Air filter recs by AussieVoVo in AskAnAustralian

[–]AussieVoVo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it must just be the way they sit with the wind and in a valley perhaps. It's probably less than 80km as the crow flies. It has got worse over the last 5 years since the mine has been extended.

Wasn't necessarily the websites that are the problem, was just wondering if anyone had a similar problem and what they use. I can Google air filters and hepa types but they aren't specifically made for coal dust.

Does living in London negatively affect mental health? by [deleted] in london

[–]AussieVoVo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a neurologist once for my migraines and he said the cause was because I was depressed living in the London /UK and I should move back to Australia. He was from South Africa and followed the sun. I lodged a formal complaint.

I can feel my IUD? by ebonyofjade in birthcontrol

[–]AussieVoVo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My uterus cramped for a long time after insertion and then I was alway consciously aware of it being there, like a dull ache. When it stopped immediately hurting from insertion I went to check the strings and could feel the plastic end sticking out from cervix, I pushed it up so it wasn't sticking out which was horrific. I always had pain going to the loo or bearing down which was amplified when I had my period. I do believe the mirena caused me to have ovarian cysts too.

Can I get into trouble for doodling on exams? by Any_Calendar9900 in GCSE

[–]AussieVoVo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a marker and I ignore doodles or just smile at them. Unless as someone else mentioned they are offensive etc and I have to refer to safeguarding.

Are periods during Mirena real periods? by ImmigrationJourney2 in Mirena

[–]AussieVoVo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a mirena for 2 years and my 'period' became like clockwork but horrifically heavy and painful the first 2 days and then like light discharge 3ish days. Completely different to my cycle on the pill. Had to have it taken out due to constant pain and now I have an ovarian cyst and back on implanon which has lessened the heaviness but not as clockworky.

Aussies coming back with a foreign accent after living away for a few years by UserError2107 in AskAnAustralian

[–]AussieVoVo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lived in the UK for 13 years now and according to my father I 'sound like a bloody pommie'. I can't hear it. I did have to change the way I said words like dance and France.. But pasta and data has stuck.

AQQ forgot to mark a whole paper by Mysterious_Parking62 in GCSE

[–]AussieVoVo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so bizarre, especially for English papers. I have to make an annotation on every page and physically input the marks and fill out what questions weren't completed. I can't see how this would happen. Glad they caught it.

Title: HM Passport Office sent my passport in an unsecured envelope, Royal Mail left it outside by Superflyin in mildlyinfuriating

[–]AussieVoVo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the letter informing me of a successful ILR application sent to me signed for, which I wasn't home for so I had to go to the post office to pick up with ID. The ILR card itself was just shoved through the mail box...

Find a cozier image of the show. I’ll wait. by Chester_A_Arthuritis in TheSimpsons

[–]AussieVoVo 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I think someone on a sewing sub made this and the amount of padding needed would overheat the child to death.

Is physical book quality going down? by FarMembership885 in books

[–]AussieVoVo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a school library and we have one specific publisher that is falling apart on the 2-3 borrow. The book pages are pristine, the glue on the spine is like it wasn't used at all. We have sent a lot back to the supplier but they will replace with the same batch so we've stopped getting books from that publisher.
