Computers and a bad back.
(Preview)
For years and years I've had a 'bad' back for which I've visited chiropractors who have advised that it was something to do with vertebrae in my back crumbling away and quite common. My job required me to sit bolt upright in front of either computers or radar screens sometimes for long periods - I always...

For those who don't have or want 240 volts. We each have an Oral-B 2 x AA battery toothbrush (bar code 4210201822233) It is not as good as a 240 volt one, but it's about all I have found that is reasonable. Batteries last for weeks but we are using rechargeable & have a 12 volt AA charger. When cleaning t...

Clexane and the PBS
(Preview)
My father was given 120mg syringes of Clexane in hospital. The same dose is available at the pharmacy, but is not on the PBS. However, doses of 20mg and 100mg are covered by PBS. So, instead of a single injection, he injects himself twice, and presumably the taxpayer pays more for this inconvenience. D...
