The dysfunctionality index of my family is sky-rocketing. Things are going way crazy back home and down under.

I'll tell you all about it if you're a close friend and contact me personally.

I'd like to say I'm sorry but I can't deal with problems when I'm a few thousand miles away from them.

Am I whining?

I heard a good quote today. Applies to people who whine and self-pity a lot.

"Get off the cross, sister. We need the wood."
