@danwritesbooks @CEOofmyhouse56 my tip is: clothes dryer lint! Save it and you guarantee a fast start.

@Mittens_meow @Aradina correct, current radar shows more incoming shortly
@RustyRaven I WANT SLIDES
@Nath @CEOofmyhouse56 tempted to change mine to that, would be quite fun watching ppls reactions.
I’ve had the same ring tone for a very, very long time, for there has never been a better one created:
@TinyBreak @Taleya I live half an hour from Moe up in the BawBaw Ranges and it’s lovely. Don’t have a battery sorted yet, but it is also on the list, as we get regular shortish outages.
@Seagoon_ @TinyBreak very sage advice.
@Duenan @CEOofmyhouse56 haha *chuckles in decaf moccona*
@Reonn @CEOofmyhouse56 crap, what area are you in? I checked the outages list and it was still huge yesterday. I’m in a rural area that gets regular outages, but they are usually resolved within about 12 hours. But the amount of trees down, damaged or basically exploded on the drive out from the city today was… exceptional. I’m not surprised it’s taking them quite a while to rectify all the issues.
@PeelerSheila thankyou! Sorry to hear your partner has ongoing issues - I’m truly not looking forward to the potential of this to keep reoccurring now its happened twice in a row with little time in between. But it has given me the kick up the arse to lose weight and despite the ongoing poor sleep and pain not yet resolved, daytimes are pretty good now, I am getting at least 5 hrs sleep (up from 2-3 hrs a couple weeks ago) and can function even though mornings take a while to warm up. My surfaces! I can almost see theeemmmmm!
@Thornburywitch @wscholermann there are several other GLP-1 agonists available. They are just as effective for weight loss and actually work better for some people. Chemists are generally only filling ozempic scripts if they are not being prescribed off-label, at least until the shortage eases. There are also compounding pharmacies that can create bioidentical product during the shortage, but Novo don’t like them.
The GLP-1 agonists are also proving very effective at helping people quit smoking, alcohol, and a whole range of addictions. They are truly an amazing class of drug and generics will be available in upcoming years, which will make them much more affordable.
@PeelerSheila @melbaboutown oh this is me too, I have the excuse of only just finishing renovations when I got an excruciating herniated disc, which took about 3 months to almost heal… and then promptly another disc popped. Am only now starting to feel like the surfaces might get cleared again as the post-reno reorganising is only just in the last week really starting to resolve.
@wscholermann @melbaboutown I usually have my AC cooling at 22 as well.
@Seagoon_ @CEOofmyhouse56 I am new to the chronic pain merry-go-round, but it seems doctors who don’t know you well will pretty much assume this by default. It’s exhausting. I even had the rural GP who ordered my MRI which showed clearly there was signal behave like there wasn’t really anything more he could do. I think he was a bit grumpy that his diagnosis of “likely tennis elbow” was incorrect.
@Thornburywitch @Catfish liquid soap is waaaay more profitable. And worse for the environment. I guess maybe time to see if you can source your preferred brand direct from the manufacturer?

@Seagoon_ much sympathy, I’m c6-c7 and now it looks like c4-c5, as MRI 4 months ago when the c6-c7 herniated showed a c4-c5 which became symptomatic just as the c6-7 settled down. It’s scary to contemplate that this might continue regularly the rest of my life, it’s fucking agonising. Still haven’t worked out ideal pain meds. Opiods do nothing.
@bacon ta very much!
@Seagoon_ @Thornburywitch commiserations, and same, though I did manage to get a 5 hour stretch for the first time in almost 2 weeks before waking about 2am. Herniated discs fucking suck.
@Thornburywitch I was a bit slack there, referring to The Artful Dodger with Tim Minchin, haven’t read the Pratchett one but imagine he’d do the dialogue quite well, right up his alley.
@Thornburywitch @bacon… rich gentlemen have it boys… indigestion!
… why yes, I did learn that song for a school production, why do you ask? 😊
Quite like Dodger btw, nice little reboot of the tale, eh.
@Baku comments/replies just come through like regular posts in my feed, so yeah it’s a bit janky but I like not having to look at different places, and if stuff comes up that I can comment on, it’s quite easy to do =) I love social network interoperability, even if it is imperfect!
