. . .Ok serious now. .... Im willing to take risks but they have to Calculated. ...

How many of here would love to throw our jobs and do what we wanted. I dont want to look back at 60 and say I wish I had. 20 good yrs left in me. ... However I also have commitments.

Tony, I'm sure that if Sandra and the girls supports it then you will be moving to sunny Nelson. That is unless you were dead keen on doing it on your own?

Wendy, minimum is 500 posts before they allow you to post in G&N. However, you can circumvent that by writing to the mod of G&N and explain that you are keen to contribute to the forum, also citing the fact that you are mature (in age) and outlook. I began posting when I was at 300 posts...

great shot

that beak position is familiar to me (having owned large parrots)
its the "make small hole with tip of beak, poke entire beak into small hole, then open and twist halves of beak to enlarge said hole until object is either in 2 pieces or disintegrates. locate new object... repeat" move

suitable 'objects' include anything paper, cardboard or fabric, including books, letters, upholstery, shoes, bags... etc; as well as rubber, lino, plastic, gib, and thin sheets of wood (see: rest of house)

Due to the 500 post rule. You could apply to have it exempted

The only thing is mum. The mother daughter connection is VERY strong and I would never get between that. However equaly is my dreams.
A lot of life is about compromise. With an impass there is a choice that has to be made. There are no right or wrong answers just 2 choices each with a different path.

I gave up my model photography dream because it was the right choice, I was allowed the freedom to at least try. No one owns me, no one has the right to tell me what I can and cant to and only a fool would try.

Like a bird in a cage if the door is left open so I can get out and flap my wings Im happy. Try closing that door and there will be feathers for miles.
