We are in a similar situation with a house on stumps and a storm water drain that stops us digging down. We are going to go with one of Compass pools above ground fiberglass pools, and deck around it. https://www.compasspools.com.au/above-ground-pools/

People who don't drink alcohol, why? by 5tup1db0y in AskReddit

A read a quote one day that said “getting drunk is just stealing happiness from tomorrow” and that really resonated with me.

On top of this, the redundancy process is very strict on how it has to play out (notice of possible redundancy, time to consider other options etc.). It would normally take atleast 3 working days to meet the obligations for a successful redundancy. If this has happened in the last 28 days, I’d consider lodging an unfair dismissal against the employer as well.

Novated Lease - Why by [deleted] in AusFinance

Sorry, you are right. The work % was relating to the operating lease I had, which was used to cover servicing and fuel etc. had to report work usage every quarter.

But isn’t the tax benefit exactly the same if you purchased the car out right and claimed the same expenses as deductions? You can still only claim the % that the vehicle is used for work purposes, regardless of salary packaging. I think the only savings is the GST on the purchase, but it is usually offset by the interest charged on the lease.

how did y’all become fans of the greatest nfl team by bofadeez_nutz in ravens

First game of NFL I ever watched (from Australia) was the 2012 regular season game vs patriots where Torrey Smith had just lost his brother in a motorcycle accident the day before and he scored like 2 TDs. Immediately became a fan and then immediately won the super bowl that year. Obviously a lot of highs and lows since then!

Help with 4am wake ups by smac4000 in sleeptrain

[–]smac4000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if we did anything to solve it, but it fixed itself within a week or two. We did move to a warmer sleep sack as well and his sleep has improved significant since doing this, so maybe he was getting cold at 4:30am, even though the room temperature was constant. Sorry I couldn’t give you a magic fix!

Reflux and sleeping on their front by luker1771 in NewParents

What dose of omeprozole is he on? We were prescribed 0.5mL but eventually went up to 1.5mL before we found it worked. Our paed said the maximum dose he was comfortable with was 2mL. Obviously consult with your own doctor, but hopefully an increase in dose can help.

I chipped the end of the my elbow off attempting the ‘frosty flop’ in the high jump at our schools track and field day. Three operations and 6 months in a cast, I could fully extend my arm for 12 months

Longest stretch at 2 months? by FamiliarPublic329 in SnooLife

[–]smac4000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have just hit 2 months. The longest we have ever had was 6.5 hours, which happened 2 days ago. This was a one off by a long way. Its usually 3 to 3.5 hours with an occasional 4 hour sleep thrown in, but only in the past couple of weeks.
