Thanks everybody, and wow the story of the guys in Houston touched my heart. Carrying a child with IC? BRAVERY!!! We're probably as much in the dark as you guys but there are a couple of things we do differently. So by all means lets keep in touch!
Re: "Mobbenfuhrer", yes the puns that associate are many and varied. You're actually not that far from the truth. It IS supposed to mean "leader of a mob".
At Fitzroy, 1989, a small group of us got on the Al Lynch bandwagon and created a yob squad called "The Lynch Mob". I figured very heavily and some tended to assume I was the head of the group.
When Lynch left, we refigured into "The M.O.B." (Masters of Bulls**t). Then a friend at the time, who has an Austrian heritage, decided to use a bit of his germanic language fun to assign this name : "Mobbenfuhrer". It stuck.

Here is our administrative wishlist :
Loan Agreement
- Anyone who is able to work with the Loan Agreement, please do so. Get in touch eg by PM if you need more information. This helps us a lot!
Health Food Markets
- Can anyone help us locate health food markets in Brisbane (eg where I can find food that meets Arly's strict diet). The equivalent in Melbourne is "Sunnybrook" in Ormond.
Interim Housing
- We are going to need some level of interim housing in Brisbane when we get there. This is while Centrelink processes our applications for support. If anyone knows of any options, this would be greatly appreciated. What we would need would be comfortable bed, en suite, kitchen(ette) and clean. We were thinking YHA but if there are more affordable options out there, please let us know.
That's all I can think of for now ...

Its gonna take a while to register all these donations/loans, I am attempting to do that now. We are also starting to draw up a budget tonight as we may be able to get air tickets tonight.
We also had a doc's appntmnt today with about a dozen mistakes in her scripts etc so its been pretty hectic. Just wanted to keep people up-to-date, its the least I could do after all the kindness.
Another thing we're looking for is a temporary address (even PO Box) so that we can tell it to Centrelink, as we don't really have an address at this point in time.

I was going to donate until i read the doctor bashing.
He also asked for a street adress, unfortunately I live in VIC, so can't help him out, but come on you Brisbane posters, lend Mobbs your address.

Yep, the kindness of the BF fraternity has basically restored a lot of faith and given the missus a chance to find a way through. Its been a hard time, but with this assistance, we can make it.
Thanks all!
Thanks all!
