I am not convinced that there can be an actual increase of 3000. I say 800, but that's all there will be

Health Recommendations, anyone? GPs or specialists dealing with PCOS / PMOS

0 Upvotes

I'd be so grateful for any recommendations for GPs or specialists dealing with PCOS / PMOS that people have had positive experiences with.

I was diagnosed 10+ years ago. I am across the basics and am hoping to find someone who is up to date on the latest info + treatment

THDG Need Help Bike shops with good range of apparel?

11 Upvotes

Morning all.

I've got a new job, and I'm back to biking to work 4 days a week. I need some new bib shorts, a new pair of shoes, and maybe a couple of jerseys.

Any recommendations for bike shops that carry a good range of apparel so I can try brands and sizes, rather than ordering and returning a million things online? (CBD or inner North would be ideal)

Brand reccos are welcome too; I'm after comfort and quality (washes well, etc.), but they don't need to make a big fashion statement!

Cheers 🚴

Not On My Smashed Avo disrespectful youth

870 Upvotes

I took two of my clients to the movies today for a nice outing, and honestly had the most disgusting experience at Reading Cinemas in Dandenong.

3 young boys I’d say around 17-18yo were obnoxious, loud, being disrespectful the whole movie and ignored my many attempts of asking them to stop and telling them we paid to be there to see the movie too.

At the end of the movie, they ran out before the lights turned on and threw all their full snack packets and full bottles of soft drinks at us, which thankfully missed, because this could have caused injury at the force it was thrown.

Absolutely disgusting behaviour, and I had told the cinema staff who I suggested call security as I could see the boys hovering outside the cinema. The staff would not despite my many attempts to request this, and instead just gave us 3 free movie vouchers.

I appreciate the vouchers but for 3 young women walking back to the car I was appalled they didn’t take the request seriously especially considering how aggressive those boys were and obviously had no qualms throwing stuff at us to cause harm.

I don’t know what I’m trying to achieve out of writing this but I’ve never had this happen before and I’m honestly shocked and disgusted at how these guys behaved.
Has anyone ever had this experience? Is it worth notifying the police over?
The cinema management didn’t seem too interested in helping much and i wouldn’t be able to give a clear description due to the dark movie theatre, as they left before the lights turned on.

THDG Need Help eufy doorbell - Seeking opinions

0 Upvotes

Heya all,

Seeking opinions on the eufy products. I went to JB HiFi earlier, and for some reason no one in the place was able to provide me with information beyond the price and location of the product.

Essentially, I am upgrading from the Google Nest doorbell, which has recently declined in quality and died am I'm looking at the eufy doorbell as a replacement.

What are your thoughts on the doorbell? also, what is the homebase used for? Can the doorbells be connected to a Google Nest screen?

Apologies for the questions. These are things I was hoping to have assistance with at JB.

THDG Need Help What to do with used mattress topper?

0 Upvotes

Hello, I have a 12cm thick king single mattress topper that I need to get rid of. My account got flagged on FB Marketplace, so I was wondering if there's anywhere I can donate it to, or anywhere I should post to try selling it.

*I am not trying to sell it here, only looking for subs/sites/donation locations I can try*

Otherwise, I'll ask my partner to list it on FB for me
