Seti42 Posted July 10, 2019 #7 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) At no point did a doctor think to x-ray her throat? Especially after it didn't clear up with antibiotics or time, as bronchitis/laryngitis will do... That's the truly scary thing, here.

Oh goodness, Wollogong in Australia might be something akin to Florida or not.. I don't know personally, never having been to either Florida or Australia. Have you been to compare? Please do share if so. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Red Devil Posted July 10, 2019 #10 Share Posted July 10, 2019 2 hours ago, Babe bambino said: No hehe i say this because whenever you here bizzare or crazy news stories its usually from Florida that being said im british so i havent been to either places but i would love to go to Australia. Are you from there? If you want to come to Australia from Britain go steal an apple or something. The chains are a bit uncomfortable but you get the trip for free. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember an snl skit with jamie foxx and jason sudeikis i dont know if people from maine actually sound like this but i like it hehe Lol, no... that's none of the Maine accents. It's more of a spoof/play on twisting some of the more southern state accents, probably as a spoof/play about being from more southern Maine vs the northern regions of Maine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Duck Posted July 11, 2019 #21 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Pennies were still put in the Christmas pudding when I was (supposedly) growing up. I remember one Christmas my grandmother/aunts/mother saying how the decimal currency coins were had some toxic reaction with food. That could be why the coins were kept after circulation. it's a bit of an old wives tale anyway. I'm pretty sure I swallowed a decimal currency coin at some stage. It was dad's job to "account" for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, as an Aussie myself, I'd just like to say that most of us usually spend money, not eat it. This girl was clearly out of the ordinary. But damn....no x-ray's? There's got to be more to this story or maybe that's how they are in Wollongong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
