Greetings from Melbourne, Australia!

[RememberHisTime]

Hello Reese! Big Beatles fan here too--went to see Rain (the Beatles tribute band) this past winter with my mom and husband, and my mom just saw Ringo in concert! Sooo jealous.

I'm an expat, too! Isn't it a fun adventure?

See you around on the forums  :icon_e_biggrin:

Welcome Reese in our Hoax Family !!!  :compute: :icon_razz:

Hi Reese (aka JohnLennon).  Welcome to brrrrr cold Melbourne...Well you did come in our peek winter time.  Have you been told about our four seasons in one day yet???

Well, Melbourne truly lives up to that.  My advice from someone that has lived here all my life, dress in four layers... lol.  And bring an umbrella, just in case.

What made you move here from the USA ??  I'm from Preston in Melbourne.  Have been investigating from the beginning,  (although not always active with replies) and am really hoping there will be an end soon.!!

Welcome to the family.  We are a pretty friendly bunch of insane people, who work through all hours of the night to find that "ONE THING".  The proof that MJ is alive but there
is so many different layers and dots to connect, that eventually you will need a straightjacket...I'm sure one of us will be happy to lend you ours !!  So if you're prepared for a challenge, then we welcome you...New ideas and thoughts are more than welcomed.  Look forward to reading your posts...Cheers

Thanks again everyone

@RememberHisTime: I also went to see Rain this past winter in Philadelphia, PA where I used to live and boy did I have a good time being an expat is really exciting, I love being able to see new places and learn new things other than what I am accustomed to. I am soooooooooooooo jealous of your mom I bet Ringo put on a great show!

@2good2btrue: I have heard about the four seasons in one and I believe I have experienced it after only being here for almost a month lol I am actually living in Vermont, Victoria right outside of Melbourne. I moved here for work and to further my schooling as a RN, I brought along my four year old son and hubby and we all just love it here, it's really a breath of fresh air.
I also have been investigating from the beginning but I took a much needed break because it was starting to consume my life and I started to fall into a deep depression (I know it sounds silly but MJ has been a part of my life since I was a child). I hope there is an end in sight and this can be over with and we can have our king back

Welcome JohnLennon, I'm looking forward to getting to know you here!
I hope you settle in nicely in your new country, and wish your young family much success!!

Hello again Reese! I saw Rain in Hershey, PA--so either right before or right after the show in Philly! That's almost serendipitous.

My mom said that Ringo looked really good for his age, had a lot of energy, and genuinely enjoyed performing music. I'm sure he's not doing it for the money, as he doesn't have to. (She saw him in Easton, PA.) She sent me a tshirt from the show that says Tour 2012 on the back 

Being an expat is fun, but it's hard at times too, at least for me. It's funny hearing the Australians talking about their day of four seasons--because where I live in France, there are NO seasons!

  Wow you're studying to be a Registered Nurse...may I say that takes a special kind of person.  I always wanted to do that, but don't think I would cope with the rotating shifts as I am a single mother to a 9yo boy...I work in Home and Community Care now,
looking after the elderly in their homes, but have had extensive experience working with doctors and recently completed Pathology collection cert III.   Two of my family member have their own businesses teaching first aid...So, have you noticed anything medically speaking, that doesn't  seem to be correct?  Eg. ways in which MJ was worked on, or what happened at the hospital?

I've just been researching that intubation has been proved to be more harmful to a patient that is in cardiac arrest...was going to start a new topic about that.  Anyway, stay warm, and vermont is only about 1/2hr away from me...keep in touch.
