Doctor's Handwriting?

SViswan @SViswan (12051) • India 23 Feb 11

Doctors are known for their bad handwriting and the pharmacists usually get blamed for giving the wrong medication. The Karnataka State Pharmacy Council has decided to write to the Medical Council of India, the Indian Medical...

newzealtralian It is scary to think that doctors can use such handwriting when our very lives depend on what they write being able to be read by others. I'm yet to find a doctor that rights clearly myself, and I'm sure it is the same for many people. My own handwriting is...

I've forgotten....

MsTickle @MsTickle (25180) • Australia 23 Feb 11

In the last couple of days I've lost a pair of glasses, the nozzle off the end of my hose, the key for my lawn-mower and the keys to where I work!! I have been searching and searching. Perhaps I shouldn't say "lost" but...

newzealtralian When things weigh heavily on our minds, we tend to do things without thinking about them, like putting objects in places we wouldn't usually put them. Instead of racing around looking for the missing objects, sit down, clear your mind and think of something...

What is your favorite part of nature?

Amber @AmbiePam (95219) • United States 11 May 10

What is the most beautiful, or maybe just your favorite part of nature? The choices are vast: waterfalls, rainbows, a sunny sky...I love weeping willow trees. There were a couple of them in my grandparent's neighborhood when I...

newzealtralian To choose a favourite thing about nature would be the same as asking me to choose a favourite of my children, it simply can't be done. All of nature is beautiful and wonderous. Each brings its own unique joy and most compliment each other nicely.

newzealtralian I'm pleased to say that she is now in her 3rd year and really doing well with her schoolwork. I have come to enjoy helping her with her homework (when she cooperates and doesn't muck around) and am proud of her reading skills. It is never easy to have...

BIG Problem - Need Serious Input

Amber @AmbiePam (95219) • United States 3 May 10

I really think my uncle is going to end up murdering my grandmother. This may be a long post, so if you don't like reading long ones, you better stop now. Let me give you the background information. My grandparents had two kids,...

newzealtralian He is a life long drug addicted and rehabilitation has failed in the past, most likely due to the real issues behind his drug addiction being dealt with. His mother won't do anything about it, which is her choice, and you are wanting to know where the rest...

Wanting a Macbook Pro and want information about it

suspenseful @suspenseful (40192) • Canada 10 Jul 10

I know what size I want to get, but when I went to the Apple site, there were so many choices, Iwork, ability to attach to this tv monitor, regular hard drives, solid steel hard drives, etc. that I am confused. I do a lot of...

newzealtralian Regardless of the operating system/computer type, the best thing you can do is to go into a computer retailer and get some help with looking at what kind of computer you need. You don't have to buy from them, just get some 'in the know' advice, and really make...

What makes a good lawn ornament?

Amber @AmbiePam (95219) • United States 12 Jul 10

How about a fridge? Sure, why not?! It stops keeping things cold, let's just put it out on the front lawn. Personally, I would prefer a flamingo. See, in the breezeway of my apartment, in full view of anyone who comes near the...

newzealtralian Glad its gone. It does sound like it did make for an interesting topic of conversation while it was there, even if it was for the wrong reasons.

newzealtralian Yes, the right thing would be to take little kitten to the rescue shelter, but in some countries, if you surrender an animal, you end up on the welfare radar (and not just for animals either). I'd prefer for people to take their animals to the shelters, but...

Do you consider yourself tech savvy ?

mimpi @mimpi1911 (25464) • India 28 Apr 10

The reason I ask because I used to think that I am one very close to it, if not one. But one fine day, I realised that I actually did not even know how to take a screen shot! Also, I still do not know the basics like how to...

newzealtralian I'm not into having all the latest tech gadgets, so I'm probably not as tech savvy as most people my age and younger. I know how to maintain and fix problems with my computer, but you don't exactly need a degree in computer science for that, the help menus...

newzealtralian If the fridge had been used in a creative or practical way, then it could be quite a postive statement in the garden. We have old electrical appliances (fridge, washer, dryer) that are that beyond saving we haven't even bothered trying. Our plan is to turn...

I am not here for YOUR convenience.

Amber @AmbiePam (95219) • United States 15 Jul 10

I had to bite the bullet and venture into the Walmart Supercenter today. I had peanut butter and pickles in my fridge - that was it. So I'm going down the vitamin aisle, and a very nicely dressed, short, middle aged lady points...

newzealtralian Thankfully, I'm a short person, so I don't have to worry about people wanting me to get things off higher shelves. I do have the problem of not reaching the higher shelves myself. Being short, I do get asked if I could reach something under the shelves. Why...

@mayka123 @mayka123 (16671) • India 1 Jul 10

How do you manage your monthly salary? Do you allocate a certain amount to be spent on the house, or is it a case of buying things as you need? Who does the household budget management in your house? Is it you or your parent /...

newzealtralian We manage our budget by allocating a certain amount to grocery shopping and daily expenses, and sticking to it. For bills, a nominated amount is put aside into a sub account, which can't be accessed except by use of phone/internet banking. What isn't spent...
