    Grammar Discussions

    I was on an online chat with Supercheap Auto today. At one point Aguil typed "bare with me" Now I'm not a prude but I think that's going a bit too far with the personal touch.

    General Medical issues thread

    Interesting, so I looked up 12 month survival rates for St. Vincent Sydney. Non-frail 95%, frail 74%. Send me there. Prince Charles (with their "medically suitable" restrictions so presumably non-frail) 79%. Don't send me there. I see why an administrator wouldn't want frail patients messing up...

    Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR)

    For some reason I read that as... I'm no undertaker, perhaps I was expecting the worst. Good to have that contact ph number now. The business case I presume would include an arrangement/contribution from VA who may be able to resell the seat, and likely the same regardless of the 80% or 100%...
