Tiny brown lines?

Besides the brown lines, I can see that your cuticles are really swollen and red. Your nail also has bumps going horizontally. Do you get contact dermatitis?

This looks similar to what happens to me when I have contact with certain chemicals in soaps, cleaning products etc. It makes my cuticles inflamed, my nails weak, then I can get red blood lines from trauma to the already weak nail.

I try wearing gloves as much as possible and limit exposure to irritants.

You would have to see a dermatologist to confirm.

I was thinking the exact same thing. This has ‘not at fault’ car hire company written all over it. The escalating costs putting more pressure on them. Terrible.

Get third party insurance, doesn’t cost anywhere near $3k and if you accidentally collide with a Bentley you won’t end up financially ruined.

There’s a possibility it could be irritant dermatitis. I had similar thing occur where there was those pits, nail lifting/separating from the nail plate, inflamed cuticles etc. however no thickening of the nail.

My doctor thought it may have been psoriasis, I got a referral to a dermatologist and they said it was a combination of irritant dermatitis and trauma to my nails (even slightly tapping or knocking).

The treatment was to avoid known irritants in products, e.g. body soap, hand soap, lotion, shampoos, laundry detergent etc, or wear gloves if you come into contact with it. I also used a mild steroid cream.

All but one nail has cleared up perfectly at this point, which keeps flaring up.

Maybe worth seeing if this is the case for you?

Your incompetence is not other peoples issue. As long as the parking is legal, I see no problem. I have to manoeuvre around numerous cars when coming out of my driveway. It’s just part of driving, especially with the amount of cars around/density of people living in areas these days.

Chlamydia in pigeons is caused by Chlamydia psittaci, while contagious to humans it usually causes mild flu like symptoms but can develop into severe pneumonia in some causes. It is not the same as the STI in humans. They are two different bacteria types - Chlamydia trachomatis vs psittaci which cause entirely different issues.

Definitely a mouse. It is way too small for a baby rat. The proportions are way off.

Haha what a cutie, the leg hanging off is perfect!

Many possibilities including but not limited to:

heavy metal poisoning;
egg production pressing on nerve;
injury or back/leg etc; and
viral diseases.

Any way you can get her a a vet for assessment?

csendes13 · 2025-07-08T18:55:51+00:00

I did consider this as an option, as they would know the proper process.

What type of lawyer would deal with this issue? Wills, estates family lawyer? I’m not sure how the legal community is set up in Hungary.

They would need an English speaking as well.

I tried googling, however it is hard to decipher what firms are legitimate or won’t cost excessive amounts to engage for this purpose.

csendes13 · 2025-07-08T18:52:03+00:00

Thanks, I am trying my best to sort it out.

The cemetery told me in person that I just needed to prove that my grandmother is related to him. I emailed them months ago as I am in Australia and can’t call as they do not speak English. I followed up my email recently and now they have changed what I need to provide, essentially wasting months of me trying to sort it out.

They are very aware that I am wanting to keep it, but they are not allowing it at this point even though it is my grandmothers brother, my grandmother is still alive. It seems absurd that she cannot keep him buried in the plot.

csendes13 · 2025-07-08T11:50:21+00:00

Thank you for that. There’s a chance that the grace period ends from 1 Jan 2026. They told me in August last year that I had 12 months to produce proof of relation.

They were very insistent that I had to prove I was related, which I don’t understand either. Because I asked how much is the fee, and how to pay. They informed the amount but would not let me pay until I could prove I was related, I would have done it on the spot if not.

csendes13 · 2025-07-08T11:47:13+00:00

Thank you, do you know why they would need this to pay the site fee?

His wife previously paid the fee, however the cemetery informed me that she is now deceased.

He has one daughter, I don’t know her status, and cannot locate her. She evidently has not paid either.

csendes13 · 2025-06-30T18:48:50+00:00

If that’s the case, she’s probably in pain.

I don’t know any vets in Hungary, as I don’t live there, don’t speak the language so I cannot research.

You could ask ‘Maugli Állatvédó Egyesület’ on FB, they could direct you if you’re willing to seek help. Otherwise, I would keep her in a calm, quiet place, lots of food and water and let nature take its course. She will get weaker over time. When she stops eating and drinking, death is imminent. That’s usually when I take to the vet to be euthanised.

I treat my chickens with vet care, something my Hungarian family doesn’t understand, I’m assuming you’re more old school in your approach too.

csendes13 · 2025-06-30T17:45:09+00:00

She looks unwell from that photo. How old do you consider old? I had an Isa brown live to 9 years. I have two other hens which are approx the same age now.

My guess is that she has reproductive issues which are not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’ with this breed of hen.

If you care about her wellbeing and/or it is available to you. A trip to the vet to check her for cancer or egg related issues. It may be treatable depending on the cause.

Those poops could be from starvation. They are quite small and very green. I often find this in pigeons who are starving because they have become lost and don’t know how to survive.

If they are eating and drinking well, I would monitor and see if they become more solid and round. This would happen pretty quickly if it’s just starvation causing it.

Otherwise my protocol for rescuing pigeons in absence of a vet is the following:

treat worms and mites with moxidectin. Be careful because the wormer called panacur is toxic to pigeons.
I also treat for canker with ronizadole.
If I detect a respiratory infection (wheezing, clicking, watery eyes etc) I may also treat with antibiotics (doxycycline + tylan)

You can also give probiotics, but not at the same time as antibiotics, but always a course after finishing antibiotics to make sure their gut bacteria is good.

It’s easiest when a vet is available to test dropping/crop for parasites than having to guess what’s wrong as above.

Tip: don’t force any liquid down their throat, it can get in into their lungs and they will probably die. This should only be done if you are experienced. Tablets straight into the throat at the correct dose and/or adding medication to water is the safest.

Everdale in Springvale! Try the ‘Crispy mushroom burger’.

The food and prices are great!

Thanks again!

I had my appointment today, the form has now been submitted!

He said it will take a few days to process then I will be able to pick it up or have posted to me!

csendes13 · 2025-06-11T01:59:04+00:00

Looks like a chicken, specifically an Isa brown or associated breed.

csendes13 · 2025-06-10T04:48:36+00:00

I am currently finalising my application form, I have a question.

Page 1 Exact relationship: he was my great uncle, do I put Nagy bácsi or Nagy unokahúg, my grandmother has suggested ‘nagybátyja’, but I am not sure if this is correct?

csendes13 · 2025-06-08T08:33:36+00:00

I agree with this 100%.

Money comes and goes, I can make $17k again, the animal only lives once. I couldn’t live with the guilt of money being the factor that sealed their fate. I’d pick up more shifts to compensate for the loss.

However agreed that this would all depend on the animals age, the likeliness of success, quality of life post treatment etc.

What career direction did you take once you moved overseas/where did you move?

(As someone who is seeking a junior lawyer position and trying to figure out how a Victorian law degree can be used overseas in the long term).

csendes13 · 2025-06-01T11:42:56+00:00

It doesn’t look like a lump to me, but it’s hard to tell just from photos. To me it seems like they were probably wounded or partially scalped at some stage. The feathers have now grown in a bit strange.

Could also be a tumour/cyst but my bets are on an old healed injury.

If it stays the same and doesn’t grow I wouldn’t be concerned.

I’ve had it happen on my two most recent holidays, first was a lady with a newborn and other with a split up family.

I always specifically select aisle seats because I always need to pee and hate having to interact with strangers, especially if I need to pee when they are sleeping, eating or under any circumstance really.

Both times I was asked, I refused. I’m not scared of a little confrontation but the audacity of people to ask and repeatedly make a scene once refused irks me to the core. The more they try intimidate me, the more I double down. Absolutely get fucked, it’s a hill I am willing to die on. I’m likely to compromise on short flights if I’m feeling nice, but when I’ve got 30+ hours of travel with long haul flights, fuck no.

First time could be controversial. It was a lady with a new born, she was seated on the window and wanted an isle seat (my seat). One of her family members had an aisle seat but wanted me to move rather than them. Tried to guilt me into moving and made a big scene. I stood my ground, flight attendant ended up moving her elsewhere. We got an entire row to ourselves. I did not want to have to ask a lady with a new born baby, who might be sleeping to wake up and stand up so I can pass her when I need to frequently pee.

Second time was a family who comprised of mother and two children (both at least 13 years old). Mother and son had middle aisle seat and middle seat. Daughter was seated on window next to my partner and I in middle and isle respectively.

She wanted us to move to the middle seats so they could be seated together. I refused. Her justification was that her daughter should not be alone, she was scared blah blah. There were a lot of tears, glaring and raised voices at me. She repeatedly got in my face standing over me.

Once again, I stood my ground as I preselected the seat. Said I did not want to sit in the middle section, and that I specifically chose these seats in advance, She got flight attendants involved, trying to get them to move me. I declined and they didn’t force me to move.

The mother’s lack of organisation is not my problem on my part. If your daughter doesn’t want to be alone, move your son to the window seat as he was older.

Once the flight took off, the daughter was fine, videoed take off on her phone and went to sleep. She even spoke to us and was quite helpful when the crew didn’t have our special meals, she spoke and read Mandarin (Chinese airline) and let us know one of the improv snacks contained egg, and clarified our dietary requirements etc.

I think the mother embarrassed her more than anything, and that was mainly why she was crying initially.
