  1. Sarcoidosis, especially if heart and /or nervous system affected
  2. Your idea of preparing for a bushfire and mine are hugely different Here preparing for a bushfire means checking your fire survival plan. Which includes Preparing your property. Checking pumps and hoses Going over to neighbours and checking what they will be doi g in a fire Making sure you know where important documents are Notifying relatives if your plan will be to stay and defend or leave All of this is done every year by just about every rural Aussie before summer
  3. Nope. We don't argue like that. We have never sworn at each other. We don't swear. I absolutely hate arguments. I find them incredibly stressful. So avoid them at. Doesn't mean we don't disagree on things. We have mostly calm discussions , With some crying occasionally. Sometimes, occasionally we have even researched out point of views. Then we tend to avoid each other for a few days and both become more and more miserable until neither of us can stand it anymore. At the moment I have been told by medical specialists to avoid any stress, including disagreements. It takes too much energy to be even cross at the moment.
  4. Huge hugs Sending positive thoughts
  5. What about buying a piece of hardwood. Getting one of your kids to sand it and oil it with olive oil. I made a hardwood chopping board at high school . We finished it with olive oil. Easy to re apply when needed I got my kids to make one each as part of their woodwork for homeschooling
  6. You could sand off the surface off a Wooden board and use olive oil to resurface. Mine is native Blackwood. But I live in the bush where that type of wood is available.
  7. I forgot to add I have a marble board, for pastry making
  8. heavy plastic. 3 different colours. red for cutting meat, White for veggies and a small yellow one for cheese. I also have a wooden one that I use to use for bread when I made bread
  9. A ct scan of the artories. Medically lowering blood pressure and dilating artories then have dye for the scan. The whole thing apparently takes 3 hours Not sure of any of the spelling
  10. I guess same idea as the nurses in Call the Midwife. There are infant welfare nurses that check babies and district nurses who check on people in the community with chronic illness. None of them deliver babies though. They do have cars but they don't take people to medical appointments. This incredible angel lady is accompanying me on her day off. she works part time. Though a bike ride on a bike like ET had with a district nurse would be cool
  11. Thank you thank you Thank you I have a medical scan in Melbourne in 2 weeks. It will involve lowering my blood pressure and widening artories. I was scared to go by myself, cause I don't know what condition I would be in afterwards. Dh and I hadn't worked out a solution Then out of the blue just now a person I met well over 10 years ago from a homeschool meeting rang me. She has since become a district nurse. She heard I was ill, and rang to offer to take me to Melbourne for a medical appointment. Can you believe it. You prayed for someone who has a car to drive me You prayed for it to be a homeschool mum Did you pray for a nurse too? Thank you so so much for your prayers ❤️❤️❤️❤️
  12. So glad to hear you and baby are ok How scary
  13. Was just about to post the same thing I think there was found to be a connection for WorkCover reasons. I think I have read something about another similar cluster with radio equipment and the USA military
  14. Are they giving him those food replacement energy drink mineral thingys?
  15. I made a lining from some linen fabric I had, and attached the flowers to each other and to the lining. I didn't want the whole thing to sag. It is also very fitted.
  16. I tried it on and twin one said "I hope you are not thinking of wearing that outside of the house" In a very disapproving tone 🤣😂🤣
  17. The 2 large towns , one a small city I guess.( Plus all the satellite towns around the small city town) where we usually go shopping still have no power. The estimated time of power restoration is the 17 th. The main front of strong wind went just below us, out into the ocean I still can't believe we didn't even lose power
