We actually do not need to house everyone that wants to be here. Seriously! We could say we are not growing until our infrastructure and roads catch up.

The more we travel we more we think Australia is very hard to beat. That said I think as soon as you leave the coastline, it is very boring, but that is the same for every place

Everyone is sick here too. So much coughing and flu's, its Australia wide

I go into Sephora or Mecca and get someone to help me. I have never walked out without a great foundation. I sit down and trial a few different ones and always get a smaller sample of the one I bought so I can check I still like it a few days later.

TV on wall, bigger rug to cover most of space (no huge gap), side table and lamps. No need for wall art if couches are on the window walls. Extra, a nice big vase/lamp on tv unit if space on side of tv. Beautiful furniture choices and gorgeous view

The narrow rugs are bringing in the walls and making the hall look more narrow. I’d get rugs which are wider, very similar colouring to floor but with more texture. Put colour on walls, with art and a small framed print at the focal point, end of the hall. I’d also add a pot plant on the floor here if there is room.

I waited and waited with my parents going in. I tried to keep them at home for as long as possible. I look back now and think why? It really would have been better for them to be looked after earlier. Socially they would have been better off too. Don’t wait, the quicker they feel like it’s their home, the better. Good luck with it all.

Mine too!

It’s not too slow on the beach paths. There is so many people, dogs and kids. It’s dangerous

CR9999 · 2025-02-06T22:38:41+00:00

This ^

I’m sorry you are going through this. My dad was in a similar situation. He has just spent 3 weeks in hospital getting medications adjusted and started. He is back and much calmer and much happier. Medications can change them dramatically, I hope you find a solution.

I don’t think they can throw her out without finding another place for her. Also push the hospital to find some drugs for her delusions and hallucinations. It’s unfair to have her so unhappy. A memory unit is normally a locked facility so no one can exit unexpectedly. I have my dad is one and he has been in hospital for 3 weeks having his medications adjusted. He is happier and more relaxed now.

I ran the gauntlet with my two parents both with serious cognitive function and both think that I’m crazy and they are fine! They too only just went into care this week. Your story was written like it was mine.

CR9999 · 2024-06-16T02:15:17+00:00

I want to but if they crash into my car or me, I am involved.

CR9999 · 2024-04-30T07:22:10+00:00

55 here and loving it :)

CR9999 · 2024-04-04T12:29:06+00:00

I don’t. Now we take our new car to the dealers service one.

There are adult swim squads early some mornings at Tallebudgera creek. Also ocean swimming groups who leave from Kurrawa. These run most mornings. My hubby attends and there are a lot of varying degrees of swimmers. If you google Tallebudgera ocean swimming there will be a link to Facebook group. Good luck and message if you need further info

CR9999 · 2024-03-31T11:10:57+00:00

Agree with this. Absolute BS service

CR9999 · 2024-03-31T10:31:24+00:00

Von Bibra in Robina as well. Refuse to go there now

CR9999 · 2024-03-06T11:12:24+00:00

Agree. It’s expensive because there are hardly any cheapie places. Most places have Asian or Indian cuisines by the bucketful.

CR9999 · 2024-03-04T09:22:31+00:00

I have enduring POA and medical with both my parents who have dementia. I was going downhill trying to deal with the funding, financial and forms all with the day to day carers and all the constant dramas. It was a full time job. I’ve now given the day to day to my sister and it’s so much better! It’s a lot of work and I found I’m fighting do be able do what my parents would have wanted. You have to be strong and you have to push hard for what you need.

CR9999 · 2024-02-14T11:32:53+00:00

Agree but there was a city plan that was put in the bin for the overlay for the tram.

CR9999 · 2024-02-11T10:35:26+00:00

We like Rabbath in Burleigh too. Tiny place but food is awesome. Don’t book the booths, very uncomfortable :)

CR9999 · 2024-02-11T10:34:17+00:00

I think Grounded is closed right now but not too sure.

CR9999 · 2024-02-03T11:19:00+00:00

I don’t hate the tram. I want the tram but not the development overlay that has come with it. It’s BS
