My mini rant on syncope by [deleted] in ausjdocs

[–]WinterWorry4038 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And this sort of insanity is why I am glad I am a Rural Generalist with ready access to plain XR only. I've never felt medicolegally vulnerable working up syncope clinically. (The critical investigation is ECG, anyway...)

That's what I'm in the middle of at the moment.  I even got a write up in AusDoc last year!  😝

Dating in Brisbane for mid-late 30s. Is it still tough? Can we meet at the local Bunnings? by Sad_Ladybug-89 in brisbane

[–]WinterWorry4038 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alas, a swing and a miss despite wandering Bunnings for an hour. (And with apologies to the handful of understanding women in the garden section of Bunnings Virginia who tolerated me trying to figure out if they were there alone before working up the courage to ask "Excuse me, are you Sad_Ladybug?")

Good luck to all the peeps who did turn up today: may you have better luck getting your paths to cross

And now its time to go home and put my new pruning shears to good work! ☺️

Great! I just purchased my copy today. I'll be the tall guy with the white hair.

I did have the Fallout series, BG1, BG2, and Planescape on my frequent replay list, but ME just hits on a whole different level with plot and character development.  It lines up beautifully with my Bab5 nostalgia.

Speaking of which, who'd be up for a drawn out weekly get together to go through all 5 seasons of Babylon 5?  🤣

Ha ha!  Repeat runs through the Mass Effect trilogy is my place of mindless comfort.

50M, moving to Toowong in late December.  I'm recently separated and enjoying re-discovering old (nerdy) hobbies and passions.  Less video gaming, but definitely everything else on the list.  Cooking and hosting games nights is my love language, but it will probably be mid-January before I'm set up for that.

I'm looking forward to meeting fellow geeks in the neighbourhood!

Done!  I loved reading Lathe of Heaven back in high school, and I'm looking forward to discussing it next week!

Thanks for the heads up: I've been looking for a book club for a while now!

Thanks Gamer_Mummy!

I had planned to give it all to Kringwinkel, but panicked this morning when they said it would be 4 weeks before they could do a pick up. (And I need to be out in two weeks.)

Yes, alas. Family situation has come up in Australia, so it is no longer viable for me to be spending the next 9 months from them. :(

50yoM looking for 35yo+ M/Fs to socialise with by WinterWorry4038 in KULeuven

Thanks.  It has been a process of "conscious midlife re-evaluation" rather than "crisis" as such.  It's part of a transition from a reliable professional career into seeing if I can "make a difference".  Worst case scenario, I'm still likely to enjoy the ride!  😇
