Things that please me - Part 5

[Gralin]

Yeah not sure why anyone would buy a suit and not have it tailored. Seems bizarre.

Money
Time
Laziness
Ignorance

I know the medical system in our country gets a bad wrap but the last couple of weeks has shown how good we have it.

My wife's hairdresser found a spot on her scalp 2 weeks ago on a Saturday. We were able to get her into a GP appointment first thing on the Monday, referral straight to a dermatologist and appointment booked in on the Tuesday.

Dermatologist found a couple of other spots which she wasn't happy with so booked in a biopsy on the Friday.

Results the following Tuesday and appointment with a plastic surgeon to remove the spots on the Wednesday and now booked in for surgery this coming Monday.

All done in just over two weeks.

I know this isn't everyone's experience with our medical system but I shudder to think what would happen if we lived in the states and how much it would cost us.

I can't fault it at the moment, I had a doctor's appointment on a Monday morning, he told me to get a EKG, which I did 20 mins later, doctor had the results next day and called me and told me I had to see a cardiologist and he had already booked a appointment me for the next morning, no one believes me how quick it all happened

I reckon the Australian health system is one of, if not the best in the world. I could get a bulk billing doctor's appointment tomorrow. A free blood test result within a day or two. We also have affordable private health schemes.

In the US the free care would be very poor quality and the private very expensive. In the UK the NHS is all about free care but in some places it's very hard to get to see a GP or dentist. Then NHS staff will scold you if you elect to use private health.

My wife delivered our second boy on Monday morning via elective c-section.

All went well, he came out far, far bigger than anyone was expecting haha. As it turns out, he was always going to need a c-section.

What’s pleased me the absolute most though is our 18 month old boy has instantly fallen in love with him. Already constantly trying to give him cuddles and kisses. I’m not an emotional person but watching the two of them together absolutely melts me.

Latest upgrade to Chrome pleases me. (yeah yeah evil empire and all that. I use firefox for most things and chrome just for fb and streaming services that don't like ad blockers)

Some random dude posting 3D design services to a group. Pic looked a little dodgy. You used to be able to right-click and google image search to see where else the pic was used. Now right click lets you search with Google Lens. Did it and not only did it find items that looked like the pic, it showed frames from within a youtube video that proved all the photos of "his" work was actually screenshots from someone else's video.

brb deleting all my youtube videos

My youngest son has been invited to audition for the under 7s elite dance troupe

We had a kid in my son's footy team who danced during the week and played footy on Sundays. He was ragged mercilessly (you can pretty well imagine some of the macho comments, even from parents).

In the end he gave up footy to concentrate on dancing. We invited him back a couple of months later to run a training session for his U14 ex-teammates. Fifteen minutes in half of them were prostrate on the ground or puking. No more smart remarks after that.

Took a while but got divorce papers from ex today. What a strange feeling.

From the twitter box:
"I am a man in my 30s with a successful career and a beautiful family. Despite this, my favourite pastime is watching pig racing on YouTube. I'm so hooked."

It's an English thing called League of Pigs. It's a hoot!

I found dachshund racing. Their little legs. It's mesmerising

Onwards and upwards.

My brother who lives in Phoenix, flew to Dallas today to meet up with a fellow poker player he befriended 20 years ago. The friend is autistic and has no set abode. He travels from casino to casino spending all of his time gambling, hoping not to be kicked out for his behaviour or for counting cards while playing blackjack.

My brother is driving him from Dallas up to Kansas to visit his ageing mother and his own mentally challenged son who lives in a group home. They plan on stopping by casinos and poker places on the journey both ways. If I tried to explain the problems this guy has, it would take me pages. His father was shot and killed in a failed armed robbery when he was young. He got a girl pregnant and has little contact with his son. His mother is a religious nut who has passed her craziness to her son. (They are both awaiting the Rapture.) I think I wrote about him and his family years ago somewhere on this site.

What makes me pleased is that I lucked out getting the kindest, most caring brother in the world. I can not imagine doing something like that for someone who is just really, a casual acquaintance.

I have a million stories that I could tell about him deserving an American knighthood, if there was one.
