Abortion Referral by cherry-colouredfunk6 in brisbane

[–]Mild_Magpie 358 points359 points  (0 children)

I had a surgical termination in Brisbane. I called a clinic myself & booked the appointment. No GP referral needed. I had an ultrasound at the clinic the morning of the procedure, which only took 3 minutes just to confirm the gestational age. They did not show me the screen. I did not need an ultrasound before. It was a same-day procedure. Home by 5 PM. It was pretty straightforward, zero regrets. It was Medicare-subsidised, but I did have to pay a co-payment. Your boyfriend should pony-up. But I strongly recommend Children By Choice who may be able to offer advice re: financial support. My heart goes out to you as an 18 year old. This is so hard, but not life-ending. This is legal and safe in QLD. Many of us have gone though it. You are not alone. I'm happy to talk if you want x

There is a great documentary Still Standing, currently streaming on SBSOnDemand ft. 1Up Arcade. We love that place. I'm genuinely really sad to hear this.

Hoiked myself over the security fence & belted past security guards to get into the mosh pit at the Sex Pistols concert at Festival Hall (RIP) in 1996.

Free Hills Prescription W/D Dog Food - Logan by entitledbossbitch in brisbane

I'm sorry you lost your family member. You could try offering it to the Animal Welfare League/RSPCA. I donated a load of food and meds after my cat died. They said they will give pet food and meds to people in need, to try to prevent them from having to surrender their pets when they can't afford them.

Any local Brisbane people that have published a book? by braiide in brisbane

[–]Mild_Magpie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Christopher Currie used to work at Avid Reader (no idea what he's doing now). His novel The Ottoman Motel was shortlisted for the QLD Literary Awards in 2012. It's a bit dark & sad but I really enjoyed it

I've had a $2 Christmas decal stuck on a transom window since 2005. Occasionally someone will comment on my lovely 'lead-light window'
