Stuck and frustrated
« on: May 15, 2013, 12:08:58 PM »

Ok bear with me hear but I've just got back from the Doctors and having the dreaded "snip" (sorry if that's a bit to much info) but my frustration is the fact that I have my new to us jayco swan that has been in the family for a week and not being able to start and improvements. So while I'm lying here with stuff all to do I was hoping to get some inspiration. Our swan is a 2012 OB with a few factory extras but if anybody out there has ideas or modifications be that their own or past threads that I can start using this down time to plan and perhaps put a spring in the step again. Cheers

Maybe you can install an ice machine, help cool the 'offending' area and provide ice for drinks :cheers:

Been there, done that, went to the next town to have it done on the quiet!

Lay down on Op Theatre Table.  SHMBO's cousin walks in to act as the theatre nurse.  Bugger, story now out into the whole flaming world!

Hi,
I had a similar story as Mace. Anethetist- "Where have I seen your face before?" Our kids go to pre-school together. Then went into theatre and was greeted by my soccer coaches wife and the wife of a mate on my cricket team!

Camper mods- what about LED's in the front boot and side hatch near door, I've been thinking of doing the same in the cupboards under the sink also. I also put a 12v outlet behind the robe in the wall beside the stove and then plug a triple socket into that to run tv, dvd player and fan for the kids at their end if needed.

Worked with a guy in Bundy years ago, he was so worried about his post-operative performance, that he put it all to the test the afternoon he got home from the surgery! >:D

FFS, I felt like I could hardly walk when I had it done!

After our fourth child I suggested that maybe I should go and get done.  Wife said no, I will get it done just in case I die and you meet someone younger and she needs the goods......

And meant to add, a mate of mine had it done and then for the next month he always wore 'protection'.  I had him convinced that his swimmers had turned to 'pus' as they died so it was the right thing to do for his wife.  :cheers:  :angel:

Hey Marcus how often do you all get together. I'm only new to the forum and after reading some of the stories of others getting together I think a Tassie catch up sounds interesting

I got my CT towards the end of last year and have been on 2. Both Mathinna and Cosy Corner were great weekends with everyone getting along really well. I'd guess that it'll be a little while before the next due the weather cooling off slightly. Keep an eye on the trips section for the next. I hope to see you at the next one

Say, did you hear why the African American wore a suit to his vasectomy???




Well, he said, "If I'm gonna be impotent, I might as well LOOK impotent!"



Thank you, thank you. I'm here all week, tell your friends!!!

Reminds how immediate after getting home from my snip, I asked my wife if she'd pop down to the shops to buy me some icecream.

SWMBO: "What flavour do you want?"
Me: "It doesn't matter, I won't be eating it."

The worst part for me was the itching from the stubble. No other problems!
