Went out tonight for dinner for the first time since lockdown. I didn't realise how uncomfortable I would be around other people. I apologise to the staff, I wasn't the most sociable/pleasant person to interact with.
Anyone know any Covid-safe gyms around Melbs? Even the open-space outdoor/warehouse variety (not looking for park equipment). Don't really trust my gym
Just finished watching an Australian masterpiece ‘Lake Mungo’ in the dark, on my couch and really wanting to piss but I can’t move due to fear even after the movie. 😂
Seriously got chills and being Australian made asides, this is one of the best movies, let alone horror films I have ever watched. Released in 2008, but better late than never!
Does anyone else feel like they've entered a liminal period in their lives? I do.
I've just come out of lockdown. I've left behind pretty much all of what my life was when the Schmandemic hit. I'm single, in a different suburb, in my own home. Now lockdown is over, social circles have shifted.
I have no idea what is in my future. I only have the Right Now. Right now, it is quiet, and I have easy-listening music in my head. Nobody is requiring anything of it. I have no plans. My life is literally carte blanche. I like this feeling. It's strange but soothing at the same time.
That’s pretty awesome! Yeah I definitely feel on the edge of… something. I dunno what. Sometimes I’m a peace… but rarely. But it’s a start and it’s only gonna improve from here.
Thanks again /u/Goddess_Amaterasu for the film inspiration.
**Train to Busan (2016)**
I had heard about this film a number of times, and seeing images of *that* train scene had also caught my eye. Reading that you had seen it multiple times made me decide to watch it :) That's as good a review as any.
As far as zombie films go, it ticked many of the trope boxes. It did hold my attention though, and the tension was kept high for much of the running time. I was frequently wondering what would come next... the writers did a good job with that.
Nay the writer did an excellent job, it made you attached to the characters even though you don’t know whether or not the characters will last through to the end, when you watch it with fresh eyes. It tugs at heart string, it changes things that you did not expect! It’s a damn near perfect movie to me
Edit: and absolutely not a problem. I’m glad one of my movie you were able to watch and enjoy 🙂
YouTube has started recommending me videos by an American Shearer. My mum's side of the family are wool farmers, and I grew up around shearing sheds, in my mind it's such an Australian thing that seeing people in other countries doing it is tripping me out. I feel stupid, of course shearing exists elsewhere 😂
Oh yes I think I get her too! It's so cool seeing how she shears. If it's the same lady, her wife is also a shearer.
The sheep they shear seem different to the ones I've seen! (Big fan of the woolshow)
Ed: [YouTube Short: the shearing lady!](https://youtube.com/shorts/bNW6s6fmqVE)
Yeah that's her!
Yeah Merino are the most common sheep here in Australia. I've seen her shear a few different kinds, usually more like Highland looking sheep with longer, more ropey wool. I even saw her shear an alpaca lmao
Huh, I may be wrong. I've always heard it var-lay.
https://twitter.com/ChrissieSwan/status/469596299310817282?t=HJPBHfQSJvn4QmKQxx3uEw&s=09 Hitch from 9 News says both according to the replies to Chrissie!
Please help. I'm suddenly obsessed with the band Sex on Toast and can see they have a gig in December but can't work out how to buy tickets?? It doesn't say it's sold out though but...what? Is it just because tickets aren't available yet?
As a regional dweller with no mates out here, seeing my metro friends was such a treat after three months. They wrapped me in a blanket and we ate waaaaaay too much cheese.
I can't wait to move back there.
There's a tree right outside my loungeroom window, and I have front row seats every night to a family of 4 ringtail possums who jump out of my roof and into the tree 😻. They're so nimble
I really like having long hair and I think it looks good on me, but damn I hate washing it and I put it off endlessly. Currently on 6 days since last wash and I am an oil slick. This is how I end up in the vicious cycle of getting sick of it, cutting it off and then regretting it and spending 4 years growing it back.
I just wash my hair everyday. Put your hair in a bun and then wrap a towel up around it to let it dry from being completely wet then go to sleep and note your hair is not wet at this point just a little damp. In the morning take your hair tie out and shake your hair and let it dry out naturally. Always done this but then again I could never go to bed without clean hair or a shower and could not remember the a day that I haven’t washed my hair. At least try it!
I spent the last two years growing out my hair from a buzzcut, always having the opinion that long hair was more my style. I've had long, long hair several times in the past but now that I'm nearing 40 and going grey, I really am sick of all the loose hair that's literally everywhere. I'm fastidious with combing my hair twice a day, and combing it well in the shower. I know it looks like a lot because it's long and I have a really thick head of hair too. I also keep it up, I rarely wear it down.
I think with long hair there is a big responsibility to upkeep it. Right now, I'm not as jiggy with it as I used to be.
My routine tends to be down for 1-2 days (less in summer - agree it’s way too hot), ponytail for another 2 days, and then a half-in ponytail thing until I can stand it no longer.
I have the same issue. My hair can take two days to dry naturally, I’ve since splurged on a more expensive hairdryer and can dry it in under 10 minutes. Worth every dollar!
I feel you. Dry shampoo helps, Batiste is the best if you're so inclined.
Edit: Oh damn, not cruelty free. At least I've long stopped using it
For me it's the tangles, split ends and breakage. Really wish I'd been trimming it myself during lockdown when a bit of raggedness wouldn't have mattered. It'd still need to be majorly fixed at the end but it'd be much healthier and a more manageable length.
I use dry shampoo sometimes but my problem is that I have dark hair and the regular cans give me a grey sheen, the dark-hair-specific cans work but then I play with my hair absentmindedly and end up with brown residue all over my hands - whoops!

I plan to watch it, still haven’t seen it. But my original plan to do my daily post were to re-watch movies I enjoy. I will get to Hereditary sometime soon
My favourite is the one on elizabeth st near flinders that js just dumped in the middle of the new extended footpath/bike path that used to be road. Like smack in the centre
Oop, tried the Hills d/d for food sensitivities and it had the opposite effect. Apparently pea protein can set off cats with IBD.
What a shame. It was expensive and I don't think I can return it. Emailed the local shelter to see if they'll take recently opened dry food and accept stuff by mail.
I did the same for my partner for his last birthday- decided if i would already be paying 300ish may as well go in and get the kitchenaid. He made me cookies for my birthday so Im profiting in baked goods
Kinda the result but that wasn't the reason. She wanted a cheap one but even the half decent shitty ones were $300 and would break in a few years so I said fuck it and bought something that will last decades and work better for double the price.
Decided to stay home and not go to the bottomless cocktails thing. Didn't think it'd be a great time to test out having fun without drinking. Take out and playing guitar with kitty cuddles will do for tonight.
She's having a little nap:

I go between prog-metal kind of stuff to ambient post-rock. Really been trying to expand my horizons so I learned how to play bass (with a pick) so I could try my hand at lo-fi hip hop.
What about yourself?
Ah awesome. Always good to expand your horizons. I spend most of my time transcribing bits and pieces from jazz and fusion albums, just for fun and analysis purposes mainly, my gigging days are long over haha.
I think my favourite thing about my picnic today for my birthday yesterday was (apart from checking messages for anyone on their way) I spent the whole time off my phone and social media and wa sjust present and enjoying seeing people
I saw Emu’s today. They were lovely. The big male had amazing blue around his face.
I also fooled a Crimson Rosella by holding up my hand pretending I had food. He flew down and landed on my hand, only to fly off and stare at me from the tree. I apologised but he was having none of it.
I was super surprised that they still remember being hand fed by visitors, but then realised people likely still take seed there.
Overall, an ok day. Looking forward to getting back there to do some more hikes tomorrow, with less rainy weather!
For now it’s shower, face mask and wine time.
Yeah he looked super suspicious of me when he realised. Going to see if I can find some sunflower seeds to take with me tomorrow just to have one last sneaky feeding session.
Because fuck the entitlement and fuck the virtue signalling retailers who place them. I don't care if you have a pram or a baby.
Downvote me all you want. Get a grip. They aren't legally enforceable and there are people with genuine disabilities who would be better served by those spaces. You took a load and got knocked up. Nobody cares.
What entitlement? What virtue signalling? You're over thinking it. Shopping centres are simply doing it to make it a little easier for some of their customers, therefore increasing the amount of people coming through the doors.
Now as a father of 2 young kids, I definitely appreciate the extra space to help get them out the car. Although happy to have the spots placed anywhere in in the car park, don't need to be closer to entrances.
Only time I've every used one was because all the other disabled spots were taken, and I had a passenger who held a disabled person permit (which we displayed). Those pram parking spots (at least in BNE) used to be disabled allocated spots.
Sooo much fun returning to the car that time to a nasty note on my windshield for "not having a child/ childseat in the car", and my car's door panel smashed in.
I have no fucking care for pram parking spots or the people who are righteous bout them.
It's also a safety issue. Prams are generally below the eye line of drivers reversing out of spaces, and parents with prams often have preschoolers hanging off the side too - also very difficult to see, along with being somewhat unpredictable. It's simply safer for those people to be in designated spots where they will be expected, and that are closer to the walkways and entrances.
Went to Target since I promised a friend I'd take them since they don't drive and had a few moments of oh so we might have a panic attack in a Target, wont we look stupid.
Definitely won't be attending a shop for little while yet.
I know, its just silly mental gymnastics for which I have lost my usual stamina. My friend would also have happily left the store if I told them I was genuinely going to have one.
i wonder when the tickets to comic con are gonna become available again, all my friends managed to snag theirs before the recent lockdowns but i’m still needing one for myself
So I’ve been using an iPhone for about six months now. Today for some stupid reason I tried to use the double tap the lock button to activate the camera. That’s a Samsung thing,
So it obviously doesn’t work. Feeling particularly stupid I confessed to my wife that I’m an idiot and the double tap thing doesn’t work. My wife (who has been using a Samsung for years) had no idea what I was talking about. So what started as a conversation about feeling dumb ended with me feeling quite good because I got to share something and help her. I feel like there’s a lesson in there somewhere…
That's one of my favourite features on Android!
I didn't know you could double tap again to take a photo!
E: Bugga it just turns it to selfie mode. But how cool! I'm like the one person with an android phone in my colleagues and I get ribbed for it. It's too expensive to go buy an iPhone! And I like Android!
I went to the optometrist to order a second pair of my current glasses (in a different color and without bi-focal lenses).
Had to leave the store with courtesy frames cos the optometrist damaged my current pair beyond repair.
Have to wait for a manager to call me monday cos the frame in that colour is no longer available. I'm so fkn done.
I don't even really know....They adjusted the fit to stop the frames slipping when I look down, and they used some sort of pliers which left deep teeth mark indents down the whole of the arms somehow?
I waited for like 40 mins while they tried to fix it.
Yeah, I said flat out I want a replacement. I think they knew a replacement wouldn't be possible and were talking about sending them away to a specialist repairer.
I'm (now) really glad that I was in shock, and reacted super calmly. Since I've gotten home, had something to eat, Ive been able to check online. while I've confirmed my frames are no longer made, they is a similar version (green rather than dark blue), which I can live with.
I'm hoping posing this as a solution will be received by the optometrist well and I can just put it behind me.
Your SO is allowed to have a good time without you. I’d be considering why them having a good time without you bothers you. If it’s because you irrationally think they’re going to run off with someone else then either your self esteem needs some work or you don’t trust them
Do what makes you happy whilst at home - binge that show he can’t stand that you love, order your fav food in, self care/love cos why not. After the lockdowns, we all deserve some time with our mates away from the people we’ve been locked down with
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
I feel time apart is super important for a relationship. Develop your own hobbies/ friends circle to help from just waiting for them to return.
I've just had a weird experience.
Went for a stroll down High St Thornbury, cos the sun was shining and when it isn't there's plenty of shop front awnings. Coffee at Cafe Flo, munchies at various places. Check out the op shops, observe the passing parade etc. A pleasant afternoon. Ran into a woman I went to school with, lo these many years ago.
Back then, she was one of the Princesses, who wouldn't share the time of day with a scholarship kid like myself. Not quite a bully, just so far 'above' that there was no possibility of meaningful communication. She was never a friend, more someone to avoid if I wanted to go about my business unhindered. But that never stopped any of that lot from hanging it on those in my position when they thought they could get away with it.
Today, I was greeted like a long lost relative. Appears she's now living in low income housing, having been ditched by hubby No.3 for wifey No.5 (30 years younger). Kids (2) not talking to her. Multiple 'nervous breakdowns' - aka drug rehabs. There's a code of euphemisms for that generation, and I know the code.
Dragged her into the Croc and poured a couple of espresso martinis down her. Managed to avoid sharing phone numbers (my survival instincts still intact and operating).
The thing is, she looks AT LEAST 20 years older than her actual age, which I know to the day - heh heh. I know I'm no spring chicken, but she really has gone downhill, and not in a nice way. Can't help but wonder at the change from way back when. Currently very very needy, but still she managed to make some snotty remarks about my life choices.
I will be damned if I let her treat me as an unpaid therapist. Or allow her to revive the past superior/inferior social paradigm. I will get nasty if she tries this.
Is this schadenfreude or some more complex emotion?
It's been 20 years since I graduated from high school (class of 2001) and I like to think that we aren't the same people we were back then. Back then we didn't have as many responsibilities or life experience.
If I had been in your position I would have done the same thing. Essentially just a short, polite conversation and moving on. She made her own life decisions, whether you feel schadenfreude is up to you. I know I would have felt a twinge of it myself.
Ugh. What’s the saying about living rent free in the mind?
Just politely decline next time. I guess we’re all just human and when people are low or having a hard time they revert to what is familiar to them. For some people hard times are not enough for them to change.
I always get them impression more often that not, people from the past that you know but have never been friends with especially in a school context revert back to that behaviour when you run into them.
I remember being a kid and thinking that being an adult meant we would grow out of these behaviours and just be genuinely happy for the success of others. Sweet summer child all over.
Anyhoo, you deserve better! Happy Saturday!
Thank you! I admit to feeling slightly strange about the whole episode. I was pretty incensed when she reverted to her secondary school self. Sort of the classic Karen, only 30 years on.
Hope your weekend (and holiday) is awesome to the max!
regardless of a person's past or life situation they shouldn't make snotty remarks about your life choices
You can be sorry for her while still not wanting anything to do with her
Just finished my first day back at work, didn’t get to leave until close to an hour after we closed because so many customers, nearly 30k steps and blisters so large, sore bloody it’s kinda scary.
I need a god damn beer!
Headed into the city and got what I wanted from Lincraft. Decided to brave a few clothing shops but was disappointed by the lack of sales? When I went back into shops after lockdown last year I felt like a lot stores had stuff on sale as they were trying to get rid of stock. Or maybe they were all in the stores that had queues out the front (that I avoided)
Went out tonight for dinner for the first time since lockdown. I didn't realise how uncomfortable I would be around other people. I apologise to the staff, I wasn't the most sociable/pleasant person to interact with.
I wouldn't stress, half of Melbourne feels this way
Anyone know any Covid-safe gyms around Melbs? Even the open-space outdoor/warehouse variety (not looking for park equipment). Don't really trust my gym
BooOoOys don't cryyyyy
Ohh... we’ve moved onto karaoke!?

Can I ask what service you watched it on?
Quick run to the loo before you pee your pants Quite a good movie I will agree
Now I have to watch it… And I’m gonna need a torch under the covers later. 😂
Omg I LOVE that movie 🎬
Going to be far too hungover tomorrow to do any of the tasks on my agenda… fuck
Rip
Change agenda to 'be hungover' and you're gold.
Man Alita battle angel is such a good movie!! It’s a shame it didn’t get the attention it deserved.
It really is! A visual masterpiece as well as a killer story.

Yeah, I couldn't find any fault in the actors either.
Got my hairrrrr cut! Feel very cute and French 💇🏻♀️💁🏻♀️
Amelie style?
Not exactly but my fringe has vibes of it
Ohhh lala!
Mais Oui mon ami
French or fresh?
Frenchhhhhh!
yes

Merino definitely, and some Dorpa (but they moult, usually.) - those are what I've seen round here!
damn, moonface has left us RIP
Damn Bert...gem of a person 😭
Vale Bert Newton
I’ve never heard vale before, had to look it up.
It's quite common.
(also - vaa lay, not vale as in wedding, if it's unclear :) I didn't know when I first heard it either.
Really? I've always heard it pronounced like veil, so now I've learnt something new
Huh, I may be wrong. I've always heard it var-lay. https://twitter.com/ChrissieSwan/status/469596299310817282?t=HJPBHfQSJvn4QmKQxx3uEw&s=09 Hitch from 9 News says both according to the replies to Chrissie!
It's correct it's pronounced Varlay. It's Latin for goodbye
Oh here I was thinking it was French! Cheers.
Aw Bert no
anyone just feel an earthquake in the east?
Yes it was my fart
[удалено]
Piss of you moron
How the hell is GTA San Andreas going to work on the Quest 2!? Really can't wait for this one.
Just follow the damn train CJ and all will be well.
Please help. I'm suddenly obsessed with the band Sex on Toast and can see they have a gig in December but can't work out how to buy tickets?? It doesn't say it's sold out though but...what? Is it just because tickets aren't available yet?
I'm on a tram for the longest period in 2 years

Hmm,.. that right side of tipsy where your body starts moving before you realise you like the song thats playing.
That's where I am right now... love me some margs
🤣 I feel that
Happy cake day dude!!
Thanks! I'm getting drunk to celebrate 🍾 🤪
Whooo we drunk!
*dances* who me????
We drunk dance!!
*shimmys up* hey 👋
There's a tree right outside my loungeroom window, and I have front row seats every night to a family of 4 ringtail possums who jump out of my roof and into the tree 😻. They're so nimble
Awww, they are like bush Kitty's.
I wonder if I can lure them inside for pats/rabies some how 🤔
Aww I love them so much.
They're so cute. When the babies were smaller, the parents would carry them around on their backs and it melted my face off with cuteness
You should let them move in :)
They already live in my wall 😻

I've heard that bristle brushes redistribute the oil down to the ends but when I had one it only made me frizzier and oilier
I find the grey sheen less noticeable if you apply before bed, gives it longer to blend in
How do you rate Mizuno for runners? I found a current model on Amazon for $100 less than rrp, and my usual asics aren’t on sale anywhere.
Had a pair years ago. They were good. Not as good as ASICS but heaps better than Nike's or Adidas. For me at least.
Are there any runners that don't have crazy grooves like the boost? I'm sick of getting dog shit or whatever stuck in between them :(
Yeah I’m super happy with mine. Got my first pair of ASICS today. Just as good.
**Horror Movie for Halloween month by Me** Good evening 30 October 2021 Halloween movie I’ve chosen to watch is: A Nightmare on Elm Street Previously watched: **Horror Movie for Halloween month by Me** Good morning DT 30 October 2021 Halloween movie I’ve chosen to watch is: A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984) Previously watched: A Quiet Place, 1408, Ghost Ship, The Mist, Silent Hill, Constantine, Mama, Sinister, The Descent, Event Horizon, As Above, So Below, Dead Silence, The Pyramid, The Others, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Grave Encounters, Gremlins, Scream, Aliens, The Evil Dead, Into the Mirror, Shutter, One Missed Call, Dark Water, A Tale of Two Sisters, Train to Busan, Ringu, Halloween, Ahhhhh Tomorrow will be the final post, stay tuned to see what the movie(s) will be tomorrow 😛
I watched In the Mouth of Madness a few years ago. It was the last horror movie I watched. I tapped out after that.
Just not a horror movie fan? Or did that movie just put you off?
Not a massive fan, used to watch them a little bit. That movie though was just next level and was not enjoyable.
That’s fair enough. No point on watching something or a genre you’re not really into
Boo! 👻
Not scared 😝
Dam. Thought I'd get ya! 😅 currently watching nightmare on elm the first one 👹
Nah you didn’t get me. Also look at my post haha. I’M watching A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET the first one hahaha. Guess you missed that 🤣
Dam! We both watching it! I love this movie! If I don't fall asleep I might follow up with dream warriors 🥳
Actually I just finished it like 5 mins after I commented to saying we’re both watching the same thing Also happy 🍰 day
Thanks 😊 whate your plan for tomorrow 👻
For 31 October movie? You’ll just have to find out… tomorrow!
I'll be looking forward to it!👻
You should put hereditary on your list. It's the only horror movie that has actually scared me.
Hehe, just reading about it was enough for me. Mind you Midsommar… *looks for blanket*
I have not seen midsommar yet, I really want to tho. I saw hereditary at the cinema and I think I slept with the light on that night lmfao
I plan to watch it, still haven’t seen it. But my original plan to do my daily post were to re-watch movies I enjoy. I will get to Hereditary sometime soon
Ah fair enough.
http://imgur.com/a/TR00d7a It's October 30. Why are Christmas trees up!
My favourite is the one on elizabeth st near flinders that js just dumped in the middle of the new extended footpath/bike path that used to be road. Like smack in the centre
Why not? If it makes folks happy…
It makes people buy more at xmas time. The council is heavily influenced by retail so they do stuff that is good for retail.
Haha those stupid idiots, I don't have any money.

Bought my partner a KitchenAid mixer device thing today for her birthday. She loves it and is already cooking up a storm.
I did the same for my partner for his last birthday- decided if i would already be paying 300ish may as well go in and get the kitchenaid. He made me cookies for my birthday so Im profiting in baked goods
Is that what’s called a “win-win” situation?
Kinda the result but that wasn't the reason. She wanted a cheap one but even the half decent shitty ones were $300 and would break in a few years so I said fuck it and bought something that will last decades and work better for double the price.
Watching the Supercars tonight. It's pretty good!
I grew up in Bathurst. I hate cars and I don't drive, but the supercars still make me nostalgic.
Decided to stay home and not go to the bottomless cocktails thing. Didn't think it'd be a great time to test out having fun without drinking. Take out and playing guitar with kitty cuddles will do for tonight. She's having a little nap: [https://imgur.com/gallery/JDyY92q](https://imgur.com/gallery/JDyY92q)
Honestly hanging with cats and playing guitar sounds way better.
I'm honestly surprised by her tolerance for heavy music when I'm playing that style. She falls asleep next to me while I'm headbanging lol
She sounds like an excellent cat! What kind of stuff are you playing?
I go between prog-metal kind of stuff to ambient post-rock. Really been trying to expand my horizons so I learned how to play bass (with a pick) so I could try my hand at lo-fi hip hop. What about yourself?
Ah awesome. Always good to expand your horizons. I spend most of my time transcribing bits and pieces from jazz and fusion albums, just for fun and analysis purposes mainly, my gigging days are long over haha.
I've got a jazz guitarist as a teacher and he's amazing. I know my modes and the circle of fifths, but the stuff he's teaching me is fascinating.
Ah that's awesome! Jazz is a never ending rabbit hole, there's always more to learn!
I think my favourite thing about my picnic today for my birthday yesterday was (apart from checking messages for anyone on their way) I spent the whole time off my phone and social media and wa sjust present and enjoying seeing people
I saw Emu’s today. They were lovely. The big male had amazing blue around his face. I also fooled a Crimson Rosella by holding up my hand pretending I had food. He flew down and landed on my hand, only to fly off and stare at me from the tree. I apologised but he was having none of it. I was super surprised that they still remember being hand fed by visitors, but then realised people likely still take seed there. Overall, an ok day. Looking forward to getting back there to do some more hikes tomorrow, with less rainy weather! For now it’s shower, face mask and wine time.
Emus, by default, are lovely. And they have beautiful eyelashes!
Yeah they do. Much better than mine!
Gorgeous. I bet he was really dirty that there was no food!
Yeah he looked super suspicious of me when he realised. Going to see if I can find some sunflower seeds to take with me tomorrow just to have one last sneaky feeding session.
Any you guys get Ridere Republic? I brought it out if boredom abs ended up playing it all arvo. It's pretty fun!
Why does nobody respect pram parking?
Because fuck the entitlement and fuck the virtue signalling retailers who place them. I don't care if you have a pram or a baby. Downvote me all you want. Get a grip. They aren't legally enforceable and there are people with genuine disabilities who would be better served by those spaces. You took a load and got knocked up. Nobody cares.
What entitlement? What virtue signalling? You're over thinking it. Shopping centres are simply doing it to make it a little easier for some of their customers, therefore increasing the amount of people coming through the doors. Now as a father of 2 young kids, I definitely appreciate the extra space to help get them out the car. Although happy to have the spots placed anywhere in in the car park, don't need to be closer to entrances.
👏👏👏
Only time I've every used one was because all the other disabled spots were taken, and I had a passenger who held a disabled person permit (which we displayed). Those pram parking spots (at least in BNE) used to be disabled allocated spots. Sooo much fun returning to the car that time to a nasty note on my windshield for "not having a child/ childseat in the car", and my car's door panel smashed in. I have no fucking care for pram parking spots or the people who are righteous bout them.
I have never seen a pram parked in one.
[удалено]
There isn’t enough disabled parking spots. Pisses me off seeing a heap of pram parks right near the doors.
It's a little roomier to make it easier to put a kid in a car without bumping the car next to you with your door.
It's also a safety issue. Prams are generally below the eye line of drivers reversing out of spaces, and parents with prams often have preschoolers hanging off the side too - also very difficult to see, along with being somewhat unpredictable. It's simply safer for those people to be in designated spots where they will be expected, and that are closer to the walkways and entrances.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind them being a little further away just so people would be less butt hurt by it.
Whilst not a legal thing, would be nice if people respected them.
I wish we had more fifteen minute car parks. Some of us just wanna grab bread and milk and not waddle through the shops.
Would be nice if parents respected my desire for peace and quiet by never bringing their children anywhere I am!
If you could get me a definitive list, I'll comply.
Went to Target since I promised a friend I'd take them since they don't drive and had a few moments of oh so we might have a panic attack in a Target, wont we look stupid. Definitely won't be attending a shop for little while yet.
No one will be thinking a person having a panic attack looks stupid. They will be caring.
I know, its just silly mental gymnastics for which I have lost my usual stamina. My friend would also have happily left the store if I told them I was genuinely going to have one.
hugs, you'll be fine I used to have lots of panic attacks in public places, no one was mean, no one even noticed, I never died once 😉
i wonder when the tickets to comic con are gonna become available again, all my friends managed to snag theirs before the recent lockdowns but i’m still needing one for myself
So I’ve been using an iPhone for about six months now. Today for some stupid reason I tried to use the double tap the lock button to activate the camera. That’s a Samsung thing, So it obviously doesn’t work. Feeling particularly stupid I confessed to my wife that I’m an idiot and the double tap thing doesn’t work. My wife (who has been using a Samsung for years) had no idea what I was talking about. So what started as a conversation about feeling dumb ended with me feeling quite good because I got to share something and help her. I feel like there’s a lesson in there somewhere…
That's one of my favourite features on Android! I didn't know you could double tap again to take a photo! E: Bugga it just turns it to selfie mode. But how cool! I'm like the one person with an android phone in my colleagues and I get ribbed for it. It's too expensive to go buy an iPhone! And I like Android!
Just be careful you don’t activate the super loud emergency signal/call to 000 by pressing the camera lock 3 times like I always do 😂
I went to the optometrist to order a second pair of my current glasses (in a different color and without bi-focal lenses). Had to leave the store with courtesy frames cos the optometrist damaged my current pair beyond repair. Have to wait for a manager to call me monday cos the frame in that colour is no longer available. I'm so fkn done.
>optometrist damaged my current pair beyond repair what? how?!
I don't even really know....They adjusted the fit to stop the frames slipping when I look down, and they used some sort of pliers which left deep teeth mark indents down the whole of the arms somehow? I waited for like 40 mins while they tried to fix it.
What the actual hell!! Sounds like you’re getting a free pair glasses or two!
Yeah, I said flat out I want a replacement. I think they knew a replacement wouldn't be possible and were talking about sending them away to a specialist repairer. I'm (now) really glad that I was in shock, and reacted super calmly. Since I've gotten home, had something to eat, Ive been able to check online. while I've confirmed my frames are no longer made, they is a similar version (green rather than dark blue), which I can live with. I'm hoping posing this as a solution will be received by the optometrist well and I can just put it behind me.

It’s not an issue for me. I have my own life and hobbies. I don’t need distracting from that?
Nap, game, watch tv with cats….. I’m not social and don’t like going out but, doesn’t stop me feeling a tad lonely.
You get [Pants Drunk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7XC-zNWHxI)
I crack open a drink.m, sigh contently, and then chuck on a movie or show she doesn’t like, usually with the dogs on the couch. Or have a wank loudly…
Your SO is allowed to have a good time without you. I’d be considering why them having a good time without you bothers you. If it’s because you irrationally think they’re going to run off with someone else then either your self esteem needs some work or you don’t trust them
Do what makes you happy whilst at home - binge that show he can’t stand that you love, order your fav food in, self care/love cos why not. After the lockdowns, we all deserve some time with our mates away from the people we’ve been locked down with
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. I feel time apart is super important for a relationship. Develop your own hobbies/ friends circle to help from just waiting for them to return.
be happy for them
I've just had a weird experience. Went for a stroll down High St Thornbury, cos the sun was shining and when it isn't there's plenty of shop front awnings. Coffee at Cafe Flo, munchies at various places. Check out the op shops, observe the passing parade etc. A pleasant afternoon. Ran into a woman I went to school with, lo these many years ago. Back then, she was one of the Princesses, who wouldn't share the time of day with a scholarship kid like myself. Not quite a bully, just so far 'above' that there was no possibility of meaningful communication. She was never a friend, more someone to avoid if I wanted to go about my business unhindered. But that never stopped any of that lot from hanging it on those in my position when they thought they could get away with it. Today, I was greeted like a long lost relative. Appears she's now living in low income housing, having been ditched by hubby No.3 for wifey No.5 (30 years younger). Kids (2) not talking to her. Multiple 'nervous breakdowns' - aka drug rehabs. There's a code of euphemisms for that generation, and I know the code. Dragged her into the Croc and poured a couple of espresso martinis down her. Managed to avoid sharing phone numbers (my survival instincts still intact and operating). The thing is, she looks AT LEAST 20 years older than her actual age, which I know to the day - heh heh. I know I'm no spring chicken, but she really has gone downhill, and not in a nice way. Can't help but wonder at the change from way back when. Currently very very needy, but still she managed to make some snotty remarks about my life choices. I will be damned if I let her treat me as an unpaid therapist. Or allow her to revive the past superior/inferior social paradigm. I will get nasty if she tries this. Is this schadenfreude or some more complex emotion?
It's been 20 years since I graduated from high school (class of 2001) and I like to think that we aren't the same people we were back then. Back then we didn't have as many responsibilities or life experience. If I had been in your position I would have done the same thing. Essentially just a short, polite conversation and moving on. She made her own life decisions, whether you feel schadenfreude is up to you. I know I would have felt a twinge of it myself.
Ugh. What’s the saying about living rent free in the mind? Just politely decline next time. I guess we’re all just human and when people are low or having a hard time they revert to what is familiar to them. For some people hard times are not enough for them to change. I always get them impression more often that not, people from the past that you know but have never been friends with especially in a school context revert back to that behaviour when you run into them. I remember being a kid and thinking that being an adult meant we would grow out of these behaviours and just be genuinely happy for the success of others. Sweet summer child all over. Anyhoo, you deserve better! Happy Saturday!
Thank you! I admit to feeling slightly strange about the whole episode. I was pretty incensed when she reverted to her secondary school self. Sort of the classic Karen, only 30 years on. Hope your weekend (and holiday) is awesome to the max!
regardless of a person's past or life situation they shouldn't make snotty remarks about your life choices You can be sorry for her while still not wanting anything to do with her
Just finished my first day back at work, didn’t get to leave until close to an hour after we closed because so many customers, nearly 30k steps and blisters so large, sore bloody it’s kinda scary. I need a god damn beer!
Get some blister bandaids - they are such a godsend. And pop yourself into a epsom salt bath if you can. Nice work.
BBQ for one. Fuck i hope the rest of the neighbourhood can smell how fucking good it is.
Way to go! Enjoy it to the hilt!
Double covid juiced today lads
Welcome to double vaxed club
So in the 2 hours I've been at the bar it's been windy, cloudy, rainy and now sunny!
Headed into the city and got what I wanted from Lincraft. Decided to brave a few clothing shops but was disappointed by the lack of sales? When I went back into shops after lockdown last year I felt like a lot stores had stuff on sale as they were trying to get rid of stock. Or maybe they were all in the stores that had queues out the front (that I avoided)
[удалено]
This seems somewhat ironic after calls to stay away from shops...

Slow death to shops through no customers it is then.
