Has anyone found having HRT fixed or reduced your CUTI issue?

Did you climb a glacier on a holiday and move internationally because it sucked you in? Did you dream and dream and train in some unusual ways before heading elsewhere to tackle a mountain?

Did you freeze your butt off ( not literally) several times until you learnt a good system to keep you warm but mobile?

Looking into renewing my policy and so many exceptions in some policies but the main thing I want is ease of coverage and claim if it comes down to it. So who were you with, what was your experience like? I had a great insurer but they've been eaten up by another mob and the coverage is no where near as good.

Piggybacking off a post here in Auscorp from a couple of years back about favourite colleagues, tell us about your most memorable workmates.

Someone I think of often is Ron who was one of our waste collection team, always jovial, always spreading happiness and always advocating to make sure you look after your heart by doing exercise. Every morning before work (which started at 6am for him), he'd be out walking at least 5km and he was probably 60+.

I can still remember the smile on his face the last time I saw him, having signed off his work permit before walking out the door with a spring in his step. Next morning at the team huddle, I was told he'd had a heart attack and passed away. May have walked out of that meeting to cry. The world lost someone special that day.

On a happier note, as a graduate there was a grad Dave, who used to draw me little animals on post its and leave them around my office to find. A different grad, L would see my very long list of things to do on my white board, sneak in when I was out of the office and add 'chillax' on my list of things to do, usually at the top. Those two always put a smile on my face as an overly stressy graduate!

Clear glass looks amazing when freshly cleaned but often has water marks, soap scum build up quickly. Frosted glass would make this less obvious, especially in hard water areas.

So ElI5, why isn't frosted glass more popular? I'm making the assumption that it is frosted on the side outside the shower and smooth on the shower side.

Did you consider it in your reno? Why didn't you use it?

I've found a lot of my favourite perfumes have 'white florals' as one of the top few notes...but so do some of the ones I hate the most. so what gives? Why is there such a difference and what exactly makes one 'white floral' so different to another?

Late diagnosed a few years ago and was put on IR Dex 5mg. Usually take 2 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon and drink 2 coffees in the morning. Seems okay but I've never tried anything else and Im not great at remembering to take the second dose or don't want to of I woke up later.

Now in Qld and I'm wondering if the GP can prescribe me a long release medication instead? I have a letter from my psych about what I've been previously prescribed.

What was your experience on trying different meds to find the right one? I just stuck with what I was originally prescribed as it made such a difference and life was so complicated that I didn't want to make life more complicated at the time.

Without looking it up, if someone says their name as Ms ABC (as opposed to Miss or Mrs ABC) what immediately comes to mind?

Is it nothing other than gender, similar to Mr? Is it something else?
