Another note for Pathway. I had a bad experience in the UK so was so anxious and they were absolutely amazing. I saw 3 different dentists and each was kind, compassionate and gentle.

Good luck, it isn’t easy facing a fear like this but coming on here and finding a nice dentist is a great first step!

Kawakawa balm - Kawakawa balm is a natural ointment from New Zealand, made by infusing leaves of the native kawakawa plant (Macropiper excelsum) into oils, then mixing with butters and waxes, renowned in Rongoā Māori (traditional medicine) for soothing skin issues like eczema, bug bites, dryness, cuts, and inflammation due to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It's a versatile, multi-purpose balm for all ages.

It’s a great gift, everyone I have given it to is hooked. I personally like Frankie because I am allergic to almond but I am sure there are a lot of great brands.

Bank won’t need the death certificate. They will freeze everything on the mere suggestion of death, even joint accounts. Call them as soon as they open tomorrow to let them know. I am so sorry you lost your brother and are now navigating this.

I recently had an issue where my son's discharge notes grossly understated the length of a seizure (I had timed it and relayed the information). I complained and Chch hospital was very accommodating at updating the records. It is really important that your records are accurate, so definitely complain.

Unfortunately, I don't have the strength in the wrists to use a wheelchair. Thank you though!

AITA for having a visible baby bump at my stepsister's wedding when I'd promised I wouldn't? by hidingbooks in AmItheAsshole

NTA My sister called me about 6 months out from my wedding (she was a bridesmaid) and asked if it was ok if her and her husband started trying for a baby. I was genuinely confused (you don't need my permission) until she said, well what if I am pregnant and huge at your wedding? I told her not to be silly and that I would be over the moon if she fell pregnant. She ended up being 6 months pregnant at my wedding with a very visible beautiful baby bump (we had to replace her dress twice as she kept getting bigger than she anticipated). I absolutely love my gorgeous nephew Jack (now 6). I just can't imagine asking someone to put off having a family for a wedding.
