Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
someone ate a whole packet of mint slices while working away at their desk…
Title
Me. It was me. I regret nothing
I looked at these on the supermarket shelf last night and didn’t buy them because I knew I would’ve done the exact same thing as you
After dinner mints require very little chewing therefore I can plough through a box of those.
I see zero problems with any of this
Fuel for the afternoon!
oink oink
Damn straight
I used to do Tim Tams.
I was actually looking for the new gluten free Tim tams… Found the GF mint slice. When I do find the holy grail of the GF Tim Tam rest assured it will be dealt with in the proper manner.
I am officially diagnosed with ADHD combined type! After waiting so long for my appointment and feeling so anxious that I was somehow wrong about it, it’s a huge relief. I get to try medication and looking forward to the bonus weightloss that comes from it lol
hugs and good luck
bonus weightloss that comes from it
I’m on day 3 of starting my meds and I feel like the loss of appetite is real. Like, I used to forget to eat at regular times because of the ADHD, now I’m not eating that much because of the ADHD meds. I could barely finish half of my dinner last night and as of 1pm today I’ve had half a banana.
Oh damn, it really is hitting you hard. For me it hasn’t been too bad overall, my appetite seemed to not be too impacted, but I’m wondering if it’s the low dose I’ve started on.
god that was weird, I had to call Daycare back about something. I called and introduced myself with full name. They go “Who sorry?” I repeat, a few seconds of silence and I go “I’m X’s Dad” “Ooooooh, X’s dad, hang on a second I’ll find who called you”. I think its the first time I’ve said I’m someone’s dad out loud. it has a very sobering effect.
There was a cat sitting on the side fence yowling during the night. Mr Ps bedroom is that side, so he scared it off by poking the rubber chicken toy out the window and gave it a few good honks 😂
'm fucking screaming that is genius. And the mental image is a delight.
That’s brilliant! 🤣
We have had problems with yowling cats, and I’m going to steal this idea and buy a rubber chicken. Genius!
look at your highness basking in the morning sun
incoming rant. Vulgar language may be used.
Yesterday I noticed that Coles flatbread has gone up a buck from $3 to $4. That’s 16.66666666667c increase per wrap. It’s flour and water! I only buy it because it’s made fresh right before my eyes so if you’re reading this Coles you can go and lick my old man’s left testicle you fucking bottom dwelling scabs. Yeah I’m dirty. I hope Santa brings you a big bag of farts ya scumbags.
The End
I think you could get a job writing rants. That was top notch.
It’s one of many talents I have.
It’s just price gouging at this point. I wish Aldi was more accessible for me.
Aldi are going to start delivering soon.
YES!!! The day that happens I’ll no longer shop at woolies
I went to Aldi the other day. No cottage cheese. No alfoil. No Lactose free milk. I was forced to go to Coles unfortunately. But I do hope that when Aldi starts delivering it forces the other 2 to stop the bullshit.
I’m with you. Bloody Woolworths rises their homebrand soft drinks to 1.10.
Original they were about 69 or 75 cents.
Pretty soon it’ll be double the original price.
I get the Aldi flat bread. $2/5pc.
We normally get lebanese bread (made that day) for $1.60 for 5 but sometimes it’s nice to mix it up. I’m seriously thinking about making my own.
I’m looking for something lower joule to swap out but most wraps are small or thin, or expensive, or all three. Leb bread is such an all rounder in my diet.
A1 bakery are the best ones.
Ran 10km this afternoon. I think I’ve earned a Ferrero Rocher.
lol Perth Water. I want to meet the public servant who named that!
That was probably John Septimus Roe nearly 200 years ago. He’s kind of a big deal in Perth history. Major highway named after him, High school etc.
He is Perth’s equivalent of John Batman, but revered more like John Monash. It’s all Johns for days.
cats are definitely adoring the new house. Oh that giant window facing north - not in my office, where I make noises at them for shoving everything off my workbench to sprawl, but in the dining room, where boxes and beds are placed for their use. Screen doors without modesty panels so they can breeze their whiskers and see everything and not wait for a human to put a little stool up so they can try and peep out. heating vents.
Plus now they can see the entire back yard…and they’re gonna absolutely lose their shit when the corellas invade the fruit trees.
Sounds like cat heaven
I think these are meant to be waratahs but all I see are scotch thistles
I’ve gone with the gumnuts.
We made our own it says : go away or I shall taunt you a 2nd time
Hahaha. I’ve seen ones that say FUCK OFF.
I think scotch thistles have flat tops - thistle pic
Yeah they do but I still see weeds. Haha.
Good point.
Terrible decision, absolutely shocking. I’m appalled.
Edit: are you actually trying to offend?
No but I’m sorry if I offended anyone with my new door mats I guess.
I think the only really offensive doormats are those with picture of muscle cars on them. I can even live with a Happy Christmas or Welcome To this Hous doormats (spelling error intentional - I saw one with that exact error at Vic market once). I do like the Welcome to this Tardis ones that they sell at the comic shop on St Georges Road. And the Batman ones.
WELCOME mats are a bit boring so when my friend said I’ve got some door mats for you I didn’t get too excited but when I saw them I actually like them.
Well firstly I’m going to need you to stop yelling at me.
Secondly, I’m just talking total nonsense for no good reason.
Haha. I don’t yell on Fridays. It’s my rule.
Oops, apparently I accidentally fermented the cat
pickled the puss, as they say
Do they?
well they do now, you marvelous trendsetter you
stout?
I did brew some anise seed stout awhile back, amused me to label the caps ASS
Just a bit 😉
Hahahaha ok so I just brought my golf bag up to my apartment and I’m looking through all of the pockets to clean it out/try to find my glove (found it) but I also found something completely unexpected AND telling of how long it has been since I played golf. I found 3 old porn DVDs in the big pocket, which were my friends DVDs he asked me to hide for him (I know how this sounds but I swear it’s true). This is a friend I haven’t seen or spoken to for about 10 years.
Hmm my apartment building has a free public library shelf thing… maybe I should make a donation.
I have to say it, an oldie, I can’t resist…suuree for a “friend”.
What are the movies? Anything good?
‘Driving it home’ ‘3 wood madness’ ‘David leadbetters’ guide to putting’.
You missed the obvious hole in one joke… actually that’s probably for the best!
I’m sure there would be a market for those…
You missed ‘Fore Play’.
Hmmm ok I’m going to say what the titles are in a spoiler because one of them might be a little… well you’ll see…
titles
Tight & Asian 6, Lexington Steele’s Black Reign & My Girlfriends Cock (yep that one is exactly what it sounds like)
I can’t remember if he was genuinely into that last title or if it was bought as a gag gift between the boys back in the day. No pun intended.
Who has DVDs approx 10-15 years old, internets already existed 🤷♀️
So, were these fave DVDS and were they niche 😉
Coulda been home made 😏
Pfffbbllt! I still have audio cassettes and use them
I still have Dad’s old 8-track. I must dig it out.
I could claim an Intellivesion, but I’m not certain it has survived a hoard shed situation
Um, I still buy Blu Rays. You get loads of extras on them that enhance the viewing experience. Some of the commentaries are as good as experiencing a second movie.
I wasn’t sure if I should say what they are. One of them is fairly niche…
Scooted myself down to a pub along the river. Cricket is on the big screen, the beer is cold and $10 a pint and they haven’t played a song newer than the year 2000 yet. Life’s good.
82-0 we are on a roll.
Looks like it’s going to get ugly lol
Is taht Dan Murphy’s pub still at the end of the walk near you? I used to enjoy that place.
Dan Murphy’s pub? Not sure which one you mean
Oh, I meant James Squire. The other beer guy. 😃
Nope looks like it’s gone. I can see there was a James Squire Brewhouse along New Quay but it appears to be a place called Almina@Docklands now
Is it just me or has the world turn to shit ever since COVID? First we had the pandemic, then Russia/Ukraine war, then Uber inflation, now Hamas/Israel.
It wasn’t doing so great before COVID either but the pandemic makes an excellent scapegoat for some of the shady shit going on
Yeah the pandemic really just elevated the shittyness.
my city had a failed revolution right before
The Illuminati hit the accelerator on our doom
Expect mole people imminently
It really has
If sneezing was an Olympic sport then I’d be on the podium.
Melbcat is fussing around giving indignant huffs. She’s had breakfast, meds and a treat so I think it’s because I won’t let her out. Accidentally letting her slip out behind me into the yard made her forget she’s an inside cat.
got a screen door that’s in the sun? We placated ours by opening the sliding door and letting them breeze behind the screen in the sun
Unfortunately it takes until late afternoon for the sun to slant through the window and screen door. Cruelly she can even see it approaching without being able to bask.
I could drag myself through setting up her little pipe frame house and wedge the opening against the window to let her out in a controlled way but the intruder cat would come fight with her
