Why is it that my cat can sit, lay or sleep anywhere in my unit, but chooses to sleep on my bloody newspaper while I'm reading it, of course he wants my attention but he's asleep?
He knows I won't move him, so looks like I go work on the car, do a bit of shopping until he's ready to move!......
And I love it too.....

Or is it the ceiling fan directly above the coffee table!...

No, does it in winter too, he's been a bit clucky lately, but I like him, causes no harm unless you are a rat or mouse, and under the street light at night in summer it's funny watching him jump about chasing and catching mini crickets!.......

Keeps me going, very loyal too, until the neighbour gives him better morsels than me!....lol, hahaha.

Is it “normal” after you’ve had a cannula in your arm for 24 hours, that once removed it will feel sort of wooden and bruised about 4 inches upstream for days? The actual site of insertion is almost painless.

probably been asked before but
why is it ..... time goes 9am , 10am , 11am , 12pm , 1 pm , 2 pm


also

why is it .... we have to pay public health surcharges , with more additional charges if you dont have private health as apparently you have to have that too
tho if you go have a procedure and go public there is no more to pay but if you go private the odds are you have to pay more again after already paying so much and they dont give you what your eligible for but charge for it anyways
like a recent visit i had they im eligible for a private room and they charged the provider for this but i was in a shared room , even after i was asked if i wanted and i replied yes (why even ask ive paid for it , youll get paid for it)

I've only experienced that for a few hours so it might pay to seek medical advise if you are worried to be on the safe side.

As far as I I'm concerned you are screwed if you have private cover or not you will incur extra charges.

Cannula's are meant to be flushed with saline to keep em open, stop blood clots etc, the insertion site gets bruised not 4 inches up ya vein?
If it's bruised away from insertion site it could be the end of the 4 inch Cannula, could of irritated the vein at the end!

Why is it the aboriginal people fight for and receive mining royalties but do not seek any reparations from the United Kingdom? The British are responsible for all that has occurred to them.

This bloody Government gets all the royalties, the lease holders get the big bite, the Aboriginal Title holders only get the crumbs!
And this country is Great Britain, part of the Commonwealth and the Aboriginal people are paid by this government which is England!
The British Government is not responsible for the indigenous peoples of this land on how they spend their money/handout, it applies to white Australians too!
Ya wanna stop drinking grog, don't buy it!.....
Ya wanna stop smoking baccy, don't buy it!......
Ya wanna stop smoking gange, crack, meth, don't buy it!.....
Ya wanna nice car, save for it!......
Ya wanna Government house, then don't trash the last one, and, pay ya rent, whitefellas too!

Nothing is free except the air we breathe, and that makes you healthy so you can get a thing called a "JOB " and work ya butts off and pay ya taxes etc, then guess what!

YOU TOO CAN WRITE A POST LIKE THIS AND NOT FEEL GUILTY

They don't fight for "mining royalties"......they fight for Native Title, two different entities, all 4 of my prospecting titles had to go through the native title owners, luckily my 4 come under one group, they were the Yamataji people, took over a year of back and forth paperwork to get my leases made "live" in other words you could not prospect on them without my permission or cross them without your metal detector being broken, like a shotgun, and I had to get the permission on the white pastoral lease holders who lived in a very rich Adelaide beachside mansion!

A lot of work for the small prospector, but my native title agreement with the Yamataji natives included a royalty payment, only if I decided to apply to mine my leases, then I had to apply all over again and it was very tiring, too much for too little.
