Last Notes npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Ohhh! How bloody wonderful that you got to meet Priya and Nades. Say hello to them from chilly old Melbs (if you're still there!). I'm so pleased they're doing well. A shameful time for this country, but thankfully a great outcome. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando #Samsung have just utterly destroyed anything that was good about the #SmartWatch health app. The entire reason I bought it - for monitoring my heart rate - is no longer readable. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando My very clever 24yo goddaughter (self-proclaimed; she likes the title, never been christened or baptised, god forbid!) in London just sent me this. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando This is what frustrates me about #Mastodon npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando This is quite good npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando I remember when this was first suggested as a way to reduce the risk of #LongCOVID and my question then (as now) is - how does metformin impact people who aren't diabetic? I'll need to do a bit of a search. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Possibly, but I think many of the sudden deaths are MIs due to blood clots, so unless you're taking aspirin or something stronger, not sure it will make a difference. There's also some evidence around arrythmias causing sudden death as well. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando You can make all the lifestyle changes you want, but they won't stop #COVIDHeart npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando At a new GP practice (the old one literally threw his arms in the air and said I don't know what else to do, so...yeah). Anyway, huge big air filter in the corner of the waiting room. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Was thinking about this earlier. I think that some of this comes from social media. On many sites, you can't use the words death or died - your post gets blocked or banned or whatever. That started on twitter years ago and has spread. So, not fully to blame, but I think some of it is due to that. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando I can't stand hearing his voice, so I always have him on mute, and didn't realise, haha! npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Person running this important meeting keeps saying IMPORDANT. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando No, sinus. Was moving a bit when 103, then sat down and it plummeted. I just have no idea anymore. Currently have monitor on so hopefully it was captured. Making it difficult to move or do much, have to say. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando It was just a matter of time before it became a fully fledged dictatorship, really. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Hello! npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Watching America march head-long into a #dictatorship has been interesting viewing for outsiders. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Our CEO just put this message in the teams chat. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando I was thinking the same myself. I cared for the dad (with ALS) of a friend in the UK a few years ago and he attempted to fly to Switzerland for VAD, but sadly left it too late. He died an awful, awful death. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Oh. We knew it wouldn't be too long, but still, a very sad day. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Like many people in here, I give regularly to a couple of charities. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando If you're on @npub1qhc…gwhs - which has been a bit of a cesspool lately - and need some inspiration and joy in your life (right?) I highly recommend you follow @nycmayor and @zorankmamdani npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando ....or....or....just not waste $140k, for starters!! npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando 'Arvo! npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando This is the dumbest, most stupid waste of money I've seen in some time. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Anyone else used or currently using the #HeartBug monitoring system? I'd be keen to hear your thoughts. I've found some significant issues with it, and would like to compare notes. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Oh, really? Because a certain other country is included? npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Is it just me? npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/116/532/256/256/703/208/original/20aa25847f312481.png npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Oh, you'll laugh....so, finally heard from them today, went to their address, waited in the car 20mins for them to come out (!!) got the parcel. Yay! npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando I'm sorry!!! It was lovely last week! Hope you brought the winter woolies with you. 🥶❄️🧥 npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando You try to do the right thing....I fcking hate people. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Yeah, that would be #SNOW in the hills about 80kms outside Melbourne. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Morning! Yes!! The ads, oh my god, 4 out of every 5 posts is an advert, and they are definitely becoming more bizarre as well. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando So, I posted something on Instagram, which I very, very rarely do, and tagged it at Sydney airport. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Soooo, I put the complaint to Advertising Standards on 17/4 npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando That is excellent. It really is. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Ah, gotcha! Well done, important issue to be raised. 👏 npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Of, if it's behind a paywall, then no. It's always good to have a letter published in the paper, though. Well done. What's it about? npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Oh, send a link then :-) npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Oooo, famous! Can you send a pic? npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Oh, so many good foody places around that way. Enjoy every mouthful! npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Excellent! Brunswick area, is that right? npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Victorian government announces free public transport will continue until the end of May, then half price for the rest of the year. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Just submitted a complaint to Advertising Standards. It really was horrific. Never seen anything like it. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Driving down Chapel St, Prahran today & in front of me was one of those screen advertising trucks. The adverts were for Gotham City, a brothel, known as the House of Sin. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Hi! Yep, it was. The thing I don't get are the differences. Another shop I spent $15 and it cost $15.17. They make up the surcharge to suit themselves. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Purchased something priced at $15.95 at the Prahran market just now. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Howdy! npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Going to Sydney for our conference at the end of the month. Booked flights with Qantas a few weeks back, $400 return. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Unfollowed!! 😎 npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Watching the #Artemis2 #Orion recovery and I dunno, it seems to me there would be better ways of doing it. I mean, I'm no rocket scientist, but why not lift the module out of the water onto the back of a ship - which eventually happens - and get the astronauts out then? This sea recovery seems a bit unecessary. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Ha! I think you're right. I've known her for many years and she seems to be getting worse as she gets older. Very narcissistic. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando I know, right?! npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Oh, thanks so much. Ugh, the high pitched is probably the worst, nothing can mask it. Is there anything that gives you relief from it? npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando I have a friend who regularly posts a headshot of herself on Instagram. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Gosh, that's so specific. Yes, the TV volumes are all ove the place now, you never quite know what will be next. Yes, in your head makes perfect sense - that's how I hear it as well. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Yep, I know that one. Ugh. That changing pitch thing, it's so odd. So bloody frustrating. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando It was a complete surprise, but a very pleasant one! Yep, keep it in mind. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Just for what it's worth, I had to take prednisolone for 3 days to see if it helped my sinuses. It didn't, but it completely stopped the plantar fascitis! Only need 5mg for 3 days. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Oh, that is odd. It's something that doesn't seem to have much in the way of research and very few, if any answers. So frustrating. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Yep, that's the frustrating thing about it - that fact you have a hearing loss but can hear this crap all the time!! So unfair! npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando I'm keen to learn about people living with #tinnitus npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando It's so fabulous! He's doing incredible things that are actually improving the lives of people living in #NYC npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Did you know that #Mamdani has had 100,000 pot holes in #NYC streets filled in during his first 100 days? npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Just saw the start of the 6 o'clock news, he hasn't applied for bail! Wow. What's he afraid of, then? npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Going to sleep soundly tonight, knowing that #BenRobertsSmith is having the first of what will eventually be a very, very long run of nights in prison. Utter scum. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Morning! npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Just looking at car parking at Melbourne Airport. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando I'm sorry, completely stolen from elsewhere...but really...I mean, really.... npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando I trained at RCH, where they have the annual Good Friday Appeal - huge deal, enormous. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando 😂 🤣 👏 npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando People at the supermarket, buying up big on hot cross buns. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando I've never questioned the #moon landing. I watched a small, grainy black&white TV in our classroom, as Neil Armstrong stood on the moon that July day in 1969. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Old school friend just sent a message saying Happy Good Friday. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando I'm looking for an #Immunologist who might have an interest in unusual presentations. Someone with a curious mind, shall we say. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Dodgy Qantas email? npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Wow, that is a really interesting "side effect". I am very, very pleased you've recovered from the arrest. Do you have a cause for that? npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando No, no. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando During lockdown here in Melbs, I started posting a daily message on Facebook to try to help people have a bit of a laugh. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Mgr in Teams message, after I let everyone know I'm back today. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando RE: https://ohai.social/@redsad/116285288859394247 npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando I know, right? I'm rather partial to a hospital four point box of sandwiches, as well 😉 🥪 npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando I know! I'm now home but still didn't get anything to eat before I left. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Still waiting on "a plan" before I can be discharged. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Yes, well. She got a 12 lead then deleted it, apparently 🤷♀️ npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Heart rate of 135. Called nurse in to capture it. She didn't. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Not much! Bloods, CXR. Not much they can do, really. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Bit of string from the air conditioner! npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Lying in a Melbourne hospital emergency bed. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Yep, save your cash. Also, If I had legs....was tedious and awful. Rose was ok but the movie was awful. I tried to watch Sinners and just couldn't. Ugh. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Apparently, it's Channel!! Just bizarre! npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Oh, and also....I thought that #OneBattleAfterAnother #OBAA was AWFUL. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Oh wait, WHAT. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Because I'm not taking any notice of any news, I'm quite heavily invested in the #Oscars npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Ah, that's crap. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Can a Senator do that?? npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Oh, dear god.... npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Wait. What?! npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando Just got an email back from #Aldi "customer service", saying they were informed I'd returned the product. npub1hpe6lp6nexwz4g68mf5lw44n3sg00euvxeymm3v8h9qjdwvql22qqev47a kaffando I know, right? I guess they're not trained in any form of customer service at #Aldi. 🤷♀️
