Wifi calling not working. Speak with Optus, ah your phone isn’t on the list. It’s an iPhone 11 and Optus documentation still calls for the upcoming iPhone X as the newest phone able to use wifi calling so update you paperwork Optus. Wifi calling works fine with Telstra on same network.

Now it’s the ISPs fault and I have to speak with Apple to get it sorted - FFS damn you telecommunications companies always trying to pass the buck when really they’re at fault.

If you ever want a chuckle, look up the Google reviews on the Sunshine Post Office.

Seems many, many people do not grasp that the Sunshine distribution centre is not the same as the tiny little Post Office, lol.

The google reviews for the various Melbourne prisons are worth a chuckle too - not many fans of the room service

Ear crystals



I was Tuesday years old when I found out that we have crystals in our ears that tell us whether we're upright or spinning around in a zero gravity vortex. Turns out mine have gone haywire and think I'm in the latter now, so almost every movement results in feeling like I'm pulling backflips. I feel like I could fall off the ground.

It's a super amusing concept, and still gives me the chuckles, but it's starting to wear thin now. Constant nausea where the only relief is broken sleep isn't really a fun way to live. I won't complain about being stuck at home, but I think I can justify bitching about this fucking spinning bedroom now

It's quite common. I have the same problem and there's exercises you can do to fix it. I'm assuming a doctor has told you it Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) and there's YouTube videos. My doc sent me to a hearing specialist and it was fixed in half an hour.

Mine only hits when I have my head on one particular angle now.

Whoah, whoah, this is recurring/persistent?!

Those sound very much like the words he used to describe it. He told me it should clear itself in a week or two, but if not that a physio should be able to sort it for me. Nothing about it coming back, or not going away.

Jeezuz, this is debilitating, I can barely function at the moment let alone do things I want/need to do. How do you manage driving or riding if it could come back any moment?

No no, well, not for me anyway. The position I have to have my head in is left ear down, head almost horizontal, like I'm looking underneath the dashboard of a car, then it normally takes a few seconds for it to hit, and clears instantly when I stand upright. It's no-where near as bad as it was first time around.

I did have one relapse at the start of this year where I'd run myself way down and my balance and clarity was just off and I was questioning if I could complete the Otway Odyssey. After a couple of days I remembered the exercises and I was good as Gold again. It's totally self managed. Google the exercises, it takes all of ten minutes. It's basically hanging your head of the edge of the bed at different angles to relocate the crystals.

Guy at work’s wife has been laid out for days with this several times over the last, say, 18 months. So certainly recurring for her. Couple of physio sessions over 5 days sorted her out this last time but she was basically horizontal for several days.

You have something in common now.

Me, I'm just permanently mildly deaf from an inner ear infection that didn't rupture the drum and instead went further in the ear.
And there's the brain lesion thing.

Anyway, LTIH:
