  • Love this time of the evening in summer. The angle of the sun is just perfect for highlighting the dust on every horizontal surface in my home. 😍 #blessed

  • Loud O Lady downstairs decided it was a fine day for a rare 1:30pm screw, which is great for her except I was in a work meeting and have a very good microphone.

    • On the bright side you could get a raise next review for enthusiasm.

    • They gonna think you had a porno on in the background while you work. 🤷‍♀️

      • lol nah I explained what was going on. Luckily it was only my internal team and they're cool. We had a bit of a laugh but I did try to stay muted for most the meeting.

    • When she finishes, play an applause track on loud

  • Fuck I feel shit. Friday night drinks have been postponed. Someone has brought great shame to this family.

    I had to put the bins out. I don't know if it's correct. Please mr/ms garbo please take my bins.

  • How dare PTV change my bus route. Now I can't tram in, I have to catch the train to Southern Cross.

    I swear, if they start doing level crossing removals during work hours, I will scream.

  • What an awkward, mentally tiring day. Just when I think I've had a "win" I realise I've actually had 2-5 days worth of "loss".

    Kicking back & watching Patheon season 1 on Prime. Really enjoying it. Distraction and blankets help.

  • How are there new meth addicts? Don't people know by now it's really bad?

    ( just came back from shopping and saw a few really hyper addicts in the streets.

    • I knew cigs were bad for me and I still started smoking.

      Someone that tries meth for the first time, I assume, is not doing well in life. Or bends to peer pressure and ends up addicted.

    • There was a guy on reddit who posted his story of trying I think it might have been herione once, figuring what the hell, once is fine and holy hell is it scary to read what happened and how quicky he became addicted because he was forever chasing that first high. Pretty sure he completely fucked his life up because of "once is fine". It's insane. I figure that's also what happens with meth. People figure why not and end up completely fucked.

    • I think it really depends on who you're hanging out with, how often and whether you have an addictive personality.

      That said my old man reckons when he was going through med school (!) in the 60's / early 70's stimulant use was rife amongst his cohort.

    • I tried meth a bunch of times. More than ten, less than twenty. It didn't really do much for me. I was never a big fan of speed or coke either. Meth absolutely consumed the people I was taking it with. Every social occasion became people ducking off to smoke little meth quietly until practically everyone had snuck off to smoke a bit.

  • Tonight was a hot dawg with coriander flowers. That's right I kept those fuckers alive since March and now we hit the delicacy stage:

    Believe it or not they're delicious.

  • i tempted the rain gods and lost

    • You did, I was outside on yard duty.

      As the clouds came across and covered the sun, the temperature suddenly dropped, it was foreboding and eventually rained a decent amount on us.

      Now it's all sunny again....for the moment.

  • I live in Brisbane but really want to move to Melbourne. Is it actually as progressive and inclusive as everyone says?

    • Depends on where in Melbourne. Inner burbs are both.

    • I think the differences have evened out a bit in recent years. You guys have not one but THREE federal Greens MPs - you've out Melbourne'd Melbourne! It depends on where you are coming from in Brisbane and where you go to in Melbourne. Some suburbs can still be rather conservative. But I think in general it is easier to find "weirdos" and there is a greater baseline tolerance of such things across the board, at uni or in workplaces.

      • Brisbane is kind of weird politically. It's definitely getting more progressive, but there's still this solid foundation of Queensland conservativism, which is very socially conservative. Brisbane is also described as being a big country town because so many people (myself included) flock here from the regions. Brisbane feels like a bit of an oasis in the desert, but some people do still bring a lot of conservative culture norms with them when they move here. At the same time a lot of people from northern nsw also move here so they kind of level things out a bit.

        As a proud weirdo this is what I'm looking for. Just somewhere that's a little bit more down with diversity in all its forms.

  • New trick everybody.

    Let's say you have a shitload of dripper hose that you need to straighten quickly. Tie one end around a tree, unravel the coil walking away from the tree so it's vaguely straight, then give it a good pull so it's taut for 30 seconds and hey presto it's straight. much more efficient than laying it out in the currently non-existant sun.

    *existent.. I swear my spelling has just fallen off a cliff since rona due to either getting rona or the shitposting in lockdown :(

  • Hey all. Has anyone seen any saliva COVID tests on their travels recently? Kidcalhoon2 just can't do the nasal tests... I've checked almost all chemists in the Thornbury, Preston, reservoir, Brunswick area....

    • I have some but nowhere near you unfortunately. The brand I have us called All Test oral fluid test if that helps your search.

    • I have some. I used one, but found it a real hassle compared to the nasal/throat swab ones. About 5 left. Am free this afternoon if you want to meet up for a handover.

      Try contacting the Treasury Pharmacy in Collins St in the cbd. That's where I got mine from.

      • Oh that's very thoughtful and kind of you thanks. My mum came through with the goods, she cleaned out a chemist over in Hawthorn and dropped them over, so all good. Kidcalhoon2 tested and is somehow negative.

  • Grrrrr so annoyed! I had an item in my jbhifi cart to preorder, went for lunch and yard duty, come back and it's out of stock.

    Now I have to order it somewhere else at a slightly higher price, so annoying!
