I did it because it gave the site recognition and hopefully new people will discover the web site through it! The parts about me was just the price of admission. Yes, it was a great article, and I hope everyone will read it, comment on it, love it on Facebook, and share it!

Wow Susan, a fantastic article you can be proud of. I dear say being an article, somethings will be not so exact, but the overall enlightenment, fantastic.
Look at your following for recognition of what you have achieved.
Cheers Sue.

You have been a treasure through your own right. You have heart and are willing to sacrifice your own right for others. I hope that it will in turn keep getting better for you as well as your on going endeavor to keep yourself going strong. Not only for yourself, but for everyone in need of help. You have given it your all since day one of your life, and kept strong.
I do want to thank you for remaining to be yourself, and with the help of the internet to help as many people as you can. Your experience alone is the heart and soul of Susan's Place, and without Susan, well it wouldn't be any other way.

Hey, I looked at a map online and they are really close together. As Maxwell Smart said, "Missed it by that much!"

For Australia they are pretty close about 500 miles or 800km..about an 8 hr drive

I wish to visit Australia soon, but no chance so far yet. Especially, I will like the clean air. I guess people there like exchanging jokes. "Crocodile Dundee".

Yep "throw another shrimp on the barbie", when used like this, the word "barbie" refers to the Australian colloquialism for BBQ...We are prone to telling the odd joke and sarcasm is a staple for most Aussies. LOL :D :D

Yes. Even the prime minister:

In Korea, the president should step down after talking like that way.

I love that Susan has put herself out there and all publicity is good publicity, but The Advocate is like singing to the choir. Well sort of. We need access to mainstream media to overcome ignorance and stupidity. Susan's doing all she can. It's time for us to step up and do what we can, to inform the masses.
