    How much different Australian English is compared to US English, now that I live here.

    Let see..some confusion so far.. :D

    AUS/US

    Fortnight = Bi-weekly
    Footpath = Sidewalk
    Mobile = Cell Phone
    Indicator = Blinkers/Turn Signal
    Chips (hot) = Fries
    Petrol Station/Servo = Gas Station

    Probably others...

    ... and my accent is another source of confusion... I'm not British!!!

    What do you care? Americans LOVE any type of accent. Use it to your advantage.

    In Canada we have a clothing brand called Roots...my Aussie friend always would take back lots of of sweatshirts since the brand is emblazoned across the front

    What's on my mind? I've always been nice and respectful to everyone except maybe 3 years ago..., I thought that was all ok now but apparently this will always follow me around here.

    I had a group that bashed me, lies were told about me, I've been put through hell when I was sick and there's a person that will just never stop bullying me here. I liked to come on here and have fun and joke around but I think it's pretty clear that I will never be left alone. I'm a good person and I don't have any enemies in real life so I'm positive it's just here. As much as I don't let myself be bothered by ppl I don't know...my sensitive heart can't take it. For my real friends on here, I wish you the best. For the fake ones, I hope you have the day you deserve.

    😔 I'm so sorry sweetheart. You're such a bright light, and I hate to know that someone upset you.We'll always be here for you ♥️

    AND i know it sounds like bs but you seem to have your *kitten* together and a lot of strength so maybe it’s a jealousy thing ♥️

    The last thing I wanted was to bring this up again but I've had enough.

    This is my last post, I didn't want to announce my departure but I needed to get it off of my chest. So tired of that immature *kitten*. Take care sweetheart xo

    There are really some truly horrible people out there hiding behind they're keyboards. Many of us have had experiences with those types here.

    I hope whoever it is who feels the need to torment you goes away for good. What a terribly angry little person to continue targetting you for no reason. We all make mistakes and deserve forgiveness, don't have to forget but carrying a grudge like that is ridiculous. All I can say is those who know you know the good you and if someone wants to sully your name it's them who looks like a idiot. That all being said sorry you're a target of a childish bully. No one deserves that.

    I am so sorry.
    This makes me so sad and mad.
    You deserve so much better.
    What a low-life, chickenshit.
    I want to fix it for you!!!!!
    Love and positive vibs your way, always! ❤️

    This is so not fair. They should be the ones leaving, not you 😔 Its true that not everyone here is as nice as they pretend to be, we've all run into meanies but I thought most were gone. I know you won't see this but I hope that you'll return someday.. report the nastiness towards you, hopefully a hidden snake will be thrown out.
    You are an amazing lady and its been a privilege to know you 🤗🥰 stay safe and be well T

    I hate having to stay late at work.

    @CoffeeNstilettos Please don't let the *kitten* run you off. I don't know you all that well but I do know you have a lot of people who care about you here. It doesn't matter that this is the internet. The people are real.

    Try being self employed and still working at midnight!

    As for @CoffeeNstilettos - I don't really know you either, but I do know that you're well liked in here and everybody is on your side. Being targetted like that must be awful, but for what it's worth, from my own perspective all that person has done is make me like you more.

    @_Dan1985 I have it easy. My boss is usually at work until 4:00 am sometimes during our busy seasons. But I also can do my part from home (which is what I'm doing as I type! :))
