What do you really hate? (II)

I concur. But a few swaps for me.
Swap Mark McGowan (don’t know the dude) for Celine Dion.
Swap Burnt toast for Chick Peas.
ADD Canadian Land acknowledgement.
ADD gender pronouns.

Mark McGowan is Western Australia’s Premier and because he decided to be this states Treasurer too.
He pants the last election and basically is the ruling overlord.

Think Dr. Raymond Cocteau from Demolition Man and you won’t be far wrong.

Thanks @Gazza7 No way I would’ve known that. But my little sister’s in town from Cronulla and said Scomo lives there. :rofl: A nickname I’d have never known.
I’ll add Justin Trudeau to my list … at the top, our Prime Minister.

With Starlink up and the push for EVs, Musk was already quoted to be saying, “In the future we’ll have the ability to stop a vehicle in it’s tracks if being in a pursuit” Well, that can be abused pretty easily if people are corrupt, but there’s no mystery that people with power want more power now, it’s the same reason why successful people keep succeeding and people who fail keep failing, seems to be the way it works. Anyways, that’s a whole other rabbit hole to crawl into, how Elon Musk got his money and his family ties and whatnot. Hand over the eye type shit, that’s fact.

Ya, I saw this the other day. It sickens me to see a child act out like this. Makes you wonder what his home life is like. Is it bad parenting or lack of?

When you don’t work for 2 and a half years go back n pull every muscle you have. It hurts. Im sore, my shoulders have bruises on each one from carrying shit on them. Who gets shoulder bruises? It’s more like i havent had to in so long…I’m probably not carrying heavy stuff right anyways…I’m starting to find the spot. Lol!

if you’re getting bruising, legitimately, full on bruising, it might be a sign your liver isn’t functioning properly. Maybe get some blood work done to get your enzymes checked, for peace of mind.

A week and a half ago I had just finished showering and was drying off my left leg when I rubbed too hard on my calf and ruptured a varicose vein. Imagine a 1mm diameter continuous (not spurting) stream of blood shooting out 12”. To say I was “bricking it” would be an understatement. Roughly 10 minutes later I managed to get to my first aid kit one handed and rig up a “rough as guts” bandage and realised I had gone through a completely blood soaked bath towel, a quarter roll of dunny roll and roughly 20-odd paper towels.

This happened at 4.45am and I had to wait until the local doctor’s surgery opened at 8am and then had to wait until 8.30am to see him. Thankfully by then the bleeding had subsided and the nurse told me it was now “weeping” just a little. She cleaned me up, put a new bandage on and the doctor told me to rest up for the day but I could go back to the office the next day. Saw the doctor the day after that for a check on the vein and he reckons it should be all good as long as I don’t aggravate it with rubbing too hard or knocking it. Got him to give me a referral to see the phlebologist (vein specialist) who I saw 6 days later. Getting an ultrasound Friday next week, another consult and then laser surgery. Good thing is I won’t have to wait too long to get this fixed. Bad thing is it’ll cost me $3K to get fixed (in and out in an hour at most). I really hate getting old and really hate giving away big chunks of money :angry:.

I know this little episode is nothing compared to what others are going through but I hate it when life throws shit at me, especially seeing as it’s so rare.

P.S. Hope I don’t get sick in the short-term … the doctors surgery I go to has 3 of the 4 doctors down with Covid and have closed for the next 7 days :sneezing_face:.

Holy Shit @Dardy that IS unfortunate to say the least. Sounds like a harrowing situation to say the least. We’ll keep you in our prayers and hope that your camp time at the short-term facility is short. Godspeed…
