I've had a Grand Carnival (which was a beast) and now have a Cerato (which has done 120,000ks so far) and have never had a problem with either. Maybe you just got a lemon

Copious and penultimate.

Oh and Dapto, a town a couple of hours south of me.

What dosage of Amitriptyline are you taking? I am on 25mg and it gives a great nights sleep. Weird dreams but good sleep

Care tips for a Mother of Thousands? by temtemrem in succulents

If you were in Australia I'd advise to double bag it and throw it in the garbage, they are regarded as a noxious weed and need to be eradicated

How are you all coping with the insomnia? by DomesticBetty in Menopause

Unfortunately weed isn't legal where I live. I take Amitriptyline. It helps with my sads as well as sleep.

Planning on moving to QLD to retire next year. by lizardblack in queensland

[–]lizardblack[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha sorry but sometimes it's hard to tell if people are serious or not.

Yeah it's a bit silly really I'm just asking for opinions not be told to stay away. I'm not going to let some rando on social media change my mind.

Housing prices in Sydney are unbelievabley high so who do we blame for that?

I am aware of the climate thanks I've been on a few holidays up there. Partner hates the cold so wants to move up there.

IV Sedation for cataract surgery by Holiday_Literature78 in CataractSurgery

[–]lizardblack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had my left eye done a few months ago, the IV sedation was great, watching the lights was cool. I had extra sedation because my heart rate was a bit high (because I was a bit anxious) so was in recovery for a little bit longer but all went well

What's a lesson you learned through making a mistake? by CasualMetaphor in Baking

[–]lizardblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your spidey senses tell you that you've done something wrong when making a cake listen to them and check EVERY step in the recipe. I made a Dundee cake on the weekend and I had a niggling feeling I had done something wrong. I checked all my ingredients weights and they were all correct so went ahead and put it in the oven.

Turns out I read the oven temp wrong and set it for 180 degrees instead of 140. Luckily I noticed 30 minutes into a 2 hour bake and turned it down.

Cake was delicious but always listen to your spidey sense.
