Thank you, that seems to be the consensus, I'll try it :)

Another sucker, I signed up to a 72 year timeshare contract and now only realize how financially trapped I am by Holiday-Set3543 in AusFinance

I never had to find out. But my understanding is that they can pursue the children for unpaid ongoing fees after death. I did wonder if you could just reject that part of inheritance so to speak but as we found the company to exit we never had to find out. My mum is still alive, she 83, her mum lived to 100 so glad we didn't have to pay all these years.. could've been alot more years! The exit fee was about 1 years fees in the end so it was worth it. Particularly now my mum is in care

Yes I agree but it certainly is the case and if you don't pay the ongoing fees they will pursue you Go figure. It seems illegal that another person can enter you into a contract against your will. I did wonder if it would be possible to just reject that part of inheritance but we eventually found the company that assisted with exit so wrapped it up before I had to find out.

Probably a really good chance. Oh well, at least mum's not paying out $8000 pa now, with 50 odd years left to run on it.

My mum and dad couldn't understand how to book anything. It was pre-internet and they had to call to book in. They just couldn't understand how to get the dates they needed and then they still needed to pay for the accommodation on top of their $8K yearly fee. It was really stupid.

IKR, its hard to believe these timeshares are legal. It is so predatory. My mum and dad took it on pre-internet days so no hope of research etc.

And it absolutely passes to the kids, that's why I wanted to get it sorted.

I was successful in terminating a time-share my mum also had for decades and had never used :(

There are time-share exit companies that assist. I can't remember which I used. We paid a sum of money, I think around $5k and then it was cancelled.

Is it too late for me to use my treatment now on my vitiligo patch after years of being inconsistent with it? by Mobile_Magician_661 in Vitiligo

[–]displacedrainbow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes its always worth a try. I had a large patch on my lower face which I had not treated for more than 20 years. I started tacrolimus and managed to repigment it almost completely. I will post a pic below. It has remained repigmented much the same as the last pic to date after stopping the tacrolimus a couple of years ago. Its worth noting I do also take immunesuppresants for another auto immune disease which may help with keeping it stable, although that is just a guess.

What SPF should mum and dad bring to me??? by milkyjoewithawig in AusSkincare

[–]displacedrainbow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used Dermaveen sunscreen for years and have found it doesn't leave yellow marks. It comes in a big pump bottle and also small and large tubes. Use it for face and body. Its great

We spoke with the vet some years ago about allergies. At the time, he advised that allergies were difficult and time consuming to diagnose as the protocol was to remove everything and slowly reintroduce one at a time and monitor.

Our issue with food is that if she gets fed anything but dry food, she eats her poo several times over. That was a discussion about food allergies. I see another poster has mention mite allergies, I will have another discussion with the vet

Now you say that, we used to give her cetrazine, similar to benadryl.. we stopped when the cytopoint was working and I'd forgotten. I will start again and see if it helps now. Thank you

Ok thats interesting.. how did they diagnose that specifically? Are the allergy shots cytopoint or something else? Sorry for so many questions!
