And it's still not fully recovered. Emails missing, pictures and other folders still not there. I cannot log on to Bluesky ; it does not recognize my email or password and the email recovery did not work. BACK UP PEOPLE. At least I know the files are on the backup, just not installed yet.

I do not understand this. IRD came down on us like a rockfall if we made a tiny error. And fined us. These people must have hides of brass.

That's a good sandwich ❤️. We had disabled children, sudden death, and bereaved elderly parents. Not a sandwich I would choose from the cabinet for anyone, ever.

Oh dear. The expensive town houses at the end of our road are already showing signs of shitty builder. Auckland Council were falling over themselves to get them built. Consents were not adhered to and inspections were perfunctory. This will be worse.

Agree. As a very small sme, we sometimes found the contact info very useful. And occasionally we have used it to ensure we blocked a certain business. But there is scope to tighten the access up, definitely.

My daughter had a physical disability. Fine/gross motor 3rd percentile but smart and articulate. But boy, did those teachers like to punish her for not completing tasks. She still can't use scissors.

We had a very disgruntled one in the tree a few feet from our bedroom window. Must have been late summer and s/he had just been kicked out of home. Not many big trees left round here.

$15.00 for me. Plus a completely unnecessary prescription charge from May. I need eyedrops for pre-glaucoma But the GP is only allowed to prescribe 3 months at a time. 4x$35.00 just for that.

had not been at home most days to open everything the whole house would have been dripping. Sometimes, the front doormat was the warmest place, so that's where I crouched. We used our loan to get heat pump central heating, even though it meant carving up the floors. No regrets. And it's cheaper.

Yes, that's what we did. We had an old bungalow on a south facing ridge in Auckland. Heaters were unflued. We had a Rinnai with a fan in the family area, two 30 year old gas panel heaters, and the teens had fan heaters for study. We used the fireplace every Tuesday, after swimming lessons. If I 1/

Well, if you are a bottom feeder, why would we waste money on you? Isn't that what the current govt think? I can't be bothered with my age group. I'm talking to kids in retail and minimum wage workers, every chance I get.

Do you know the YouTube channel "Not Just Bikes" There is a post called Designing Urban Places that Don't Suck. That place is a good example of "don't do this".

Surprised that anyone would pay anything, and relieved tbh. We were absolutely sick of it.

Will check. Don't think I have shelved it yet There was a book of handwritten recipes from a GP in the same donation. He must have given them to the chemist to make up. They look nasty!
