Help and prayer

My Dad helpfully points out that with the Australian dollar hitting new heights it might be time to consider moving back to Australia and driving a taxi instead. That said I would have to support two sets of grandparents too in the style they have become accustomed...it's a line ball decision at the moment. Except I don't think you can blog much from a taxi. Better scrap that idea.

Hong Kong's dollar is tied to the US dollar, whereas my bank in Australia expects me to repay the home loan in Australian dollars. This means that as the Australia dollar becomes more expensive in US dollars, I am getting squeezed. It all hurts. And mortgage rates are expected to rise soon in Australia. And my bank expects the money to be repaid every single month. They are very unreasonable.

Hence my daily morning prayer goes as follows: "Please God, smash the Aussie dollar as low as possible as soon as you can. Amen."

Please repeat the prayer with me daily.

Actually during the late 90's there was a famous NY cabbie that was TRADING INTERNET STOCKS from his cab via wifi laptop set up etc.

So you can blog from a taxi!

If the Aussie dollar keeps getting stronger, why am i not getting any richer?

and regrettably during that time I threw away hgh a lot of material which I could've done something hgh with now. I had a real block around lyrics for buy soma songs I was writing, in particular. And one thing somalogy that really helped to lift me out of that self-damning cheap soma phase was to go into the studio with Phil and online soma make a rap song. Two things about
that: first, buy soma online even though it was a first effort, and we were soma two whiteys who admittedly didn't know as much soma
