If she's the legislative branch then that should make you the executive.

I expect Mrs wpt is, like some spouses that some of us have known, very much in the business of the judicial branch - declaring the common law, after the event, when wpt finds - to his surprise and chagrin - that he had no idea that's what the law was.

Ignorance of spouse-declared law is, of course, no defence.

I'm sure we're going to enjoy watching TV (as we do now)

Less gadgets because we basically had a monitor before ( a commercial panel) that needed a whole lot of things to make it a TV.

We're going from Plasma to LCD but pretty decent LCD at that (it would want to be)

This is for the looming NBN.

TP does the Telsta TV box stream live HD footy for free once you've signed up to Telstra?

Oldest was given a car that she now has for her work from her annual review (Tuscon)

Youngest has been invited to the "High Academic Achievers Program" in recognition of her results.

I've been given the bums rush at work: can't have leave till August FFS & Mrs WPT who's meant to be slowing down is working far too hard.

Down to 101 kg and still cycling. Still doing the Banting Keto diet. Easy peasy these days.

Boy at work: there is so much f*cking methamphetamine about, everyday I'm seeing drug related psychosis :roll: :evil: :(

But does the psychosis last beyond the time the meth is in the body?

Some people yes, some people no. The more one uses the more likely it is to increase the chances of going from temporary to a more pervasive / enduring form of psychosis: this does not factor in the damage and cost consequences to the individual, their families and society. How much money does it cost for 000 services, ambulance, police, emergency departments, doctors, drugs, nurses, mental health clinicians etc ( same applies to alcohol) .....

No, they're desperate for staff. That's why they can't give me leave: I'll have 16 weeks LSL and about 6 weeks if not more A/L by then. Although at times (when I'm tired and don't have enought leave) I can be a cranky old bastard at work, people with my experience are valuable commodities: I know how to discharge and I'm thorough. Too many (non nurses) admit everyone and many don't need admission at all. A lot of people know how to feign symptoms and over the years you begin to develop a good bullshit detector. Also when your experienced enough you can be clear and striaght up when others in the ED who under pressure can fluff around and not make a decision ( a lot of young nurses), placing themselves and others at risk.

In two months we might not be able to staff the police for a month because we are so short staffed.
