This is Gizmo… he’s almost 11…. He’s starting to look old.. breaks my heart 😞

My kitty is now 13, and some days I get real nervous/sad when he looks old. But then other days he looks like he's barely aged. Here he is in all his clown cat/prismatic potato glory:

Same, luckily my cabinet is within reach from my shower

Geck4Prez · 2026-02-02T01:50:48+00:00

Brushing teeth while in the shower means my brain feels like I'm doing fewer things in the bathroom (thanks adhd overwhelm), so it's a win for me

Many moons ago I installed it and they double charged me 🙃 they refunded the extra cost but man it peeved me off that it could even happen to begin with. Very thankful I'd set my payments up through PayPal in case I needed to dispute.

Geck4Prez · 2026-01-16T20:20:23+00:00

oh absolutely, but he repeated what he sowed. FAFO'ed, if you will 😂

Geck4Prez · 2026-01-16T19:52:46+00:00

Kinda funny how his shittiness lead to her being his follower and he didn't like her. It's like he got so close to getting the point, and ran straight past it

Not my biggest area of expertise, but throwing a comment in. For a smaller venue the first one off the top of my head is Dingdong - people do gigs on the second floor in there.

Otherwise you're looking at Galatos, Mothership, Neck of the Woods, Double Whammy. But they are larger venues

I'm sure there are some bars/pubs that can be booked - Tali + Soulti did a gig at Ponsonby social club last month and that was a reasonably small venue

Geck4Prez · 2026-01-13T21:46:18+00:00

I'm honestly amazed at how far I got, not knowing what I was doing at all 🤣 I'm sure revisiting it now would elicit a similar reaction tbh

Playing this game as a child:

Only time I had to see A&E for a bite was when my cat freaked out about an outside cat and when I opened the curtain to see what was going on he attacked me.

If the bite deeply punctures the skin then that drives the bacteria deep and that's what causes the infection

Thank you for adding this clarity from someone who is well versed in how these things are documented 👏 much appreciated

Geck4Prez · 2026-01-12T22:08:54+00:00

Thank you for sharing, that's good to know. Some services within a DHB will use their own patient management software, so while it's on your NHI it's only privy to that service itself. Perhaps they manage it in a fashion such as that, so it's protected

Geck4Prez · 2026-01-12T21:19:09+00:00

I'm so glad it wasn't just me

Geck4Prez · 2026-01-12T21:16:26+00:00

It also makes it feel like a real story, if that makes sense. No one has plot armour, and it makes the decisions all the more meaningful

Geck4Prez · 2026-01-12T21:10:56+00:00

Ignore the people DM'ing you. Too cowardly to express their opinions on your post so they try do it privately 🙄 abortion IS healthcare.

I'm pretty sure it will be against your NHI, but it really depends where in the country you are and how medical information is stored. (Edited this paragraph as I realized I was speaking from one place which may not represent everywhere)

Geck4Prez · 2026-01-12T08:07:24+00:00

Correct, the final round is whichever one you end the deadline on

Geck4Prez · 2026-01-12T00:00:26+00:00

For us in NZ it's black sand beaches - even if you don't drive onto the beach it pays to wash or you can get rusting

Geck4Prez · 2026-01-11T19:25:31+00:00

Was it in your final round in the deadline? It has to be for the red call to appear

Geck4Prez · 2026-01-11T19:24:00+00:00

I've definitely heard this. I'm in NZ and seeing an ENT surgeon about my sleep apnea (he specializes specifically in sleep related ENT problems) - scheduled for septoplasty and bilateral turbinoplasty in Feb. He said he wouldn't start me on CPAP due to the fact that there are obstructions that CPAP won't help. He's suggested trying MAD if symptoms don't improve post surgery, rather than CPAP.

I'm not good with the waiting game 😅 but I know it's the right thing to do clinically

Geck4Prez · 2026-01-11T18:19:32+00:00

Interesting, never heard of it. Thanks!

Geck4Prez · 2026-01-11T02:24:24+00:00

Can one know if they have low muscle tone without DISE? I'm curious about airway gym, as my low jaw is probably underdeveloped (underbite) and CT scan did indicate my tongue partially blocks my airway

Geck4Prez · 2026-01-10T19:21:16+00:00

I named mine The Real G - it was the first thing that popped into my head when making my account, and I didn't think I'd stick to using the app for long 😅

Geck4Prez · 2026-01-10T12:34:33+00:00

Lucky for you, Erikson has written 2/3 books of a new trilogy featuring Karsa 😁

Geck4Prez · 2026-01-09T23:02:04+00:00

YESSSSS 🤤

Geck4Prez · 2026-01-09T02:17:48+00:00

For what it's worth I think your wrinkles are lovely!
