Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Being a New Zealander is about driving in a European car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, whilst travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV.
And the most NZ thing of all? Suspicion of all things foreign!
Only in NZ can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
Only in NZ do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the back of the shop to get their panadol, lemsip etc while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
Only in NZ do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a DIET coke.
Only in NZ do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the coun ters.
Only in NZ do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars on the drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.
Only in NZ do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.
Only in NZ are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rink.
NOT TO MENTION...
1 New Zealander dies each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.
42 New Zealanders were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new shirts.
22 New Zealanders are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers.
5 New Zealanders have died since 1994 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.
New Zealand Hospitals reported 2 broken or dislocated arms last year after Xmas cracker-pulling accidents.
Around 50 New Zealanders are burnt each year ironing their clothes while still wearing them
9 New Zealanders had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new tops with a lit cigarette in their mouth.
A massive 143 New Zealanders were admitted to A&E in the last two years after trying to open bottles of beer with their teeth
And finally...
In 2003---14 New Zealanders were admitted to hospital with fractured skulls incurred whilst throwing up into the toilet.
If you're proud to be a Kiwi send this on!

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
It's a great place, LOL.
