Today is Pink Ribbon day, which is a, if not the, major fundraising day for Breast Cancer Research. 1 in 9 women will be diagnosed with this disease before they turn 85, which is a pretty scary number. It also doesn't just affect women over 50, it won't discriminate. So, if you can, please go...

I'm sure there are multiple threads on this, but because I'm the centre of the universe I'm making my own. I have to go to a 21st on Friday night for my flatmates brother. He's like my little brother, but he comes from one of those wog families where you net $10k at your 18th. Aside from...

Oh. Sweet. ****. THE PAIN!!! Admittedly, I am using a pair of nail scissors and a pair of normal scissors to crack these mongrels off, but jesus me. Don't ever get acrylic nails for the removal process alone. Me and my brilliant idea to learn the cello...

No, this isn't a rant thread, I want help from you guys! As you all obviously know, I have been working in mental health, and in particular child and adolescent psychiatry has been my home. My real area of interest is the personality disorder and the liar, and in children it's all early onset...

Ok, so I'm at the Gold Coast today, and in my usual fashion I hadn't eaten anything so I decide to have a caffeine fix. I get to the end of the line and I hear 'That'll be $7 thanks' $7. WTF. It wasn't even that good. Please tell me someone else out there has paid more than that, or else...

I have a very serious question to ask here...do any of you know what this means??? *tahlia, please don't kill me lol*

as a self proclaimed crash dieter, i figure i may as well keep a daily update on what can only assume is going to be one hungry and pissed off week of my life... if any of you have also done this, feel free to pipe up. so far today, i've read over everything, and i have come to realise that...

Fmd, I don't know how much more of this I can take. My old man's losing it. He wants to come out to the pub with us tomorrow night, just so he can ty and relive his 20's (which, he didn't really have...3 kids before 30 will do that to you). I figure I'm just gonna have to buy a crash helmet...

is there anything more disgusting than this act? i was recently spat on (again...how many times it's happened i have no idea), and i took it to the next level and spat back. i now realise i'm on the same level as a psych patient lol. because of spitting, i had to be tested for communicable...

ok girls, i'll admit, i'm a massive fan. there's this great shop up here in brisbane that makes all their gear on the gold coast, and they only sell corsets. they may not be cheap, but i'm not sure if there's anything hotter. i currently own 3, but i think that once i hit 10 i may need to be...

i got to thinking, perhaps i've got too much of a passion for the white knuckle sports. how i haven't killed myself is beyond me. any of you guys got into any of the extreme stuff? i absolutely love it, and i guess that pretty much just shows my lack of self preservation. i have to say...

ok girls, what's your take on it? do you think it's worth it, would you ever have it done, etc? i'm currently considering botox, blepharopasty (eyelid surgery), and potentially even lipo. before i get shot down in flames for wanting botox, i've been smoking since i was 13, combined with...

Ok folks... I need your honest opinion of a wonderful little place known as Canberra. There's a pretty good chance I'll be moving there next year, and I need to know if I should be changing my career choice ASAP lol. Fire away

Oh god, easily the scariest 6 words i will ever say. Yes, it's mighty unfortunate, but it's looking as though I have to move back in with my parents. In just over 2 weeks. Is it really that bad living with your folks?? For those of you who've had to move back in, was it really that bad...

Oh the irony of this thread...a nurse who crash dieted and ended up in hospital lol... Ok, so yes I've been crash dieting for close to probably 6 months, and I've lost close to 20kg. Yeah, I thought I was invincible. Last week I developed a sore throat, and thought nothing of it. My immune...

Ok guys, for any tips, and places to visit, put them here. Reason I've made this thread is because I booked flights to Japan tonight. In my sick state, I didn't actually think about what I'm actually going to do there for a whole week. Anyone who's been, give me some ideas...my trip...

Oh my God, if there's ever a movie I have been excited for, it's this one. Yes, I made my Nonna get this movie out from the video shop every week as a kid, so it's fair to say this is my favourite movie ever. This is due for release in 2010, and it should be great! Johnny Depp as the...

Would just like to thank everyone who passed on their wellwishes when I announced the other half had cancer. In a cruel twist of fate, he developed a DVT, and ended up with a Pulmonary Embolus. At 1.28pm this afternoon, he passed away. You never expect this to happen, nor do you expect to...

Could any better an ad have been made? Best ringtone I've ever had on any phone. My mum is appalled that my phones screams 'I'm a tits and ass man' everytime I get a call. To top it off, my phone went off about 20 minutes before I went into court yesterday, and it's always nice to watch a...

Ok, it's all seriously starting to freak me out. So anyway, I managed to pick up a stray while working at the hospital, and it so just turns out that the man is not only rather attractive, an ICU doctor, French/South African and a total blueblood. At this stage, I will be moving to Paris with...

ok ok, before anyone says 'but that's what you do for a job', i am well aware of what i do. here's a little insight into what i do in 12 hours a day... - get told i'm a ****, ****head, ********, moron, etc. this i can deal with. - restrain aggressive and violent patients across 4 floors of...

I swear my brother takes the cake for today's 'tattoo for no real reason'. Not only is he 17, but he got the words 'ltalian stallion' in black cursive inscribed on his ass. Good to see kids are still getting stupid **** tattooed on their ass to hide from their parents. Lol it's only...

No I am not following in the footsteps of Xeno, but you could perhaps accuse me of chucking a Soliola. I do not have a restaurant, but I do have a job that means I will be training, writing, researching and travelling all over the world. When I'm in Brisbane, I will be working at the hospital...

Alright, I've had a complete and utter ****ing gutful of whingers. If one more patient says to me 'Doctors and nurses should be doing more' I swear to god I'm going to use a difibrilator on when while they're totally concious, charge it to full voltage, and inflict the most pain on them humanly...
