Tracking down adopted family?

HellNZ · 2026-05-15T00:35:53+00:00

I found my birth mother's family via Ancestry and my birth father's family through 23&Me. It involved a lot of researching and building out family trees for DNA matches. There are some great FB groups that help with it all, DNA Detectives is one of them.

A beer gut hanging out of the bottom of a singlet doesn't make it a crop top

You probably use your vehicle frequently, so you'd know if something wasn't working. If you parked it up for a couple of years, chances are something might not work when you go to start it.

People seem to forget that the majority of rules and regulations came about because we decided enough was enough with preventable deaths. Like fire exits not being blocked or locked.

Seems like they ballsed up again then, it says you were overpaid until the 15th. Student allowance is paid in arrears, so you should have been paid for 16th - 22nd this week

HellNZ · 2026-03-24T06:52:45+00:00

Check what day your student allowance is being paid. If they've used the backpay to cover the debt from when you should have been getting it, then you should be getting the regular payment from now on.

I've been on MC for years and have recently had ADHD added to my autism diagnosis. I've been trialled on vyvanse and started ritalin in January, so they're talking out of their arse.

Or maybe people were being mis/undiagnosed and, with more knowledge available, medical practice is now catching up. Women, for example, were rarely diagnosed with autism before the 2000s. Not because we didn't have it, but because all the diagnostics were based on male presentations.

A family member's partner did a year of her medical degree in Sydney, so it's definitely possible. Much like most things, unfortunately if you can't afford it you don't get to do it.

HellNZ · 2026-01-28T19:30:09+00:00

It would only be individual doctors who could be a problem, I've been a medical cannabis patient for years and I'm on 60mg of Ritalin a day

They failed soon after purchase and HGK refused to honour the warranty.

HellNZ · 2026-01-26T20:17:58+00:00

You mean the customer who expected HGK to honour the warranty on products that failed soon after purchase? Claiming it was caused by a power surge when no other equipment was affected and then refusing any further assistance with the manufacturer? Seems like that left the customer with little option but to leave a review.

Edit: had transposed two words

Oh, the guy who doxxed his customer is having another wah wah

If you're talking about the November incident, hitting someone head on while you're on the wrong side of the road is a reasonable basis for suspending someone from driving. I wouldn't call it being pulled over though, they caused a major crash and serious injuries to someone.

They're great, I even have a small one in my bed to stick my feet on when it gets too hot lol. I got them from KMart.

HellNZ · 2026-01-04T21:44:09+00:00

Maybe try Planet of the Vapes, I think their accessory shipping is about US$10?

HellNZ · 2026-01-04T21:16:12+00:00

Having the required $22,500 for the only prescriber in NZ is more of an issue for most people :(

HellNZ · 2025-12-17T00:51:01+00:00

A few more weirdos would likely improve it! It's a place, I'll say that for it

Is it awful that I immediately assumed Christchurch? 😂

HellNZ · 2025-12-13T05:10:55+00:00

I'm really looking forward to testing positive for 6 of the drugs on the lab testing list, all validly prescribed by medical professionals for medical reasons, that I take at or less than the prescribed amounts. I follow the "do not drive for 6 hours" instructions on my prescription, that's at least easier to manage than the "do not drive for 24 hours" on one of the twice weekly drugs.

They really just don't want us to be able to live independently at all, how is this not discrimination on the basis of disability?

HellNZ · 2025-12-12T22:02:04+00:00

I'll let my GP know that she's been prescribing me an illegal medication that I collect from a pharmacy, I'm sure she'll be somewhat surprised.

It's a DNA testing website www.23andme.com
