  • I had jsut had shoulder surgery and was on the 'good' pain meds, I went to a work party and had a small glass of wine mid afternoon. Latter I had my evening meds - oh my lord.

    My pulse was pegged at 100-150+ for what felt like forever and NOTHING was right and my brain was solving the worlds problems, over and over again on fast repeat. Everything was almost liquid.

  • My wife was rushed by ambulance to the area hospital with post-partum complication at about 48 hours.

    Then seven days latter our new born was rushed off to the same hospital with suspected meningitis - she spent nearly 2 week there starting in NICU.

    Both wife and daughter survived, although both were pretty hard to go through at the time.

    If either of them ended for the worse it would have been crushing - if both of these had ended badly I suspect it would be fairly well up there

  • My wife has completely cut off any contact with her mother, but she was genuinely a horrid person so no loss for her and I but there is some for our two kids. There was a lot that has lead to this.

    But as I said she is a horrid person so we don't really want her in our kids lives.

  • The person who will be the oldest person alive in the year 2100 is already probably already like 25 years old.

  • born in 2006.

    Shit, just call my age out... Back in about the year you were born I was part of a online ultra-light hiking group that had semi random meetups an hikes. Most of us were guys from mid 20s to mid 30s, except one young girl of 17. She had no problems of doing 3-5 day hikes across some very remote UK places with a bunch of older guys.

    If you trust your friend I see no issues.

  • If they are deemed fire arms (and they were) then:

    • Import permits would be needed.
    • A NZ importer would be needed with all the correct licences

    I'm not sure where it stands at the moment for the secret service/FBI coming into NZ but in the past they have been forced to hand over all firearms and Protection was supplied by NZ police and Defence Force - and that was before the last round of tightening up of fire arms laws
