Older people with sores on there legs

It starts with an itch then a sore because the skin is broken from the scratching. Then the infection sets in with the creams that feed the infection because of one thing. Dirt, Now let me explain. When (myself included) we become lazy and stop the stretching and doing the work we used to do. Stiffness sets in we shower instead of bathing because we cannot get into or out of the bath tub. Now here is the problem we can not bend down to wash the feet and legs! So they suffer by not being clean. If you suffer from cuts that do not heal on your legs you must get into a bath tub with warm water and disinfectant in the water to kill the germs get your wife nurse or one of family to wash the legs and you will be surprised in about two weeks of this happening on a regular basis that the legs clear up.

Old fashioned shack and the Gundagai flood

I had to go to Gundagai to let the insurance assessors into the house. This is weeks after the flood. I was shocked to see the water damage. Mould has grown on the roof walls and floor, The lining is coming away from the roof in the kitchen and one of the bed rooms the walls are now with bends and the floor is wavy and far from flat. I thought the people would have moved out in the  last month but "O" no they were moving back in rent free. I put my foot down and gave then 24 hours to vacate. I have never seen people who are so lazy. They removed the draw in the kitchen as they didn't have anything to pack the stuff into and took the entire draw leaving a hole where the draw was, didn't think I would notice.
I did a posting once on what to do with a dead cat, of course put it in the refrigerator. Here is another one more grusom than that. What do you do with a dead baby? Put it in an esky under the house, I got a my mate Harry to pick up some scrap metal and there was a fridge in amongst the steel, HE ASKED IF THERE WAS ANY BODIES IN THE FRIDGE AND WAS SERIOUS. Then he related the above story to me apparently factual and was in the papers just after I moved to Nowra. There is sink holes in the yard and I am hoping that is all they are. I wont be doing any gardening as one never knows what is going to be dug up. I am not a gardener and I think this to be a good thing in Gundagai. Turns out I got the tenents from the story. It took me two days to clean out the two sheds which are twenty by ten feet. Nothing like a good clean out of ones possessions like sweeping the mind clean. I have even put heaps of stuff on eBay and to my surprise it is getting good results.
I know I preach being happy and looking on the bright side and this took its toll on the senses. This turns out to be one of life's trying times but was a blessing in disguise.  No tenants

Yep,

It's a little discouraging seeing as I only just joined up with them.
I'm getting a little buyer's remorse.

Does this happen often with these guys?

On their site it says there was a power outage in sydney where their servers are located. Hoping this was a one off.

I'm getting REALLY dodgy connections of late. I have no connection about as often as I do have a connection and when I do it's really slow.

I know it says they have a damaged switch at the server site but there is no listed outages at the moment. I was kinda hoping to rely on this ISP for a constant stream of data, what with it being unlimited. Consistency in the speed I'm not too worried about, actually maintaining a connection though...

DrBoon

We identified the problem and it should now be resolved. It was due to a numbr of things

(a) our remote hands incorrectly reconnected ethernet leads to a piece of equipment by accident
(b) we had a wierd udp problem appear. On advice of the hardware supplier, we performed a cold reboot of all the equipment late yesterday

The later appears to have solved the problem with the upd and the remote hands correctly connected the equipment once it was identified. If it hasnt please contact the service desk as you may have another problem

Thanks

Think its a melbourne problem, uncertain where it lies. Tracerts seem ok although they do take a while with pauses between hops. but ms seems ok. which is strange..

Cooking and renovation and gardening shows on TV

Lets go threw the heading one piece at a time.
Cooking
Yes you all watch the cooking shows with all those fancy dishes eating your pizzas and fast food. Wishing you could do the same, Here's the secret you can. It starts with turning off the telly and going to your farmers market and getting the ingredients. Visit your local butcher and buy some of the cheaper cuts as they are the best value, If you have money to spare then the more expensive cuts may be obtained as this leaves the cheaper cut for the less privileged.
Failing that go to the supermarket and shop the walls don't go into the centre of the shop as that is where the expensive stuff is. The most expensive stuff is in the isle where the control panel of the supermarket is.
I will post a video of cooking in my house and the way it is done. Go now and check out where to get the ingredients.
Renovation shows.
Yes after demolishing the fast food you are now ready for a sleep as the sugar content in the food you have just eaten does that to you. Start small patch the hole in the wall nail the paling back on the fence Fix a chair, you might even want to try building a chook shed remembering that a chook is only about a foot high not six foot. Do some drawing of the intended subject. Make a materials list and off you go the the local demolition yard as that is where the best materials are.
Do some dreaming as that is where it starts.
Gardening
Now most blokes who rent or live in a house know how to mow a lawn and this is a good start. I am not a gardener but I do possess four lawn mowers and um teen whipper snipers and some shovels and the like all bought from junk sales and the like. The thing is the TV has to go off, It will still be there when you get back and if its not that is one of those blessings in disguise.
This is enough to digest for now and I will revisit it again soon
