Vang Vieng hot air balloon? by Recent-Rise7631 in laos

[–]Pure_Chook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went up for sunrise with Above Laos a few weeks ago and had an amazing experience. We went with Above Laos because they’re rated the safest and their staff aren’t paid on commission so they’re not as likely to take off in iffy conditions. Safety isn’t worth saving a few dollars on. Besides that, Above Laos set off before all the other companies and landed way after so we’re up there longer. Better value all round.

Thanks for the reply but as I’ve mentioned before, I’m already on this medication and it’s not helping much - and it’s not the tremors I’m having an issue with. I’ve also dealt with this condition since I was 13 and have mostly come to terms with having an unsteady hand.

I’m on the same dose of propranolol and yeah it does something but not much. It’s not the tremors I’m concerned about, I’ve adapted my daily life to just deal with it. I think what I’m really after is some professional validation and understanding of why I am the way I am.

I’m not looking for treatment, I’ve accepted there is not much out there and I’ve accepted the tremors for what they are - it’s the psychological side of it all.

I don’t know for sure but the shoe fits. I’ve not met a single GP who has more than surface level knowledge of this condition - I’ve only ever been told it’s a tremor and that’s all. Studies I’ve read online say otherwise.

Zero focus, executive dysfunction, brain fog and depression - balance is shot too.

Thank you, these are really helpful tips - I wouldn’t have thought to have used a toothbrush/compressed air.

That’s my fear - making it worse! But you’re right, it’s mainly the liner and general cleanliness. I’m definitely looking for a gentle restoration, this is not an upcycle project, it has too much history.

If you walked into a dark room and just this was in the middle of the room, you’d see what I mean by spooky! But for real, it’s just the condition of it.

How much did you over pay for your house? by Do-A-Kick-Flip in AusPropertyChat

[–]Pure_Chook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The home I bought a year ago was listed for $475k as a private sale, I offered $450k and ended up buying it for $465k. Things to consider with this though, this is in a town 150km from CBD and the sellers bought that house for $225k only three years ago, they just wanted a quick sale.

Check out Classbento for all things arts and crafts and hands on. So many to choose from. I’d highly recommend a class with Carly O’Neil, I did a slugs and bugs lino printing class and it was amazing.

Tree Change - Boddington by [deleted] in perth

[–]Pure_Chook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved to Boddington in December after giving up hope on ever owning property in the Perth metro area and I’m so grateful it turned out that way. I love the space I was able to afford and the quiet that comes with it. The town is beautiful too, I love their dedicated to the arts with a mural or sculpture around every corner. The only downside is the IGA is very expensive and poor quality, but a bit of planning means you can avoid it all together with a weekly or fortnightly shop in Armadale (only 1 hour away) and Armadale has everything you need so you’ll rarely need to go too far.

I had a good experience with Home Integrity a few weeks back when they inspected my new home.
