    Default Brisbane Wood show - I can't go!

    I'm so upset. I can't go to the woodshow. I had $360 saved up, and then we found out that Gem needs an operation on her leg. On the 11th.

    I was so looking forward to meeting you all!

    Go on, you KNOW you want to. You don't have to spend anything except entry and most of us don't charge an introduction fee. You could even arrange a "swap" in the buy/swap/sell to pass a hat for a contribution to your admission fee in exchange for some homemade morning tea. Better than paying exorbitant prices at the food vans. You might even make enough to buy some turny stuff.

    Cheers

    No, really, I'm not asking for anything and I'll not accept anything either. I'll either get there on my own or I'll wait until next year.

    But your offer is really kind and I appreciate it

    Who knows, I might win lotto. Then I'll be able to buy you all a cup of coffee!

    Eliza,
    I live in Birkdale and so I would be able to give you a lift in on my way, if that helps and I would be more than willing to contribute towards your admission or at least the cup of coffee. Considering your contribution to the forums it would be least I could do. PM me if you want a lift.
    I hope everything turns out alright on the 11th.
    There's no such thing as gravity, the world sux!!

    Thanks Wayne. Things are changing.

    I phoned the vet and said that I wasn't happy with the diagnosis, we are going up to talk to him tomorrow. I don't think she needs the operation, at least not yet. It was the younger vet that saw her, and he was under the impression that her patella was out constantly, no matter what I tried to explain. The vet that owns the place phoned me and wants to see her, no charge. I told him that I am sure that her patella is in most of the time, and I'm happy to monitor it.

    I'll see what he says tomorrow.

    i'm sorry to hear that eliza. I really hope the operation goes well.

    Pm me your address and i'll send you a bag of pen blanks i know it's not much but at least you'll get some timber out of it. I promised you a couple of pen blanks of olive so if you're still keen let me know and i'll include those.

    Not trying to entice you (heck, I'm not sure if I'll be making it myself either) but just wanted to say hope the operation goes well and both you and dog recover well.

    The other day I described to my daughter how to find something in the garage by saying "It's right near my big saw". A few minutes later she came back to ask: "Do you mean the black one, the green one, or the blue one?".
