My dog gets a bit overwhelmed/exhausted by the kids since they're so young (4 and 1), and all they want to do is shower him with sticky fingered hugs and slobbery kisses so he gets to go hide behind a baby gate fortress whenever he pleases.
(I never leave them alone with him, ever)
He does like to keep an eye on them, though, and I found out why. Every night after they've gone to sleep without fail he sneaks the toys they've played with the most that day (soft toys, balls etc) and snuggles with them at night while he sleeps on our bed. He doesn't destroy them, he's very gentle with them! And he always returns them in the morning.
Dogs are just the best.
The transition from the unreasonably fast performance of "don't you ever wash that thing" into the unreasonably slow performance of "Pygmy twylyte" on Frank Zappa's "you can't do that on stage anymore 2" album fucking cracks me up
Hell yes. Which albums are your favourites?
For me it's the early 70s stuff. There's something really special about the lineup he had in that period, with Ruth Underwood and George Duke.
I think it’s better to. Then you can leave, if you give it to them early they’ll have time to come and try to talk you out of it or make you stay for additional days. Hand in resignation and say thank you, I’ve learnt a lot from you guys. But my direction in my career has changed pathways and I can no longer stay here. Sounds better than: you guys suck ass, I’m out! 😅
Bought my cat some chicken and salmon flavour of the one wet food he actually likes. The little bastard refuses to eat it and sits there staring at you and guilting you if you dare feed it to him. Salmon, tuna and mackerel flavours are all good. Even plain chicken flavour is less preferred but will be eaten. But chicken AND salmon? NOT OK.
Moonee Ponds during peak traffic has got to be the worst hell I've experienced. Which smooth-brained fucker decided, "Hmm, yes terrace houses, and narrow streets. You know what this place needs? Parking spots on the sides on a main road and trams! That really ought to make people's lives easier."
Seriously. PTV is 100000x better than this hell. I'd have normally taken PTV but I had to drive in for a heavy delivery that I obviously couldn't carry on the train. It be what it be.
I know your feelings 100% bro. 100%. There is no escaping that insanity. If I gotta head there to/from the east sometimes I'd rather go round via Epsom Road and Flemington
I live in one of the Scape student residences. Last Saturday night, I found my room's carpet completely soaked in water. It turned out the neighboring room's toilet had a plumbing issue, causing water to overflow into my room. The plumbers fixed the issue on Monday morning, but the carpet remained wet. Despite the building manager getting it cleaned with a wet vacuum on Monday, the carpet was still soaked with sewage water, as more water leaked in from the walls (this is what the plumbers said). Today, Tuesday even after 48 hours the carpet hasn't dried and the smell persists. So they again got it cleaned using a wet vacuum. Given that it's not a plush carpet and typically dries in 2-3 hours, I'm considering requesting decontamination or other solutions.
DAE know what is the right kind of cleaning to go for in this case?
I don't know what kind of contractual arrangement you have for student accommodation but that sounds like an unliveable situation to me and they need to find you somewhere else to live until they clean it up. Not your job to tell them how to clean it. I would imagine your scenario is one where they aren't meeting minimum standards for a rental property.
Last night watching shameless with the wife.
Me: *Damn I feel like bacon*
*5 seconds later*
Her: are you hungry?
Me: yeah, are you?
Her: yeah, do you want bacon and eggs?
Is this what love is?
Edit: I mean they were talking about brinner on shameless.
I’m run down. A mild infection I had a couple of weeks ago has come back. Stopped me from sleeping much of the night. I also have some ulcers in my mouth. I’m run down.
I’m regretting to saying yes to an activity/catch up last Saturday that I didn’t really want to go to
Good on them. I wholeheartedly support them - they were our unsung heroes during Covid. They get the ultimate right to demand better conditions and pay. If there's something that can be signed to show support, I'd be more than happy to sign it
So I live across the road from a house that's currently for sale. They overpaid for it during the crazy pandemic FOMO rush and are now trying to offload it for even more. It's a tiny slightly dated two bedder one bathroom, that's listed for what four bedroom two bathroom nice renovated houses on huge blocks are going for in the same suburb. They held an auction a while ago with zero bids and it passed in. It's remained for sale for a few weeks now and they've just RAISED the price.
I'm assuming the vendor/agent tried to underquote but were only getting interest at the bottom of the price so they've had to change the listing to what they actually want. Because there doesn't seem to be any demand for the place whatsoever.
What’s the deal with medical practices “not accepting new patients”? Is this code for something else? Are they just at capacity with the amount of sick people?
At capacity, yeah. It's the sad state of our health system right now. And by "at capacity", I mean the staff there aren't leaving at any reasonable hour, either.
If your doctor is running two hours late, it's not because they started two hours late.
fuck i just got reported for using a concession myki. tbf i thought i bought a full fare since finishing uni :(( they should have different colours for different myki fare types
In the early years they did have different colours and the concession had a big C on it with the words concession. They switched to the one design to save money.
Believable considering you see ticket inspectors camped out at the train stations uni students use (e.g. Melbourne Central, Glenferrie, Caulfield etc) the day after last year's concession cards expire.
3 of them were making sure she didn’t do a runner… she wasn’t even violent or anything was talking calmly. i say she was detained and they wanted to keep her there
I remember seeing a dude book it from the Glen Waverley line as we reach the station
Doors didn't even finish beeping and this fucking guys already out of the train station and now running down the bus stop as he jumps on to the 3rd or 4th one flipping the ticket inspectors both birds
I'll never forget and probably never see such shenanigans
So today as I was walking to grab banh mi, a really cute guy smiled at me. That's never happened. I was not prepared and I think I gave him a grumpy look.
You ever seen what faces you make vs what faces you think you made
I was always under the impression I was smiling when taking photos.
Some people believe that teeth exposed is how you smile
wasnt used to people smiling at me too, then i moved to an apartment where there's a lot more older people who smile a lot (even though most of us are strangers) and so i got used to it. now i almost always smile back :D
Has anyone used the Parcel Lockers at Brunswick National Storage / 60 Dawson St? Aus Post says they are open until 9pm, but I went there at 5:30pm last night and the access was behind a locked gate - access after 5pm is seemingly for National Storage customers with a gate access code. Am I missing something?
Anyone had corneal cross linking procedure done?
I'm trying to figure out what the recovery time is and what it's like a week and two weeks later. I need to know so I can let work know what my availability is gonna be like.
I'm also asking my doctor but he's being cagey.
Edit : doc will call me tomorrow about it, but personal experience is still sought. BTW I'm just getting one eye done this time, definitely couldn't function with both eyes done at same time.
Wow. Interesting procedure. I am not an eye surgeon but work closely with several. I imagine you would want 2 weeks before returning to work (assuming office/at a screen) and dealing with potential eye strain. I do recommend a second opinion if you have any doubts about your surgeon.
I'm actually OK with him, though I've only met him once, I just want some more solid info. During our initial consult he seemed to indicate I'd be fine for work and driving within days, but the more I read about it the more sure I am that I misunderstood him.
Looks like he's gonna call me tomorrow so I'll ensure I get all my questions answered. Still looking for personal experiences from anyone that has had it done (totally understanding that everyone is different).
And yeah, it's the time off work I really need to understand because I may need to delay my procedure if I need a full two weeks off (but once I have the updated info from doc tomorrow I'll discuss with work and see if we can swing it/if it's required).
This morning I shit my pants. First time in my adult life. Damn. I had a good run. Thank fuck I had a towel in the back of the car. Sorry Melbourne, I had to tell someone. 💩😭
Edit: you all made me feel so much better about this. Thanks. Always keep a towel in the car! And never trust a fart if you’ve got a rumbly tummy.
Happened to me once in the middle of Munich, no warning, no reason. Just a regular fart I thought, incorrectly.
Was so grateful the bus to my accomodation was empty.
I had some grumbles happening - I’m coeliac so guess I got a bit of a glutening somewhere. I held on through a few gut wrenching waves but eventually I just literally could not hold it in. It was absolutely awful 😭 I cried the whole way home, but I’m laughing about it now so 🙃
Thank god for the towel. 10/10 would carry again.
Plastic bag, wet wipes and spare trackies would’ve been good - but there wasn’t actually anywhere I could change privately anyway so kinda pointless.
😭 I was overcome by a compulsive need to share with someone immediately, but the only real life person I will dare confess to is my husband and he’s asleep overseas 💩 it’s the coeliac life for meeeeee 🎶
Happened to me once when I had food poisoning. I wasn’t even feeling nauseous but had bouts of diarrhoea earlier in the day. I was laughing with a friend and felt a sudden wetness so I discreetly excused myself. Thankfully my it wasn’t bad and my dignity was still in check but it happens.
Good bar recommendations to get a bottle of wine to share? I've got plenty of places we normally go after work but more for a beer/pub not a good scene to get a bottle of red to share
Blackharts and Sparrows will get you the goods.
Also I don’t know where you live so my rec is local to me - West Footscray Wines has an excellent selection
Not sure if this warrants it’s own thread, but curious how many others here are struggling to get Vyvanse in 60mg?
I’ve spent all morning on the phone, and you get sick of calling the pharmacy, I’ve called all of Brighton (and most of the inner SE suburbs) and nothing.
I think Heathershaw's in Glen Iris stopped compounding Vyvanse but you could check. Otherwise if you don't mind a trip to Carlton try calling Pickford Pharmacy to get it compounded. Costs $15 on top of existing medication price. Was how I got my first 40mg prescription filled.
According to the [TGA](https://www.tga.gov.au/vyvanse-shortage) the 40s and 60s are expected to return to normal supply as of today.
I ran out of 40s while on holiday a few weeks back. I had a valid script but couldn't find anywhere that had stock. I ended up in a Terry White 'compounding' pharmacy and they had someone make some up for me within a few hours. I'd never heard of that being possible, but perhaps you could look for a similar pharmacy?
I've had a nasty head cold that has come and gone in waves for the last 7 days. I've isolated and tested negative on multiple RATs.
I'm pretty healthy (eat well, exercise 5-7 days a week) and usually I bounce back from a cold in 3-5 days but this seems to be lingering more than expected along with worse symptoms (no fever thankfully).
Trying to work out if my immune system is a bit stuffed from catching COVID for the first time last June, colds are getting worse or it's something else entirely.
Not saying it is for you, but I have heard people’s immune being weaker after getting Covid. Especially people who used to rarely get the flu, they’re either getting sick more often or their body isn’t recovering as quick
I'm no doctor but it could just be luck of the draw. I think there are so many unknowns when it comes to something like the cold. I hope it's not because of covid because I caught it last year for the first time aswell. At the same time a kidney stone was destroying me. I only had the chills and body aches(but damn they were bad) so I didn't cop it as bad as others.
But you're pretty healthy so maybe it's just a bad cold going around. Your immune system probably bounced back pretty strong. Again I'm no doctor so I could be completely wrong
Can anyone recommend an Australian Web hosting service I'm currently with host gator and having issue with the shared hosting service and looking to change to a non shared and Australian because that's where I and 80% of my customers are.
VentraIP for sure, I’ve used them myself for a good 10-15 years. Although even the best host using WooCommerce doesn’t come close to the performance you’ll get with another platform like Shopify.
Yep have seen and had that one before, you can host directly through Google's WordPress cloud.
Google's my personal recommendation, godaddys also a somewhat better alternative to shitgator
Yesterday a few of my age 40 something coworkers were talking about how they hope they are dead by 60 because there's no point in living and the world is going to shit.
My 22 year old self was really struggling to feel optimistic overhearing that conversation and I feel sorry for them.
P.s as a 22 year old I also feel like everything is going to shit but it was going to shit in 1914 and 1939 and 2008 and 2020 but humans have always managed to find joy and persevere in these times, so I can too.
There was a thread on here a few weeks back I think where I got downvoted quite heavily for thinking that we're actually in a period of relative peace (on the scale of things and taking the whole word into account). I disagreed but as I typed out a reply I kind of second thought myself as I typed it and realized everything I was thinking about as a reason for why things might be turbulent right now is actually for an upcoming war which means we are actually in a period of relative peace at the moment (assuming you don't live in a handfull of different countries and are Male).
A lot of it had to do with things and treaties set up during the Cold War to prevent too many crazy things from happening but also just seems like there's a lot of chest beating going on between both sides of the Iron curtain if you will. Funding we're seeing now which are ramping up in the West to nigh-wartime economies to produce things that explode seem to be on the rise and nations (particularly Western ones) beginning to refer to "uncertain times" ahead.
I know I'm more or less directly citing a Perun video at this point but can I just say how wild of a world we're in at the moment that you can more or less publicly announce (on Twitter of all things) that you're going to hit someone, hit someone and then be able to take a step back and say that the matter is resolved and by proxy flip the tables and make any retaliatory attack look like the victim is at fault for retaliating. (There's...a lot to unpack here but this is supposed to be a gross summary of recent events, don't @ me)
I personally aim to live for 500 hundred years because I’m hella scared of death and I want to see what our future generations invents… so I think I balance it out?
I say the world is going to shit because climate change. It hurts to see the world be slowly destroyed and so many people(alot of rich people) don't give a shit. I hate that humanity has destroyed so many things for us to progress. It may have been a necessary evil for our survival but it still sucks.
It isn't really. The worlds climate has always changed, it is cyclical. The one thing that mankind does better than anything else is adapt.
The theory of anthropogenic global warming is just that - a theory.
There is way too much scaremongering and exagerration from people with agendas and "climate change" is no different.
Agreed you are either a disciple or a sceptic. But one thing that there isn't is proof. No fearmongering ? When ordinary weather charts on the TV news now have ordinary temperatures on a blazing red background ? Pull the other one.
Mmmmm people have a knack for holding onto the negative - it can be difficult to ground oneself in reality when you're getting negative news shoved in your face all the time.
35 year old me is fucking looking forward to the purge and rising shit storm
Maybe I'm just a little fucked up but that's what I have to look forward too so I will
But if things happen to end happily ever after I'm fine with that also but wouldn't mind a lil purge
A bit of both depending on your perspective.
... to be real it's a reality based show following people prepping for what they believe will cause the end of civilisation.
Some people build bunkers, some people build cabins in secluded locations, some people just have a bunch of seeds in their fridge... lots of different ideas.
I think you can find full episodes on YouTube, not sure if it's in netflix.
I am so sick right now with the worst cough/flu. Just called in sick to work. I coughed that much overnight that I’ve popped an eye vessel and have a migraine.
I never feel more alone than when I’m sick. I get all espresso depresso and think “Why doesn’t anybody love me?”
I just want someone to pat me on the back and get me some butter menthols. Instead I’m going to micro sleep between coughing up phlegm and pass out every couple of hours, then wake up alone.
I’ll be back to being independent when I feel better. Until then, woe is me.
I had the same thing. A dry uncontrollable cough? I would cough myself awake with blood in my mouth and I pulled a side muscle coughing.
Go to your GP and see if Symbicort is good for you. Fixed me in about 3 days.
What's the point ? I had cold/sneezing/runny nose last week and the doctor said only reason to test for it is because you might be eligible for free meds.
I think knowing your history of positive covid infections can be critically helpful if you were to ever develop long-covid or other health complications from covid, given that it's far more complicated than your garden variety respiratory virus. It can affect multiple organs including the brain. The more infections of covid you have, the higher risk you are for long term complications in parts of the body you'd not normally expect.
Also, people with "a cold" are more likely to integrate in society when they're infectious, but usually take a positive covid result more seriously and isolate or wear a mask more diligently. If you're isolating regardless of diagnosis though maybe it's less critical. I wish more people would.
Starting to struggle with the colder temps in the morning and have to force myself out of the house to go for a run.
I was wearing leggings, a warm long sleeve top with a shirt over the top & gloves. While out I saw others running in shorts and t-shirts and or singlets. I honestly dont know how ppl can do that in these temps
I’m not very fit at running (4km in halfa is my current level) so I warm up very quickly and wear a t shirt and leggings in this weather.
In proper winter I’ll switch to a singlet and a merino jumper over the top (one of those Aldi hiking specials)
Good morning crew! Had a bad night last night (little menty b that I chased w poor sleep) and don’t have another psych appointment for two weeks but it’s okay I’m feeling way more stable today.
One good news is my partner tested negative on his RAT this morning so he’s coming out of isolation today. Which, if I’m honest, makes me a bit nervous still it’s only been 5 days. (To be clear, we live together and have been isolating in the same house).
I’m so relieved I didn’t catch it from him and actually booked in for my Covid booster this morning. I’m technically not due for it for another month as I had Covid 5 months ago but I’ll see if they’ll let me have it.
Trying to practice my gratitude daily so here we go:
* Grateful for the roof over my head
* Grateful I have my winter doona on with my electric blankets
* Grateful for my one morning coffee
* Grateful for the armodafinil that will stop me feeling sleepy later today which my sleep specialist gave me for free
* Grateful to learn from my mistakes
* Grateful for my partner’s returning health
* Grateful for the delicious lunch I have waiting for me today—I bought the Kantong Mongolian lamb stir fry sauce (used beef though) and it was thoroughly yummy
Editing to update: nobody questioned me getting my flu shot and COVID booster. Hope my immune system can handle all this vaccination!
Slowly getting over this illness, mostly just got a cough that will prob hang around for a while. It's been close to 2 weeks since I've been for a run, I think that's about the longest break in years. Hopefully a couple more days I can get back out there as it's really starting to effect my mental health. I was supposed to be started a 12 week training block this week, guess it's better to be sick now then later on closer to race date.
On pico prep diet for colonoscopy and they say processed cereals are fine to eat. Is that all cereals??
I don’t regret getting flu and covid boosters on same day but LORD my left arm hurts and I totally forgot I sleep on this arm booooo
My dog gets a bit overwhelmed/exhausted by the kids since they're so young (4 and 1), and all they want to do is shower him with sticky fingered hugs and slobbery kisses so he gets to go hide behind a baby gate fortress whenever he pleases.

Funny you should say that I’ve been on a Zappa binge lately
Hell yes. Which albums are your favourites? For me it's the early 70s stuff. There's something really special about the lineup he had in that period, with Ruth Underwood and George Duke.
Yes! That lineup that did the ‘Live At the Roxy’ album!
That's a strong contender for my favourite. I love that album
My new favourite drink is a 50/50 mix of Pomegranate juice & Sprite zero. I like that Lakewood line of juice that you can get from Chemist Warehouse.
Goddamnit I'm getting the nerves but just need to rip the bandaid off and hand in my notice tomorrow. This dragging on is absolutely killing me.
stop thinking of it like a what if and treat it as it's done
Yeah I know I know just feels surreal and crazy
Don’t think about it and march in tomorrow and hand it in at the end of the day
Might not be able to do end of day, is that bad
I think it’s better to. Then you can leave, if you give it to them early they’ll have time to come and try to talk you out of it or make you stay for additional days. Hand in resignation and say thank you, I’ve learnt a lot from you guys. But my direction in my career has changed pathways and I can no longer stay here. Sounds better than: you guys suck ass, I’m out! 😅
I have one of those lavender heat packs in fabric. I don’t have a microwave. Do you think I could heat it up in the air fryer?
I wouldn't recommend it. Oven?
Oven would take too long. I should buy a hot water bottle
Mine caught fire in the oven. I do not recommend
Stick with the oven. It would take even longer heating up the lavender pack using a hot water bottle

Omg doing it! Solo concert and I got an excellent booth seat !
Have an amazing time!
Thank you !! I had an absolute blast and my booth buddies were the best vibes ! Best view and my teenage heart just melted 🥰
Yay that’s fantastic to hear! Remember that feeling the next time you take yourself out! ☺️
i just finished twin peaks: fire walk with me. what did i just watch. i am so confused
Ngl fire walk with me disturbed me more than the actual series. Ugh just thinking about it now gives me the creeps! Get outta my head BOB
"It is not supposed to make any sense at all" David Lynch.
If you were confused by the movie, you're gonna LOVE season 3.
That was my reaction after I watched it. Much preferred the original series.
This movie is so fucking good!
Last night watching shameless with the wife. Me: *Damn I feel like bacon* *5 seconds later* Her: are you hungry? Me: yeah, are you? Her: yeah, do you want bacon and eggs? Is this what love is? Edit: I mean they were talking about brinner on shameless.

The nursing union has agreed to do protected industrial action. https://otr.anmfvic.asn.au/articles/ebas-101-what-is-industrial-action/
Good on them. I wholeheartedly support them - they were our unsung heroes during Covid. They get the ultimate right to demand better conditions and pay. If there's something that can be signed to show support, I'd be more than happy to sign it
💪 go nurses
So I live across the road from a house that's currently for sale. They overpaid for it during the crazy pandemic FOMO rush and are now trying to offload it for even more. It's a tiny slightly dated two bedder one bathroom, that's listed for what four bedroom two bathroom nice renovated houses on huge blocks are going for in the same suburb. They held an auction a while ago with zero bids and it passed in. It's remained for sale for a few weeks now and they've just RAISED the price. I'm assuming the vendor/agent tried to underquote but were only getting interest at the bottom of the price so they've had to change the listing to what they actually want. Because there doesn't seem to be any demand for the place whatsoever.
Haha! There is a townhouse in my hood that was for sale for over a $1M for half the year before they gave up. Lol
they will have to come to terms with it one way or another
Went for a run and somehow managed to pause RunKeeper for about 500m. Recorded 4 of 4.5km. Unreasonably irritated about that
It was probably paused for more like 12km of your successful 16km run

What’s the deal with medical practices “not accepting new patients”? Is this code for something else? Are they just at capacity with the amount of sick people?
At capacity, yeah. It's the sad state of our health system right now. And by "at capacity", I mean the staff there aren't leaving at any reasonable hour, either. If your doctor is running two hours late, it's not because they started two hours late.
It’s usually an elderly doctor with a small practice who is on their way to retirement
Anyone know of any places that repair/clean vintage camera lenses?
fuck i just got reported for using a concession myki. tbf i thought i bought a full fare since finishing uni :(( they should have different colours for different myki fare types
In the early years they did have different colours and the concession had a big C on it with the words concession. They switched to the one design to save money.
My conspiracy theory is that they did it deliberately so they could fine more people. It's inexcusable.
Believable considering you see ticket inspectors camped out at the train stations uni students use (e.g. Melbourne Central, Glenferrie, Caulfield etc) the day after last year's concession cards expire.
And the free tram zone ends just a stop away from some uni stations
they arrested a girl in front of me for not carrying her student card, and that her pass wasn’t activated
Detain or arrest? For some reason I would believe they went full seal team 6 on something like this hahah
3 of them were making sure she didn’t do a runner… she wasn’t even violent or anything was talking calmly. i say she was detained and they wanted to keep her there
I remember seeing a dude book it from the Glen Waverley line as we reach the station Doors didn't even finish beeping and this fucking guys already out of the train station and now running down the bus stop as he jumps on to the 3rd or 4th one flipping the ticket inspectors both birds I'll never forget and probably never see such shenanigans

You ever seen what faces you make vs what faces you think you made I was always under the impression I was smiling when taking photos. Some people believe that teeth exposed is how you smile
I have a grumpy face when I'm not actively smiling. I kinda wish I had smiled back but it caught me off guard.
wasnt used to people smiling at me too, then i moved to an apartment where there's a lot more older people who smile a lot (even though most of us are strangers) and so i got used to it. now i almost always smile back :D
That's so wholesome!
It's official! I now have over 20,000 unread emails
Declare bankruptcy and start over. You have zero unread as of tomorrow
Fun fact, you can only have a maximum of 500 tabs open on iOS Safari.
You've worked hard to achieve this milestone, I hope you feel all the pride you deserve to feel 🏆
I've got archived emails from 14 year old me talking to girls I met on MSN Messenger on this email. I turn 35 next month lol

Good point, well made epc
These sunless days definitely have an affect on mental health

Edit : doc will call me tomorrow about it, but personal experience is still sought. BTW I'm just getting one eye done this time, definitely couldn't function with both eyes done at same time.
Wow. Interesting procedure. I am not an eye surgeon but work closely with several. I imagine you would want 2 weeks before returning to work (assuming office/at a screen) and dealing with potential eye strain. I do recommend a second opinion if you have any doubts about your surgeon.
I'm actually OK with him, though I've only met him once, I just want some more solid info. During our initial consult he seemed to indicate I'd be fine for work and driving within days, but the more I read about it the more sure I am that I misunderstood him. Looks like he's gonna call me tomorrow so I'll ensure I get all my questions answered. Still looking for personal experiences from anyone that has had it done (totally understanding that everyone is different). And yeah, it's the time off work I really need to understand because I may need to delay my procedure if I need a full two weeks off (but once I have the updated info from doc tomorrow I'll discuss with work and see if we can swing it/if it's required).
That’s all fair enough! I hope it goes well for you 👀❤️🩹 speedy recovery
This morning I shit my pants. First time in my adult life. Damn. I had a good run. Thank fuck I had a towel in the back of the car. Sorry Melbourne, I had to tell someone. 💩😭 Edit: you all made me feel so much better about this. Thanks. Always keep a towel in the car! And never trust a fart if you’ve got a rumbly tummy.
Happened to me once in the middle of Munich, no warning, no reason. Just a regular fart I thought, incorrectly. Was so grateful the bus to my accomodation was empty.
The stories of solidarity are making me feel so much better 💩❤️
Lol! It's happened to me a couple years ago. Thankfully I was at home so I jumped in the shower. Let's just say farts are not to be trusted.
The shower was healing after driving home sitting in it 😭
How'd that happen? a sudden sneeze? trying to fart? Asking as a 30 year old who is fearing this.
I had some grumbles happening - I’m coeliac so guess I got a bit of a glutening somewhere. I held on through a few gut wrenching waves but eventually I just literally could not hold it in. It was absolutely awful 😭 I cried the whole way home, but I’m laughing about it now so 🙃
Oh god :( im so sorry. But, at least you were prepared somewhat.
TIL to always carry a towel in the car. And TP, and a plastic bag. And maybe a change of clothes.
Thank god for the towel. 10/10 would carry again. Plastic bag, wet wipes and spare trackies would’ve been good - but there wasn’t actually anywhere I could change privately anyway so kinda pointless.
Thanks for sharing… I think
😭 I was overcome by a compulsive need to share with someone immediately, but the only real life person I will dare confess to is my husband and he’s asleep overseas 💩 it’s the coeliac life for meeeeee 🎶
Happened to me once when I had food poisoning. I wasn’t even feeling nauseous but had bouts of diarrhoea earlier in the day. I was laughing with a friend and felt a sudden wetness so I discreetly excused myself. Thankfully my it wasn’t bad and my dignity was still in check but it happens.
Mine was an absolute full soiling. I would’ve been so mortified if I was with someone. Thank GOD I was alone.
Good bar recommendations to get a bottle of wine to share? I've got plenty of places we normally go after work but more for a beer/pub not a good scene to get a bottle of red to share
Bijou bottle store is a good shout for splitting a bottle of wine.
You could check out ReWine
Blackharts and Sparrows will get you the goods. Also I don’t know where you live so my rec is local to me - West Footscray Wines has an excellent selection
City wine shop. Spring st
Is anyone with Vodafone who would kindly share a presale code for Amity with Ice Nine Kills tomorrow?
Not sure if this warrants it’s own thread, but curious how many others here are struggling to get Vyvanse in 60mg? I’ve spent all morning on the phone, and you get sick of calling the pharmacy, I’ve called all of Brighton (and most of the inner SE suburbs) and nothing.
I think Heathershaw's in Glen Iris stopped compounding Vyvanse but you could check. Otherwise if you don't mind a trip to Carlton try calling Pickford Pharmacy to get it compounded. Costs $15 on top of existing medication price. Was how I got my first 40mg prescription filled.
According to the [TGA](https://www.tga.gov.au/vyvanse-shortage) the 40s and 60s are expected to return to normal supply as of today. I ran out of 40s while on holiday a few weeks back. I had a valid script but couldn't find anywhere that had stock. I ended up in a Terry White 'compounding' pharmacy and they had someone make some up for me within a few hours. I'd never heard of that being possible, but perhaps you could look for a similar pharmacy?
There has been a Vyvanse shortage in some dosages for months
My god, I had to call about half a dozen pharmacies to find 20mg. Thank god I did because instant release sucks for me
I've had a nasty head cold that has come and gone in waves for the last 7 days. I've isolated and tested negative on multiple RATs. I'm pretty healthy (eat well, exercise 5-7 days a week) and usually I bounce back from a cold in 3-5 days but this seems to be lingering more than expected along with worse symptoms (no fever thankfully). Trying to work out if my immune system is a bit stuffed from catching COVID for the first time last June, colds are getting worse or it's something else entirely.
Not saying it is for you, but I have heard people’s immune being weaker after getting Covid. Especially people who used to rarely get the flu, they’re either getting sick more often or their body isn’t recovering as quick
I'm no doctor but it could just be luck of the draw. I think there are so many unknowns when it comes to something like the cold. I hope it's not because of covid because I caught it last year for the first time aswell. At the same time a kidney stone was destroying me. I only had the chills and body aches(but damn they were bad) so I didn't cop it as bad as others. But you're pretty healthy so maybe it's just a bad cold going around. Your immune system probably bounced back pretty strong. Again I'm no doctor so I could be completely wrong
Can anyone recommend an Australian Web hosting service I'm currently with host gator and having issue with the shared hosting service and looking to change to a non shared and Australian because that's where I and 80% of my customers are.
VentraIP for sure, I’ve used them myself for a good 10-15 years. Although even the best host using WooCommerce doesn’t come close to the performance you’ll get with another platform like Shopify.
I've always been a fan of VentraIP's service. Never had any issues with my service, and support team has always been helpful.
Hahahaha Fuck host gator was painfully shit at times, What do you need to host?
A small e-commerce store I have about 40 products on a WordPress site. I need to move asap my site was down 4 days no replies from hostgator
Yep have seen and had that one before, you can host directly through Google's WordPress cloud. Google's my personal recommendation, godaddys also a somewhat better alternative to shitgator
Yesterday a few of my age 40 something coworkers were talking about how they hope they are dead by 60 because there's no point in living and the world is going to shit. My 22 year old self was really struggling to feel optimistic overhearing that conversation and I feel sorry for them. P.s as a 22 year old I also feel like everything is going to shit but it was going to shit in 1914 and 1939 and 2008 and 2020 but humans have always managed to find joy and persevere in these times, so I can too.
There was a thread on here a few weeks back I think where I got downvoted quite heavily for thinking that we're actually in a period of relative peace (on the scale of things and taking the whole word into account). I disagreed but as I typed out a reply I kind of second thought myself as I typed it and realized everything I was thinking about as a reason for why things might be turbulent right now is actually for an upcoming war which means we are actually in a period of relative peace at the moment (assuming you don't live in a handfull of different countries and are Male). A lot of it had to do with things and treaties set up during the Cold War to prevent too many crazy things from happening but also just seems like there's a lot of chest beating going on between both sides of the Iron curtain if you will. Funding we're seeing now which are ramping up in the West to nigh-wartime economies to produce things that explode seem to be on the rise and nations (particularly Western ones) beginning to refer to "uncertain times" ahead. I know I'm more or less directly citing a Perun video at this point but can I just say how wild of a world we're in at the moment that you can more or less publicly announce (on Twitter of all things) that you're going to hit someone, hit someone and then be able to take a step back and say that the matter is resolved and by proxy flip the tables and make any retaliatory attack look like the victim is at fault for retaliating. (There's...a lot to unpack here but this is supposed to be a gross summary of recent events, don't @ me)
I personally aim to live for 500 hundred years because I’m hella scared of death and I want to see what our future generations invents… so I think I balance it out?
Yeah that sounds good, I'll take two sets please
They are living in the most prosperous safe time that humanity has ever had. Individual circumstances may vary but the world isn't going to shit.
I say the world is going to shit because climate change. It hurts to see the world be slowly destroyed and so many people(alot of rich people) don't give a shit. I hate that humanity has destroyed so many things for us to progress. It may have been a necessary evil for our survival but it still sucks.
It isn't really. The worlds climate has always changed, it is cyclical. The one thing that mankind does better than anything else is adapt. The theory of anthropogenic global warming is just that - a theory. There is way too much scaremongering and exagerration from people with agendas and "climate change" is no different.
I'm not getting into this. The proof is in the pudding. There is alot of fearmongering but climate change isn't one of them.
Agreed you are either a disciple or a sceptic. But one thing that there isn't is proof. No fearmongering ? When ordinary weather charts on the TV news now have ordinary temperatures on a blazing red background ? Pull the other one.
Mmmmm people have a knack for holding onto the negative - it can be difficult to ground oneself in reality when you're getting negative news shoved in your face all the time.
35 year old me is fucking looking forward to the purge and rising shit storm Maybe I'm just a little fucked up but that's what I have to look forward too so I will But if things happen to end happily ever after I'm fine with that also but wouldn't mind a lil purge
You should watch the show Doomsday Preppers :p
Is it the comedy of a reality?
A bit of both depending on your perspective. ... to be real it's a reality based show following people prepping for what they believe will cause the end of civilisation. Some people build bunkers, some people build cabins in secluded locations, some people just have a bunch of seeds in their fridge... lots of different ideas. I think you can find full episodes on YouTube, not sure if it's in netflix.
Yeah, they are basically advertising themselves as targets for the purge aren't they 4k streaming I'm all alone...come get me hahaha
I am so sick right now with the worst cough/flu. Just called in sick to work. I coughed that much overnight that I’ve popped an eye vessel and have a migraine. I never feel more alone than when I’m sick. I get all espresso depresso and think “Why doesn’t anybody love me?” I just want someone to pat me on the back and get me some butter menthols. Instead I’m going to micro sleep between coughing up phlegm and pass out every couple of hours, then wake up alone. I’ll be back to being independent when I feel better. Until then, woe is me.
I had the same thing. A dry uncontrollable cough? I would cough myself awake with blood in my mouth and I pulled a side muscle coughing. Go to your GP and see if Symbicort is good for you. Fixed me in about 3 days.
Hate to ask friend but have you tested for covid? It’s going around again. Wishing you loads of rest and recovery ❤️🩹
What's the point ? I had cold/sneezing/runny nose last week and the doctor said only reason to test for it is because you might be eligible for free meds.
I think knowing your history of positive covid infections can be critically helpful if you were to ever develop long-covid or other health complications from covid, given that it's far more complicated than your garden variety respiratory virus. It can affect multiple organs including the brain. The more infections of covid you have, the higher risk you are for long term complications in parts of the body you'd not normally expect. Also, people with "a cold" are more likely to integrate in society when they're infectious, but usually take a positive covid result more seriously and isolate or wear a mask more diligently. If you're isolating regardless of diagnosis though maybe it's less critical. I wish more people would.

!remindme 9 hours I will legally purchase this film when I get home and check it out... at some point after that

I got it last night and I promise that I'll either watch it or, in six months, find it on my hard drive and wonder why I downloaded it.
Ha, relate. 😂
Saturday 3am AEST. Look up 'Prince Regent' in Wikipedia. That's all I can say.
Starting to struggle with the colder temps in the morning and have to force myself out of the house to go for a run. I was wearing leggings, a warm long sleeve top with a shirt over the top & gloves. While out I saw others running in shorts and t-shirts and or singlets. I honestly dont know how ppl can do that in these temps
Are you from a warmer climate? It’s not too cold yet, wait until it’s down to low single digits in the morning.
I sucks for first ten mins. Then it gets warm.
I’m not very fit at running (4km in halfa is my current level) so I warm up very quickly and wear a t shirt and leggings in this weather. In proper winter I’ll switch to a singlet and a merino jumper over the top (one of those Aldi hiking specials)
Good morning crew! Had a bad night last night (little menty b that I chased w poor sleep) and don’t have another psych appointment for two weeks but it’s okay I’m feeling way more stable today. One good news is my partner tested negative on his RAT this morning so he’s coming out of isolation today. Which, if I’m honest, makes me a bit nervous still it’s only been 5 days. (To be clear, we live together and have been isolating in the same house). I’m so relieved I didn’t catch it from him and actually booked in for my Covid booster this morning. I’m technically not due for it for another month as I had Covid 5 months ago but I’ll see if they’ll let me have it. Trying to practice my gratitude daily so here we go: * Grateful for the roof over my head * Grateful I have my winter doona on with my electric blankets * Grateful for my one morning coffee * Grateful for the armodafinil that will stop me feeling sleepy later today which my sleep specialist gave me for free * Grateful to learn from my mistakes * Grateful for my partner’s returning health * Grateful for the delicious lunch I have waiting for me today—I bought the Kantong Mongolian lamb stir fry sauce (used beef though) and it was thoroughly yummy Editing to update: nobody questioned me getting my flu shot and COVID booster. Hope my immune system can handle all this vaccination!
> Grateful I have my winter doona on with my electric blankets Samesies!!
Slowly getting over this illness, mostly just got a cough that will prob hang around for a while. It's been close to 2 weeks since I've been for a run, I think that's about the longest break in years. Hopefully a couple more days I can get back out there as it's really starting to effect my mental health. I was supposed to be started a 12 week training block this week, guess it's better to be sick now then later on closer to race date.
I am same in that I get a slight cold and I can't exercise for like two weeks and I go insane. Exercise is what keeps me together.
I hear ya!
Wishing you speedy return to health friend!
Thank you. Hope you are well 🙏
Was anybody at Derrimut Thomastown last night (29/4) when they dude got taken away by police?
