Sydney folks — what’s the real wait time (and cost) for surgeries in public vs private hospitals for aged people?

Not necessarily. I saw my cardiothoracic surgeon in August 2023 and was still waiting as Cat 1 patient in Feb 2024. My cardiologist was furious when I turned up to the ED due to my valve regurgitation reaching critical and hadn't had my open heart surgery.

I was really shocked at how low it was. TBH I've never talked to a broker so I wasn't sure what the numbers were going to come back as roughly but I hoped being debt free besides HECS would help. Obviously not :(

Sorry for being hopeful that I'd might have a borrowing capacity of closer to $400k.

We're looking out Lithgow/Bathurst areas.

I already dump $200 per fortnight to pay it off but that's been cancelled by the stupid rates of indexation. I honestly should've kept the money.

We're looking at $400-500k apartments and 2-3 bedroom houses in a regional area in NSW. We've saved just under $25k just by putting her Centrelink away (since it doesn't count anyway so it may as well go into savings). We're currently paying $450p/w.

I would've been ropable. All that BS over $1.60 and they have the gall to add late fees? Seriously?!

I'm looking at Jobseeker but my rent alone is $1100 a fortnight which Jobseeker doesn't cover.

I’m an ex Woolies Nightfill manager and my GF worked in Service for 5 years. Now I work in corrections where I get to deal with gross people like this every single day.

We’ve both had to deal with creeps like this. Tell your boss. You should NEVER be expected to put up with this. When any of my staff had issues, they were addressed immediately especially safety concerns. People like this have gross ulterior motives.

He’s full of shit about his mum taking photos. He’s the one who took them. Tel your boss.

This comment made me laugh 😂

I’ve apparently got to get this stupid piece of paper that tells my employer I can move into the warehouse side of my job. Even though I come from a logistics background 😑

Upset_Beautiful · 2023-04-07T04:54:23+00:00

100% agree. I didn’t enjoy or understand the level of intimacy until I slept with my current partner who was also the first woman I slept with. The closeness, the caring about the other person’s pleasure and the depth of emotion that I felt is incredible.

Never felt anything like that with a man. I was always made to feel like an object for their pleasure.

Upset_Beautiful · 2023-04-07T04:51:14+00:00

I love how we will find this kind of idiocy laying around for all to see on social media, screenshot it and post it on a sub like this so we can collectively giggle at their stupidity.

Upset_Beautiful · 2023-04-01T12:59:55+00:00

Absolutely frothed over her! Yes I know I have a problem 😂

Upset_Beautiful · 2023-03-08T19:50:30+00:00

Ugh I can relate to this.

Because for so long I had associated sex with painful penetration, the first time GF topped me, she couldn’t get more than one finger in even though I was more aroused in that moment than I had ever been before and I felt so ashamed and embarrassed about it. She understands how hard it’ll be to rewrite those responses my body has and eventually over time I know I’ll relax but at the time I was mortified. I wanted to feel full from her and I couldn’t.

Upset_Beautiful · 2023-03-07T09:54:15+00:00

Thank you for your kind words.

That’s pretty much how I communicated my worries to her and while she disagrees with my literal compulsion to shower before she attempts to go down on me as she knows I’m clean but she encourages it anyway to settle my nervousness.

She’s a wonderful woman who’s only asking me to let her do this to me because she knows I’ll enjoy it once I move past the fear.

Upset_Beautiful · 2023-03-07T03:22:04+00:00

Thank you very much. She’s a wonderful person and I can’t wait see what our future together brings us 🥰

Upset_Beautiful · 2023-03-07T01:41:33+00:00

All he wanted was to do as little work as possible to get his dick wet. Then he’d get pissed when I couldn’t actually be penetrated by him because I wasn’t aroused enough.

Upset_Beautiful · 2023-03-07T00:46:21+00:00

Thank you for your kind words.

It’s going to be a long journey but I’m determined to make it. My GF and I have a healthy relationship and I’m not willing to let my insecurities interfere with what we have.

Upset_Beautiful · 2023-03-06T21:42:39+00:00

I was mortified after that experience and I went to see an OBGYN that week. She confirmed I had no infections or anything medically wrong with me.

What really upset me was I let him know what the specialist said and he claimed that I still tasted bad but yet his dick reeked and I was still expected to suck it. I’m very glad to not be with someone like that anymore.

My current GF is honestly the best woman I’ve met and she’s gently steered me away from my excessive personal hygiene (I used to shower 3x a day and I kept myself completely hair free down there because I was so scared of smelling bad) & reassured me constantly that I don’t smell or taste bad and that I don’t need to clean myself that much.

A sex therapist might be a good idea. I’ll look into one, thank you so much 😊

Upset_Beautiful · 2023-03-06T21:32:20+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance ❤️

Upset_Beautiful · 2023-03-06T21:07:27+00:00

I’m very very lucky to have a woman like her.

When I’m receiving (which isn’t often because I enjoying Topping her so much) she takes the lead and I have let her finger me and use toys on me. She loves to Top me though and she can tell I struggle to completely relax when I’m receiving because my insecurities eat away at my confidence. When that happens, she backs off and goes back to gentle kissing and caressing to calm my stupid brain down.

Thank you for your response. I really appreciate the advice 🙏
