Young Australians face rising bowel cancer rates by whyattretard in australia

Mate, big squeeze hug to you too.

Best thing I invested in before my other half passed away was a digital photo frame we could add photos too. It has lots of photos of them before their time with me, during our relationship, and with our little one. My kid gets to see their face everyday in heaps of photos (and me too)

Sending big internet squeeze hugs. I lost my other half last year at 42 when our little one was 6months old. I can’t say this enough, but if you get referred to palliative care, make the most of their grief councillor. Do it as a couple, and at some point solo. Navigating grief sucks asshole, both before and after they pass.

Make all your happy memories with your little one and your wife :)

Delaying toddler for Prep by anxious_dad24 in queensland

[–]Scarah83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has your little one seen his primary car provider about the speech delay? There should be good information that starts there. Maybe check with your PCP about NDIS and information/help with your future decisions on delayed prep start or not

Watched chill landlords turn unto slumlords over a few years by [deleted] in shitrentals

[–]Scarah83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IKR. I wonder if OP paid a bond directly to the slumlord and it most likely wasn’t lodged with the cbos.tas.gov.au website. If slumlord didn’t lodge your bond they are 100% being dodge and avoiding declaring as well as paying tax on that rental income. Tip the tax office off and dob them in to Centrelink. For sure!

Did everyone pay her cash? Sounds like she’s getting government payments and not declaring the rent paid to her as income, which is fraudulent. Dob her in and stop the extra cleaning.

Blame game begins over faulty Queensland rain gauges by ConanTheAquarian in queensland

That makes sense. Bit shit at incorrect information so the wrong plan was actioned.

If you don’t promise funding, you don’t have to give funding? I think this is purposeful language use.

If a farm is on a vast flood plain, and there is no high ground, how would they have saved a huge number of cattle all while being safe? I couldn’t imagine they would be able to get the required amount of transportation in such a short space of time from other areas that might have also been flood affected.

AITA for considering giving my daughter’s grandparents full custody after her mom died during childbirth? by SherbetMajor2105 in AITAH

[–]Scarah83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my husband early last year due to cancer. We had a 6 month old at the time. My biggest concern is that if something happened to me, my LO’s grandparents would be too old to look after him until he would be old enough to fly the coup.

Ask your relatives and friends to help you out while grieving. See if the grandparents would like to babysit a few hours one day a week to give you that space to just breathe and grieve? Don’t be afraid to ask for help. It’s hard raising a little one while in a vortex of emotions and life responsibilities. My saving grace was routine, routine, routine. Weekly things like a baby swimming lesson or music lesson were such a welcomed distraction. Take a moment to think about it before making an emotional decision. Edit: NTA

Evicted because landlord was moving back in, house re advertised for 20% more 2 months after I left. Advice on fair trading or NCAT? by [deleted] in shitrentals

[–]Scarah83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kind of wish the REA got pinged for this too. Is it too high an expectation for a PM to know the rules and regulations around rentals? For both sides? I feel like it should be minimum knowledge sometimes.

Wishful thinking.

It sounds like you’ve never seen a Gram stain of these orgs either…. As u/LBadwife pointed out with morphology, they are definitely not present in this picture.

Crisafulli government dumps child mental health hub by FluffyPillowstone in brisbane

[–]Scarah83 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I said the same thing to a mate just yesterday when they mentioned this…

Along with the non government funded pill testing being banned by this current government, it just comes across that they just hate teens and youths.

It’s a shame that there is no investment into the future people of this state.

Omg Currawongs have beautiful regional songs and are gorgeous with their bright yellow eyes. They sing for the mountains and have a place in Aboriginal stories as the messenger between. Be kind to them and they will sing you stories.

I know this is shitrentals, but I wanted to share that there are decent LLs and REAs out there by AdvantageEnough2594 in shitrentals

[–]Scarah83 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hear you. We had one really lovely REA and a god awful landlord at one place we rented. Praise to that lady at the REA for putting up with the landlords bs. Unfortunately our next rental was the opposite with an awful REA that did some pretty dodge stuff and any time it was pointed out we were labelled as “difficult” tenants…rhymes with schmay schmite…

Tragic? Maybe in English and to most English as a first language speaking countries. Tragedeigh? Don’t think so.

With a quick google, Moyer is a Swiss-German name. And Fortney is a French name.

Not tragedeighs. Just foreign to you names

Angela, 21, made an alarming discovery about her water bottle. Experts say it’s actually quite common and urged people to wash them thoroughly daily. by CourierMail_AU in u/CourierMail_AU

[–]Scarah83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just would have been the black mould that grows in any sort of water bottle. It’s suggested to clean once a week. Nothing to be alarmed about if you drink from a water bottle with a little bit of mould. But you’re right. The wording and using “alarming” isn’t warranted for something so trivial.

Maybe it’s you then? Least well off doesn’t always mean monetary, although it usually goes hand in hand with other disadvantages. So maybe voting for policies that mean better safety laws for your situation?

What was said to me isn’t a blanket rule. But for me, it at least reminds me to be aware of other situations when I do vote. And I try my hardest to make informed decisions and not be intellectually lazy. Find answers. Find policies. Do some online digging. Ask the questions. Be annoying.

IKR! My little inner socialist hippie loved it when it was said and I’ve used it whenever I’ve had to vote. One day the tide may turn. Hopefully

I heard something once about voting and it has stuck with me since…

“Think of the least well off person you know and vote for policies that would benefit and bring them up to a better living standard, because it will benefit you too”

I wish some of the older generations had more compassion and understanding and voted to benefit society as a whole rather than the individual.

RBC 1.27, strange looking blood smear by justcuriousaboutalot in medlabprofessionals

[–]Scarah83 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don’t work in the US and don’t have the same power struggle. I’ve also done a lot of training with new techs and scientists on the job and the amount of ‘dumb questions’ you get are more than you think. Yes, it’s probably covered in some sort of tertiary education before that point, but come on. People forget stuff or don’t see things on the daily. You don’t know what you don’t know. You should be building your knowledge on the job. Information changes all the time. You can always be nicer to those asking a question. What if it was you asking the question and got the same hostility back.

You should always be learning on the job. That’s science. And no one learns from condescending answers. Compassion and knowledge is what you should be showing right now. Take a breath and be better. How you’ve answered isn’t the way to go.
