My old man get one stuck and he was in a world of pain.
I have had 4 now, first I would of been under 30 and I watched it roll to the drain along with the blood.
For me it starts with right hand back pain.
A friend did say that lemon juice and vinegar could cause them to want to leave, may be true of my first one or may be unlucky coincidence as it had nothing to do with my last 3.
Lemon Juice & drinking heaps of water makes no differents the stones pass when they are ready.
Some stones may never be passed unless you have lithotripsy treatment

#WAFires Pinjar #fire has crossed Old Yanchep Rd, for ppl on Nisa Rd it's too late to leave, leaving now would be deadly
Bushfire EMERGENCY WARNING for western part of Pinjar in the City of Wanneroo
Tuesday 27 January 2015 - 4:18 PM
A bushfire EMERGENCY WARNING has been issued for people in the western part of Pinjar in the City of Wanneroo.
• You are in danger and need to act immediately to survive. There is a threat to lives and homes.
• The alert level for this fire has been upgraded as the fire has crossed Old Yanchep Road and homes are now under threat.
• Homes on Old Yanchep Road from Sintra Road to Wesco Road, and Perry Road between Sintra Road and Dayspogon Road, including Nisa Road, are under threat by fire now.
The fire started south of Wesco Road near Hopkins Road. It is burning in forest towards Old Yanchep Road.
BUSHFIRE BEHAVIOUR:
• The bushfire is moving in a north easterly direction at 1 kilometre per hour.
• It is out of control and unpredictable.
WHAT TO DO:
For people on Nisa Road:
• It is too late to leave, leaving now would be deadly.
• You need to shelter in your home and actively defend it.
• Go to a room away from the fire front and make sure you can easily escape.
• Choose a room with two exits and water such as a kitchen or laundry.
• You must shelter before the fire arrives, as the extreme heat will kill you well before the flames reach you.
• Protect yourself by wearing long sleeves and trousers, made from cotton or wool, and strong leather boots.
• If your home catches on fire and the conditions inside become unbearable, you need to get out and go to an area that has already been burnt.
• If you cannot shelter in your home, a safer place you can go to is a local open space, shed, swimming pool, dam or building where you may go to seek shelter from a bushfire. This will give you some protection from the effects of a bushfire. Take water, woollen blankets and wear protective clothing.
For people in other parts of the warning area:
• If the way is clear, leave now for a safer place.
• Do not wait and see, leaving at the last minute is deadly.
• If your plan is to stay and actively defend, do not rely on mains water pressure as it may be affected. If you have access to a water tank and plan to defend your home, start patrolling with your hose and put out spot fires.
• If you cannot leave, you need to get ready to shelter in your home and actively defend it.
• If you are not at home, it is too dangerous now to return.
• Your safest option may be to visit family or friends who live away from the area.
• A temporary evacuation centre has been established at the Gumblossom Community Centre, on Tapping Way in Quinns Rocks.
SAFEST ROUTE:
• It is safest to leave in a southerly direction.
A bushfire WATCH AND ACT has been issued for people to the north of the above warning areas in the City of Wanneroo, including Carabooda and Emerald Valley.
• There is a possible threat to lives and homes as a fire is approaching the area and conditions are changing.
• You need to leave or get ready to actively defend.
WHAT TO DO:
• If you are not prepared or you plan to leave, leave now if the way is clear.
• There is ember attack ahead of the fire, so close all doors and windows, and turn off evaporative air conditioners, but keep water running through the system if possible.
• If you are well prepared and plan to actively defend your home, make final preparations now.
• Do not rely on mains water pressure as it may be affected. If you have access to a water tank and plan to defend your home, start patrolling with your hose and put out spot fires.
• If you are not at home, do not try to return as conditions in the area could be very dangerous.
A bushfire ADVICE remains for people in the southern and northernparts of Nowergup in the City of Wanneroo

WHAT TO DO:

That's why Channel 10 picked it up. This year's lineup of shows makes the infamous TV Australia era look like genius programming!

The Liberal implosion continues.
6% swing to Labor in Davenport (though the Libs will still hold on), and Labor in the box seat to win the Queensland election (considering they only won 7 out of 89 seats in the last election, that's an epic turnaround).

The leader of the bunch.
There was a good article on the ABC website during the week about people voting more out of spite, rather than putting faith in the party they are voting for. It was certainly the case in the last federal election and seems to be the case in recent state elections. IMO lazy protest voting leads to bad governments.
Malcolm Turnbull could be PM by easter going by some in the media including Laurie Oakes

We Await Silent Tristero's Empire
Trying to redo the garden yesterday, especially the front yard, we've got the worst (utterly neglected) one in the street. Ripping out all the rubbish the previous owners planted.
Now, I'm 38, never found to be allergic to anything in my life. Practically indestrucible. Until I tried to cut down our giant cactus shrub.
Got the chainsaw, ripping out the leaves to get to the core, sap flying everywhere. Start feeling a bit itchy, i figure I've been sweating for a while, it's nothing. I scratch a little. And a bit more. My arms. My knees. Then my arms again. After about ten minutes of non-stop scratching I knew something was wrong; all tools were downed and it was cold shower and Solvol scrub time. I was so close to just telling the girlfriend, "make it stop". The only parts of me exposed were my forearms because the shirt sleeves were rolled up and my knees because i garden in an old pair of jeans with ripped knees. Thank God Almighty there wasn't more.
In about half an hour I'm going boots / pants / long-sleeves / mask with the chainsaw to get rid of it. Pray for me.
