Prostate Home Check kits, aka" **** on a Stick" packs. :shock:

**** = blood (for a prostate home test, anyway)?

Are you sure you're not confusing prostate with bowel cancer - that home test is a stool check. The Gov will send you one of these every couple of years for free if you're over a certain age.

I just realised I have done 20 flights since the start of the financial year. No wonder I am so tired and grumpy.

That's a little crazy given we are only 44 days in to FY17. I am floating close to a flight every second day.

This number will be 32 when I fly home tomorrow, and 70 days into FY17.

It's starting to catch up with me - I am feeling pretty lethargic, or maybe it is this new medication.

By publishing side affects of medication I think some people may think they have side affects when they actually don't, although it is rather hard to tell... Side effects like tiredness, tend to also be caused by inadequate sleep or a crazy pace of life. Headaches are often correlated to alcohol consumption and dehydration. Etc.

Our EA is currently being interviewed by the media. Her bag was stolen from her work desk back in 2005 and was reported to the Police. This week the Police called back saying her wallet had been found! 11 years later. A builder had handed it in - he was working in a city building and it was found in the manhole in the ceiling. All cash and credit cards gone, but licence, medicare cards, video card membership were still inside. Time warp.

She also had a David Jones gift voucher inside for $150 - of course long expired. But she explained the reason why she had just found it again and they gave her a brand new gift voucher!

Nice work all around from the Builder, the Police and David Jones.

She is rather excited right now, can hear her chirruping away to the reporter, and having her photo taken. Wallet dusty but perfectly intact.

Did they offer inflation on the voucher, too? :mrgreen:

Opps! Bowel cancer tests, not prostate. Would have made it interesting for the women

Seems like an interesting choice Denali?

Bowel cancer is a serious problem, I am actually quite good friends with a well known colorectal surgeon in Melbs. Thankfully our relationship is purely personal and not professional. *touch wood*.

Slightly OT, but "Melbs" - that's such an Aussie thing to say

I'm not sure if the terms 'well known' and 'colorectal surgeon' are usuable in the same sentence?

Something akin to a celebrity procotolgist.....

Sure he/she does fine work .

Last year our boss gave us all Fitbits as a team build gift... just found out that this year we're all getting Prostate Home Check kits, aka" **** on a Stick" packs. :shock:

I currently have the 2 my husband has been sent sitting at home... Wonder if I can give them away on the AFF Free forum

Prostate exams are a fact of life. Just had mine recently. Went to the examination room and said to the doctor 'where do I put my clothes?' and the reply was , "just over there, on top of mine"
Sure I was a bit shocked but progress has to be made. Next step, the doctor said that with this digital examination, it was not unusual to experience an erection. That's not a problem I replied to which the doctor said, "I am talking about me !". We had to push on and so the doctor did just that. It was rather uncomfortable for me as you would expect so I turned around abruptly and noticed not one, but two fingers of examination. No wonder I felt discomfort."What the hell are you doing?, I screamed out and the reply I got was, "It's Ok, just getting a second opinion".

Sometimes with the medical profession you just can't win can you.

Don't worry, the novelty wears off pretty quick.
