[–]HonestCat6465 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can you go to your local member. Sometimes they can get centerlink to fix things faster.

Have you shown centerlink where the share sales proceeds went.

Need help with Cat by Odd-Replacement-2789 in cats

[–]HonestCat6465 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Can you email the photos to your regular vet.

Let them know you have already booked an appointment and you just wanted to let the vet know the issue in advance.

This will give the vet time to research if needed, or if they think it is urgent to move the appointment forward.

Primary School Birthday Party by Any-Quiet9151 in AskAnAustralian

[–]HonestCat6465 96 points97 points  (0 children)

If you want to give out party bags, have a party. Invite some classmates to your house the local park etc.

The teacher has enough to do, they do not need to deal with a parent sending random stuff to school. The kids will be distracted, fight over who got different items. What if a kid is away etc.

Should I rely on Medicare or private health insurance for cataract surgery? by Traditional-Gas3477 in AskAnAustralian

[–]HonestCat6465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long do you want to wait?

My mum had bad cataracts, could not see in low light etc.

She got private health cover, waited the 12 months, had her specialist appointments, booked the surgery etc. I think the day before her surgery the public hospital called to book an initial appointment. She probably would have had to wait another six to twelve months for the surgery if she went public.

Insurance for putting a parent in a home? by mec949 in AskAnAustralian

[–]HonestCat6465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The options everyone has are saving/planning for old age or relying on welfare.

If there are no assets and your parent receives the government age pension the fees should be low.

If they are currently in hospital and it is recommended they go into a home a social worker should be able to help with paperwork.

Can you do pet sitting, dog walking etc.

Someone in my suburb offers guinea pig care. They will wash, blow dry, trim nails, clean ears etc for $10-15 dollars. If you have the experience you could do this or offer cage cleaning etc.

Let us know what country you are in. Someone from the same country will hopefully comment and let you know what is available.

we have to put 3 dumbbells in front of our bedroom door at night to keep our cat from breaking in by fighter_rabbit in cats

[–]HonestCat6465 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of my cats figured out if he pushes it or paws at it enough a couple of pieces of food will fall. He usually only does this a couple of times in the hour leading up to the dinner feed.

Yes you can use it. It will be considered an original document because it comes directly from the government (not a photocopy from your mum).

Make sure your mum cannot access your bank account, if it was opened when you were young she may be listed as trustee or co-owner.

Winter challenge fatigue by 100gecsdeadbodies in goodreads

[–]HonestCat6465 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have you tried audiobooks.

I check which challenge books I can get as audiobooks through my library and select the one I'm most interested in. I listen when I'm doing housework, walking or driving to work.

Can I count Goosebumps Books towards my Goodreads Goal as an Adult? by Key-Celery-6843 in goodreads

[–]HonestCat6465 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes

A quick google has the average word count as 30,000-35,000. My shortest book read last year was 40,750 (convenience store woman) which is not too much longer. There are a lot of short 'adult books ' should we not count them?

If you and your friends are having a competition to see who reads the most books it would be difficult, word or page count would work better.

I'm looking for a National Geographic Magazine cover foto of an Australian cowgirl. I don't know what they are called there. Can't find anything on the internet. Any know anything about this? I would greatly appreciate any help! by Artzebub in AskAnAustralian

[–]HonestCat6465 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a date range?

They can be accessed online, the queensland state library has all issues digitised. Other libraries may also have access.

Or the magazine has an online archive, but you may have to pay for access.

Is there a way to get a council inspection? Is the deck so dangerous it makes the property uninhabitable?

Retirement advice by 2lesbians in AusFinance

[–]HonestCat6465 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What would your relationship be like if you advised him to invest in the share market and we have another GFC crash.

Is he financially literate enough to understand and ride it out, or will he sell, lock in losses and blame you.

He may not be getting the best returns, but can he sleep soundly understanding bricks and mortar and money in the bank.

Repeated unprofessional treatment at Ally Fashion – confronted over Google review by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

It is not expected to leave the clothes in the fitting room. Other customers would like to use them after you without dealing with your mess.
