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...

Seems like we are destined to have no rain this winter. This is very alarming. Does it mean the bushfire season will be worse this coming summer? Everything is all dried up. The grass is brown, the creeks arent flowing, the frogs seem to not croak anymore. Last month Sydney had 30mls of rain. Where did it fall? on the coastline where there are no dams. We cant water the gardens, well only on certain days at certain times. My herb garden is dying, my vegie patch is dwindling. My grevil...

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...
