K1W1: April 2010
http://k1w1jax.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Raw and real ramblings of a roving Kiwi with subjects as varied as the author. April 30, 2010. ACC might become MOD. Thanks very much for your email. There is some hope that the Ministry of Social Development will take over funding from ACC. I wrote the story below yesterday but there wasn't any room for it in the paper. Social Issues Reporter, New Zealand Herald. Sexual abuse victims approved for ACC-funded counselling plunged from 472 in the first two months of last year to just 32 in the same months t...

A Girls Life: 12:10
http://missd-justagirl.blogspot.com/2010/10/1210.html
Friday, October 29, 2010. So I flicked the switch and it was 12:10am. I have a light switch on the wall above the head of my bed. I often wake my self up with sound or movements, such as screaming. But I've never done something like that before in one of my nightmares where something that is very outside myself in the real world is simultaneously in my dream and I use it obviously at the same time. Going to make a second cup of tea and just sit on the couch for awhile and try and tell myself that it's ok...

K1W1: Road Trip - part 1
http://k1w1jax.blogspot.com/2013/04/road-trip-part-1.html
Raw and real ramblings of a roving Kiwi with subjects as varied as the author. April 19, 2013. Road Trip - part 1. Was asked: "How was the trip? Well, it had good bits and then there were some not so good bits, and in the middle, well, it was undetermined - could've gone either way, really. The concept of roughing it, camping out under the stars, was appealing at first, until reality set in. Instead, you are made acutely aware of all those YouTube videos of three-foot spiders under toilet seats and coile...

A Girls Life: Band-Aid Medication
http://missd-justagirl.blogspot.com/2010/09/band-aid-medication.html
Tuesday, September 21, 2010. It's just starting to rain, fat and heavy drops. The sky is grey and the wind is howling through the trees outside my window. I'm not angry at anyone. All my Treatment Provider's are wonderful people, who time and again have shown compassion and patience towards me, but who are also human, are busy, and surprise surprise - it's not all about me, I know that. I'm just feeling down about trying to manage a problem with medication that needs more than just the band-aid that med'...

K1W1: January 2011
http://k1w1jax.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Raw and real ramblings of a roving Kiwi with subjects as varied as the author. January 26, 2011. Child Abuse - what becomes the focus? Several people mentioned the "child" (by legal definition) was under age - 14 - and therefore, it was a clear cut case of what we call here in New Zealand "Carnal Knowledge". It's under NZ Law, "Section 134 of the Crimes Act 1961. Carries a ten year penalty." said JP. The good thing about discussions like this with a group of like minded people is that, sometimes, they th...

K1W1: December 2010
http://k1w1jax.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Raw and real ramblings of a roving Kiwi with subjects as varied as the author. December 28, 2010. Couple on torture charges lose bail - National - NZ Herald News. A picture paints a thousand words. Thankfully, reassuringly, this picture claims only a small amount of real villains are out there but moreover, that each and every one of us has a bigger part to play than the equally calved up measure of "heroes" in this world. Inside that "everyone else" are people like the. Constantly having my concerns abo...

K1W1: Road Trip - part 2 (Navigation)
http://k1w1jax.blogspot.com/2013/04/road-trip-part-2-navigation.html
Raw and real ramblings of a roving Kiwi with subjects as varied as the author. April 19, 2013. Road Trip - part 2 (Navigation). You never really get a sense of how big Australia is until you leave the house. Day one of our Road trip was a wee test really. The aim was to drive the car to McDonalds, just up the road and take delight that we need not leave the comfort of our seats. Yes, we would eat like Kings! Off the what, the roundabout, the planet, the what - I'm fucking here now! Lauren's suggestion, t...
