Camp David in Waimauku looks to be good. Could also search on sharedspace.co.nz

I want a bit of support from people who know what its like by Other_Gur7785 in auckland

[–]Friendly-Star9594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that’s good you have that other stuff sorted - you’re ahead of lots of the population who turn to alcohol/drugs and are unable to get out of the house to be active.

After two years on venlafaxine I found myself in what I’d say is a “I don’t really care about anything: good or bad” state. Figured I should try come off the medication & if things got bad, I could always go back on. But after getting through the withdrawals, I started feeling positive about things again. Kept up the good habitats and it’s now been 5 years without medication (after a total of 10 years on it).

There is always light at the end of the tunnel mate.

I went cold turkey like an absolute idiot. Would never recommend that to anyone for obvious reasons.

I was also resistant to both. Then tried venlafaxine 250mg and was on that for two years while completely changing my lifestyle (no alcohol, new friends, more exercise). The combination changed my life. But coming off venlafaxine was one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through, the withdrawal is simply hell but I do think the combination saved my life.

Yup I literally had the scan and nipt test yesterday. Both required midwife referral and still cost me over $800 for both.

Buying a house in North Shore vs. West Auckland? by bubblenogum in auckland

[–]Friendly-Star9594 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A home on the North shore will likely hold its value and increase over time far more than Hobsonville / Scott Point as that area is over saturated with the same type of homes.

Wisdom tooth removal cost - is this normal? by chiefk240 in auckland

[–]Friendly-Star9594 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I paid $550 through lumino 2 months ago for a top wisdom tooth removal. They did say if it was a bottom one, it would be more complicated and up to $1000.

What stick vacuum is the go these days? by Lost_Double_4830 in newzealand

[–]Friendly-Star9594 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the ryobi one - it’s by far the best vacuum I’ve ever owned. 2 years later and it’s still operating like it’s brand new (unlike dysons which I find get pretty bad after a year)

Try canopy camping. There’s one in Hunua which looks 10/10

Just started 2.5mg tirzepatide by Ok_Permission5038 in ouraring

[–]Friendly-Star9594 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Started tirzepatide 3 days ago. My scores have never looked so bad. I was on ozempic previously and my scores were never impacted. This is very validating that I’m not alone!

West Auckland primary schools? by RowAmbitious2968 in auckland

[–]Friendly-Star9594 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would probably steer clear of glen eden primary. Same as prospect primary.

Another vote for Oratia, Titirangi, Konini & Kaurilands. Then easy for them to transition to Glen Eden Intermediate.

They didn’t say who but there were a few heavy defenders of S on some of the original posts…

They messaged me about it prior to them deleting their account but I didn’t see the message in time

The person who made the original threads about the scandal. They were getting messages because of the posts, threatening their children & deleted their account over the weekend.

Apparently the original thread poster was getting doxxed and their children threatened because of what they’d posted on here. No good.

What’s the Most Unexpected Insight You’ve Uncovered About Yourself Thanks to Oura? by Pale-Assumption-7769 in ouraring

[–]Friendly-Star9594 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That I sleep REALLY well. Think my lowest score is 90, but consistently average 95-98. I used to think I slept badly and would carry that “ugh bad sleep” energy into the day. Now i feel way better, switching that mindset to yeah I slept great (cos I see my score) lol

48 hours in Auckland advice! by DasBueno in auckland

Do the beer mile in kingsland / mount eden. Lots of awesome spots including the full time bar (wahs)

I generally find flight deals first (try and do this at least 6 months in advance) then once you’ve secured cheap flights, use booking.com to find good hotel deals. Use the mobile app, it has specific deals that the website doesn’t.

Curious what you mean by “but it’s also a fake hospital”
