Well Ive been working heaps this week which has kept me away from the computer and keeping my mind busy. So I havent really had the chance to blog lately. But work is going great! Im really enjoying it and have been checkout chick this past week which has been fun meeting the customers as they leave and giving them a big smile and seeing the smile returned is great too. One great bit of news though is that for the first time ever in the past 14 years of being HIV positive I am now undet...

Well the past two days we have been hit by arctic conditions here in Oz. ...

And thanks to Dharmas beenie my head was kept safe from the cold! I reckon she should market them! make stock now for the winter! People they are the warmest beenies I have ever worn.. maybe cause it was made with such love and the colours are that of fire! Who ...

Well here it is folks... I woke up to this article on line this morning.. Link telling the world that a melbourne scientist has found that HIV is killed in the test tube by lemon juice! Now there has been a website for years going around that tells people with HIV to drink whole lemons with olive oil everyday and that it kills the virus in the system. Its been around for years, but has been ditched by scientists and organisations as a crank and people have been warned not to do it....

In JU there seems to be a wide range of people blogging. People with all sorts of backgrounds and experiences. What Im wondering is what is the age group of the people who blog on here? Am I being rude in asking how old are the people on here? Just to get an idea of the audience.. How old are you?? Im 31 almost 32. What does it matter? Well Id like to understand the different generations of people blogging and from what ideology they might have been brought up with.

This is a Tibetan Prayer wheel..the inscription reads "Om Mani Padme Hung" which means the Jewel in the Lotus. It is the essence of the Buddhas teaching. It is said that the prayer wheel when turned eminates the prayers into the universe for all beings to benefit. May all beings here on JU and throughout the Universe benefit from the turn of the Wheel. You can read more about the benefits of prayer wheels in this link which is really great!

There is a syndrome named the "Lazarus Syndrome" and is attributed mainly to people with HIV or AIDS. Im sure we are all familiar with the biblical character Lazarus who was brought back to life by Jesus. Well its named Lazarus syndrome cause it means you prepare for death only to realise that it isnt going to happen so you start to prepare to live again. This has happened to me several times living with HIV. When I was first diagnosed my doctor had given me no longer than six to twelv...

Well it was back to a more stable routine for me today. I started work at a huge department store today. It was mostly training and occupational health stuff today and not out on the floor but I felt really good being there and it being a routine I can get myself into. I havent worked in a "normal" job for a while well one that I dont have to think much and can leave and not take it with me. BEing Poz things can go a little haywire without much notice so having a proper job with a routin...

I was so excited to get my mail today.. I got my beenie!! Dharma siad to me a couple of weeks ago that she was going to knit me a beenie. At the time I was really surprised cause for one noone has ever knitted me anything, and two we dont even know each other and she did it out of the kindness of her heart. For me this is such a big deal because I think that for someone to give like this without even knowing me then their heart really is golden. The beenie is great! It looks like i...

Went to the clinic today for my 3 month check up.. Doctor thinks all is going really great since I started the new pills in March. My immune system seems to be reactivating itself, last T cells were 373 and my viral load was 270 which is really fantastic stuff considering I had under 200 T cells in March and my viral load was greater than 100000! So things definately are starting to work. Ive also put on 6 kilos! So thats really good too! Took more blood today so Ill get those results next we...

Is it just me or are people noticing that over the past week people are having more relationship troubles? Ive been witness to so many domestics the past week it aint funny.. people seem to be lashing out at each other. Just talking with people as well it seems alot of people are questioning why they are in the relationship they are in and there seems to be alot of friction. It seems to be even happening on JU with the interaction of people on here getting more heated. Has anyone else...

Im really excited today! I applied for a new job a few months ago and went through 2 processes of interviews and they accepted me into the position. What happened after that was the company couldnt put me on for their own financial reasons... Butthis morning after a few days of really thinking about it and thinking why did all that happen I got a call out of the blue telling me my start date is going to be this friday! ive had work since the age of 8 yrs old where I worked for the loca...

Ive just got a few questions to ask... Do we want to be in relationships so we arent lonely and need to feel secure? Do we have relationships just for the sake of having a relationship? Do we stay with our partners because we build our own guilded cages and cant bare the thought of leaving? Is there such a thing as true love? Do we find that when we are in a relationship we want to be out of it and when we dont have one we are searching for it? These are the thoughts going a...

I havent blogged for a while.. I been reading other peoples blogs and trying to gain more of an understanding about this JU community. In this last couple of months of blogging Ive met some really interesting people on here. Ive read some really interesting blogs about peoples lives, and about what they believe in. Some has made me mad some has made me cry and all of them have made me really think. It's almost like a little macrocosim of the entire world here on JU. People from all ba...
