Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Well in some cruel twist of fate I found out that my grandma is declining and probably wont last much longer as she’s stopped eating and drinking.
I did a rat last night and today. It’s a requirement for visiting a nursing home.
Last night negative, today this evening positive.
Explains why I’m feeling rubbish but I won’t be able to see my grandma. Maybe for the last time as well.
I’ve been here - try and make a call.
I’m not sure my uncle even knew who the fuck he was talking to, but he knew that he was loved.
gees, I’m so sorry.
That’s really rough.
My thoughts too are with you.
My thoughts are with you my friend. ♥
Thank you!
So sorry for you. Hugs.
Took myself out to dinner and met a charming fella

Did that spoiler work? Haven’t done the spoiler for pics thing yet…anyway…enjoy this lovely doggo
Omg I love the caramel and tan daschunds!
The spoiler didn’t work. You need to type something after the word spoiler for it to display.
Very nice looking fellow, great fashion sense.
Hooray I’m looking after Hambam the border collie himbo in a few weeks for a few days.
I thought I was getting the cold shoulder from my aunt (himbos owner) because I fed it all the wrong foodz. Not the case so don’t worry hambam eye fillet on pasta with a sprinkle of parmesan is still on the menu.
Wonder if he remembers me…
I’ve done it! I’ve completed my first week and I managed to attend my first meeting without making a tit of myself.
This weekend I die, and by die I mean sleep for like 48hrs straight.
There’s something about a sunny day which makes a sujuk and tasty cheese gozleme irresistible to me
Pretty sure that should be marked as NSFW, that looks so fucking good 🤤
Makes me want to get some after work! Dayum!
Ah, I see we are now allowed to name the high profile man in the Toowoomba rape case. Oh, his poor mental health.
About to step into the interview. Wish me luck!
Good luck hot stuff!
🤞
Good luck!
Go get 'em tiger, you got this 💪
🤞🏻
Fly my army of Darkness, and not so Darkness
Fly my pretties!
Note to self: Amass army of cats 📝
NB: Also amass wealth to feed the ravenous horde
A crucial step 🥲
Grouse! I love how you get into Halloween so much! (or is this a normal day at catfish residence?)
Cat costumes are very unusual, aside from the walking vests the wings are pinned to. Halloween is easy, we’re a Goth + Punk pair so the house has plenty of stuff to utilise
Hey buddies. Happy Friday. What’s your plans tonight?
I’m three hours behind, but in three hours my brother arrives, and he will probably nearly die from the heat and humidity, so we will celebrate by turning on the air conditioning in the living room for him.
And a nice cold drink I hope.
No booze in my mum’s house unfortunately. But a nice tall glass of coconut water, definitely
Anything icy cold. It doesn’t matter what.
I am tackling gyoza (!)
And the flavour is?
I don’t know they’re not done yet.
Finishing my model WWII Jeep and watching Practical Magic.
Are you building a Willys ?
The box just says “1:18 scale WWII Army Field Car Jeep”. To me at least, it looks like a Willy MB because the front ends rounded. Was just a random little present from my sibling, so probably not much accuracy to it.
Well I think that’s interesting.
Hey CEO. Guess you and I are doing things together.
Today I tested positive to covid, fun times!
Oh mate. That’s not good to hear. Stay strong. If I watch the cricket, I’ll keep you updated.
Thanks. I’m fatigued. Little bit achey and have a sore throat with a drip. Maybe fever as well.
How are you holding up?
I’m alright. Nights are the worst with a slightly blocked nose. Body aches are gone. They only lasted a day with me.
Prep for Halloween window mark VI. Adjust to boyo being on night shift. Fall over.
Make sure you update us on your window art.
Wanna guess the theme?
Hello Kitty cooks a beef Wellington lunch for the creatures she loves?
Where’s the beef?
They ate it!
Poor Daisy, et before she even evolved
upside down world
Sorry about that. I now see what others were going on about weeks ago. Will remember to edit a smidge.
don’t be sorry 😊
The Twit’s Halloween addition.
No glued crows. Thanks for the memory.
Morning after Hello Kitty’s 21st birthday bash?
A cos play convention?
Hello Kitty ends up at Revs.
Now that’s just mean. Inflation for such needs
During the day on Brunswick St Fitzroy.
Interesting…I reached out to the Hoyts spice guys because I wants my damned chicken sprinkle umami and…
We are waiting on the go ahead to range this product once again in the major supermarkets.
We anticipate that a decision will not be made till early next year now.
Sorry, that I cannot be more specific, however the decision rests on the procurement team of the 2 majors.fucking. Colesworth.
The independent Four Cousins supermarket at Parkdale Plaza (corner of Nepean and White Street in Mordi) has a great range of 'erbs and spices, including Hoyts.
so does my local foodworks, and Europa up the road,…but they have no chicken sprimks. It’s all a game of volume and those fuckers hold the stakes. shakes angry fist at the sky
I’m going to Parky Plaza shortly to get tequila from Dan’s, so I’ll have a look in 4 Cuz for you
sound the horn if sprinks be found. I’ve been all over the southeast with no joy.
(Although I did find a local that stocks kilo bags of various pizza herbs that His Lordship will go fucking ham on with his ooni)
Hey, just got back and sorry to say they didn’t have any either. There wasn’t even an empty space on the Hoyts display rack where sprinkles would be. They did have the Fancy Hanks brand chicken salt, but I suppose that’s not the same thing?
oooh fancy hanks. Another to add to my list for review.
Goddamn corporate lingo using “range” instead of “stock” now to sound more actionable
Translation : Hoyts weren’t willing to pay an extra fee for shelf space in colesworth. Bidding wars suck from a consumer’s perspective. Just fine fine fine for colesworth.
I’ll check Piedmonte’s on the way home today - curious about this sprinkle myself.it is fucking delicious I don’t know what they put in there, but the texture is absolute top notch. It’s godly on popcorn and you could just about drown a parm in that stuff with zero regrets
I live near a kfl supermarket- want me to check there?
Scored a bunch of poetry LPs, Shakespeare, some Schubert and a Julian Bream 👍 8 LPs, $16 😸
Work done!
Prosecco in hand. Noice!
Enjoy mate.
Couldn’t open my mouth and ask for the help I really need. Try again tomorrow.
what’s up?
I’ve been landed with the care of someone who has become unable to care for themselves and while talking with their family, I couldn’t bring myself to ask if there’s somewhere else they can go. But I can’t keep doing this.
Be honest. Say you need to step back, and that “we” as a group need to find some other supporting pillars to jam under there to help the person in question.
If you burn out and can’t help them, then everyone loses.
call up the person who you think is most open and most able to helping make a long term plan.
Hello DIYers, I have managed to crack the door and need to get it fixed before I leave. How do? Pls 101 me
Cover it with this
Plaster repair kit from Bunnings will do it.
Patch, putty/filler, spreader, sandpaper and some paint.
Watch a YouTube video if unsure.
You’ll be sweet.
Building manager (or your building’s website) might be able to send you the fixtures/finishes used in the apartments. You can use this to find the paint shade and get a super close match.
A shitload of wood putty.
any recommendations for making new mates? Realized in psych yesterday I’ve had a few mates drop away and have become actually pretty friggin lonely. Not much of a sports guy and obviously a bit time poor.
Men’s shed perhaps.
Volunteering helps. I’ve made so many friends from working at PAX (a gaming convention), and what’s great is that PAX is also an American show, so I’ve made not only Australian friends but Americans too!
Introvert here so take it with a grain of salt.
But I’ve found having a club/class/volunteer job you turn up to regularly both filters for shared interests, and helps you see the same people repeatedly to get to know them in a low pressure environment. (That last part is hard to do without that regular structure especially when people work a lot.)
Edit: No idea how to take the friendship beyond the club environment but that seems to be something that happens naturally or doesn’t. And just being hobby acquaintances is nice enough
