When Do They Send Out W2 For Nys Disibility

Happy New Year!

Yesterday was not only New Year's Eve, but my first vacation day. I thought so anyway, when I got up at 4 in the morning to call Janna, Malin and Simi. I reached after all and went to Simi a fun phone call back to my room. At 6 I put Shaun the puppies (Jonny) to bed, so bite me, scratch and Schleck attacks from the torn country of dreams. Since I wanted my first day off so even sleep properly read and cozy after a hard day's paper or Lego construction:) wish I locked the dear Jonny again and slept on a cozy and extensively. For half an hour. Because Tracy was then stormed in and told me my Luxussuit short and sweet, that in the fish factory where she works, temporary help is needed. Shaun could not work unfortunately (he had a foot injury .... hmmm so within 3 weeks, a sprained ankle, a torn toenail in the center and now a Flesh wound in his heel. The first two injuries, he moved within two days of each cycling. Barefoot. Drunk ..... for the flesh wound, he offered a sprint over large stones (such as the River Elbe and also as close anneinander). Faced with this masterpiece the auctioneer not hesitated long and Shaun got his wonderful flesh wound for which he had indeed reciprocated. {It may be that the previous sentences are a little too metaphorically ......}) Back to basics: I could not of course say no and I enjoyed another working day. It was definitely an interesting experience to wash one day, crabs and pack, but I fear that I am at this Job would get bored pretty fast. At least I tried crab meat. Could be eaten more frequently, if only it would be not so warm. At 37 degrees at 8 o'clock in the morning until I develop no Hungergefuehl (except to recover fruit:) I can always eat here)

Sylvester I, after the pub atmosphere is not really wanted to pay, spent in a backpacker hostel. Apart from me (I was the driver) were all there, drunk, incredibly good humor and very outgoing. At midnight all the many into the arms of his unheeded, whether you're from Africa, New Zealand, China, Japan, Korea, Germany, France, Nepal, Italy, Canada, etc. was whether one had ever seen before, or whether you, like Tracy, was not even backpackers. On the street outside the hostel which probably only 2 rockets were ignited across Bundaberg (Feuerwerkskoeper are banned and the public fireworks a lot). We and many other jumped as we were in the rather large pool and we were also surrounded by perhaps hundreds of radiant joy, singing backpackers. This New Year I'll probably remember soo fast.

Happy New Year!

Money For Blood In Florida

Everything has an end, only the two Melonenpfluecken

Today was my last day as Melonenpfluecker - Final structure - for a while. I got the job actually given up before Christmas, but somehow I could but then nciht say no, when I phoned my Vorerbeiter, whether I would still pick a few days. And I did today! In recent days I've been working on a farm, where you directly invited the melons on a truck, without which one had an assembly line. You had to pick and pass simultaneously melons. I stood at the end of this human chain and threw the melons to Dave on the truck. He was not very high, a meter but I had to toss the melons at least. 1m over 30 t-8h melons with little pauses. My arms did not hurt, my back could stand quite well, as I bend nciht had only my daily routine changed a bit. Get up-Breakfast-packing things working showers - afternoon nap - dinner - make ready for bed, sleeping. I was in fact quite tired after such a day, especially when we were here left work additional hours in continuous rain.

Hooray, hooray, the post is here!
have arrived to date maps of Mama, Papa and Soeri, grandma and grandpa, Anja and Detlef, Aunt Christine, Omi and Opi and finally the map of Sebastian.
I've got all the cards very much.
to Omi and Opi: I've eaten here so far almost every morning homemade bread. The first day it was to eat wonderfully different from the Australian white bread, after two weeks I got used to my bread and I ate still very happy, but in the last 4 days I'm not hungry at all on my bread, apparently I'm now well enough. :-P

For all the writing I would like to comment about my experiences, for example, or simply "Hello!" to say, I leave my e-mail address: timm31337@msn.com

Kind regards Timm

Hide Pipes From Pedestal Sink

only 1, then 2, then three, then four, then the Christ child is coming up and when the fifth light is burning, then you have Christmas overslept!

.... but about that later! First, I have some pictures furnish the last days, Tracy has done with her camera.

Sony, the Filipino wife of Tracy's father, on her 50th Birthday!

Shaun and Tracy's father to pass in a very expressive pose. (I had no other Photo of Tracy's father)

I was relaxed that day and me in the house of Sony obviously felt comfortable, as some guests were singing Christmas carols, which I had until then but sorely missed.

This is the family of Jason, where we could work bermitteln at our farm, and Sam, Tracy's best friend. The family is almost every day visited us, assuming that we are not just yours. (In the photo, unfortunately, lacks the oldest son). When Sam and Jason, there are many children, lots of toys, lots of beer, a big TV, but otherwise the apartment is quite .. Spatanisch established. There are no closets, the laundry is in a heap on one of the few shelves, a dining table, I can not remember right now and there are not any fans here are actually typical. The children have no beds, but sleep on mattresses that are spread out at night somewhere on the floor, or on the sofa. Particularly struck me is a space in which nothing is different from the Christmas tree and a painting on the wall. (After Christmas it is then only the painting!) ... unnd since I somehow found fascinating, I have photographed this painting, what Sam asked me if I wanted it to be. You've finally have a similar in the living room ....

Said painting :-)

The children are in Sam's garden come across a new mount that first had to be broken in by joint efforts. :) Said mount had spent his day so far with delivering lawn and melon fields was beihnahe defenseless. (The next day I had the Melonenpfluecken considerable back pain.

... well then I am the ...

our new dog

Arttu seasonally-( the last pictures I have of him up)

Russell before the Christmas tree of my family: O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum, you have only Plastikblaetter ...





A shell tree from the shore ....

A bed full of presents and they were far from all. Overall, my host mother has spent more than a day with Geschenkeeinpacken. .... hmm superiority we once brought together and think about the following problems to: What do you give children who are a little louder than ordinary children ... hmmm ... hmmm no-gag!. .... A sound insulation for a child - absolutely absurd! .. Hmmmm ...

toys with Geraeuscheffekten, this is a great idea! :-)

On Christmas Eve came the children who had spent a week with her father, back and the room was full of presents. As in Australia as in America until the morning of the 25th Giving is allowed to be unpacked yet, Matthew and Russell have already been sorted but hard working, now what belongs to whom. A portion of the gifts is thus officially gegeben.Ueber night came from parents, Santa Claus and has brought a few gifts.

When the children were asleep then, I'm with Tracy went to the beach to look for sea turtles on the lookout, which lay their eggs. After we initially found only two tracks in the sand, Tracy sat down at the beach, while I once again along the waves and abspazierte, to search for turtles. On the way I met a Schildkroetenwaerterin who warned me not with a flashlight waving (the very good gebuendetlte beam of light was just too ideal for a couple of exercises with a light saber) because felt the turtles gesoert and did not come to the beach. Together with her, I found a sea turtle that tried but unfortunately always there to dig a nest for their eggs, where there were rocks under the sand. Ultimately gave the sea turtle on without using it, and disappeared in the floods. The night was pleasantly cool, the waves roared, a light sea breeze wafted to our noses, the tortoise took quite a few breaks, since she was quite exhausted and so passed hour after hour, without that Manes was really true. That was my Christmas night. By 2 clock in the morning of Christmas Day I was back at home, on the phone for a while with Janna, my teeth cleaned, etc.

..... at four I was already in bed for 2 hours of sleep because the kids were of course too excited to sleep off.

After the mess I could not just leave when I saw before me this wonderful Lego. Within seconds I was back in my childhood and I stayed for the next two hours also, Lego Relying before the Christmas tree.

My Gifts! ... Or at least a part of. I have 2 Australian calendar, boxer shorts, sweets, a wallet and a Schildkroetenhandtuch of our dear neighbor, a towel from Australia Jason's family and a few cans to get fish. Hmmm. I had once mentioned that I might otherwise not only smoked salmon and fish. Apparently, the "Smoking-" ueberhoert, so I got 3 cans expensive canned salmon. Beautiful! Someone had the fish probably misunderstood it, at least I'm still not so proud owner of a Tuhnfischdose. Hmm tasty! If you like Tuhnfisch? I'd Have to give away what!

The result of my childhood trip could be proud, finally, one must keep in mind that I am completely out of practice. Satisfied, I lay down in my bed to make up for lost sleep. For lunch I was awake again and allowed me a Festmal from my fruit basket.


Who takes the fly?

After a cup of milk I was already ready-for a few more hours of sleep.
evening I then brought the family to a Christmas party with friends, where we turn in the family pool, the pool of neighbors or on the big slide of plastic, which had built the 10-member family living next door, romped around.
(if I would have no property more likely, me too where put up in the garden of my tent, even Christmas presents would you give to the poor German backpacker still and also for this family is similar to that for Sam, they do not have much, but they give like)

The hitherto completely successful evening was unfortunately abprupt in that the host due to excessive consumption of alcohol abusive and immoral, was finished and we continued to celebrate with Sam.

Nevertheless I've missed our traditional Christmas, but rather, I had fun here. ... Was not only contemplative Christmas and there was only candlelight in my garage. .! (Sorry, had Tracy for my Christmas tree only scented candles in 5 minutes everything smells like coconut and got after 10 minutes I have a headache
I hope you enjoy the last hours of the 2nd Christmas Day

. PS: I have been today called and asked if I wanted but a few days Picking melons. Why not, it is anyway not much to pick and a little more money does not hurt, I think.

Tips On Making Jambaylaya

before Christmas

Russ and Ron, who gave me not only to work every day and drove home, but have dragged me almost every day after work in a pub to give me something to spend your choice. Ron has won there in Gleucksspiel, one of my favorite pass the Australian, $ 120.

An incredibly good Picking Crew!

the envelope!

Hello dear ones,

as I have heard have already reached some of the colored paper rectangles, others have yet to come. But today is still not Christmas, is still time ...

I had in the past two days now to get up alone because Arttu, as announced, has moved to friends in the vicinity of Sydney to spend Christmas with them. At the moment (you never know) had last evening baked me a huge pile of pancakes, we have, as always, ate ice cream and fruit, belongs Finnish Christmas songs, sitting in front of my Adventsgesteck, entertain us and provide us with many beautiful photos of Arttu from his home and Norway looked at. (And gave a little mess, it also: it was for Arttu a can opener and a bread baking, for me Prallinen) ... In the middle of this first pre-Christmas Anschwall bliss, I discovered an envelope on the desk of your home. You can say yes, what you will-so nice e-mails may be, I have about this envelope more pleased than I would have an e-mail me about each can look forward. (Why is the image now on edge, as though I was previously turned do I still not quite exactly)

The envelope on which unmistakably the little fir from my favorite poem, like the first two verses can be seen of it, I was already touched, the words on the two postcards ever. Thank you for that! .. Only the gift is given for my birthday ... I regret to wait.

A fir from the forest

A fir from the forest,

and it is still so small

with its green branches

It stood in the snow and ice

in a clear winter air.

Now it brings into our offices

the fresh forest scent.

We want to decorate it nicely

with stars and tinsel,

with apples and nuts

wonderful candles and hold.

falls down And this Christmas,

then there are bright note,

the lights and old boys

into my heart.

I was in the last few days a few times after Olli Olli gefragt.Tja remains disappeared, which seems to disturb no one. Tracy believes that it is already desperate to find such a cute dog. "Surely someone has taken it as a Christmas present for themselves. The one he would not return any determined." I have as a precaution once said anything to!

Tracy is now returned with a new dog from Brisbane, she got there given. I will in time put a pic on the internet. I will not let you wait too long, because I now leave. Today was my last day as Melonenpfluecker, namely I had the feeling that it was time to do something different. My back has curved agreement.

In the last week I have namely been working on a different farm than before. I was selected along with the two farm workers, Russ and Ron (it took just a few quick and good workers and I was taken as the only backpacker and was on the melon farm then something like a foreman War I have been proud of it.!)) To to work on Stevens Farm.

It was the best and most melon fields, Russ and Ron have ever seen, which means far more, since the Picking two decades and, apart from holidays never have a day free (sometimes work so 50 days in a row).

We have picked melons in 6h 40 t, are normal in 32t 9h man with 3 more. We would have been paid per ton, we would have earned $ 1,200 a day. But if we have not, unfortunately! But I was not bored at harvest.

Love from Australia

I have to go, otherwise I still miss the spaghetti, which I am invited by friends of Tracy.

Exercise After Hemorrhoid Banding

Olli gone

So and this is Olli, the family dog. Olli biting into fingers, legs, toes and is generally a very cute dog. Thus, whenever the opportunity arises, any object dragged out of the house in the garden, then it is pleasurable chewed and finally said objects remain in the garden are not, of course, because like the Olli next day will chew on them, for alleswas in the Garden is is boring and in the house there are still sooo many interesting things. For example, toys, socks, Christmas tree ornaments and much more, but preferred - particularly when a few days announced to continuous heavy rain, retrieves Olli shoes. My leather shoe took two days to dry and has some bite .... In short, I have come to know and love this little Wollknaeuel.
In the photo, the Arttu has for our host mother made, I have managed to Ollie for the duration of the exposure time in a halfway reasonable pose have bringen.Wir it about 10 times trying and how you can see, Olli is once again the mussels of my Advent wreath out of print. The shell ring I had to reorder every day. I had to. Past tense! Olli is in fact gone. Tracy was the weekend away, Shaun has been drinking with friends here (in the morning, it looked pretty wuest here, and three figures were snoring in Tracys Bett.Leider I had to work-it certainly would have been worth a photo.), And somehow Olli suddenly gone and we have so far also not found again, but it will in the next few days over the local radio station (every major settlement here has its own radio station. Laege Stade in Australia, there would probably Radio Stade 40.3STD or something similar. I certainly hope that we find the small Toelle, uh our love Olli soon.

I otherwise it goes well, I still work, although with me so slowly, the boredom makes wide and I get pleasure, try it out for another job. How about me Lycheepfluecken:) I guess I'm doing after Christmas either leave me or look around for an alternative job, as the melon harvest is already almost over. So greetings to all and I hope that the colored paper rectangles have arrived.

here until further

Red Highland Dancing Outfit For Sale

07.12.2008, Nouakchott, Mauritania, Auberge Menata
Finally time to write to our blog!
Well, where we start there ...
As you all know, we started our Trans Africa at 2:11:08 in the Ruetiwies and are first of all went to a Tour de Suisse, say goodbye to most of the relatives. For all who did not mean it passed ... a heartfelt "apology" ... At some point you have to remain just go, or you sit still ...

So, now to our trip:
Europe we want to deal with relatively short, since there is not much to are writing. Some highlights but should not be forgotten anyway.
France:
Adventurous Pyrenaeenueberfahrt to Spain! Our car (TCHOVA) has it gone through without a murmur. Here's the proof:

we note the sign in the background!

And here are some impressions of the mountain passes:

Spain:
Here's really just a nice story to tell, namely by the dark green BMW:
We put our route planning so that we pass by the opportunity to large cities or. Thus also in Madrid, a city that is infamous among travelers over. The wildest stories we've had and the degree are accordingly bit tense ...
Thank God we saved on our GPS, the Stadplaene of Madrid and drove more or less skillfully by the Madrid-pass road jungle. Suddenly I saw (Flo) next to me a dark green BMW with tinted windows. A guy in a suit waving like a madman with a shiny thing ... I pressed the first time the IGNORE button and drove on. Suddenly, the BMW was driving on the passenger side, and Sarah said ... Hey, if I ev ... police should not stop ... Well, we then followed the guy down the hard shoulder and stopped. rose from the BMW in Suit-clad and Sonnenbebrillter man and immediately wanted to see our passports, our money and the drugs that we would have it. After some back and forth, he wanted us to follow him (now comes to us his badge in front of more Kaugummiautomatenmaessig), got into the car and drove off davon.Derweil we left the Bernese around and waited until it first and then took another Madriderumgehungsstrasse ... which of course had the consequence that we have wandered a while in Madrid. ...

So, we sat at 11:11:08 finally over from Tarifa to Tangier, and entered Africa.

The first hurdle was the limit, the first African. Patience was announced but Flo has handled it with flying colors. I've got me in the car and crawled to myself grumbling ... The main road down to to Larache, where we could stay overnight in a camper park for free. Loud but very comfortable. The next day on to Fez, where we took two or three days to come, and of course to look at the city and the Medina Souq. Ali showed us everything.

three of us before the seven gates of the Royal Palace, a gift from the artist.

The Mandalas of the gates. Every single piece of hand-beaten out of colored Plates!

view over Fes from a dilapidated Militaerfestung

The beautiful handpainted Keramikgefaesse in production

The tannery, where I could not resist a buy a bag ...

After these many impressions we drove on to Marrakech, where we met because of the now infamous Gelbfieberimpffaelschung Germans. Daniel and Robert, on the camp did not want to give up our neighborhood and we enjoyed a dinner: o)

Daniel on the rear staircase from Alobart (the Mercedes 911 of Daniel and Robert).

Robert on fire for the tagine for dinner.

Now the chemistry is still, we are in a month en route to fourth, it happened of course still a lot for what we do not hide from you!
The plan by the Anti-Atlas to drive needed a little time to give to me (Sarah), enthusiasm, because it was a pig cold. With ice on the windshield in the morning, as a lump of ice feet into the night. But the breathtaking scenery, rustic villages of the climbers on the mountain sides, the wild camp to the most beautiful places we compensated!

A solitary oasis of rock walls to protect from the wind, and a wonderful fire pit to barbecue to cook and tagine.

The route took us past Ourzazate to Tazenakht, Foum-Zguid, Tata, Akka, Foum El-Hisn, Tan-Tan, Laayoune, Boujdour all along the coast. Dakhla, shopping, El 'Argoub, down to Nouadhibou.
the Mauritanian border, an adventure in itself! Between the two border posts by Morocco and Mauritania are four miles of sandy trails, total mined and several branches where we do not know where you land. Luckily we decided before the border somewhere, two Mauritanians, where the engine was abgekackt tow. Which led us in the fastest way through the Pistenwirrwar and with patience we made the Nouadhibou Mauritania Einreise.In we decided the iron ore railway line to follow along through the desert, according to Chum from there to go to Atar.

The men had of course a lot of fun on Sandduehnen up and down ride. Dredge, sand sheets go out, air out the tires, air clean again. I was all kind of scary, but nonetheless beautiful wars ...

(A small addition of Flo: "saugeil the dune driving !!!!!")
Some impressions from along the railway line to Atar:

The first dune and you eingesandet (of course also TCHOVA)

By joining forces, and a winch (Juhui, for the first time used!) Were, however, we back down from the thing

arrived in Atar, we held only two days off times can shower, do laundry, and welding our exhaust. Namely was rusted through and the Tchova has boomed that they no longer his own word in Fuehrerhaus shipping. Now everything is whole again, and he purrs as ever. Also, the compressor would be patched up, stands on it, never oil in! And thus was the thing with all the help of various campers and travelers of the camp not be repaired. Since the mech from the place but could not read English (it would have, he would have been no matter what is there) he oil made it, and see her, and the compressor does its job again, straight time being ...
from Atar we went down the main road to Nouakchott where we now sit and write ... This road was just incredibly boring hours sleep, for. Later wars so sandy, dust and dirt everywhere in the air. It looked like dense fog, sand dunes left and right, as ne theatrical backdrop of the three kings. Spooky and fascinating ... Every few kilometers a police check where it was said many times: "Donnez moi un cadeau". The children learned quickly that sentence, of course, no please no thank you, with difficulty demands. What angers me and I of course quickly to the corresponding Responses induced. (You know me J)
Auberge Menata we reached the evening of 4 December since we are lazy. Chat with travelers, can we tell stories of places that we still see wollen.Und of course we had to take care wiedermal the bureaucratic things, visa for Mali, car insurance, passport copies and also the necessary at every police check fiche be reprinted had (here is a little Thank You to Robert and Daniel, which have a small print it and provide us with fiche ...
