deejStuff Is Here!! (Part Four!)

Oh no, including the suburbs. The city of Greater Melbourne includes all of the suburbs counted as the 'Metropolitan area'

Outside of the metro area is basically outlying towns and communities, some of which are quite large and others with small populations

 

[Poeia]

Oh, that makes more sense to me. NYC (Manhattan, The Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn & Staten Island) is 400+ square miles. But the New York Metropolitan Area, which includes southern New York State and parts of Connecticut and New Jersey, is probably three times as big. I grew up in the suburbs and fled to the city as soon as I could.

This is Victoria, the state that Melbourne is the capital of...
The area just to the right of the red area (called "Yarra Ranges") is also considered part of Melbourne for the most part

According to Australian Bureau of Statistics, the area of Greater Melbourne is 2787 square km (approx 1080 square miles)

Love how the official name for one area is basically "SURFING ! ! ! ! !"

 

[NikZak]

Yeah, that's where Bells Beach, Torquay and all the other great surf beaches are. Also where most of the Aussie surf brands started

 

[Poeia]

So... has everybody made their submissions to the FDA?

According to that banner up top, tomorrow's the last day!!

Done. I'm so sick of writing these things. It took 2 1/2 hours and now I have a headache (and still have to find some info for Dad.) Why can't the government just leave us alone?

The shipping is more important than the notice.

Where's Witch? She hasn't been around for days.

 

[Digimon2k]

We've both been a touch under the weather...

 

[Poeia]

Will you please stop that. BOTH OF YOU. Enough being ill.

Good morning y'all

I'm finally home.

I wrote a longish commnet to the FDA and submitted it before I left. I also submitted a second, shorter one yesterday evening. I sent a tracking number to CASAA for the first one, but didn't save the comment number or the tracking for the second one (i was too tired to do the other stuff).

 

[FranC]

Good morning,CES Good to have you back.

 

[TravTech]

Morning Clowder!

If you gave them your email address, it will be on the top of the receipt.

I went to the site yesterday. There were 58,000+ comments but I think less than half were ours. The "don't tax premium cigars" crowd made up the rest. Someone gave them a template. It was quite dizzying seeing page of results that all started with the exact same words.

Thanks Trav


I actually started my second comment the same way. "As an adult user of vapor products...."
The gazillion identical cigar comments were really annoying. I hope they take the time to read the longer comments of actual vapers.
