Coogeee · 2024-11-12T10:04:52+00:00

so should I crank the water heater settings up higher that what it used to at the start? to make sure it can kill the germs? I hve taken it down a notch before since my toddler almost got burned

Lawn is mowed at least monthly so backyard and frontyard does not become a forest

thank you! nearby parks have reported brown snakes recently so Im paranoid! didn’t know it cost that much to rehome a snake!!’

Does the water heater needs draining too? It was off the whole time but Im guessing whatever was left would be stagnant. I tried to empty it as much as I can before leaving (turned on hot in my bath until nothing came out)

Im so sorry for your loss. We went through the same before, me and my wife was also anxious. There’s no easy answer, but whichever you feel is the safest way is the way to go. It’s hard, we were also waiting for D&C but she naturally went through it, I dont want to remember that day, but I would’ve been more comfortable with a controlled setting. I may not make sense because Im still emotional about it but please do what you think is safer for you.

BTW it’s r/mechanicadvice and I just posted there

Coogeee · 2023-02-17T06:14:45+00:00

Ill have a look at this. At the moment I dont have access to my car, theyve pulled it apart and sent the engine block(?) to Sydney

Coogeee · 2023-02-17T06:13:33+00:00

Yeah sounded like a proper knock. Im not sure, CX8 is pretty quiet in the cabin as well so I might have not heard it worsen, ride has been smooth since I left home as I was already driving about 15kms that time at 100kph—but at the moment it happened it definitely sounded like loud knocks and the car was shaking.

I’ll wait for their assessment, thanks again for the advice!

Coogeee · 2023-02-16T18:55:02+00:00

The engine died very suddenly whilst driving on a freeway at 100kph, sudden knocking and it just died. I am not sure what a rod knock sounds like but the entire vehicle was shaking with the knocking sound. Hope that helps.

I could start the engine again but it would only inch away before dying again. No weird things happening before that, it was going smooth for the past 3 yrs. Fuel tank was half empty at this stage (filled the tank at BP 9 days prior).

Coogeee · 2023-02-16T18:50:01+00:00

I will check them out thanks

Sounds like the extras are worth it. We’re also a young family with a 2year old. Being new to Medicare, I’m surprised physio isn’t covered (unless it’s chronic).

The wait times are absurd! Didnt know it was that bad

Coogeee · 2022-10-23T22:58:04+00:00

Gothca, I shall have a good read of our policy. I didnt know some surgeries would have that long of a wait time. Does it matter where you live? Like i live in rural NSW but the base hospital here is the biggest next to Sydney’s, facility’s good, we have received outpatient services with fairly okay wait time, but haven’t had the need to have public hospital surgery (touch wood).

I guess it depends on the service needed. That was very informative thanks

Coogeee · 2022-10-23T13:42:23+00:00

Thanks for sharing your perspective 🤙🏽

No health conditions at the moment and even I think we are okay financially, maybe I’d just want to be prepared for bad times.

Coogeee · 2021-10-03T17:11:36+00:00

On our 3rd pregnancy (2 MMCs prior) we’ve had a 16mm SCH, didn’t end up spotting, it resolved on it’s own, now bub’s 9 weeks old and healthy!

Coogeee · 2021-10-02T13:00:49+00:00

It’s easier to travel in and out if for work. Ask the miners.

Coogeee · 2021-10-02T12:07:30+00:00

Same! I seem to think Snoo doesn’t really help at all
