19:05:00 <demob> doh
19:11:00 <^bozojim> hi demob
19:11:00 <demob> hey jim :)
19:15:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> did someone just msg me
19:16:00 <^bozojim> not me
19:16:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> ok i figured it out
19:20:00 <demob> it was satan
19:32:00 <demob> my neighbour was taken by ambulance a couple of hours ago
19:32:00 <demob> shes 97
19:32:00 <demob> she'll be ok. she's forgotten how to die
19:33:00 <demob> not sure if they will let her come home tho, and that'd be fair if they dont. shes so weak she cant even open her front door
19:33:00 <demob> so she sits in same chair all day watching tv. sad
19:53:00 <demob> https://youtu.be/vaNdH53p6oA
19:55:00 <demob> i like the neighbour next door, and i hope she doesnt die, but in aged care there's a term 'forgotten how to die' where these old people, even very sick ppl just dont die, and a 'death doolah' is bought in to put them in an 'active dying state'
19:55:00 <demob> not with drugs or anything physical. its all psychological
19:56:00 <demob> personally i think leave them be
19:58:00 <demob> she was FINE just a couple of years ago, and they did a major hip surgery on her at age 93 or somethign and after that she cant walk unassisted. she could walk fine before. since that surgery and since she isnt very active, her mental alertness has dropped rapidly. surgeon should be sued
19:59:00 <^bozojim> yes
19:59:00 <^bozojim> unless there is an underlying reason for it not pic ked
20:00:00 <demob> and i see it looks evil about that death doolah - i agree mostly. its usually the family who want the parent to die
20:01:00 <demob> sometimes with dementia old people get a massive personality change
20:02:00 <demob> jim - i believe surgeons were doing it for cash because my mother didnt need a hip operation but she got one the same year
20:04:00 <Happy> she must have agreed to it
20:04:00 <demob> she believed what she was told - that in the future she might need one
20:04:00 <demob> by the surgeon
20:04:00 <demob> which is some weird circular reasoning
20:05:00 <^bozojim> yes [pssible
20:06:00 <^bozojim> posssible
20:07:00 <demob> ok time for clowncore
20:08:00 <demob> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsVEfeGkQck

21:32:00 <Bonny> I don't buy from china
21:32:00 <Bonny> I used to tho but not anymore cos they stuffed up our trade only cos australia wanted to investigate where covid came from
21:33:00 <demob> i got a bit sunburned today
21:33:00 <doggyrat> if i could afford i not buy either but that is the only way for me
21:33:00 <Bonny> you'll go dark tommorrow demob
21:34:00 <demob> yep then its MY TURN to scream 'my land' at random ppls
21:34:00 <Bonny> lol
21:34:00 <Bonny> hahahahahahaha
21:35:00 <doggyrat> Bonny: sure you need a new swimwear the old one is much to big :)
21:35:00 <demob> sorry i hear that phrase almost daily around here
21:35:00 <Bonny> yup
21:35:00 <demob> when anyone tries to argue with an aboriginal.. even if both are
21:35:00 <Bonny> that's why I ordered new ones
21:35:00 <demob> one is 'less aboriginal' somehow
21:35:00 <Bonny> yeah
21:36:00 <Bonny> it's my land
21:37:00 <Bonny> no need to apologising.. I found it amusing cos it's so true
21:38:00 <demob> :)
21:38:00 <Bonny> :)
21:38:00 <demob> i reeeeeeally wish i could move
21:38:00 <Bonny> can't you put in an application to be moved?
21:39:00 <demob> i did to get THIS Place, which rook a decade
21:39:00 <Bonny> but you ended up with worse than what you had?
21:39:00 <demob> it was far worse at last place
21:39:00 <Bonny> ok
21:43:00 <demob> same probs too!
21:43:00 <Bonny> ok
21:43:00 <Bonny> I'm on a 3rd floor of an apartment building and I have a lot of peace here
21:44:00 <demob> oh good
21:44:00 <Bonny> yeah
21:44:00 <Bonny> and you need a swipe card to get to my floor
21:46:00 <demob> ahh i like that
21:47:00 <demob> prox or magnetic card?
21:47:00 <Bonny> yeah
21:47:00 <demob> is there a black stripe>
21:47:00 <demob> usually means magnetic
21:47:00 <Bonny> I use the remote as a swipe
21:47:00 <Bonny> I have remote to open up the gate from the basement car park
21:47:00 <demob> when i worked at dept of health we had prox cards. just wearing around neck on a lanyard was enough to open doors. didnt need to physically do anything
21:47:00 <Bonny> coolo
21:47:00 <demob> which was awesome until you lose said proxcard, like an idiot. like i did
21:48:00 <Bonny> lol
21:48:00 <demob> hospital IT is very high security, understandably
21:48:00 <Bonny> yup
21:49:00 <demob> had a halon system but it was disconnected because its impossible for ppl to breathe with it.
21:49:00 <Bonny> oh ok
21:49:00 <demob> at some point they were legal, at some point they became illegal
21:49:00 <demob> to suppress fire
21:49:00 <Bonny> oh wow
21:50:00 <demob> people had gas for lights years ago. that too was killing people. not because of the gas, but because the gas stole oxygen
21:50:00 <Bonny> yup
21:50:00 <demob> and gas back then was different gas. it was town gas, this gas we have now is harmless
21:50:00 <Bonny> yeah
21:50:00 <Bonny> it's the gas the germans used on the jews
21:50:00 <demob> ze gas
21:51:00 <demob> heh nah its methane with a special chemical added so we can smell it
21:51:00 <Bonny> yup
21:51:00 <demob> town gas had a lot more carbon monoxide in it
21:51:00 <Bonny> yeah
21:52:00 <demob> had a panic attack today
21:52:00 <Bonny> oh why?
21:52:00 <demob> fitbit said my heart went 190BPM
21:52:00 <Bonny> wow
21:52:00 <demob> this new chemist i go to. theyre just fucking hopeless
21:52:00 <demob> losing scripts
21:52:00 <Bonny> that sucks
21:53:00 <demob> 2nd time they did it. they did ring when i was home saying 'sorry, we DO HAVE it!' and i left 20 mins before because 5 times they said you have it, we dont have it, its not here etc
21:53:00 <demob> fucking hopeless
21:53:00 <Bonny> that's is totally fucked
21:54:00 <demob> i suspect they have people dealing
21:54:00 <demob> its not this chemist only
21:54:00 <demob> last was even worse
21:54:00 <Bonny> I've never experienced my scripts getting loss
21:54:00 <Bonny> lost*
21:54:00 <demob> youre probably not in 10 different meds tho mate
21:55:00 <demob> and im glad ur not :)
21:55:00 <Bonny> and also I pay $1 cheaper than a normal concession
21:55:00 <demob> how? its your land?
21:55:00 <demob> :D
21:55:00 <Bonny> lol
21:55:00 <Bonny> no idea
21:55:00 <Bonny> I've been paying $5.60 for my scripts
21:56:00 <demob> thats pretty cheap
21:56:00 <Bonny> yup
21:56:00 <Bonny> you don't get concession for your meds?
21:56:00 <demob> i do
21:56:00 <Bonny> ok
21:56:00 <demob> its 6$ something now
21:56:00 <Bonny> 6.60
21:56:00 <demob> goes up every year
21:56:00 <demob> yes
21:57:00 <Bonny> it's what my parents pay till they reach the safety net
21:57:00 <demob> youre paying what it used to cost years ago
21:57:00 <Bonny> yup in jan
21:57:00 <Bonny> oh it goes up but I always get it $1 cheaper

21:57:00 <demob> :)
21:57:00 <Bonny> lol
21:57:00 <Bonny> no idea
21:57:00 <Bonny> I've never been gamed to ask
21:58:00 <Bonny> I don't want them saying it's a mistake you got to pay $6.60
21:58:00 <Bonny> but then if it was a mistake they should have picked it up years ago
21:59:00 <demob> hah yes
21:59:00 <Bonny> :)
21:59:00 <demob> dont correct them
21:59:00 <Bonny> nup
22:00:00 <demob> this last chemist used to fuck up giving change all the time, and give me more than was due, and id always tell them, give it back. they changed owners and they employ this hopeless vietnamese guy who hasnt even been to tafe let alone university, to dispense all medication including schedule 8 medicines, which is not legal, but he not only does that he is losing scripts, changing them all the time and it got out of hand
22:01:00 <Bonny> that is disgusting
22:01:00 <demob> this guy fuckoing gave me 300mg lyrica, when i was only [prescribed 150mg and then said later "you owe us a script for 300mg"
22:01:00 <demob> because he didnt tell me at the time and even if he did, which he didnt he CANT DO THAT
22:01:00 <Bonny> fuck
22:01:00 <Bonny> yup he can't
22:02:00 <Bonny> should report him
22:02:00 <demob> they kept doing shit like that, it was causing too many problems so i asked for scripts back and left
22:02:00 <Bonny> lives are at stake
22:02:00 <demob> now its an 8km ride to and from this other chemist, who has lost my scripts 2 time in 6 months now, but when i get home they ring and say 'found it!'
22:02:00 <demob> yes
22:02:00 <demob> its not legal bonny
22:02:00 <Bonny> no it's not
22:02:00 <Bonny> he isn't qualified
22:03:00 <demob> and the woman who IS the pharmacist, my doctor said he spoke to her on the phone and he cant understand her
22:03:00 <demob> shes from china. nobody can understand her
22:03:00 <Bonny> my friend's daughter is a pharmacist.. she studied hard at uni to learn
22:03:00 <demob> its like a comedy written by a sadist
22:03:00 <Bonny> sounds really bad
22:03:00 <demob> yeah its a 4 yr full time course
22:03:00 <Bonny> yup
22:03:00 <demob> its a difficult course too
22:04:00 <Bonny> yup
22:04:00 <Bonny> and she did really well and has a good job
22:04:00 <demob> great
22:04:00 <Bonny> yeah
22:04:00 <demob> the best chemists i had were greek
22:04:00 <demob> ive had 3
22:04:00 <Bonny> well my friend and I are greek
22:04:00 <demob> they speak english never fuck up and dont break the law. just how i like it
22:04:00 <Bonny> the chemist I go to for my meds is owned by a greek
22:05:00 <demob> one of these greek chemists had a stroke and i havent seen him since. he was not even 50
22:05:00 <Bonny> sad
22:05:00 <demob> nice guy. one day he had a massive stroke, bedbound after
22:05:00 <Bonny> was he overweight?
22:06:00 <demob> a little but not a ton
22:06:00 <Bonny> ok
22:06:00 <Bonny> that's why I lost all the weight I had.. I used to inject insulin twice a day for diabetes and it was out of control and I was a good candicate for stroke
22:07:00 <demob> he loved his cars. he had a few high end cars. one of them was a new HSV monaro which he was disappointed with. one was a top end mercedes amg, and one a cobra or whatever those long american cars are
22:07:00 <demob> it looks crazy-long
22:07:00 <Bonny> since I lost weight I no longer use insulin
22:07:00 <demob> aha
22:07:00 <demob> i have type 2
22:07:00 <Bonny> yeah same
22:07:00 <Bonny> I'm on metformin
22:08:00 <demob> same
22:08:00 <Bonny> just 1 tablet a day
22:08:00 <demob> heh i just took mine
22:08:00 <Bonny> I take mine in the morning
22:08:00 <demob> i know you're spying on me bonny
22:08:00 <Bonny> lol
22:08:00 <demob> i take one in morning but ive started taking them twice a day now
22:08:00 <demob> 1000mg XR meformin
22:08:00 <Bonny> oh ok
22:08:00 <Bonny> xr means rapid release
22:08:00 <demob> its easier on the gut
22:09:00 <Bonny> yeah
22:09:00 <demob> some ppl take metformin to lose weight
22:09:00 <Bonny> yup
22:09:00 <Bonny> but I unfortunately don't lose weight with metformin
22:09:00 <demob> you might if you take non XR because it upsets the gut a lot more, and this causes ppl to eat less
22:10:00 <demob> just repeating what i heard a lecturer say
22:10:00 <Bonny> ok
22:10:00 <demob> this guy who thinks meformin is a med you can use to stay more young
22:10:00 <Bonny> lol
22:10:00 <demob> it 'seems to protect against some types of cancer too'
22:10:00 <Bonny> does it?
22:10:00 <Bonny> first I heard of that
22:10:00 <demob> apparently. there are studies on it
22:10:00 <Bonny> cool
22:11:00 <Bonny> hope so
22:12:00 <demob> bought my friend some bluetooth ear pods from lenovo
22:12:00 <demob> i must send them tomorrow
22:12:00 <Bonny> cool
22:12:00 <demob> reminded myself i need to get her address again

22:21:00 <Bonny> I have block out blinds

22:21:00 <demob> damn you have good blinds then
22:22:00 <demob> this video gives me more questions than answers. why is he wearing a handkerchief over face (its pre covid) , why is he wearing a plate carrier vest? (for soldiers)
22:22:00 <demob> why are the hospital staff all looking at him like that
22:22:00 <demob> just bizarre lol
22:22:00 <demob> this band is great but film clips are weird
22:24:00 <demob> the video to 'lydia' gives me anxiety cos it looks a lot like shes drowning
22:24:00 <demob> ive drowned before. its not as bad as one expects. body relaxes and it isnt agony
22:24:00 <demob> i was rescued and resus'd lucky
22:25:00 <demob> in the river murray
22:26:00 <demob> ill go open windows
22:27:00 <demob> 5 knot south east breeze
