them and dog dropping everywhere. the street signs had all been vandalised and the sports center was also vandalised and was abandoned. often when we drove through there on the way to taree when i was a child, aboriginal kids threw rocks at our car. my father had to speed through the town before it got hit.

but again, white people tried to force their way of live on them, and i guess they do not like to live in the way the white people tried to set them up, so i do not know who is to blame.

it is a fact that aboriginal kids and youths sniff petrol.
you can deny it, but it is true. do you think all the media coverage is falsified? they have to put cages around the bowsers in walget (etc) to protect them at night. it does terrible harm to their bodies and brains. again, i allow that the problem would not exist if no one ever invaded their land.

no one would dare say that on air, and i have not heard anyone say it either. you are painting the picture with exaggerated vividness.

yes there are, but it is because they commit suicide.

but it is true. why do you equate acknowledgment of the truth with "stereotyping"? i am sure there are many aborigines who do not fall into these categories, but very many do. i do not look at them with scorn. i feel sorry that they have such a tough time.



well i take it back. everyone was quite ruthless in the early 1800's i guess. it is naive to think that a place this big would not be invaded by someone eventually. the french, spanish, chinese, dutch etc would have claimed it if the english did not. it is a sad fact that humans had a habit of stealing from weaker peoples in the past with no regard to who they were displacing. i agree that if no one ever invaded australia, then it would be a perfect and peaceful country rather than a country paved with highways and buildings and vehicles that kill wildlife etc. i had no part in the invasion, but i can not go anywhere else because i was born a citizen of this country. even if i did leave, no one else is going to. it would make no difference to the big picture.


i only know what i was told. i do not know what the truth is. what i was told was that the children that were stolen had some white blood in them, and that half casts etc were often killed by their tribe so as to reduce the burden of rearing them. the ones that were stolen were actually rescued as far as i was told. sometimes the tribes also gave them to the whites instead of killing them (i was told). anyway, i should read more about it because i am not sure of my facts. but i did not mention anything negative about aborigines in my post, so i am not sure why you are putting words in my mouth and sentiments into my brain. you seem to be a bit of a zealot actually.


i know that many were killed for very little reason. i heard that early farmers used to shoot them dead if they saw them wandering over "their" land. i heard that if there was a rumour that a white girl was raped by an aborigine and could not describe the attacker, that vigilantes used to ride around indiscriminately killing every black man they could see. i know that the early treatment of aborigines as if they were feral pests is heinous and unconscionable, yet you seem to impute that i deny anything ever happened. i said absolutely nothing to that effect.



if you are not the type that coagulate in violent factions and gangs, then i was not talking about you.
there are lebanese gangs who are very racist against white people who they call "white muthaf*cka's", and they leap at any opportunity to show their superiority. that was the essence of the video i showed.

this post is the last post i will be posting about the matter so i will not be "joining in" any further.



i heard what happened via the media and talk back radio, so my information is not first hand. the version of events that i heard was that some lebanese youths were trying to make passes at some "white" girls on the beach, and the white girls rejected their advances, and then the lebanese men became belligerent telling them that if they dress like sluts (they were in bikinis) then they get treated like sluts, and then a lifeguard tried to intervene and the lebanese men assaulted him viciously. when they returned a few days later, there were some white men with bats or something and they chased them away.

that night, the lebanese men text messaged thousands of other young lebanese men and it went viral, and they were apparently planning to take over the beach and show the whites who is boss. the whites found out and they turned up the next day in their thousands, some armed with baseball bats, to fight with the lebanese. the whites got drunk and stupid and rowdy while they were waiting around and some of them became violent, and when a few car loads of lebanese entered the area, they were set upon, but they were not the ones involved in the planned attack.

i have not heard the lebanese side of the story.

i have never been involved with people like that. i do not hang in crowds, and i do not spit hatred. it was appalling.

Something that made me angry was those thugs in canberra attacking the prime minister and burning OUR aussie flag.

I2 has been broken since this afternoon

Nobody respects any form of life anymore, unless it's perfect.

seemingly snoozing my alarm for an hour, which i have no recollection of , and having to get out the house in 20mins

prolonged lack of sleep

someone getting treated like poop and having lots of stressness upon her

someone asking someone to tell a terrible lie to cover their own back

my hair's frizzy.

Is it legal to burn a flag in Ozzieland?

Not having someone to talk to when I need it, people not answering calls, sort of becoming invisible to the world, being busy and going out with people, yet feeling so bored and isolated.

Not being able to enjoy the things that I used to enjoy.
