Chiropractic solution?

Based on a few reviews, my fiancee wanted to try out a chiro, the reviews below:

Typed them up for your reading pleasure:
Health prior to treatment:
vertigo and feeling of disorientation
ENT sepcialist have told me there is nothing they can do as my ears are fine and it is due to nerve

Benefit:
no more vertigo or disorientation after one adjustment
trigger finger condition improved substantially
numbness on left hand when awake in the morning is gone
neck movement is much better turning my head is less restricting
able to get back to jogging and cycling
-Micheal chiam, 6 Aug 2015


Health prior to treatment:
I have always been very health, never sick and exercising every day. But one day, working on my 
computer, I was suddenly hit by a massive headache on the whole left side of my head.
Blurry vision and so much pain i couldn't sleep.
So I went to various doctors and nothing was improving, almost got scammed by another clinic promising
 me full recovery in 6 months providing 7k payment up front.
So I called my friend Dr.Greg whom I know from skydiving togehter
He told me to go fo a radio of my neck and then to come to his practice.

Benefit: 
The beneif was immediate and huge.
Beyond that, Dr. Greg also explains everything in simple terms, as a result, my health in not only 
better butmy understanding of my body in daily life is much greater.
On the 1st session, my headache was gone.
within 3 sessions, my neck was recovered and i haven't had any issues since!

Anyone tried this? Seems promising.

ebay: How to set to international shipping?

I had actually posted my item for a weeks now and when I did a check on google, then into ebay to look for my listing. I couldn't find it.

My first suspicion was that I didn't "enable" international shipping thus it wasn't listed. But I could not remember even seeing the option! I'm from Singapore and all the shipping related was for local only.

Even after a quick google search I couldn't find the answer, something like going into Account settings and shipping preferences.. Nope, not what I want.

The answer lies when you are listing the item:

Viola! Item with international shipping!

You can see the item here (please support!):

Oh crap, scratched the bumper on the Smove car

I googled hoping to find out more information on anyone's experience after scratching Smove's car, but didn't find any..

Hopefully you found this and can better handle the situation or be mentally prepared.

The scratch was something like this:
Notice some paint is gone, check the spot and see if it was the paint/debris from the other object you scratched.

If the paint is not deep, I would suggest rushing home to get a polish and use the heck out of your elbows to polishing that area to a shine as fast as possible.

Then came the process of the smove staff hounding you, which doesn't take very long.

2 days later, they call by a landline number which I didn't answer, after trying twice they sent a text introducing themselves, which I ignored as well.

Finally a 2nd text was sent and I replied, they were asking me to call back.

When I called back, "Sir, on xxx date did you scratch the car?"
"Yes"
"Yes la hor, ok we will send the car to the workshop and get it done as fast as possible. Then send you the charges"
"Can you waive the administrative charge?"
"I will try sir, but it is to be approved"
"Thank you, bye bye"

I know about this administrative charge as a post on the Hardwarezone forums came up on google, which stated this charge was due to you as the user, not reporting about it and so paying for the manpower for investigation. The post was something along the lines of a repair on the pillar of the car. Which the total charge was like $575! God damn that's a lot!

So being mentally prepared, I waited for the charge. Mahciam Army tio charge ah.

Eventually the bill came:

On Top of that repair cost they still added in $60 time loss and $40 for manpower to send in to workshop. Due to my "best" co-operation there is no insurance claims or cost, whatever that means.

With a little research, I found cheaper spray paint quotes starting from $150, questionable panel knocking which I think the car did not need at all, it doesn't help that the workshop that did the repair had no working website..


P.S. I did find somewhat of a semblance of a facebook page where a Smove user (I'm guessing only) left an interesting review for them! Go see! No prizes that the bill looked like a rip off!

Haven't been driving ever since the incident. With no plans to continue, until maybe ATD expiry kicks in and a reduction in drivers, drives up the incentives (pun intended).

Again, share this post, comment with suggestions/ideas/what you could like to hear!

Cheers~!
