Im asking for something that currently doesnt seem to exist. There are waterproof pouches in lots of cute prints for Hickman lines, and cheerful little stickers, but its not my taste. However its designed, it has to be scrupulous at avoiding infection or allergies. Im thinking silicone caps that fit over the single use Hickman caps Are there any custom crafts people who might want to innovate in Perth that you guys know if, who might be able to make something like this?

I know it's a scrappy world to other people and they're only personal, but 2024 was the worst for me. First my car got stolen, then my chronic digestion issues being upset, I ended up in hospital for 4 days. Then my 16 year old cat was in agony with cancer so I had to put her down. That was March. Try to keep up spirits of dying mother in dementia care. She passed in June. Ended up in hospital again for 3 days. A couple of months later, ask about the will. Find out that will was made 2 months before going into dementia care, leaving 1/6th of the estate to me care of public trustee because apparently I was going to drink it all. I've been sober 39 years. No typo. Oh, I fought it. If I didn't

Not the Porky Pies, the real ones. Asking for a friend. There seems to be a shortage of really good pork pies! Fellow Perthites, do you have any recommendations?

Hi all, im not a nurse but a disability support worker. One thing that occurred to me last night is how effective prolonged mask wearing actually is. As a carer, the overnight shift starts at 2pm, sleep is from 10 to just before 6. In theory 8 hours, but get real, I need a cup of coffee before im fit to do a handover!

Im supposed to wear a ordinary medical mask the whole time. Changing it as needed but, really, 16 hours in air-conditioning? Does anyone know how effective they are at protecting either me or my clients? Im thinking of getting a doctor's letter saying I have to wear an n95 mask. Im immunosuppressed as well.

Your choice whether you want to infuriate them or have them singing along, and I'm a crap Boomer in a computer, unable to link, but here goes.

May I present a modern folk singer from our corner of the planet, and his epically classic Christmas Carol? "Santa Claus, where's my bike?" Rodney Rude.

I Fell Out Of The Sky. This happened 34 years ago.

Do you get moments when the pains you've carried for 34 years connect and it hits you what could have been? It's not humility. It's being humbled.

Yes. Of course you guys do. It's the first place I'd post this.

Typhoon was in gaol for 10 years and afterwards, turned into a very respectable, dysfunctional citizen with a yacht as his address. He cooked on oil rigs, freighters, and in the Antarctic. When he was around, he'd scoop up at least half a dozen people . We'd hit the nightclubs and bands for hours. You may not believe it, but no substances of any kind were consumed. He had a pet budgie he brought to the hospital to see me, inspirin

Reading a redditers story about her MIL inviting BIL to a house inspection of her other son's house, without h the couples consent reminded me of my own mum. I had just arranged to move from a dumpy block of flats to a fantastic rental. Close to work and uni, yuppifying area, solid, old, trendy place. And since the state government owned it, it was really cheap!

I had leased flats and houses in my own name for 7 years. I moved out of her home at 20. I had a part time job and part time uni. I had 2 friends to share the rent, my brother, the previous tenant recommending me and loads of other referees.

Mum's idea of helping. "May I come with you to see the landlord ? Just want them to thin
