But you didn't move to Australia lol, you moved to perth 😂

Wow

That was nice. One point though and a very important one. If you migrate here without thought for the existing culture which sadly a couple of cultures happily ignore you will find it difficult to settle. Perth is not a tourist city so all the facilities are built for the community which visitors are welcome to share. As to the local community and that which feeds in to the isolation narrative, West Aussies don't celebrate our cultural differences, we celebrate what we have in common, family, kids and sport or outdoor activities, camping or just sharing spaces, no one is special. Should you claim a higher social status you may find you will be quickly put in your place, visitors included. We are not culturally Sydney or Melbourne, in Australian cultural terms they are on the fringes and in truth have little common with the rest of the country. We don't need to mimick others, why should we when we already have our own style. Our environment in particularly nature and how we both protect and embrace it is the soul of this State and it outranks every other state, best respect it or leave. Enjoy, it's a wonderful state to live in.

So you that means whomever you add to a community has access to all the groups on the community? For instance if it’s a group and you have say a management group on the community , anyone on the community can got on that group?

Hi Meggs, I hope you are recovering well. Please confirm if you are able to run longer distances without any pain? Also, are you running more often now and able to do hikes as well?

I've created a community group with chat groups A, B & C. Whenever chat group A people text each other within their own chat, it pings a message notification on the community group instead of their own chat group A. This can be confusing as it gives the impression that the message was sent to the community group by admin. And implication is, all the ppl may be concerned if their messaging activities are also seen by others. And then also when there’s a new message on a group, you open the community first and then the group chat. How to get the individual chat groups' text stay out of the community radar and appears only in their own chat groups?

ALIF surgery is in the future (years)..... no if's and's or butt's about it.

I’ve lived all over Australia and always come back to Perth Real estate is a lot cheaper here than east coast but things are changing fast

Thanks again- very helpful!

Well done! Thanks.

Please get a decent stand for your microphone holding it on your hand was very distracting- also a high frequency of editing ‘jumps’ made this a distracting watch…. I’m sure you’ll get better at this. The content was interesting but the style of delivery needs a lot of work. 😅

Thank you Megs for sharing your story #renewedhope

Your statistical anlysis regarding rent/wages, is not mathematically correct as it does not factor in area choice, EXAMPLE: I am sure Soweto is cheap rents !

Shhhh, don’t tell them how good it is here.

Hi tapping in, I had the procedure two days ago and immediately felt relief, just pressure/soreness around the entry point. I promise recovery is a lot less pain than what you are experiencing with a compressed nerve. For context my sciatic pain traveled down my leg, into my knee and ankle. I had numbness in my last three toes and without heavy medication I pretty much felt like I had a knife in my lower back that was being twisted. I could not properly sit in a seat nor walk without a terrible limp and was forces to lay in one position on my back, so i had many restless nights. Not to mention I had a 8month old crawling baby that I could no longer lift nor protect from immediate danger. If you are in the DMV area consider Precision Orthopedics, Dr. Yu!

If the Australian government had a backbone, we would NOT be paying a premium for natural gas which an AUSTRALIAN natural resource🤨

Not applying sun block....toxic garbage.

can we create more than one community from the same account and same android device? If yes How?

It’s totally still trauma! Went through similar plus a fusion a few weeks ago. Thanks for the video love :) hope youre doing well.

I think you recorded the audio in stereo, but only 1 channel

A huge number of South Africans live in the northern suburbs from Carine to Ocean Reef or even higher... I know quite a number in that area and quite a few are from Cape Town and other cities. Then there is a lot of South Africans too in suburbs like Darch, which has Kingsway Christian College which is full of south africans, especially the Africaans it seems. But its a great coastal strip full of sporting clubs, beaches, surf clubs etc. Then for South African jews I think about 25 years ago a lot ended up near Dianella closer to the city near the synagogues and school etc.

Unfortunately the real estate market for buying and renting has gone really high at the moment with a lot of demand. At one time the bubble won't keep increasing. So maybe be conscious of loan size. But I think the prices will keep on increasing for some time yet. A bit frustrating for home buyers who may panic and over invest in something. About five years ago the prices had been stagnant for some time because of the previous bubble, that while not completely bursting just led to prices not changing for quite a while.

wheres the best place to club ?

Hello there, I can’t seem to find your Instagram :) would love to get in touch because we are looking at moving to Australia early next year

Is it possible to create whatsapp channel after having whatsapp business API ?

So I have multiple groups for my online coaching business. If I add them to a community I don’t want people to be able to choose a group that they can join as I’ve specifically put people into different groups. I also don’t want people to be able to see what goes into individual groups unless they are a member. Is this possible?

Can I join you

It's funny how foreigners naively go to Perth like it is the real part....

Those of you who have had this surgery - was your nerve pain gone immediately? I had an L5/S1 Discectomy 4 weeks ago and my back currently feels exactly the same as it did before the surgery - I have the same nerve pain in my central lower back and across my hips, feels like he didn't even touch whatever is causing the issue. Could this just be because it takes time to get better or should it be more immediate?

This is me currently... cannot put socks on neither can I put my undies or pants on...I have never cried so much in my life from pain...My op is in two weeks...will update

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, I’m only 25 and I’m getting microdiscectomy in about 2 weeks. L4-L5 herniated disc which I already got surgery on in 2013 when I was just 15, it was due to a fall (physical trauma) and sadly it has become a weak spot ever since. Gonna keep my head up and soldier on 🙏

Can you post from a camera or tablet feed directly to a WA group, Conmunity Announcement or indeed to a Channel (which I am currently using)

Hi - thanks for your video. I was wondering how you would get on if you lived alone in the recovery period. I have had 11 surgeries on my spine but had either my now ex-husband or children living with me. I was diagnosed last week with a herniated L4/5 disc. I now live alone and don’t think that my 2kg chihuahua or my 19 year old cat will be much help. Very stressed. 😢

Thank you for sharing! Renting is so difficult but I’m happy you guys found a place

I'm actively debating going through with this surgery or keeping going on (bandaid solution) cortisone injections. Mostly out of fear! So sick of living in pain and I need to get my life back on track and play with my kids.

Great list. Yes 100% agree it’s ridiculous and so invasive how much information real estate agencies are asking for these days. I doubt many of these companies have strong cyber security, know the Privacy Act, and have cyber security insurance.

Hello I really loved your video❤. Which are good suburbs for a economical rental residential accommodation, I am looking for the minimum. Thanks and regards.

Notion no offline access, trello for me

😮i live in Perth and could not disagree more. This place is hot, dry, and unpleasant. Scenery is horrid. Give me green and rain any day…i will try not to judge too frankly though, because i immigrated from a bric country so i get it.

Dam we have tried to keep Perth a secret, but the cat is certainly out of the bag now with people flocking here. Good luck to all our new Australians you are certainly welcome here in WA. I came here with my family in 1981 and have had a great and rewarding life.

Just had consultation to get this procedure done im on a waiting list for 3 to 6 months, bear in mind my pain started around September 2022, nervous of the actual operation but like you more nervous of the recovery. I'm a stay home mum who does absolutely everything at home, and will be total chaos if I have to rely on my partner and 2 teen boys to help out. Thanks for the advice really helpful. Just wondering g if you had any of the symptoms I'm getting problems going to toilet, leg cramp numb hands just to name a few.

🎉

meg why no one watching vlog

Hi! Thanks for sharing your experience. I am 12 days post surgery. I had an L5/S1 microdiscectomy and L4/L5 laminotomy. At 62, I obviously am at a different life stage than you but can relate to your love of having an active life. I am in that resting and short walks phase of recovery and still having some nerve pain. I was told at my post op yesterday that all looks good and I just need to be patient. I was interested in other people’s recovery experiences and that’s how I found your videos. I live in Colorado, USA, and very much look forward to doing some hiking this summer and skiing again next winter. Your advice is very helpful! Good luck with your new chapter in Australia!

I really appreciate you sharing your experience. I have the surgery scheduled. These are the things the surgeons don't make time to discuss beforehand.

For anyone considering this: the best prep for surgery is to BE FIT, especially back, abs and lower body muscle strength, but also cardio. Incidentally, working on those things can in some cases resolve the herniation on its own - and those are also key part of the post op regime post the initial 4-6 week recovery period.

What this video for?

Hi Meg, thank you so much for your videos. I have been procrastinating surgery for sometime now. I will talk to my surgeon again. Your videos are quite encouraging. Thank you. God Bless you and your family
