I didn’t end up taking the restavit because it expired last month… debating whether to take it tonight anyway and get a fresh box on Monday.

I’m sick of the sleeping pattern I’m stuck in. I do wake up but can’t seem to get up or do anything and end up going back to sleep.

that cunt , didn't he refuse the vaccine from pfizer , making us wait at least another year just so his corrupt mates could profit

[–] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes. They haggled over the price, turned it down and let us deal with the strollout.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

wasn't it free

but that meant none of scomo's mates could make a profit

I could be misremembering. But on checking ‘unnamed sources’ claimed that a representative got belligerent and haggled over the price. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/10/stuffed-how-australias-unconscionable-gamble-on-covid-vaccines-backfired

But yeah either way they did discuss it and refused the deal

Mate, you didn’t do anything.

Very undeserving.

When I trim my nails, I trim too close to the cuticle and end up getting an infection.

I have one now and the antibiotics are giving me a nasty headache.

Goodnight all :)

[–] SituationCake@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

I’m not sure what this means because the cuticle is the thicker skin stuff between the bottom of the nail and finger? Do you just mean the skin gets nicked because you cut too much off the top? You could try washing/disinfecting the nail scissors or clippers. Bacteria might be living on them that keeps reinfecting any nicks each time you do your nails. Order of operation is wash hands, disinfect clippers, then trim nails. Hopefully that prevents any further instances!
