Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Also, hi, fam.
waves vigorously 👋🏻
Heeeyyyyyy!
Hi Lemon, good to see you! 👋🏼
👋 Hi lemon, how have you been?
Not too bad :) Doing the things I need to do to get out of burnout etc. Hope you’re doing well xx
(Mostly) upright and (mostly) not crying!
Ringside at the cat boxing this morning 🥊
My money’s on the black one - better footwork
My friend had a baby last week and this week her appendix burst. No bueno. I’m making some meals to take to her fam; I’ve got a veg lasagne, meat sauce (to have with pasta or rice, or add beans and it’s a chilli, burritos, etc.), and a pesto chicken pasta bake. Do you think that’s a good spread? They have three boys (plus the beb).
Sounds pretty comprehensive. Maybe a Hello Fresh or Funky Food subscription or similar for a month to take the pain out of shopping might be a nice idea if within your budget. I think it more likely that your friend will need someone to run the washing machine and/or dishwasher every couple of days - time means more than money when you’re stretched to the limit.
She has her husband at home for another month or two which will be a huge help, and her boys are old enough to help out (late primary/early high school). She’s just asked for meals so far; I’m pretty sure there’s a few of us doing it so they should be covered for a good while.
I’m heading back to melbs tm to moderate a fence dipsute at my p’s place and I do not know what i’m looking at exactly.
Can someone pls wish me luck :(
good luck friendo
Good luck. Have you read the fencing act?
Hey good luck mate 🤞
Good luck! Check out the council website, there’s usually lots of info there.
Day 22/70: First day of week 4 weigh-in.
Down 1.2kg. I weakened a couple of times this week and had chocolate and licorice. Nice that it hasn’t killed my progress.Urgh. I’m struggling with a sense of hopelessness. I try to help others but can’t seem to even help myself.
I’m trying Moobeans on the new food to see if it can go in the rotation. She’s happily eating it and I’m glad to see it contains supplemental choline and taurine as well as ‘vitamins’.
I still need to monitor her sensitive tummy and check out some finer details on salt/ash levels as it’s a cheap home brand which can have a poor track record and I otherwise wouldn’t buy. (I’m hoping that it’s one of the times the dry food is trash but the wet food is passable.)
I’m kind of leaving my plants to do their thing with the occasional Seasol/water. Waiting to see if the spinach comes good or if damping off claims them all.
Sounds like you are doing good by Moobeans and your plants. That’s enough. It really is. Big hugs.
Your dedication to your cats is unsurpassed. They are so lucky to have you to take care of them!
Thanks. I’ve only got the one but she’s my baby and the main thing keeping me alive right now
Sorry I thought you had more… when I had a cat I had many many nicknames for her, must’ve sounded like I had more than one!
She’s the lady of a thousand names ❤️
You know those days when you think “this is fine” then you realise you have spent 20 mins spiralling about what to wear this afternoon when one of your besties (who has seen you at your best and worst and doesn’t care) is dropping in for a casual hello (so you don’t even have to go out)…
…and you realise you have been in a low key panic attack over nothing most of the day you just didn’t connect … 😔
Off to have shower and a cuppa and try to reset.
So I did something a bit bad this morning. An old dude was in the car wash bay before me. He only gave his car a rinse with the hose, then he hit stop and left. I drove in and saw it said he still had like $8 credit left so I was like “score” and started washing my car thinking he just overloaded it.
Then as I finished I thought that $8 seemed to go a long way then noticed it hadn’t stopped and it had kept adding time. After reading the sign it turns out the ‘credit’ was a $15 credit card hold and you can stop it anytime before that using the stop button on the card reader (not the stop button he used on the wash options) and it’ll just charge you for the time you used with a minimum of $5. I hit the correct stop button so he wouldn’t have his card drained but the damage was done.
So he ended up paying $16 to rinse his car and also wash mine…
I’m reporting this to the AFP

Hi.

Howdy
I made it home. The fairy bread was a HUGE hit. All the kids are adorable . I’m beat an going to bed.
love you all 😘
Bug killing done for the day. Thought Warrandyte would be a bit busier, but given there more than 30mins wait for food, I guess it probably was.
Going to try to make the most of the afternoon, but I’ve already inhaled nasal spray twice on top of everything else I do to ward off hayfever.
Hope you’re all having a good day wherever you are. ✨
Well, I shan’t complain about this
busy day, bbq with the the nice part of the fam 😊 the little kids are sweet too
Is everyone else getting lots of social media ads encouraging them to join ASIO or am I being targeted? 🤣
Targetted … Have you been mixing with the wrong crowd again? /s
Maybe they want me undercover to monitor activity on Lemmy. All those subversive Aussie.Zone posts that need keeping an eye on…
Can’t be too careful. Especially when they’re not aligned with the dominant greed is good capitalistic philosophical position.
it keeps telling me to join the army
See the world, make new friends then kill them :(
I have always for as long as I can remember gotten ADF ads, I think it’s because I look at lots of outdoorsy stuff.
I don’t get social media ads so no 🙁 For once it’d be ads for something I’d be interested in!
I will say it is an improvement on all the ads for wills and pre-paid funerals I was being flooded with a while ago. I guess they decided they have some life left in me yet.
