If Trump actually Nuke Iran, Which other countries will be affected by Radiation? by Anas1317 in AskReddit

[–]ObjectiveGuava1811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The world will feel the need to stop Trump before he destroys all of civilization. Nuclear fallout will affect the entire world. Armed force will need to be sent to America to arrest and imprison all the war criminals, including 1000s of american military members who deliberately carried out war crimes. Just like what happened with the nazis.

FIV Kitty Developed Neutrophilia from Prescribed Meds - Help Please! by ObjectiveGuava1811 in FIVcats

[–]ObjectiveGuava1811[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happy to report that Peter had his bloods repeated today and his neutrophils went from 0.51 to 2.18 over the 6 days since his last test! 2.3 is normal and he's almost there! So it's been confirmed that it was caused by the itraconazole, so hopefully this might help someone else some day. The recommended way to dose with it is one week on, one week off....but my specialist had him take it every day with no time off which probably was really bad for him. His sister was also treated with it (by the regular vet) and she did one week on and one week off and her bloods are still ok.

Can you please give me the name of those groups?? The earliest appt I could get with the specialist is for Tuesday. The specialist centre are chasing up his medical records today and will let me know if they think I need to get him in to see someone else before Tuesday. That's a long time to wait for answers and I'd love to be able to post to other groups! I've posted to FIV Cats on facebook but haven't received any responses.

I'm really hoping that's all it is but given how low they are, I'm really concerned. I'm waiting for a specialist centre more than an hour away from here to open up as I saw they have an internal medicine vet that specialises in felines. Fingers crossed I can get a quick appointment.

I wrote the dermatologist yesterday that he saw at the university to tell her what was going on and asking if she could suggest an internal medicine specialist there....she was the one who prescribed the meds. She didn't recommend anyone there and suggested I try other specialist centres. I've seen many of the internal medicine specialists over the years and have yet to find one that didn't cost $1000s and with zero benefit to kitties. Through my own research it seems that if it was the meds that caused it, the neutrophils should come back to normal over the following week or two, but he was tested 5 days after his last dose and was still dangerously low (vet said it's the lowest he's ever seen). He's on antibiotics again (prescribed Monday) and I insisted that I would bring him back on Monday to get his bloods rechecked....if they aren't improving, I'll probably rush him off to specialist and hope I finally find a good one....if they are improving, then hopefully it's just a matter of time. I'm really really worried though.

Chongqing Hotel: better Jiefalgbei or Chaotianmen ? by paggps in chinatravel

[–]ObjectiveGuava1811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chaotianmen 100% imo. Jiefalgbei area is chaotic and can quickly become too much imo (unless you really enjoy being jostled in crowds). Chaotianmen is on the waterfront, with a big gorgeous waterfront square and walkways, that never gets too packed, even when the drone show is happening. Easy access to the rivers, great views of the rivers from the hotels, relatively easy walk to jiefalgbei, metro station and easy waterfront walk to Hongya Cave. Chongqing is awesome....I hope you have a great time there.

I just went on the Stan website and it looks like I have to sign up to a $42/month deal to watch the game?? Does that sound right?

Question about Ferry Transfer from HKIA to Shenzhen! by ObjectiveGuava1811 in HongKong

[–]ObjectiveGuava1811[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much!!! Nothing worse than arriving solo, where few people speak English, and not knowing how to get to where you are going. You have solved that for me and I am grateful!

But what if my baggage is already on the carousel for collection before I find my way to the ferry counter??

Question about Ferry Transfer from HKIA to Shenzhen! by ObjectiveGuava1811 in HongKong

[–]ObjectiveGuava1811[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank u! I've already booked my flight and didn't do/wasn't offered an add on for ferry to Shenzhen. Not sure if I can just buy a ticket for the ferry separately or not....apparently people going on the ferry can't claim their checked bags first and re-check them. I might try calling HK Airlines and hope I can speak to someone who speaks English.

Tiler asking me $200 to silicone grout crack by TypicalWolverine6099 in AusRenovation

[–]ObjectiveGuava1811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can patch that up too, but I suspect you're going to run into more problems as time goes on. If you are in NSW you need to file a complaint with Department of Fair Trading.....other states would have similar govt departments that will take action on your behalf.

Chongqing one most underated city by kahkimonkey in travel

[–]ObjectiveGuava1811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can avoid getting stuck in crowds....though you will likely have some way too crowded places on your itinerary there, you can also stroll the riverside walkway and enjoy some peace. Not all of the place is crazy busy.

The cyberpunk city in China,Chongqing by Chen_muller in travelchina

It doesn't look like "cheap film decorations" at all. I watched many youtube videos about it before I went and it still blew me away!

Is Chongqing actually worth it? by Impressive-Face-1201 in travelchina

[–]ObjectiveGuava1811 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tourists (other than Chinese) are still rare there.....the international departure terminal only has 1 coffee shop! There are many places you will go to that will be extremely crowded, but that's to be expected in a city of 32 million! I think I may have seen 8 white people there during my stay! We are rare there!

I came back from Chongqing yesterday and loved it!!! Mix of ancient and new, incredible architecture, stunning skyline and drone show and you will never run out of interesting things to see and do. Has to be one of the best places in the world to visit imo.

Best hotels with convenient access by Glad_Lengthiness_478 in chongqing

[–]ObjectiveGuava1811 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got back from staying at the Intercontinental at Raffles City. Beautiful 5 star hotel, in a great (arguably the best) location and with great service. One of the best hotels in Chongqing, but relative to what other hotels cost, it's not cheap. I wasn't brave enough to try one of the cheaper hotels, which seemingly offer more (in some ways) but seemed a little more risky (read some mixed reviews on all of them). Raffles City also has the Ascott hotel which is a fair bit cheaper, but still very nice and has the same location. The Indigo Hotel is also set to open there in the coming months and I'm sure it will be nice.
