looks like a blast to do!

Not trying to take away from your post mate.
Yes, we do remember them, that's why we stood in rain, that cold morning. Throughout the dawn service.


Now, My random question.

The world has become a strange place.
These days you can choose the sex of your baby before the egg is fertilised and conceived.
So What happens years down the track. Your child decides it's not happy being that sex that you've chosen?
Does it sue you and can you get your money back?

You don't use magic to disappear, ya use a 4x4 & Swag.

Be a bit hard before fertilisation, or conception, because that's when the babies sex is determined. Ovum has X chromosome, sperm has either X or Y chromosome. If a X sperm fertiises the ovum, then the baby is most likely to have XX chromosome, and be a girl. If the sperm has a Y chromosome, then baby will most likely have a XY chromosome and be a boy. Buttttttt... the baby can also have other combinations of chromosomes that happen during cell division, and that's where gender ambiguity can come into play.

And it's not really choosing the sex of the embryo, but rather choosing the embryo you keep, and discarding the rest.

I do know when I do need to have the knee replacement, my current work will cease. Office environment won't suit this tradie, I'm too vocal  so it'll be a forced early retirement
But what makes me smile is when

Same too young for retirement,
Mate, I've been waiting over 3 years, Public system for this.
It will be 8 weeks out of work, that's why I'm regearing my business and starting to bring in contractors I can trust & rely on to perform the standard of work I expect from myself.
Still going to be a drop in income, but hopefully I have set things up right.
This plays heavily on Fysh's mind, a drop in income, and not being able to drive, she'll need to spend time away from her work, which she doesn't have banked time off for, due to only starting her new job a few months ago just before Christmas.

I'll looking forward to being pain free, which I'm happy to deal with, for the lack of income

Jeez, what'd you do to it

I thought tearing the cartilage on my left knee 3 times was bad enough!

2 knee recos. 1st was when I was 16. Hit by a car at the age of 13. Last operation they had to remove a large chunk of cartilage. 30mm long, 15mm wide, 8mm thick. It locked my knee in a bent state and couldn't straighten it. Was limping around site for 3 days, till I decided to go to Moree hospital the next day for an xray. Once I'd seen the xray image, and got the you can't drive message, (wasn't my first rodeo driving, but a hella drive) I had a bigger problem, how do I get my work trailer and get home when the site was on
black soil and had been raining. After deflating the tyres and a lot of right foot , I was on my way home. Fueling up when needed too. Was glad to be home in the end. Few rum cans and some good meds works wonders.
Then the next problem came, my surgeon had retired a few years beforehand. Bugger. New surgeon from within the same group. Melbourne Orthopaedic Group. Month later and 10k poorer and 1 month recovery, the longest ever, was given the green light to work again.
Normally that type of surgery I'm walking the next day, I've had plenty of them.
But what's weird is that the knee doesn't feel like it has in the past, I can lift my heal off the ground when laying flat. Something I've never done since the accident.
