DrNomis_44's Gold Standard STA-1M Build.

[DrNomis_44]

The place where I live is really not a great neighborhood to live in at all, so one thing I've really got to do at some stage is get myself moved to a better neighborhood, a lot of bad stuff happens where I live, it's basically a set of NT Government Housing blocks, some of the people living in some of the houses aren't really nice people, and there's been a couple people actually getting killed where I live, one person committed suicide (supposedly) by jumping over the balcony-railing on the top floor, another person got knifed and died in a pool of blood after making it back into the carpark, where they collapsed on the concrete footpath about ten metres from where my mailbox is, one other person got knifed when they went outside to ask a group of Aboriginal people to be quiet, I've also had some Aboriginal people have fights right outside my kitchen window, so you see, where I live is having a negative effect on my mental health and wellbeing.

Just thought I would let you guys know that, maybe that has been a contributing factor, I don't really know, it's possible though, anyway, it's one more item on my "to do" list.

Good insight Doc, I don't know whats thats like, but it sounds pretty horrible. I could't live in the NT just for the sheer heat. If you can make that move to Cairns things may be a bit better.

Hi Doc no way I would put up with those living conditions, time for a move mate

[stan]

i think you should bump moving to the top of your to do list...

For sure, there's a few things I need to do first before I can do the move to Cairns, I need to get some medical papers together for Territory Housing so they can see if they can fast-track me with regards to the move, that may take some time though.

Hey Doc just caught up on this thread. I hope your feeling better in yourself. It sounds like you have figured out some top priorities that need to be addressed. Step away from the music for a bit, it will always be waiting for you when your ready. Take care for now

No worries and cheers mate.

If you have kept a log of events around that have happened around you, and have the corresponding police report numbers [not hard to get]... then get a mental health report , there would be pretty thin grounds for you NOT to be transferred.... BUT... To where?

It might be even worse at your new abode, just saying.

The fact that you are a sole occupant, puts you way down the priority scale for a transfer.....I know how this crap works.
If you were to get a transfer, it would be to another single unit affair, with probably other single units around you, most of these would be housed by the Mentally ill, or those either alcohol or drug dependent.

The fact that you are in the NT leaves you with the sad fact that you are surrounded by Kooris, who can't even get on with each other when sober, let alone alcohol or drug effected [hence the constant fighting] let alone a lone white fella.
Same stuff happens in W.A and in Sydney [Redfern - thankfully, no way as bad as you have it ATM].... personal experience, so I can relate to Dr Nomis predicament.
It's not racist, if you live among it and you tell it how it is, it's those that don't live among it in their safe little politically correct only white suburbs , that call it racism ....swap shoes for a month, then see if you still feel the same.

It's the way government try to hide the problem of what otherwise would be homelessness for the above, to the decrement of of those not suffering those ills.

That's sounding pretty traumatic Dr_No - I can understand the need to move and also the contribution that it may be having to an already difficult situation. Thinking of you mate and hope it gets sorted shortly.

Cheers mate, I'm definitely feeling a lot better today, I decided to stop working on the Gold Strat and do some work on getting the HotRod Strat finished, it actually cheered me up a lot because I found that the Hot Rod Strat didn't actually need much work done to get it finished, I'm looking at seeing if I can get it up and running this fortnight, I'm currently making a 2mm thick piece of Rosewood that will be glued to the neck just under the Locking Nut.
