I understand. Husband wants to move to the Midwest where cost of living is much lower but I can't see myself leaving this area. And I have no immigration requirements holding me.
My sister lived in Vancouver, BC for a long time "without a job" before she could get "Landed Immigrant Status" and therefore get a job. (She actually worked there, was paid by her company to a US bank account, to get around their strict immigration rules.) On paper, it looked like she was an unpaid intern. But that is Canada. I don't know Australian rules.
The knife thing is...weird. What if you could prove they are part of your religious practice? Just wondering out loud.
Well, if he does come to CO, and there is a distinct lack of posting...we'll know why.
Glad me and my combustable materials live far away!

You have skills...

...but I'm not sure I could live somewhere that would take my knives away. Please don't think that's crazy of me.
But, what about Crocodile Dundee? Was all that just a lie? Don't rob me of my stereotypical views!!
NV - That's an awfully sweet thought about the bridge. Wish I would have thought of it.
Aqua Teen. Okay. I could see it, if Boston were the only city. Maybe. And I could see it if the other 9 (count 'em NINE!) cities were scared, too. But this is just horses
t! Have their beans gone to their head?

A lot of the restrictions are newer. Magda told me that when she was my age (probably a little younger, actually) she knew a guy with a knife. Should have thought to ask if it was sharp. They do allow dull blades for display (though any form of gun is banned unless you bind yourself to it with red tape) but I couldn't bring myself to dull my gorgeous pieces. That would defeat the whole purpose anyway...
Anyway, got off track there. My point is that when Crocodile Dundee was made, it's likely there were fewer restrictions. And I'm sure there must be some process to allow someone who basically lives in the bush to have weapons, anyway.
*ahem* If the natives would actually get online maybe they could shed some light on it...

Well, actually there are quite a few things keeping me in Colorado. One goes by the name of Cara, another goes by the name of Hadafang (weapons are not allowed in OZ) and the third goes by the name Imigration Requirements.
And, and, and... Colorado is cool? The mountains are pretty, and there are nice seasons (except for this one - bleh), and it's healthy, and you have more red blood cells, and there's less crime, and people aren't quite as stupid as elsewhere, and, and, and... uh...
On immigration requirements - I looked up how hard it would be to get to New Zealand (I thought about maybe leaving the US of A on account of its political stupidities and such), and it is. Hard, that is. Plus, I think the reverse seasons would throw me for a loop.
But, I'm sure it's a nice place to visit.

That's so funny yinyang; I looked into the exact same thing!! (For the exact same resons. Back in 2004 it was.) The requirements for Australia were similar, I think. Don't remember exactly; I think I looked at them after I was looking at New Zealand. But yeah, hard to qualify.
And yes the mountains are pretty (and help with my hopeless sense of direction) and the high red blood count is good and the crime is low... But right now I want to take a giant blowtorch to all the white stuff. And the sky too, maybe, just because it's soooo cold even without the white stuff. []
