Ruby, I appreciate and understand what you are saying, simply things are different here. There isn't a bus/train I can just get on, we don't have them offering daily trips to the next biggest town. I don't simply have the money to spend on fuel, accom and food. I am sorry you think I have made some awesome excuses for not GALing here, I don't know what else I can do. We have very little to do. I am not a person who goes to the pub and drinks, and in a predominant town of mining people, that is about all there is to do. I have checked the local papers, library and noticeboards for clubs, events etc. There is nothing.
Good grief man, MOVE!!! If it's so miserable there and there's zero GAL activities, why stay? It seems like you're constantly waiting for life to happen to you. "If this happens, then that." Cause and effect. But YOU have a lot more power then you give yourself credit for. Your life, your destiny, is in YOUR hands. Lack of money is no excuse, some of the happiest times in my life were when I had very little money. With little money and few possessions comes mobility and freedom! Take advantage of it! Ever been on a walkabout?
