Greek celebrities love using Twitter, many a celeb will update their status with what they're doing, what they want to be doing or making a statement they'd like to be heard.
It seems to be a growing trend, everyone is doing it. Pity Twitter still seems a bit beyond me, it just doesn't seem as easy as Facebook or maybe that's because I don't know enough about Twitter.
Maybe I should take lessons from a Greek celeb or two!
Not that Australians don't already pay a huge amount of taxes compared to other nations, there's also a new flood levy to pay for rebuilding after the Queensland floods. While we're at it, why don't taxpayers pay for other natural disasters too, why leave it at floods?
A natural disaster strikes so naturally the taxpayers have to pay for it. Meanwhile Julia Gillard is getting a salary raise and Australians are still battling the rising cost of living with the same salary they were getting ten years ago along with a flood levy to make tax season even better.
Give tax payers a break Australian Government, take the funds out of your overblown salaries, not the hard-earned cash of citizens!
Julia Gillard has finally made one right move and is talking about introducing new rules in relation to welfare payments to young mums. About time someone thought about the taxpayers funding irresponsible teens and their babies!
There are 1100 teenage mothers in Queensland at the moment, 80% of which have not finished school and only 8% working. What about the other 92%, sitting back receiving welfare payments while taxpayers fund them from their hard-earned dollars?
I may have a hard view of teenage mothers but society has become too accepting of irresponsibility and that's what it is, it's irresponsible to have kids before you're grown up yourself and can support not only yourself but a child.
Under the plan, teenagers would have to go back to work or study after their child is 6 months old or face their welfare payments being cut.
About time Julia Gillard did something worthwhile!
I am getting my Irish on in preparation for St Patrick's Day and what better way than to watch an Irish dance show. No, I'm not talking about Riverdance, but a show named Dancing on Dangerous Ground. At its helm, world famous Irish dancers, previously the lead dancers in Riverdance, Jean Butler and Colin Dunne. Two superb dancers and they showcase their talent in Dancing on Dangerous Ground, where the ground is anything but dangerous. Unfortunately the show played in London and New York before financial difficulties shut it down, though I can't see why, this brilliant show deserved a much longer life than it got

The hot new couple that have hit the Greek tabloids over the last couple of months. Are they or aren't they? The reports have been going wild, even wondering when the wedding will be despite the fact that Zeta Makrypoulia and Michalis Hatzigiannis have been dating a very short time, if they are in fact together. If I see it in their own words, then I'll believe it. Not that there aren't some very interesting paparazzi photos that tend to indicate the two are very much together.
I will say though, finally, a couple that seems to make some sense. If I see one more young and could do better Greek celeb marry an old fogey I will scream. I don't know how it happens and hope it has to do with love and not money but at least this coupling makes sense. Two good looking people, same age group, both talented and working in their own industries. They would definitely have good-looking babies!
The disasters around the state of Queensland have been literally one right after the other. Never have I seen a state so submerged in water and the disaster zone so widespread. Queenslanders will come out of this though with the same spirit, and the amount of people that have been helping those who have lost their homes and businesses is astounding. We will rebuild and our spirit will remain positive, with that Queensland sense of humour intact despite the horrific events that have taken us from 2010 to 2011!
The sense of comradeship and those helping others they had never met before, yet united in the recovery effort, instills a sense of pride in one's people and the knowledge that nothing can deter kindness and hard work in a disaster.
The new season has started, there are some changes and some television personalities still waiting for a chance to enter into this season.
Eleni Menegaki is back and better than ever in the morning timeslot, she knows exactly how to keep her loyal fans and gain new ones and doesn't use her current personal issues to get ahead

There's a story on the local news today about two sisters dying while they were riding on the bonnet of a car. Where will common sense enter into people's minds? A completely preventable accident fuelled by stupidity. How horrible for their families, that these two women did not think about their actions. When the 18 year old girl fell off the bonnet, her 30 year old sister went to help, being hit by another car in the process. I don't mean to be insensitive but doesn't a 30 year old at least have more sense than to be doing what she did, riding on the bonnet of a moving vehicle? The 30 year old woman's two children were in the car and clearly would have witnessed what happened, what a shocking event for two young children to comprehend, particularly when they're older and realise just how preventable it was.
The drivers of both vehicles have been charged, which is somewhat surprising, considering that the other driver had no involvement other than striking the woman when she ran to help her sister. Ovbiously he caused a death but the surrounding circumstances of the accident should also be considered. I wonder if he will get the same or similar punishment to the 16 year old driver of the car the women were travelling on

What a sad story this has been and as each day goes by I think it seems clear she won't be found alive. My heart goes out to her family...except for the mother and stepfather, I don't believe the fake tears or statements of innocence. If they are the only ones who have seen Kiesha for weeks then it follows that they know more than they are saying.
Allegations have been made against them and vehemently denied, but the question remains, and the police are right to question the parents and search their house, something has happened to that poor little girl, only that can explain this now almost 2 week disappearance. Whether there is a family involvement or not, it is under investigation and while the public may try to not pass judgment or entertain thoughts that her mother and step-father are involved, it's hard not to, when so many questions remain about her disappearance.
I've followed the reports of Eleni Menegaki having a new squeeze after separating from her husband with interest. Personally I think the Greek media has been making a big deal out of nothing but if it is confirmed at some point, it will be a field day for them for sure!

on Dizziness diagnosed
A Word From The Wise
Celebwise
Thanks for visiting True1. It did feel a bit like that at times. I think it was the balance tests combined with the MRI which led to the diagnosis. MdDS doesn't have a test which diagnoses it, it's a diagnosis of elimination. The tests eliminated any other causes and the neurologist diagnosed MdDs after checking my results and questioning me a bit more about the history already on my file.
Thanks for the information sam. That's very interesting. I found Serc useful, but Stemetil not and I am hoping Stugeron works but it is a bit of trial and error thing with medication for dizziness issues. I didn't respond to Stemetil, so they tried me on Serc, which did help me at times. Now Stugeron, I hope it doesn't have any strange side effects! I can only try it and see. Thanks for your wishes, I hope so too!
