Hera-nui-te-Pō 👑 @herapls.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I think his hesitancy was because how young she is, but the derm reassured us she's seeing it in kids younger and younger so no dramas prescribing it. C doesn't have cystic acne but it's absolutely persistent hence the isotretinoin route. It might be worth enquiring if Mr 15's just doesn't clear. 020
Hera-nui-te-Pō 👑 @herapls.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Our GP is fine but going public meant having to wait for public dermatology to get back to him when he sent requests for advice on the oratane (because he acknowledged it was not his specialty) and it took forever so he's like "you're insured, let's just send you to the private derm". Boom. Done. 110
Hera-nui-te-Pō 👑 @herapls.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Actually! Our 9yo has just been prescribed isotretinoin after 8 months of trialling topical and antibiotic options. Literally took one request to refer her to a private derm (thank you health insurance) for them to take one look at her & go "yup, low does oratane for 3 months then we'll reevaluate" 230
Hera-nui-te-Pō 👑 @herapls.bsky.social · 27/07/2026What up nerds I'm selling 2x seated tickets for maiden and Megadeth cos we'd rather go to SOAD and Faith No More lol so if you're interested to buy my tickets chur. secure.ticketmaster.co.nz/rs/24006459B... 011
Hera-nui-te-Pō 👑 @herapls.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Told my manager he could retire and sent him this picture of my new supervisor. 2130
Hera-nui-te-Pō 👑 @herapls.bsky.social · 07/07/2026I don't care what the fuck happens anywhere I just sat here for about 3 minutes listening to my 9yo kid sing along perfectly to My Own Worst Enemy by Lit I've absolutely clocked parenting. 0160

Hera-nui-te-Pō 👑 @herapls.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Otherwise I'd be waiting a while and turns out I am impatient like the adhd. 😂 GP is also a GC and send thru my forms super fast. 020
Hera-nui-te-Pō 👑 @herapls.bsky.social · 06/07/2026The private route has cost me about 1200-1300 through Positive Mind Works. I had Dr Anita Must & she was fantastic. 750 for first consult, 530 for the 2nd. I only went private cos I have health insurance that covered the first appointment and I could scrape $ together for the 2nd. 120
Hera-nui-te-Pō 👑 @herapls.bsky.social · 06/07/2026I'm sorry it's taking so long. Public really is such a quagmire of waiting and navigating the system. 😮💨 100

Hera-nui-te-Pō 👑 @herapls.bsky.social · 06/07/2026The effort to maintain a sourdough starter legit seems more intense than raising my kid at this point. 120
Hera-nui-te-Pō 👑 @herapls.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Oh now that's annoying - but I'm glad you got a prompt reply and it made sense!! Is it common or a one off? Cos if it was something that continuously happened then you might benefit from a special tax code! 120
Hera-nui-te-Pō 👑 @herapls.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Also withholding tax is usually only about 20% which often isn't enough if you're also earning paye from multiple sources. Key is to take a look at your ytd annual earnings when you accept those contracts to see if it would likely chuck you into the next tax bracket and put Extra aside accordingly. 010
Hera-nui-te-Pō 👑 @herapls.bsky.social · 03/07/2026(keeping in mind that calculator doesn't include the acc earner levy). 110
Hera-nui-te-Pō 👑 @herapls.bsky.social · 03/07/2026codes for your TOTAL annual gross income, the paye deducted won't be accurate and you'll end up with a bill. Easiest way to see how it's worked out is to put your entire gross income (from all sources) into the "tax on annual income" calculator and see what it spits out vs what you actually paid. 110
Hera-nui-te-Pō 👑 @herapls.bsky.social · 03/07/2026I know this is well late Whaea, so arohamai but the way paye works is that it assumes you'll earn that amount for an entire financial year and taxes you accordingly. If you have multiple sources of income, periods of time where those income sources overlap, or aren't using the correct secondary tax 210

Hera-nui-te-Pō 👑 @herapls.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Yeah my credit card is in pain cos I impulsively decided I'd do A7X and A Perfect Circle as well as Maiden/Megadeth. Thankfully the first two my partner doesn't want to go to but still. 😬 110
